Operating Instructions
FIRST START
When first installed, the chimney, firebricks and steel are cold and it usually takes several hours on a fairly
high burn for them to become hot and dry enough for the stove to function well. We recommend during
the unit’s first burn that a door and window are opened to vent the smoke and fumes created from the
unit’s paint curing. The paint will smell a little for the first burn or two as it cures.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES:
If you let the ashes accumulate two or three inches on the floor they tend to burn themselves up.
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should
be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending
final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally disposed, they should be
retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Other waste shall not be placed
in this container.
FAN OPERATION:
All models have been approved for operation with the fans supplied by the manufacturer. On medium or
high burns, using a fan will increase the heat transfer slightly. Route the electrical cord along the floor in
front of the surround panel. There are cutouts in the castings to tuck the cord under.
1. Plug the fan assembly into a standard three (3) prong grounded electrical receptacle.
2. The fan is controlled by a rotary dial located at the lower left side of the unit. The dial rotation is as
follows: OFF>HIGH>LOW
3. If the dial is in any position in the high to low range, the fan will automatically turn on once the
stove has reached operating temperature (roughly 25 mins from a cold start). When the unit cools
down, the fan temperature sensor will shut the fan off automatically. The fan can also be turned off
manually at any time by rotating the dial to the off 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 and 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

”
). To replace the glass, remove the steel retaining clips and all loose glass. Replace only with
Neoceram 5 mm glass 16.61” (422 mm) x 10.63” (270 mm) and wrap the edges with 0.125” (3.2 mm) x
0.5” (13 mm) self-adhesive fiberglass gasket.
Wear 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.
The glass must be purchased from an ENVIRO dealer. No substitute materials are allowed.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND SMOKE DETECTION:
All homes with a solid fuel burning stove should have at least one fire extinguisher in a central location
known to all in the household and a smoke detection device 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
device within the room; DO NOT REMOVE THE SMOKE DETECTOR FROM THE ROOM.
