A. Hearth Protection Requirements

FLOOR PROTECTOR: Floor protector must be non- combustible material, extending beneath heater and to the front/sides/rear as indicated. The floor must be a minimum of 1/2 inch (26mm) thickness ("k" value = 0.84, R value = 0.59) 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 floor is not sufficient. See Alternate Floor Pro- tection on page 12.

In USA installations, it is necessary to install a non- combustible floor protector at least 16 inches in front and 8 inches to both sides of the fuel loading doors. See *excep- tion below.

In Canada, similar floor protection must be provided 18 inches (450mm) in front and 8 inches (200mm) from the sides and rear of the stove. See *exception below.

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