Safety Warnings & Recommendations

* This manual is designed for the technician in conjunction with the owner’s manual. *

Please read this entire 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. Any unauthorized modification of the appliance or use of replacement parts

not recommended by the manufacturer is prohibited. All national and local regulations and

European Standards shall be complied with when installing this appliance.

Caution: Do not connect to any air distribution duct or system.

Warning: Parts of the appliance, especially the external surfaces, will be hot to touch when

in operation so use due care and the fire gloves provided. Never place wood, paper, furniture,

drapes or other combustible materials within 80cm (311⁄2”) of the front of the unit, 20cm (77⁄8”) from

each side, and 10cm (4”) from the back of the unit. Do not let children or pets touch it when it is hot.

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.

FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND SMOKE DETECTION: All homes with a pellet burning stove should have

at least one fire extinguisher in a central location known to all in the household. Smoke detectors should

be installed and maintained in the room containing the stove when installing and operating a pellet

burning appliance. If it sounds the alarm, correct the cause but do not deactivate. You may choose to

relocate the smoke detection devise within the room; DO NOT REMOVE THE SMOKE DETECTOR FROM

THE ROOM.

CHIMNEY OR RUN AWAY FIRE: Call local fire department. Close the draft fully. Extinguish the fire

in the burn pot liner with a cup of water and close the door. Examine the flue pipes, chimney, attic, and

roof of the house, to see if any part has become hot enough to catch fire. If necessary, spray with fire

extinguisher or water from the garden hose. IMPORTANT: Do not operate the stove again until you are

certain the chimney and its lining have not been damaged.

FUEL: This pellet stove is designed and approved to only burn wood pellet fuel with up to 3% 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. When filling fuel hopper, open lid on top of unit, check hopper for foreign objects, empty the

bag into the hopper, DO NOT OVER FILL, and ensure hopper lid closes completely. DO NOT use this

appliance as an incinerator. DO NOT use unsuitable and non recommended fuels, including liquid fuels.

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.

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
