I have a 1986 Nordic Eric wood stove, my insurance agent needs proof that it is UL approved. Does anyone have a manual that shows that it is UL approved. Maybe someone could take a picture of it and send it to me at: [email protected]

An old thread on this stove says it has UL testing.

I don't recall seeing a manual posted. Is the UL tag still on the back of the stove? That should suffice. If not, then it has lost its certification.
The clearances for this install look very close. Also, check the rear UL label for specified clearances to make sure that they are sufficient in this installation.
Just purchased Nordic "Erik" Stove in Good Condition
Just bought this mid-1980s Nordic stove. It is a freestanding unit on legs, and appears to be in excellent condition, with manual and UL listing tags all intact. It still looks exactly as this one from the original brochure, with a little more heat staining around the top edges of the doors...

All the clearances are within spec. The straight on view makes it look close because you can't see the rear and side clearances.An old thread on this stove says it has UL testing.

Unlisted stoves require 36" clearance in all directions. If that is true, full-size brick behind the stove then the clearance can be reduced to 18" to the rear and sides. It looks like there may be a wood shelf above the stove which also needs to respect clearance requirements from the stove and stovepipe.
It’s real brick, been there for 34 years. Thanks for the info. I installed it back then according to the Nordic specifications.
Your right, I recently changed insurance and I had a heck of a time getting them to approve it, but they finally agreed it wasn’t a hazard.
