similar liquids to start or rekindle a fire. Keep combustible materials at least 48 inches
clear of the wood-burning appliance at all times.
Warning:
When cleaning the wood-burning appliance, all ashes should be placed in an approved
metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed ash container should be placed on a non-

Country
Flame
strongly recommends the use of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in
your home. At a minimum, these devices should be checked on a semi-annual basis.
Warning:
CAUTION: DO NOT OVER FIRE THE STOVE.
Over firing is created by burning large amounts of small wood pieces such as pallets,
construction lumber, or combustible scraps for extended periods of time or over
firing is created by burning the stove with the ash pan open. The stove should never
be operated with the ash pan open. Either of these types of operation will create
intense heat inside the appliance. With such over firing, extreme temperatures can
occur on the outer surface of the stove and endanger occupants or combustible
materials in the area of the appliance.

should not be less than the appliance flue collar or more than three times greater than the
cross-sectional area of the flue collar.
Warning:
Do not use a grate or andirons or similar methods to elevate the fire.
