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 European Standards shall be
complied with when operating this appliance.
Caution: Do not connect to any air distribution duct or system.
IMPORTANT: The heated water from this unit is not for human consumption, but for heating potable
water through heat exchange only.
Warning: Never place wood, paper, furniture, drapes or other combustible materials within 80cm (31½”) of the
front of the unit, 20cm (7⅞”) from each side, and 10cm (4”) 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. 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.
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION: Turn the water heater feed OFF. Push the ON/OFF button located on the
control panel. Have the water heater inspected and serviced by a qualified service technician.
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. Do not operate at water pressure below 0.5 bar.
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. Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, or similar liquids to start
the fire. Keep all such liquids well away from the pellet stove while it is in use.
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: “

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. Have your unit and venting checked/cleaned/serviced annually by a
qualified service technician to prevent excess build-up of dangerous creosote deposits as well as to ensure proper
operation and efficiency of this appliance.
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean the surface or any part of the stove.
