Safety Precautions
FOR SAFE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF YOUR “ENVIRO” HEATER,
PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:
• All ENVIRO gas-fired appliances must be installed in
accordance with their instructions. Carefully read all the
instructions in this manual first. Consult the building
authority having jurisdiction to determine the need for a
permit prior to commencing the installation.
• NOTE:
Failure to follow these instructions could cause
a malfunction of the fireplace, which could result in death,
serious bodily injury, and/or property damage.
• Failure to follow these instructions may also void your
fire insurance and/or warranty.
GENERAL
• Installation and repair should be done by a qualified
service person. The appliance should be inspected before
the first use and, at least, annually by a qualified service
person. More frequent cleaning may be required due to
excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc. It
is imperative the control compartments, burners and
circulating air passageways of the appliance be kept
clean.
• Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be
located out of high traffic areas and away from furniture
and draperies.
Children and adults should be alerted to the
hazards of high surface temperatures and should
stay away to avoid burn or clothing ignition.
• Young children should be carefully supervised when in
the same room as the appliance. Toddlers, young children
and others may be susceptible to accidental contact
burns. A physical barrier is required if there are at risk
individuals in the house. To restrict access to a fireplace
or stove install an adjustable safety gate to keep toddlers,
young children and other at risk individuals out of the
room and away from hot surfaces. Any safety screen,
guard, or barrier removed for servicing an appliance must
be replaced prior to operating the appliance.
• Clothing or other flammable materials should not be
placed on or near the appliance.
• A barrier designed to reduce the risk of burns from the
hot veiwing glass is provided with this appliance and shall
be installed for the protection of children and other at-risk
individuals. If the barrier becomes damaged, the barrier
shall be replaced with the manufacturer’s barrier for this
appliance
FOR YOUR SAFETY
• Installation and service must be performed by a qualified
installer, service agency or gas supplier.

absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code,

To prevent injury, if the pilot or pilot and burners

light the stove.
• Always keep the area around these appliances clear of
combustible material, gasoline and other flammable liquids
and vapours.
• These appliances should not be used as a drying rack for
clothing or for hanging Christmas stockings/decorations.
• Due to the paint curing on the stove, a faint odor and slight
smoking will likely be noticed when the stove is first used.
Open a window until the smoking stops.
Always connect this gas stove to a vent system and vent to
the outside of the building envelope. Never vent to another
room or inside the building. Make sure the specified vent
pipe is used, properly sized and of adequate height to
provide sufficient draft. Inspect the venting system annually
for blockage and signs of deterioration.

with the diagrams in this booklet, or failure to use only
parts specifically approved with this appliance, may result in
property damage or personal injury.
