Place the stove on a noncombustible floor or floor protector
that extends a minimum of 6 inches (152mm) to the front
of the load door opening, 6 inches (152mm) to the sides of
the door opening, and 1 inches to the rear. Floor protection
must also extend 2 inches (51mm) beyond each side of any
horizontal flue pipe. The minimum floor protector material
is 20 gauge sheet metal. Other floor protector materials are
ceramic tile, stone, brick, etc. Figure 3.3
NOTE for Canadian installation only:

In Canada, you may follow the smaller U.S. floor

completely shut-down the appliance, and allow it to cool
to where all fire is extinguished and the combustion
blower and its indicator light shuts off, prior to opening
the firebox door or ash door.

deep (658mm X 711mm).
*Floor protection dimensions for the front and sides are
measured from the appliance door opening in The United
States. In Canada, the side dimension is measured from the
widest part of the appliance.
