The firebox may be installed directly on a combustible floor or raised on a platform of an appropriate height. When the firebox is installed directly on carpeting, tile, or other combustible material, other than wood flooring, the firebox shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the enclosure.

To access control door, build a platform to make the bottom of appliance equal to or higher than top of finished hearth extension, or elevate unit a minimum of 7/8" above subfloor.
