Introduction
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: “S

”.
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.
The appliance, flue gas connector and the chimney flue require regular cleaning. Check them for blockage
prior to re-lighting after a prolonged shut down period.
ASHES: Disposed ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container
of ashes should be on a non-combustible floor on the ground, well away from all combustible materials
pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispensed, they
should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have been thoroughly cooled.
ELECTRICAL: The use of a surge protected power bar is recommended. The unit must be
grounded. The grounded electrical cord should be connected to a standard 110-120 volts,, nominal
average 2.0 Amps (4.1 Amps peak), 60 hertz electrical outlet and also must be accessible. If this power
cord should become damaged, a replacement power cord must be purchased from a qualified ENVIRO
dealer. Be careful that the electrical cord is not trapped under the appliance and that it is clear of any hot
surfaces or sharp edges. This unit’s maximum power requirement is 184 watts (322 watts peak).
When installing the stove in a mobile home, it must be electrically grounded to the steel chassis of the
home and bolted to the floor. Make sure that the structural integrity of the home is maintained and all
construction meets local building codes.
GLASS: Do not abuse the glass by striking or slamming the door. Do not attempt to operate the stove
with broken glass. The stove uses ceramic glass. Replacement glass must be purchased from an ENVIRO
dealer. Do not attempt to open the door and clean the glass while the unit is in operation or if glass is
hot. To clean the glass, use a soft cotton cloth and mild window cleaner, gas or wood stove glass cleaner,
or take a damp paper towel and dip into the fly ash. This is a very mild abrasive and will not damage the
glass.
OPERATION: The door and ash drawer cover must be kept closed securely except during ignition,
refuelling and removal of residue material to prevent fume spillage and for proper and safe operation of
the pellet stove. Also ensure all gaskets on the door are checked and replaced when necessary.
IMPORTANT: The door and ash drawer cover must be kept closed except during ignition, refueling and
removal of residue material to prevent fume spillage.
CAUTION: When operating during adverse weather, if the unit exhibits dramatic changes in combustion
stop using the unit immediately.
KEEP ASH PAN FREE OF RAW FUEL. DO NOT PLACE UNBURNED OR NEW PELLET FUEL IN ASH PAN.
A fire in the ash pan may occur.
