3.4 floor protection
If the appliance is to be installed on top of a combustible floor, it must be placed on an approved non-combustible
hearth pad, that extends 8" (203mm) beyond the appliance sides and back and 18" (45.7cm) to the front. The
reduced clearance from the back of the appliance may result in the appliance pad terminating shorter than 8"
(203mm) beyond the appliance.
NOTE: Floor protection is required for spark and ash shielding, but not for limiting floor temperatures
from the radiant heat of the appliance. The appliance was designed and safety tested so that without
any protection, the floor would not overheat.
Refer to local building codes for suitable floor protection materials.

3.5 outside air
The following are signs that fresh air may be required:
• When there is combustion present: Wood burns poorly, smoke spills, back-draft takes place and your
chimney does not draw steadily.
• In the winter there is too much condensation on the windows.
• Opening a window seems to alleviate the above symptoms.
• A ventilation system is installed in the house.
• Other devices are present that exhaust house air.
• The house has tight fitting windows and/or is equipped with a well-sealed vapour barrier.
Systems such as HRV’s are designed to bring fresh air into your home and will resolve these related performance
issues with your appliance.
