Introduction

* This manual is designed for the home owner in conjunction with the technical manual. *

RATING LABEL LOCATION:

The rating label is located on the hopper top behind the surround panel.

PELLET QUALITY:

Pellet quality is important, please read the following:

Your enviro pellet stove has been designed to burn wood pellets only. Do not use any other
type of fuel, as this will void any warranties stated in this manual.

The performance of your pellet stove is greatly affected by the type and quality of wood
pellets being burned. As the heat output of various quality wood pellets differs, so will the
performance and heat output of the pellet stove.

CAUTION: It is important to select and use only pellets that are dry and free of dirt or any impurities

such as high salt content. Dirty fuel will adversely affect the operation and performance of the unit and
will void the warranty.

ASH: The ash content of the fuel and operation of your stove will directly determine the frequency of
cleaning. The use of high ash fuels may result in the stove needing to be cleaned daily. A low ash fuel
may allow longer intervals between cleaning.

CLINKERING: [clinkers are silica (sand) or other impurities in the fuel that will form a hard mass during
the burning process]. This hard mass will block the air flow through the Burn Pot Liner and affect the
performance of the stove. Any fuel, even approved types, may tend to clinker. Check the Burn-Pot Liner
daily to ensure that the holes are not blocked with clinkers. If they become blocked, remove the liner
(when the unit is cold) and clean/scrape the clinkers out. Clean the holes with a small pointed object if
required. Refer to the section Routine Cleaning and Maintenance.

PELLET FEED RATES: Due to different fuel densities and sizes, pellet feed rates may vary. This may
require an adjustment to the slider damper setting or to the auger feed trim setting on Low.

Since Sherwood Industries Ltd. has no control over the quality of pellets that you use, we assume no
liability for your choice in wood pellets.

Store pellets at least 36” (1 m) away from the pellet stove.

AUTOMATIC SAFETY FEATURES:

Your pellet Stove has the following safety features:

A) The stove will shut off when the fire goes out and the exhaust temperature drops below 120 °F

(49°C).

B) The stove has a high temperature safety switch. If the temperature on the hopper reaches 200 °F

(93 °C) the auger will automatically stop and you will get a #2 ash code, and the stove will shut off
when the exhaust temperature cools. If this happens call your local dealer to reset the 200 °F (93 °C)
high limit switch. FIND THE REASONS WHY THE UNIT OVERHEATED.

C) The unit is equipped with a vacuum switch to monitor the venting and the build up of ash in the burn

pot; if either becomes blocked the vacuum switch will turn off the auger and the stove will shut off.

Introduction

IMPORTANT SAFETY DATA:

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. 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 locked 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 in the front of the unit under the ash pan.

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 feel free
to contact your local dealer for further clarification and comments.

SAFETY WARNINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:

Caution: Do not connect to any air distribution duct 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 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.

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: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - SLIDER / DAMPER

SETTING.

CLEANING: There will be some build up of fly ash and small amounts of soot 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.
