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 inside of the hopper.

PELLET QUALITY:

Pellet quality is important, please read the following:

Your Enviro pellet stove has been designed to burn 1⁄4” (6mm) dia wood pellets only. DO NOT use this appliance as an incinerator. DO NOT use unsuitable and non recommended fuels, including liquid fuels 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. The Pellet Fuel Industries (P.F.I.) has established standards for wood pellet manufacturers. We recommend the use of pellets that meet or exceed these standards. Ask your dealer for a recommended pellet type.

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 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.

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.

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

WARNING: Parts of the appliance, especially the external surfaces, will be hot to touch when in operation so use due care.

FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS: Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire in the heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.
