4. WARNING: A catalytic stove must always be placed on a listed floor protector if the existing floor where the stove
is to be placed is made of any combustible material. IF THE AREA WHERE THE STOVE IS TO BE PLACED IS
CARPETED, THE CARPET MUST BE REMOVED. A LISTED FLOOR PROTECTOR IS NEVER TO BE
PLACED ON CARPET. CHECK LOCAL CODES FOR ADDITIONAL CARPET RESTRICTIONS AND FLOOR
PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS.
SHROUD AND TRIM INSTALLATION
Each Country Flame insert can be installed with an optional shroud and trim package. There are three shroud and trim
packages available for each catalytic stove depending on the installation requirements. There is the (a) standard shroud kit,
(b) the oversized shroud kit, and (c) the custom shroud kit. The size of the fireplace opening and the surrounding fireplace
facing will determine which one of these kits will be selected by the installer or homeowner. In the event there is any
confusion, about which one to select, the local Country Flame Dealer or Country Flame will be able to assist in the
selection of the appropriate shroud kit.
Once the stove is properly located in the opening, leveled on the floor, and installed in its finished position, the installer
would pull the stove out from the fireplace in order to install a shroud kit on the catalytic stove. FIGURE 9 shows a
shroud kit on a generic stove; however, each Country Flame shroud kit comes with detailed instructions for use in
installing the kit on a specific model stove. Refer to these instructions and in the event of any confusion, contact Country
Flame or its local dealer to assist with clarification.
