Safety Warnings & Recommendations

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 been thoroughly cooled.

IMPORTANT: The door and ash drawer cover must be kept closed except during ignition, refueling and removal of residue material to prevent fume spillage.

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.

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 220-240 volts (2.0-2.3 Amps), 50 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 525 watts.

OPERATION: The door and ash drawer cover must be kept closed securely 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.

CAUTION: When operating during adverse weather, if the unit exhibits dramatic changes in combustion stop using the unit immediately.

INSTALLATION: Contact your local building or fire official to obtain a permit and any information on installation restrictions and inspection requirements for your area. All local regulations, including those referring to national and European Standards need to be complied with when installing this appliance.

Be sure to maintain the structural integrity of your home when passing a vent through walls, ceilings, or roofs. 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 an existing construction doesn’t meet these prerequisite, suitable measures (e.g. load distributing plate) shall 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.
