Safety Precautions
FOR SAFE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF YOUR “ENVIRO” WOOD
STOVE, PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:
●
Please read this entire manual before you install and use your new woodstove. Failure to
follow instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury or even death. Be aware
that local Codes and Regulations may override some items in this manual. Check with your
local inspector.
● If this appliance is not properly installed, operated and maintained, a serious house fire could result.
Makeshift materials during installation could also result in a serious house fire.
● HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING, AND FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY
CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
● Operate only with the door and ash plug tightly closed and burn wood directly on the stove hearth. Do
not operate if the door glass is broken or a gasket is missing or damaged. Do not alter the combustion
air control valves. Dangerous overfiring could occur which could ignite creosote in the chimney or
cause a house fire.
● At least 12 square inches (77.4 cm
2
) of fresh outside air should be admitted into the room or directly
to the stove through a 4 inch (10.16 cm) diameter pipe. For the stove to operate combustion-air must
be supplied through either the bottom or the back of the unit.
● Do not burn coal or charcoal as there is danger of carbon monoxide being produced. DO NOT USE
CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START THE FIRE. DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH
AS GASOLINE, GREASE, NAPHTHA OR ENGINE OIL. Never let the stove become hot enough to get any
part red or glowing red.
● Burning wet, unseasoned wood could cause excessive creosote accumulation in the flue pipe. When
ignited, it could cause a chimney fire that could result in a serious house fire.
● Do not use grates, andirons or any other methods to support or raise the fire up off the hearth of the
appliance.
● This appliance is tested to ULC-S627-00 Standard for Space Heaters for Use with Solid Fuel & UL 1482

● A chimney connector shall not pass through an attic or roof space, closet or similar concealed space,
or a floor, or ceiling.
● Where passage through a wall, or partition of combustible construction is desired, the installation shall
conform to CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and Equipment.

SPECIFICALLY APPROVED FOR SUCH INSTALLATIONS.
