MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

The frequency of performing Inglenook fireplace maintenance depends on site-specific conditions and the frequency of use. Country Flame recommends that a certified service technician perform an annual checkup prior to the start of each heating season. Both specific and general maintenance guidelines are presented in this section. If there are any questions about maintenance or proper service, contact a local authorized dealer, a certified service technician, or Country Flame direct for additional clarification. IMPORTANT:

TURN OFF INGLENOOK POWER AND SHUT OFF THE GAS BEFORE SERVICING.
