Safety Warnings & Recommendations
* This manual is designed for the technician in conjunction with the owner’s manual. *
Please read this entire Technical 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 shall be complied with
when operating this appliance.
Caution: Do not connect to any air distribution duct or system.
Warning: Never place wood, paper, furniture, drapes or other combustible materials within 48” (122cm)
of the front of the unit, 12” (30.5cm) from each side, and 4” (10cm) 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. 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 (or dial 911). 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.
OPERATION: The door and ash drawer must be kept closed when the unit is in operation 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. Unit hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing and
furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns.
CAUTION: When operating during adverse weather, if the unit exhibits dramatic changes in combustion
stop using the unit immediately.
FUEL: This stove is designed and approved to only burn wood pellets of any quality, corn, wheat, barley,
and grass. 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. Do not burn garbage or flammable fluids such as gasoline, naptha or engine oil.
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.
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.
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 surface, 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 thoroughly cooled.

Safety Warnings & Recommendations
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 (4.2 Amps), 60 hertz electrical
outlet and also must be accessible. If this power cord should become damaged, a replacement power cord
must be purchased from the manufacturer or 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 504 watts.
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.
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.
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.
INSTALLATION: Contact your local building or fire official to obtain a permit and any information on
installation restrictions and inspection requirements for your area.
Be sure to maintain the structural integrity of your home when passing a vent through walls, ceilings, or
roofs, and all construction meets local building codes. It is recommended that the unit be secured into its
position in order to avoid any displacement. This appliance must be installed on a floor with an adequate
load bearing capacity, if existing construction doesn’t meet load capacity, suitable measures (e.g. load
distributing plate) must be taken to achieve it.
DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
FRESH AIR: This unit uses large quantities of air for combustion; outside Fresh Air connection is strongly
recommended. Fresh Air must be connected to all units installed in Mobile and “Air Tight Homes” (R2000)
or where required by local codes.
Consider all large air moving devices when installing your unit and provide room air accordingly. NOTE:
Extractor fans when operating in the same room or space as the appliance may cause problems. Limited air
for combustion may result in poor performance, smoking and other side effects of poor combustion.
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 on the left side of the stove.
Soot or creosote may accumulate when the stove is operated under incorrect conditions such as an rich
burn (black tipped, lazy orange flames).
If you have any questions with regards to your stove or the above-mentioned information, please feel free
to contact your local dealer for further clarification and comments.

hot enough to cause burns if touched by children. Non-combustible shielding or guards may be required.
3. Termination must exhaust above the inlet elevation. It is recommended that at least five feet of vertical pipe be
installed outside when the appliance is vented directly through a wall, to create some natural draft to prevent the
possibility of smoke or odor during appliance shut down or power failure. This will keep exhaust from causing a
nuisance or hazard from exposing people or shrubs to high temperatures. In any case, the safest and preferred
venting method is to extend the vent through the roof vertically.
4. Distance from the bottom of the termination and grade is 12” (30 cm) minimum. This is conditional upon the
plants and nature of grade surface. The exhaust gases are hot enough to ignite grass, plants and shrubs located
in the vicinity of termination. The grade surface must not be lawn.
5. If the unit is incorrectly vented or the air to fuel mixture is out of balance, a slight discoloration of the exterior
of the house might occur. Since these factors are beyond the control of Sherwood Industries Ltd, we grant no
guarantee against such incidents.
NOTE: Venting terminals shall not be recessed into walls or siding.

Installation
outSide FreSh-air connection:
This Heater must have adequate air for proper combustion in the room that it is installed.
A Fresh-air intake is strongly recommended for all installations. Failure to install intake air may
result in improper combustion as well as the unit smoking
during power failures.
The inlet to the intake must be below and a minimum of 12”
(30cm) away from the unit exhaust outlet.
Outside fresh air is mandatory when installing this
unit in airtight homes and mobile homes.
When connecting to an outside fresh air source, do not use
plastic or combustible pipe. A 3” minimum (76 mm) ID (inside
