EMBER PROTECTION:
It is necessary to install a Type I
floor protector.
Floor protector must be non-combustible material, extending
beneath appliance
with a minimum of 6 inches (152mm) in
front of glass and 6 inches (152mm) to both sides of the

CAUTION
Hearth and Home Technologies does not recommend adhesive
based vinyl flooring due to thermal expansion. Floating-style
flooring (LVP - luxury vinyl plank or LVT – luxury vinyl tile) can be
used, but it will reach temperatures up to 110 °F in a room with
ambient temperature of 70 °F. Consult flooring specifications to
ensure compatibility.
When using LVP/LVT flooring, HHT Recommends pellet stove
and inserts have 29 inches of alternative flooring in front of the
stove or insert before using LVP/LVT (luxury vinyl plank/tile
flooring). Whether the stove or insert sits flush on the floor or is
elevated on a raised hearth, 29 inches of alternative flooring is
required in front of the stove or insert.
For all other flooring, continue to follow clearance to combustible
requirements in the installation manual.
NOTICE:
Clearances that do not meet the minimum guidelines
could result in damage or buckling to the vinyl flooring and is
done at the installer’s risk.
Fire Risk
Comply with all minimum clearances to
combustibles as specified.
Failure to comply may cause house fire.
