4Installation Considerations

A. Hearth Protection Requirements

FLOOR PROTECTION: Floor protector must be non- combustible material, extending beneath heater and to the front, sides and rear as indicated. The fl oor must be non- combustible or otherwise adequately protected from radiant heat given off by the unit and from sparks and falling embers. A layer of thin brick or ceramic tile over a combustible fl oor is not suffi cient.

In US installations, it is necessary to install a fl oor protec- tor a minimum of 16 inches (406mm) in front of glass and 8 inches (203mm) to both sides of the fuel loading door. Open the door and measure 8 inches (203mm) from the side edge of the opening in the face of the appliance. *See exception.

In Canada, similar fl oor protection must be provided 18 inches (457mm) in front and 8 inches (203mm) from the sides and rear of the stove. *See exception.

*EXCEPTION: Non-combustible fl oor protections must extend beneath the fl ue pipe when installed with horizontal venting and extend 2 inches (51mm) beyond each side.

See Figure 11.4.
