Installation
Floor protection
Your stove must be installed on a non-combustible material
plate to protect the floor and avoid fire which would be caused
by:
•
Projections of sparks from door opening or loading
logs;
•
The heat radiation when stove runaway might cause a
self-inflammation of the floor and the coating;
•
Flow of creosote when there is a chimney fire.
The coating used must be non-combustible and approved
according to standard UL1618 for USA or your local codes
(Example: cement, brick, ceramic tiles…)
