Operating Instructions
FIRST START
When • rst installed, the chimney, • rebricks and steel are cold and it usually takes several hours on a
high burn for them to become hot and dry enough for the stove operate at maximum ef• ciency. We
recommend during the • rst burn that a door or window is opened to vent the smoke and fumes created
while the paint cures. The paint should be completely cured after the • rst few burns.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES:
If you let the ashes accumulate two or three inches on the fl oor of the Firebox they tend to burn
themselves up. Fireplace inserts do not have an ash drawer so eventually the ashes will need to be
scooped into a metal container with a tightly fi tting lid. Place the closed container on a non-combustible
surface, well away from combustible materials.
If the ashes are to be buried in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, keep them in a closed container until
all cinders have completely cooled. Small amounts of wood ash can be used in the garden or compost.
FAN OPERATION:
All insert models have been approved for operation with the fans supplied by the manufacturer. During a
medium or high burn, using a fan will increase the heat transfer and circulation. Route the power supply
cord along the fl oor behind or away from the stove where it will remain cool.
1. Plug the fan assembly into a standard three (3) prong grounded electrical receptacle.
2. There is a three position switch located on the fan pod. The auto/off/manual rocker switch allows the
fan to be turned on manually, or automatically. When this switch is up it is set to the manual position.
The center position is off. When the switch is pushed down it is set to the automatic position.
3. In the manual position the Rotary Rheostat knob is used to turn the fan on and off as well as adjust
the fl ow.
4. In the automatic position the fan will automatically turn on once the fan temperature sensor reaches
the operating temperature. When the unit cools down, the fan temperature sensor will shut the fan
off. You should set the desired fl ow while in the manual position.
REPLACING THE GLASS:
Never strike or slam the door, hit the glass or let burning wood rest against it. If the glass cracks when
the fi re is burning, do not open the door until the fi re is out. Do not operate the stove again until the
glass has been replaced. If the glass is damaged in any way, a factory replacement is required (see “PARTS
LIST”). To replace the glass, remove the steel retainer and all loose glass. Replace only with Neoceram
mm glass 16 ⅝” (422 mm) x 10 ⅝” (270 mm) and wrap the edges with ⅛” (3.2 mm) x ½” (13 mm)

self-adhesive fi berglass gasket, see parts list for part number.
Wear protective gloves when handling damaged glass door assembly to prevent personal injury. When
the glass door assembly is being transported, it must be wrapped in newsprint and tape and/or a strong
plastic bag. Replacement glass must be purchased from an ENVIRO dealer. No substitute
materials are allowed.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND SMOKE DETECTION:
All homes with a solid fuel burning stove should have at least one fi re extinguisher in a central location
known to all in the household and a smoke detection devise in the room containing the stove. 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.

Operating Instructions
CREOSOTE - ITS FORMATION AND REMOVAL:
When wood is burned slowly, it may produce tar and other vapors that, combined with moisture, form
creosote. These creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney • ue of a slow burning • re and, if
ignited, make an extremely hot • re. Therefore, the smoke pipe and chimney should be inspected at least
once every two months during the burning season. If creosote has accumulated it should be removed to
reduce the risk of a chimney • re.
MAINTENANCE:
At the end of each heating season your chimney and the smoke pipe will need to be professionally
cleaned. If soot has accumulated above the top baf• e they will need to be removed and cleaned. If
Baf• es are damaged they need to be replaced. If the secondary air tubes are badly eroded or warped,
replace them. Replace worn door gaskets and broken bricks as needed.
FAILURE TO INSPECT AND CLEAN YOUR CHIMNEY SYSTEM REGULARLY CAN RESULT IN A
CHIMNEY FIRE, WHICH COULD DAMAGE THE CHIMNEY OR CAUSE A HOUSE FIRE.
CHIMNEY OR RUN AWAY FIRE:
1. Alert and evacuate all people inside the home. You should an evacuation plan in place for such an
event as well as a safe place to meet.
2. Fully close the Air Damper to limit oxygen to the • re.
3. Call local • re department (or dial 911). Have a • re extinguisher and a garden hose ready, your local
• re authority will provide you with instructions to handle the situation.
4. Once the • re is out examine the • ue pipes, chimney, attic, and roof of the house, to see if any part
has become damaged by the • re.
4. Do not operate the stove again until the chimney and its lining have been cleaned and you are certain
they have not been damaged. We strongly recommend inspection by a WETT (Wood Energy Technical
Training) certi• ed installer in Canada or a HEARTH (Hearth Education Foundation) certi• ed installer in
the U.S.A. before starting another • re.
