FLOOR PROTECTION


If a freestanding model is to be installed on a combustible floor, a non-combustible pad must be placed below it to
protect the floor from burning material from the stove. The pad must be 36” wide by 37” deep. UL tests were
conducted without a floor protector. Therefore, the protector can be of any thickness and any K* factor.

The unit must be positioned on the pad so that there is a minimum of 16” from the front of the door opening to the
front of the pad, and a minimum of 8” measured horizontally from the sides of the fuel loading and ash removal
openings to the sides of the pad.

NOTE: For clearance reductions using wall protectors, refer to the NFPA -211 code.
