FLOOR AND WALL PROTECTION
1.
You will not need any floor protection if your floor is constructed of a non-combustible
material such as brick, metal or concrete. If your floor is constructed with a combustible
material such as hardwood, carpet or linoleum, you must place protection between the
stove and the combustible material. There are many floor and wall board
manufacturers. The type of board you choose should be U.L. rated and listed Fiber
Board or Masonite of some type. After examining the area you plan to place your stove
and determining it requires a board, the next step is to select the proper size. The stove
you choose will determine the size board that is required. The approved protector board
should be large enough to provide a minimum of eight inches (8”) behind the unit, eight
inches (8”) on either side and sixteen inches (16”) in the front where the door is located.
This stove requires a minimum of 42.0” D x 3

Installation on a Concrete Floor
An appliance mounted on a concrete floor does not
require floor protection. Carpeting and any other combustible material must not cover
the Floor Protector. If a combustible surface is applied to the concrete floor, a clearance
must be maintained equivalent to the area reserved for the floor protector. Floor

Installation on a Combustible Floor
If the appliance is to be installed on a combustible floor or a
combustible floor covering, it must be installed on a 1” thick non

protector or a durable equivalent, with a “R” factor of no less than “2.” The pad must be installed
beneath the unit, extending 16” (U.S.) on the side equipped with a door, and 8” on all other sides.
