Operating Instructions

FIRST START

When first installed, the chimney, firebricks and steel are cold and it usually takes several hours on a fairly high burn for them to become hot and dry enough for the stove to function well. We recommend during the unit’s first burn that a door and window are opened to vent the smoke and fumes created from the unit’s paint curing. The paint will smell a little for the first burn or two as it cures.

FANS:

All models have been approved for operation with or without the optional fans supplied by the manufacturer. On medium or high burns, using a fan will increase the heat transfer slightly. Route the power supply cord along the floor behind the stove where it will remain cool.

DISPOSAL OF ASHES:

If you let the ashes accumulate two or three inches on the floor they tend to burn themselves up. Open the small trap door located on the floor of the unit. Push the ashes that have accumulated into the hole were the ashes would drop into the ash pan. Ensure that the trap door is closed properly before relighting the unit. When necessary, put the ashes in a metal container with a tightly fitting lid. Place the closed container on a non-combustible floor, 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 cooled. If your model has an ash pan, be sure to latch the ash pan tightly when finished. Small amounts of cold wood ash can be used in the garden or compost.

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 fire is burning, do not open the door until the fire is out and 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 remove the door, open and lift. To replace the glass, remove the steel retaining clips and all loose glass. Replace only with Neoceram 5 mm glass 16.61” (422 mm) x 10.63” (270 mm) and wrap the edges with 0.125” (3.2 mm) x 0.5” (13 mm) self-adhesive fiberglass gasket.

Wear 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.

The glass must be purchased from an ENVIRO dealer. No substitute materials are allowed.

CLEANING THE PLATED SURFACES:

Painted faces should be wiped with a damp cloth periodically. If a plated door has been purchased, it should be unpacked carefully to avoid getting anything on the surface of the finish, including cleaners, polish and finger prints. It is important to note that fingerprints and other marks can leave a permanent stain on plated finishes. To avoid this, give the face a quick wipe with denatured alcohol on a soft cloth BEFORE lighting the fireplace. Never clean the door when it is hot. Do not use other cleaners as they may leave a residue, which can become permanently etched into the surface.

FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND SMOKE DETECTION:

All homes with a solid fuel burning stove should have at least one fire 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.
