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.
The fireplace insert models do not have and ash drawer so the ashes will need to be scooped into a metal
container with a tightly fitting lid. Place the closed container on a non-combustible floor, 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 cooled. Small amounts of cold wood ash can be used in the garden or compost.
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 power supply cord along the
floor behind the stove where it will remain cool.
1. Plug the fan assembly into a standard three (3) prong grounded electrical receptacle.
2. An auto/off/manual rocker switch allows the fan to be turned on manually, or automatically. When this
switch is up, it will be set to manual operation; the center position is off, and when pushed down, it
will be set to automatic.
3. In automatic mode set the rotary switch to the desired setting, once operating temperature is reached,
the fan temperature sensor will turn the fan on. When the unit cools down, the fan temperature
sensor will shut the fan off automatically.
4. In manual mode the fan can be turned on and off any time using the rotary switch.
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

). 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 devise 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.
