How is the Harvia Legend 240 GreenFlame installed?
The Harvia Legend 240 GreenFlame stands on a floor strong enough to carry it and its stones, on its adjustable legs, inside the safety distances below, and connects to a T600 chimney. Harvia's manual says all local regulations apply, that the stove is not suitable for a shared flue, and that the local fire authorities can give detailed fire-safety requirements. Harvia's installation manual, under Documents, gives the step-by-step installation and the chimney connection.
Does the Harvia Legend 240 GreenFlame need floor protection?
It depends on the floor under the Harvia Legend 240 GreenFlame. A bare concrete floor at least 2.4" (60 mm) thick needs no protection. A tile floor needs Harvia protective bedding or similar heat-radiation protection, because the adhesives and waterproofing under tile do not resist the stove's heat. A floor made of combustible material needs the bedding too, plus non-combustible floor protection in front of the stove door. Harvia protective bedding is offered as an add-on with this stove and is sold separately; it does not come with the stove.
Harvia Legend 240 GreenFlame safety distances
Keep at least these distances between the Harvia Legend 240 GreenFlame and anything that can burn. Harvia's distances assume the stones are piled so that they cover the stove body.

| Rear to combustible material |
9.8" (250 mm) |
| Front to combustible material |
24.8" (630 mm) |

2.0" (50 mm) if air can circulate in front and at one side; 3.9" (100 mm) in a recess |
Connecting the Harvia Legend 240 GreenFlame to a chimney
The Harvia Legend 240 GreenFlame connects at the top or the rear through a 4.5" (115 mm) opening, to a chimney of temperature class T600 with a flue at least 4.3" (110 mm) across; it cannot share a flue with another fireplace. The Harvia WHP1500 chimney kit (sold separately) fits the top opening, and its page gives the roof and clearance requirements. For North American 6" chimney pipe, the Harvia WZ115155 pipe adapter (sold separately) adapts the opening.
