The grounded electrical cord should be connected to a standard 120 volts, 60 hertz electrical outlet and also must be accessible. If this power cord should become damaged, a replacement power cord must be purchased from the manufacturer or a qualified ENVIRO dealer.

Two (2) of the screws are shown in Figure 1 and the other two (2) are in the same location but on the opposite side; behind the circuit board and beside the power cord.

Installation POSITIVE FLUE CONNECTION WITHOUT A FULL RELINE (USA ONLY): This unit does not require a full reline (in USA only) when installing into a masonry fireplace, however, it is recommended to ensure proper drafting of the appliance. IMPORTANT: Ensure the chimney and firebox are cleaned and free of all debris, including soot and ashes, before proceeding with this installation. If it is not clean soot maybe blown into the room through the unit’s blower.
Installation ADJUSTING HOPPER HEIGHT: The back height of this unit can be set to one (1) of three (3) heights; 1913/16” (503 mm), 2013/16” (529 mm), 2113/16” (554 mm). The hopper should be set to the maximum height that can be used in the installation. To change the height of the hopper up or down, remove the seven (7) T-20 screws, three (3) on each side and one (1) on the back. The screw placement is shown Figure 8. Move the hopper assembly to the required setting and replace the screws.
Installation SURROUND PANEL INSTALLATION: 1. Lift the cast top, it will come up and forward. 2. Install the daughter board onto the right side of the surround panel onto the two (2) studs. Fasten into place with a wingnut on each stud. 3. Plug the wiring harness from the daugther board into the mother board. 4. Slide the surround panel behind the cast top and line up the two (2) hooks on either side on the surround panel with the slots on either side of the Empress FPI.
Installation SLIDER/DAMPER SETTING: This is used to regulate the airflow through the pellet stove. THE SLIDER / DAMPER MUST BE SET AT TIME OF INSTALLATION. A Qualified Service Technician or Installer must set the Slider Damper. The slider damper is located behind the cast doors and under the firebox. • If the fire should happen to go out and the heat output indicator has been set on the lowest setting, the Slider Damper should be moved to the left slightl, lessen the air flow into the firebox.
Troubleshooting DO NOT: ● Service the stove with wet hands. The stove is an electrical appliance, which may pose a shock hazard if handled improperly. Only qualified technicians should deal with possible internal electrical failures. ● Do not remove from the firebox any screws without penetrating oil lubrication. ● Hold the ON / OFF BUTTON down. This is a momentary contact switch and can be damaged if held down too long. WHAT TO DO IF: 1. The stove will not start. 2. The stove will not operate when hot. 3.
Troubleshooting üCheck the exhaust blower voltage across the blower wires (>=114V on #5 setting and >= 82V on #1 setting). – Replace the Circuit Board if the Voltage reading is less than 82V. with a line voltage >115V AC. üCheck vacuum levels in the exhaust channel by bypassing the vacuum switch, then remove the vacuum hose from vacuum switch. Check the vacuum readings by placing the open end of the vacuum hose on a Magnahelic Gauge (readings must be above 0.07” W.C. (17.4 Pa) on low fire).
Troubleshooting Auger light flashes but auger motor does not turn at all. üIf the auger gear box does not turn but the motor’s armature does try to spin then the auger is jammed. – Try to break apart jam by poking at the jam through the drop tube. If this fails then empty the hopper and remove the auger cover **remember to re-seal the cover after installation** üCheck the fuse on the motherboard; nothing will work if the fuse is blown. 6. The convection blower will not function normally.
