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

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.

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.
