masonry, or when installed on a combustible floor,
on a listed floor protector, such as Hy-C or Impe-
rial Model UL3648BK or equivalent. Floor protector
must be 1/2” minimum thickness (R value = 0.84,
see page 21 for calculation formulas) non-combus-
tible material or equivalent. The base must extend
at least 16” beyond the front of the access door,
6” to the sides of fuel opening, and 11” beyond the
rear. It must extend under and 2 inches beyond
either side of the stove pipe if it is elbowed towards
a wall. (See figures 10 & 12 and consult local build-
ing codes and fire protection ordinances.)

NOT COVER THE FLOOR PROTECTOR. THESE
MATERIALS MUST REMAIN OUTSIDE OF COM-
BUSTIBLE CLEARANCES, SEE FIG. 10-12
2. The stove must have its own flue. Do not connect
this unit to a chimney flue serving other appli-

required, utilizing either a recently cleaned and
inspected 6” lined masonry chimney or a 6” i.d.
listed manufactured chimney.