BUILDING YOUR FIRE:
Proper operation of your stove will help to ensure safe, ef• cient heating. Please take a few moments to
review these simple operating procedures.
IMPORTANT: Please be aware when loading your stove that the air tubes in the rear are lower than
the front.
1. Fuel Selection:
This stove is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher ef• ciencies and lower emissions generally
result when burning air dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or to green freshly cut
hardwoods. Wood should be properly air dried (seasoned) for at least six months, a year is preferred.
Wet or freshly cut wood will cause the • re to smolder creating creosote. Wet wood also creates very little
heat and • res tend to go out.
DO NOT BURN: treated wood, salt water wood, coal, charcoal, garbage, plastic, solvents, or colored
papers. These material contain chlorides which will rapidly corrode and warp metal surfaces which voids
warranty.

Operating Instructions
2. Building/Maintaining a Fire:
a) Open the primary air slide by pulling it all the way to the right.
b) Place a base of crumpled uncolored paper in the bottom of the stove. Lay pieces of kindling on top of
the newspaper and light it.
CAUTION: “Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter ! uid,
or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a " re in this heater. Keep all such liquids well
away from heater while it is in use.
c) As the kindling begins to burn, add several slightly larger pieces of wood until the ! re is burning well.
Once a coal bed had been established regular size logs may be added.
NOTE: Until the ! re is burning well, leave the air control fully open.
d) Regulate the heat output and duration of burn by adjusting the air controls to allow a larger ! re and
vice versa. A short period of experimentation with the control settings will allow you to regulate the
heat output to keep your home comfortable.
Do not use a grate or elevate the " re. Build " re on top the bricks inside the " rebox.
3. Refueling the Stove:
Use a long pair of ! reproof gloves to protect your arms from burns when loading wood. Keep a small
steel shovel and poker nearby for moving a log, lifting a fallen ember, and for keeping the hearth clean.
a) Before attempting to add fuel to the stove fully open the damper by pulling it all the way to the right
and slowly open the door. This allows the chimney to carry away the additional smoke and keep it from
entering the house.
b) DO NOT OVERLOAD THE STOVE. Normally, three or four logs will provide heat for several hours.
There should never be any part of the stove glowing red hot when operating properly.
c) DO NOT OVERFIRE. If any part of the stove or chimney connector glows, you are over! ring.
ww) CAUTION: DO NOT PLACE FUEL WITHIN SPACE HEATER INSTALLATION CLEARANCES OR WITHIN
THE SPACE REQUIRED FOR ASH REMOVAL.
4. For Maximum Ef" ciency:
When the stove is hot, load it fully to the top of the door opening and burn at medium low settings. When
the fuel is mostly consumed, leaving a bed of red coals, repeat the process. Maximum heat for minimum
fuel occurs when the stove top temperature is between 250°F (120°C) and 550°F (290°C).
Helpful Hints Worth Repeating
1. Helpful advice on the correct way to start your " re.
a) You will need small pieces of dry wood, called kindling, and paper. Use only newspaper or paper
that has not been coated or had other materials glued or applied to it. Never use coated (typically
advertising " yers) or coloured paper.
b) Always fully open the air control damper and slowly open wood stove door to prevent suction and
drawing smoke into the room.
c) Crumple several pieces of paper and place them in the center of the ! rebox directly onto the ! rebricks.
Never use a grate or andirons to elevate the ! re.
6
Operating Instructions
d) Place small pieces of dry wood (kindling) over the paper in a criss cross manner. This allows for good
air circulation, which is critical for good combustion.
e) Light the crumpled paper in 2 or 3 locations.
Note: It is important to heat the air in the stovepipe for draft to start.
f) Fully open the air controls of the wood stove and close the door until it is slightly open, allowing for
much needed combustion air to be introduced into the ! rebox. Never leave the door fully open, as
sparks from the kindling may " y out of the stove, causing damage or injury. As the ! re begins to burn
the kindling, some additional kindling may be needed to sustain the ! re. DO NOT add more paper after
the ! re has started.
g) Once the kindling has started to burn, add some smaller pieces of seasoned ! rewood. Note: Adding
large pieces at the early stages will only serve to smother the ! re. Continue adding small pieces of
seasoned dry ! rewood, keeping the door slightly open until each piece starts to ignite. Remember to
always open the door slowly when placing wood into the ! re.
h) Once the wood has started to ignite and the smoke has reduced, close the wood stove door fully. The
reduction of smoke is a good indication that the draft in the chimney has started and good combustion
is now possible. Larger pieces of seasoned, dry ! rewood can now be added when there is suf! cient
space in the ! rebox. Adjust the air control setting to desired setting.
