Version 1.0c ix
15. NEVER use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or similar
liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors
and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
16. INSTALL a smoke detector within the proximity of a fireplace.
17. NEVER put foreign objects or burn unapproved material in any fireplace.
18. NEVER block any free airflow through open vents connected to the fireplace or fireplace
door units.
19. The chimney system should be checked twice a year (minimum) for any buildup of soot or
creosote. Improperly installed and maintained fireplace furnaces can cause home fires.
20. When fireplace doors are installed and closed, in the event of an extended power outage, the
combustion air opening of the fireplace door system must be opened at least one turn.
21. When Country Flame Fireplace Doors are installed on a new or existing fireplace, it is
essential that all fireplace hot air vents be left open. Open vents discharge hot air into the
home. Closed vents will cause a heat buildup that can violate the safety ratings of the
fireplace, fireplace doors, or other components in the heating system. For safety reasons, it is
strongly recommended that all grilles mounted on fireplace duct outlets be of the non-
closable type.
22. NEVER install a Country Flame fireplace door on a zero clearance fireplace.
