Floor Protection
In all installations, the area under and around the stove must be protected from falling ash and live coals. The floor protector must be of noncombustible material, and positioned as shown in the accompanying illustration.
The guidelines for floor protection are:
1)Completely under the stove and any horizontal runs of connector. The floor protection must extend a mini- mum of 2" (51mm) beyond each side of the horizontal connector;
2)8"(203 mm) to each side and to the rear of the ap- pliance;
3)U.S. 16"(405 mm) in front of the doors; Canada 18" (457 mm) in front of the doors.
Clearances
Clearance is the empty space required between the stove or chimney connector to the nearest combustible surface or object, such as walls, ceilings, floors, or furni- ture. Clearance distances may only be reduced by using methods approved by either the CAN/CSA B365 standard (Canada) or NFPA 211 (U.S.) Contact your building au- thority for information if you are interested in reducing clearance distances other than those presented here.

Parallel versus Corner Installations
A parallel installation is one in which the back and sides of the stove are parallel to the walls behind and to the side of the stove. A corner installation is one in which the back of the stove is positioned diagonally across a corner of the room. Each installation requires its own set of clearances.
For parallel installations the required clearance dis- tances from the stove are: 18" (457mm) to the side wall and 16" (405mm) to the back wall. From the chimney connector to the rear wall must be 18" (457mm), to the side wall 27" (685mm) and to the ceiling, 36" (914mm). Fireplace installations must meet these same clearance requirements; specifically follow these guidelines for mantel and trim clearances.
For corner installations, the clearance distances from the stove are 12" (305mm) from each corner of the stove measured straight to the nearest combustible material.
From the front of the stove, clearance to combustible materials such as furniture, curtains, fuel, etc., is: 48" (1219mm) in the U.S. and 60" (1524mm) in Canada.
