PRE-OPERATION NOTES
1.
Thoroughly read and understand this manual. Pay particular attention to the
maintenance and safety sections of this manual. Failure to inspect the stove and
understand these instructions may cause unsatisfactory performance.
2.
Check to see that the intake and exhaust vents are properly tight and correctly
installed.
3.
Remove protective materials such as plastic coverings, plastic bags, and other
material shipped with the stove.
4.
Insure that the stove is connected to a code approved 120 volt AC power source.
Ensure that the power provided is stable and not varying. If necessary, include a
cost-effective UPS (power source) between the stove and house power to minimize
any problems with the stove.
5.
Open the hopper lid and inspect the hopper before filling with fuel. ENSURE no
foreign objects are left in hopper before loading it with approved pellet fuel.
6.
The first time the Country Flame pellet stove is fired up, a odor or smoke may
emanate from the pellet stove. This is normal and should not last very long. Once
the unit is “broken in” (after that first firing) no future odors or smoke should
appear.
7.
Fuel should conform to A.P.F.I. standards (see page 7).
