Operating Instructions
FIRST START
When first installed, the chimney, firebricks and steel are cold and it usually takes several hours on a
high burn for them to become hot and dry enough for the stove operate at maximum efficiency. We
recommend during the first burn that a door or window is opened to vent the smoke and fumes created
while the paint cures. The paint should be completely cured after the first few burns.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES:
If you let the ashes accumulate two or three inches on the floor of the Firebox they tend to burn
themselves up. Fireplace inserts do not have an ash drawer so eventually the ashes will need to be
scooped into a metal container with a tightly fitting lid. Place the closed container on a non-combustible
surface, 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 completely cooled. Small amounts of wood ash can be used in the garden or compost.
FAN OPERATION:
All insert models have been approved for operation with the fans supplied by the manufacturer. During a
medium or high burn, using a fan will increase the heat transfer and circulation. Route the power supply
cord along the floor behind or away from the stove where it will remain cool.
1. Plug the fan assembly into a standard three (3) prong grounded electrical receptacle.
2. There is a three position switch located on the fan pod. The auto/off/manual rocker switch allows the
fan to be turned on manually, or automatically. When this switch is up it is set to the manual position.
The center position is off. When the switch is pushed down it is set to the automatic position.
3. In the manual position the Rotary Rheostat knob is used to turn the fan on and off as well as adjust
the flow.
4. In the automatic position the fan will automatically turn on once the fan temperature sensor reaches
the operating temperature. When the unit cools down, the fan temperature sensor will shut the fan
off. You should set the desired flow while in the manual position.
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. 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 “
P
arts
L
ist
”
). To replace the glass, remove the steel retainer and all loose glass. Replace only with Neoceram
5 mm glass 16 ⅝” (422 mm) x 10 ⅝” (270 mm) and wrap the edges with ⅛” (3.2 mm) x ½” (13 mm)
self-adhesive fiberglass gasket, see parts list for part number.
Wear protective 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.
Replacement glass must be purchased from an ENVIRO dealer. No substitute
materials are allowed.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND SMOKE DETECTION:
All homes with a wood burning stove should have at least one fire extinguisher in a central location
known to all in the household. Smoke detectors and carbon monoxide 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 OR CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS FROM THE ROOM.