Note: The lower the air control setting, the longer the burn time of your fi rewood.
2. What type of wood is best to use as fi rewood?
Both hardwood and softwood burn well in this stove. Both woods contain about 8,000 BTU/lb (18,570
KJ/Kg), but hardwood is generally more dense, will weigh more per cord, and burns a little slower and
longer. Cutting ! rewood so that it will ! t horizontally, front to back, makes it easier loading and less likely
for the fuel to roll on to the glass. Except for a cold start, there is no need to crisis-cross the logs. Ideal
length for the logs used in the 1200 would be about 16“ (381 mm) but it can burn pieces up to 18” long.
Ideal length for the logs used in the 1700 would be about 18“ (381 mm) but it can burn pieces up to 20”
long logs. Burn only seasoned wood, It produces more heat and less soot or creosote. Freshly cut wood
has about 50% moisture. A 10 pound (4.5 Kg) log contains 5 pounds (2.3 Kg) of water. Burn beach wood
only if its salt content has been washed away in a season of rain and then the dried again.
3. What does dry, seasoned wood mean?
Wood that has been dried for a period of one year in a well-ventilated and sheltered area would be
considered dry, seasoned wood. Wood from slow-growing trees is generally considered better than wood
from fast-growing trees. To season ! rewood, split and stack it so that air can get to all parts of the
wood.
4. Will following the above-listed steps for starting a fi re mean perfect results every time?
The quick answer is ‘most of the time’. There are many variables that may affect your success when
starting a ! re. Most of those variables and how to deal with them will be learned through experience.
Your ability to start a good ! re will signi! cantly increase with time and patience. Some of the reasons for
poor stove performance will be covered in the next section of these instructions.
5. Why won’t my fi re light?
Damp or wet wood and a poor draft are the main reasons for poor results in starting a ! re. Always use
dry, seasoned wood for your ! re. Even wood dried for two years will be dif! cult to ignite if it has become
wet from rain.

Operating Instructions
6. Is it normal for soot to cover the glass at the beginning of a • re?
Your stove has been built with an air-wash system that will help keep the glass clear when the ! rebox
has reached a good operating temperature and has a good draft. Normally a hot stove will keep the glass
clean. If you must clean the glass, use a soft non abrasive cloth and clean with water when unit is cold.
Cold ! rebox temperature and poor draft cause sooting of the glass. Once the ! rebox temperature and
the draft increase, the soot should burn off.
7. What is draft?
Draft is the ability of the chimney to exhaust or draw smoke produced during the normal combustion
process. Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the appliance and may damage the
appliance. Inadequate draft may cause back puf! ng or “plugging” of the chimney. There is a certain
amount of draft that is required to allow for your stove to function at its’ highest ef! ciency. A water
column reading of 0.1” or more is recommended.
8. What can cause a poor draft?
The most common factors for poor draft are:
a) Lack of supply air
b) Environmental conditions
c) Cold chimney temperature
d) Poor chimney installation and maintenance
e) Atmospheric pressure
a) Air supply – Inside the home, normal household appliances such as clothes dryers and forced-air
furnaces compete for air, resulting in air starvation to the wood stove. This creates a condition in the
house known as negative pressure. When a house experiences negative pressure, the combustion
gases can be drawn from the chimney and into the house. This condition is commonly referred to as
down-drafting. Increased amounts of insulation, vinyl windows, extra caulking in various places and
door seals can all keep heat in but may also make a home too airtight. An easy way to stop negative
pressure in a home is to crack a window in the room containing the stove.
b) Environmental Conditions - High trees, low-lying house location such as in a valley, tall buildings or
structures surrounding your house and windy conditions can cause poor draft or down drafting.
c) Cold Chimney Temperature - Avoid cold chimney temperatures by burning a hot ! re for the ! rst ! fteen
to forty minutes, being careful not to over-! re the stove. If any part of the chimney or parts of the
stove start to glow, you are over-! ring the stove. If possible,
d) Chimney Installation and Maintenance - Avoid using too many elbows or long horizontal runs. If your
chimney is too short it can cause dif! cult start-up, dirty glass, reduced heat, and down drafting when
door is open. Too tall a chimney may prompt excessive draft, which can result in very short burn times
and excessive heat output. If in doubt, contact a chimney expert and/or chimney manufacturer for
help. To reduce the chance of draw issues and chimney ! res regularly clean the chimney, rain cap,
and spark arrestor.
Note: These instructions are intended as an aid and do not supercede any local, provincial or state
requirements. Check with of! cials or authorities having jurisdiction in your area.
