SAFETY NOTES
1. Country Flame Technologies has no control over the proper installation or proper care of a
product. As such, Country Flame Technologies grants no warranty, implied or written, for
the installation or maintenance of any product. Country Flame Technologies assumes no
responsibility for any consequential damage resulting from improper installation or improper
care of any specific unit.
2. Please fill out the warranty card included with this manual. Return the portion of the
warranty card to Country Flame Technologies within 30 days of retail purchase in order to
activate the product warranty. Please retain a copy of the warranty card and the original retail
receipt with this manual.
3. Fireplace Furnace products require a natural draft to operate properly. Installation of a
Country Flame Door product will improve efficiency of the fireplace through the control of
combustion air. Blockage of any input air or exhaust air system is a violation of Country
Flame’s warranty. Further, blockage of any draft system, whether input, or output air, will
create a dangerous condition that can lead to a house fire or even death. Ensure that this and
any fireplace product has been properly installed and inspected before it is operated.
Improper installation can also impact homeowner’s insurance. Improperly designed
chimney, flue, or an improperly installed fireplace or fireplace door will restrict natural draft
thus causing problems with proper fireplace combustion. Operating internal home exhaust
fans will also cause problems with fireplace natural draft.

instructions provided by competent authority. Only qualified service personnel should make
installations and repairs. Any parts removed for servicing must be replaced prior to
