Introduction
IMPORTANT SAFETY DATA:
Please read the entire Technical and Owner’s Manual before installing or operating your
ENVIRO Pellet Stove. Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage,
bodily injury or even death. Contact your local building or fire official to obtain a permit and any
information on installation restrictions and inspection requirements for your area.
To prevent the possibility of a fire, ensure that the appliance is properly installed by adhering
to the installation instructions. An ENVIRO dealer will be happy to assist you in obtaining information
with regards to your local building codes and installation restrictions.
The stove’s exhaust system works with negative combustion chamber pressure and a slightly positive
chimney pressure. It is very important to ensure that the exhaust system be sealed and airtight. The ash
pan and viewing door must be closed securely for proper and safe operation of the pellet stove.
Do not burn with insufficient combustion air. A periodic check is recommended to ensure proper
combustion air is admitted to the combustion chamber. Setting the proper combustion air is achieved by
adjusting the slider damper located on the left side of the stove. Minor soot or creosote may accumulate
when the stove is operated under incorrect conditions such as an extremely rich burn (black tipped, lazy
orange flames).
If you have any questions with regard to your stove or the above-mentioned information, please contact
your local dealer for further clarification and comments.
SAFETY WARNINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
Caution: Do not connect to any air distribution duct or system.
Do not burn garbage or flammable fluids such as gasoline, naptha or engine oil.
Unit hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing and furniture away. Contact
may cause skin burns.
FUEL: This pellet stove is designed and approved to only burn wood pellet fuel with less than 4% ash
content. Dirty fuel will adversely affect the operation and performance of the unit and may void the
warranty. Check with your dealer for fuel recommendations.
THE USE OF CORDWOOD IS PROHIBITED BY LAW.
SOOT: Operation of the stove with insufficient combustion air will result in the formation of soot which
will collect on the glass, the heat exchanger, the exhaust vent system, and may stain the outside of the
house. This is a dangerous situation and is inefficient. Frequently check your stove and adjust the slider/
damper as needed to ensure proper combustion. See: “SLIDER/DAMPER SETTING”.
CLEANING: There will be some build up of fly ash and small amounts of creosote in the exhaust. This
will vary due to the ash content of the fuel used and the operation of the stove. It is advisable to inspect
and clean the exhaust vent semi-annually or every two tons of pellets.
