SAFETY NOTES
1. Country Flame Technologies has no control over the installation or proper care of your unit.
Failure to properly install a Country Flame product can create unsafe conditions for both
property and human life. Country Flame Technologies grants no warranty, implied or written,
for the installation or maintenance of your unit. As such, 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 in this manual. Return the portion of the warranty
card to Country Flame Technologies. Please retain the other portion of the warranty card.
3. Smart Fireplace Furnace products require natural draft. Plan for proper venting during
installation. Improperly designed chimney, flue, or improperly installed fireplaces will restrict
natural draft. Problems with natural draft will create problems with fireplace combustion.
Operating internal home exhaust fans will add to problems with a fireplace’s natural draft.
4. Never attempt to repair any part of a Smart Fireplace Furnace unless following explicit
instructions. Only qualified service personnel should make installations and repairs. Any parts
removed for servicing must be replaced prior to operation.
5. Any modifications to a Smart Fireplace Furnace unit, unless authorized in writing by Country
Flame Technologies, could be dangerous and immediately voids the warranty.
6. NEVER use an extension cord. NEVER cut or remove the grounding prong. ALWAYS
properly ground all metal parts of a Smart Fireplace Furnace. Ensure power is provided from a
code approved 120-volt 60-hertz grounded electrical source. It is strongly recommended to
use a dedicated electrical circuit. Consult a qualified electrician.
7. ALWAYS perform maintenance or cleaning on only a cool Smart Fireplace Furnace.
8. NEVER place combustibles on or near a fireplace. Fireplaces will become extremely hot and
will cause combustible material to ignite if placed on or near the unit.
9. NEVER allow children near any fireplace during operation. Familiarize yourself with all
operating instructions contained in this manual.
10. Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperature and maintain a
safe distances to avoid burns or clothing ignition. Children should be supervised when they
