Installation
FLOOR PROTECTION
This heater must have a non-combustible fl oor protector (ember protection) installed beneath it if the fl oor is of com-
bustible material. If a fl oor pad is used, it should be UL listed or equal. The fl oor pad or non-combustible surface
should be large enough to cover at least the area under the product and 6 in. (152 mm) beyond the front and beyond
each side of the fuel loading and ash removal openings. Your heater will need a minimum 31” x 38” fl oor protector.
Floor protection must extend under and 2 in. (50.8mm) to each side of the chimney tee for an interior vertical installa-
tion (see FIGURE 2).
Canadian Installations require a minimum of 450 mm [17.7”] beyond the front of the unit and 200mm [7.8”] beyond
each side of the unit. A Floor Protector of ¼ inch thick is recommended for this installation.
