Wood stove front clearances

[David T]

I bought a US stove 2500. I will be placing the stove on a ceramic tile floor that is over a slab. The manual list the differant clearances for side and back from the stove. What I was wondering is the front clearances. The brochure say four feet to any combustables. Would seem to make sense but is there any hard and fast rules for the front clearances. I believe the floor pad should extend 18' in front but do you need four feet from any rugs or furniture. Any help apreciated.

Thank You

David.
