FLOOR AND WALL PROTECTION
Floor Protection
If your floor is constructed of a non-combustible material such as brick or concrete, there is
no need for floor protection. If the floor is constructed of a combustible material such as
hardwood, linoleum, or carpet, then you will be required to use floor protection between the unit
and the combustible. The protection should be U.L. approved or equal, and should be large
enough to provide a minimum of six inches (6”) behind and on both sides of the stove. The
clearance in front of the stove should be at least six inches (6”). This freestanding pellet unit will
need a minimum 36” x 36” floor protector.
Wall Protection
From the rear and the sides of this stove only six inches (6”) of clearance is required to
paneling, wallpaper or drywall. The pellet vent pipe would require the standard three inches (3”)
clearance, or as recommended by the manufacturer. Normally additional wall protection is not
required with this type unit.
