FIREPLACE FURNACE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS

Immediately after your Country Flame Fireplace has been properly installed it should be tested for draft. A draft test is a simple method used to ensure air is moving up the chimney (positive air flow versus a house that may have negative pressure.) Wad up one or two sheets of clean dry newspaper. Set this paper in the middle of the firebox. Ensure that the rotary control damper is

turned fully open (clockwise). If the fireplace furnace is equipped with fireplace doors (optional), open the door’s draft controls. If the chimney system is drawing properly, smoke from this burning newspaper and the paper’s flames should be drawn up and into the open flue. If on the other hand, the smoke blows into the room or burns very slowly, either there is negative pressure in the house or the existing chimney system is not operating properly. Have the system checked by a qualified chimney sweep or certified contractor or contact a Country Flame dealer.

Things that should be checked in case of poor draft:

•Make sure the chimney flue damper is completely open. (Rotated clockwise)

•See that the flue is clear of obstructions such as debris, creosote, nests, etc.

•If chimney flue has chimney cap, remove it and make sure it is clean.

•The chimney flue may not extend high enough above the roof or it may be obstructed.

•The chimney system may have leaks substantial enough to reduce the draw.

After checking the installation for proper draft, you are ready to build your first fire. The first fire should be relatively light. This breaks in the heater slowly, rather than the sometimes-damaging effect of a flash fire in the initial firing. For this first firing we suggest the following procedure:

Step 1 During the first firing of your Country Flame Fireplace, and anytime it is refired in the future; the rotary control damper should be turned completely clockwise in the fully open position. This allows for maximum draft.

Step 2 Place several pieces of wadded-up newspaper in the forward section of your Country Flame heater directly on top of the grates.

Step 3 Directly on top of the newspaper; place a good size bundle of lighter wood, rolled-up newspaper or small kindling.
