Dutchwest Non-Catalytic Convection Heater
30002278
A flush-mounted sheet metal cover may be used on one 
side only.  If covers must be used on both sides, each 
cover must be mounted on non-combustible spacers 
at least 1” (25 mm) clear of the wall.  Your Dutchwest 
dealer or your local building inspector can provide de-
tails of other approved methods of passing a chimney 
connector through a combustible wall.  In Canada, this 
type of installation must conform to CAN/CSA-B365, 
Installation Code for Solid Fuel Burning Appliances and 
Equipment.  
NOTE: Do not vent your Dutchwest stove into a factory-
built (zero-clearance) fireplace. These appliances and 
their chimneys are specifically designed as a unit for 
use as fireplaces.  It may void the listing or be hazard-
ous to adapt them for any other use. 
Floor Protection
A tremendous amount of heat radiates from the bottom 
plate of your Dutchwest stove. The floor area directly 
under and around the stove will require protection from 
radiant heat as well as from stray sparks or embers that 
may escape the firebox.
Heat protection is provided by the CFM Corporation 
Bottom Heat Shield. Spark, ember and thermal protec-
tion must be provided by a floor protector constructed 
with noncombustible material as specified. 
In the US and Canada most installations will require 
that the bottom heat shield must be attached. Only 
when the stove is placed on a completely noncombusti-
ble surface such as unpainted concrete over earth may 
it be used without the heat shield.
Even when the bottom heat shield is installed, you 
must provide special protection to the floor beneath. 
For installation with the heat shield attached, use an 
approved 5/8” (16mm) noncombustible hearth pad with 
K = 0.84 BTU/in ft
2
 hr °F or an equivalent material with 
an R-value of at least 0.744. (Refer to “How to Deter-
mine if Alternate Floor Protection Materials are Accept-
able” section)The floor protector may be covered with 
a decorative noncombustible material if desired. Do not 
obstruct the space under the heater.
Protection requirements vary somewhat between the 
United States and Canada as follows:
U.S. Installations: The floor protector is required under 
the stove and must extend at least 16” from the front 
and left (loading door) side of the stove, and at least 6” 
from the right side and rear. (Fig. 12) 
In Canada: a noncombustible floor protector is required 
under the heater also. The floor protector must extend 
18” (457mm) from the front and left (loading door) side 
of the stove, and at least 8” (203mm) from the right side 
and rear. (Fig. 12)
Due to the side loading door, floor protector require-
ments call for more protection on the left side than on 
the right.  If you wish a more balanced look, increase 
the other side of the hearth as well.  Do not reduce side 
protection under any circumstances.
How to Determine if Alternate Floor Protection Ma-
terials are Acceptable
All floor protection must be noncombustible (i.e. met-
als, brick, stone, mineral fiber boards, etc.). Any organic 
materials (i.e. plastics, wood paper products, etc.) are 
combustible and must not be used. The floor protection 
specified includes some form of thermal designation 
such as R-value (thermal resistance) or k-factor (ther-
mal conductivity).
