The floor protection
If the stove is to be installed on a combustible floor, it must be placed on a non-combustible
hearth pad. In the USA, the floor protector must extend 8” beyond each side of the fuel loading
door and 16” to the front (18” to the front in Canada). (See fig. 4)
Floor protection under the stove must be a UL 1618 Type 1 Ember Protector composed of non-
combustible material for protection from radiant heat, sparks and embers.
Individual sections of floor protection must be mortared together to prevent sparks from falling
through to combustible materials. Any carpeting must be removed from under the floor
protection.

Installation Clearances
It is extremely important that you respect required installation distances and that you respect
local installation regulations. This is for your safety. The manufacturer is not responsible for the
product if it is not installed following these recommendations. These clearances may only be
reduced by means approved by the regulatory authority.
One necessary precaution when installing a wood stove is to leave sufficient space between the
stove (top, sides, back, front, and under stove pipes) and any other material that can catch fire.
The clearance from the top of the unit to the ceiling is 75" (190.5 cm). All other clearances are
found in the table below.
A combustible surface is anything that can burn (i.e. sheet rock, wall paper, wood, fabrics, etc.)
These surfaces are not limited to those that are visible and also include materials that are
behind non-combustible materials. If you are not sure of the combustible nature of a material,
consult your local fire officials.
