If I read that correctly, if you have room to open the door and clesn it, that should be enough for safety. But don't take my word for it when all manuels are online at their website. Here is what I found for clearances. I have an Englander PVDC. Much info on their website and great tech support by phone.

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 one inch (1”) behind and four inches (4”) 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 31” x 32” 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.
