DECORATIVE DOORS
Optional doors are available from Country Flame for all catalytic stoves. The purchase of optionally decorated or plated
doors in no way impacts the overall operation or efficiency of a stove. Optional doors are strictly decorative and provided
to allow customers to meet a variety of home décor options. Today’s plating technology is almost completely done
outside the United States. This makes plated doors an expensive option. Damage of any kind to plated doors results in
costly repairs that no one wants to pay for.
It is strongly recommended by Country Flame that homeowners follow the care and maintenance procedures for plated
doors provided in this manual. Any damage that has been caused by misuse or improper cleaning techniques will not be
the responsibility of Country Flame.
Gold or plated door should be wiped down regularly to ensure the luster and beauty of the door system lasts the life of the
stove. Always use an approved glass cleaner (i.e. Windex, Glass Plus) and a lint free soft cloth to polish the doorframe.
DO NOT use any abrasives, like steel wool, brass polish, cleaners, like comet, or other household cleaners. If these
products are used on the plating, the door will be permanently scratched and the finish ruined. If damage does occur to
the doors from improper cleaning, the solution will be expensive to return the doors to their original luster. The doors
would have to be returned to Country Flame for refinishing. Country Flame can accomplish the repair of any door but it
is expensive. Use proper care in cleaning plated and other plated surfaces and a lifetime of enjoyment will be yours. Cast
doors require little or no care as long as abrasives are not used.
ROOM AIR BLOWER MAINTENANCE
All Country Flame catalytic stoves come equipped with a room air blower or have an optional capability to install a room
air blower. Before any room air blower is operated, some basic electrical safety precautions should be taken. The room
air blower is like any other home appliance; it operates off standard household electrical voltages and currents. This
means that if improperly installed, the blower will create conditions that can cause electrical shock or even death. Ensure
that a certified electrician has reviewed or inspected the installation of the wiring system before operating the blower
system.
WARNING: ROUTE POWER SUPPLY CORD AWAY FROM THE STOVE. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS
WARNING CAN LEAD TO A MELTED POWER CORD AND A SHOCK HAZARD.
WARNING: NEVER COVER CIRCULATING AIR INLETS TO THE STOVE BLOWER.
WARNING: MODIFYING THE BLOWER SYSTEM OR IMPROPERLY INSTALLING THE BLOWER
SYSTEM WILL IMMEDIATELY VOID THE COUNTRY FLAME WARRANTY.
NOTE: STOVE BLOWER SYSTEMS HAVE MOVING PARTS THAT REQUIRE ROUTINE ATTENTION.
Maintenance schedules will be affected by the use of the stove. Frequent to daily use will shorten the interval between
maintenance intervals. Inspect the fan for routine cleaning and oiling to keep the blower system performing at optimal
efficiency. At least once a year, the fan should be removed for cleaning. During cleaning it should be determined if
lubrication of the electrical motor is required. High temperature blower motor systems are lubricated at the factory. These
motors should require no further lubrication; however, at higher inlet temperatures, increased bearing life can be achieved
by annually re-lubricating the motors with 10 to 20 drops of Anderol Number 465 high temperature synthetic lubricant.
DO NOT USE petroleum-based oil, as premature bearing failure will result.
