12. NEVER connect this unit to a chimney flue serving another appliance.
13. ALWAYS follow the lighting instructions in this manual; short cuts of any kind can be dangerous.
14. Check your local building codes and consult your insurance company before installing your unit.
15. Due to high temperatures, the pellet stove should be located out of traffic and away from furniture and
draperies.
16. Clothing or other flammable material should not be placed on or near the room heater.
17. When disposing of ash accumulations from your unit, always place them in a metal container with a
tight fitting lid. The closed container must be placed on a non-combustible surface well away from all
combustible materials, pending final disposal. The ashes should be retained in the closed container until
all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
18. Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing a room heater must be replaced prior to operating the
room heater.
19. Your unit is designed and approved for burning of Premium Wood Pellet fuel, which meets or exceeds
APFI standards only. Burning of solid fuel in other than pellet form is not permitted. Failure to comply
with this restriction will void all warranties and the safety listing of the unit. Poor quality fuel will
directly (and adversely) affect efficiency and cleanliness of your unit’s operation. Your Country Flame
dealer can help you make the proper fuel choice for your area.
20. NEVER use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or similar liquids to
start or “freshen up” fire in this heater. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
21. INSTALL a smoke detector/carbon monoxide detector within the proximity of your pellet stove.
22. NEVER put foreign objects in the hopper. NEVER burn trash or unapproved material in your LR-01.
23. NEVER block free airflow through open vents or fresh air intake.
24. The exhaust system should be checked twice a year (minimum) for any buildup of soot or creosote.
25. This unit’s exhaust system works with a negative combustion chamber pressure and a low positive flue
pipe pressure. It is very important that the exhaust system be properly installed and air tight. The flue
pipe joints should be sealed. Use high temperature RTV (500
0 F) (260 0 C) silicone sealant or aluminum
flue tape and secured each joint with at least (3) sheet metal screws. Improperly installed stove flues are
the major cause of home fires. Always provide a fresh air direct connect to the appliance.
26. When installed in a mobile home, a pellet stove must be grounded to the steel chassis of the mobile
home and bolted to the floor in compliance with and according to H.U.D. requirements.
27. SOOT AND FLYASH: The products of combustion will contain small particles of flyash. The flyash
will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of the flue gases. Incomplete
