NOTE: Do not vent your Intrepid II into a factory-built (zero-clearance) fireplace. These appliances and their chimneys are specifically designed as a unit for use as fireplaces. It may void the listing or be hazardous to adapt them for any other use.

DO NOT CONNECT AN INTREPID II TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.

Floor Protection

Atremendous amount of heat radiates from the bottom plate of an Intrepid II, and the floor beneath requires two kinds of special protection.

Heat protection is provided by a Bottom Heat Shield, part #0307.

Spark and ember protection is provided by a floor pro- tector, which may be any noncombustible material.

For a new hearth, we recommend a noncombustible floor protector such as 1/4” non-asbestos mineral board or its equivalent, or 24 gauge sheet metal. If carpeting is present, it must be removed before installation of the floor protector. The floor protector may be covered with a noncombustible decorative material if desired. When using brick, tile, or stone, individual pieces must be mortared so sparks cannot fall through.

Intrepid II Woodburning Stove

Most installations will require that the bottom heat shield be attached. Only when the stove is placed on a completely noncombustible surface, such as unpainted concrete over earth, may it be used with- out the bottom heat shield.

Even with the bottom heat shield installed, you must also use a floor protector.

In the United States, the floor protector required under the stove must extend at least 16” from the front of the stove - not from the ashlip - (Labeled ‘E’ in Fig. 11), and at least 6” from the sides and rear (‘D’, Fig. 11).

To meet the requirement in the United States, a floor protector must be at least 34” wide and 40” deep.

In Canada, the floor protector required under the stove must extend 18” (460mm) to the front (labeled ‘E’, Fig. 11), and 8” (200mm) from the sides and rear. (‘D’ ,Fig. 11)

To meet Canadian requirements, a floor protector must be at least 38” (965 mm) wide and 44” (1118 mm) deep.

Floor protection also must extend under the chimney connector and 2” (51 mm) to either side. (‘C’, Fig. 11) For 6” (152 mm) connector used with the Intrepid II, the protector must be a minimum of 10” (254 mm) wide, centered under the connector.
