SHERWOOD INDUSTRIES IS AN ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE COMPANY. THIS MANUAL IS PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER. PLEASE KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE PELLET STOVE Freestanding, Fireplace Insert, and Built-In Heater OWNER’S MANUAL Contact your building or fire officials about restrictions and installation inspection requirements in your area.
UALITY Pellet quality is important, please read the following: Your enviro pellet stove has been designed to burn wood pellets only. Do not use any other type of fuel, as this will void any warranties stated in this manual. The performance of your pellet stove is greatly affected by the type and quality of wood pellets being burned.
To prevent the possibility of a fire, ensure that the appliance is properly installed by adhering to the installation instructions. An ENVIRO dealer will be happy to assist you in obtaining information with regards to your local building codes and installation restrictions.
GLASS: Do not abuse the glass by striking or slamming the door. Do not attempt to operate the stove with broken glass. The stove uses ceramic glass. Replacement glass must be purchased from an ENVIRO dealer. Do not attempt to open the door and clean the glass while the unit is in operation or if glass is hot.
Operating Instructions UTOMATIC AFETY EATURES Your pellet Stove has the following safety features: A. The stove will shut off when the fire goes out and the exhaust temperature drops below 120°F (49°C). B. The stove has a high temperature safety switch. If the temperature on the hopper reaches 200°F (93°C), the auger will automatically stop and the stove will shut down when the exhaust temperature cools.
Operating Instructions TOVE ONTROLS IRCUIT 1. AUGER TRIM: The Auger Trim Button is used to increase or decrease the feed rate on LOW, ONLY. Push the Auger Trim button until the number 1 and 5 lights appear on the Heat Level Indicator. This will increase the feed rate to 4 seconds ON time Auger pulse.
Operating Instructions PERATING ELLET TOVE PRE-BURN INSTRUCTIONS: The burn pot liner holes must be clear and the liner installed properly against the ignitor tube for proper operation. Check the hopper for enough pellets to start the unit. DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT WITH THE DOOR OR ASH PAN AJAR MANUAL MODE: TO START: Press the ON / OFF button.
Operating Instructions PERATING ELLET TOVE 1. Check and fill hopper with pellets. 2. Make sure unit is plugged into a working outlet. 3. Switch the power “ON” by pushing the start-up switch once only. 4. Turn knob “B” to the 12 o’clock position. (Lower grade pellets may need a higher setting on the feed rate).
ASH PAN AND DOOR GASKETS (weekly) After extended use the gasket may come loose. To repair or replace this, glue the gasket on, using high- temperature fiberglass gasket glue available from your local ENVIRO dealer. This is important to maintain an airtight assembly.

NSTALLATION OF ONTROL When installing the control panel into the surround panel, the surround does not need to be assembled. The control board will be found in behind the firebox.
NSTALLATION AND EMOVAL OF Two (2) pieces make up one (1) corner bracket 1. Assemble the trim set using the corner hardware and screws supplied in the surround panel packaging. Install corner hardware into the side trim pieces, then push them into the top trim. Do not over-tighten the corners or the side trim cannot be removed during servicing.
REMOVAL: When maintenance is required on the unit the surround must be removed. Follow steps 3 through 6 in reverse order. The side panel can remain attached because they swing forward for easy access (refer to Figure 37). LIDER AMPER NSTALLATION This is used to regulate the airflow through the pellet stove.
Troubleshooting This troubleshooting is for both Timer Control and Circuit Board style EF3. It will be stated if the troubleshooting relates only to one model. DO NOT: ● Hold the ON / OFF BUTTON down for circuit board model or hold the start-up switch down for timer control.
Page 30
Caution: Installation of a new start-up timer without checking the ignitor resistance may cause another failure to the new start-up timer due to a short in the ignitor. The proper resistance through the ignitor should be 30Ω to 50Ω ± 3Ω. 2.

Troubleshooting ● Check all the connections between the controller, switch, and the convection blower against the wiring diagram. ● If the convection motor will not run, apply 115 V AC to the motor directly. If the motor runs, replace the fan controller. If the motor does not run, the convection blower has failed. Replace the blower. ●...

Troubleshooting 10. The stove will not shut off. General: ● If the unit will not shut off, ensure that the thermostat (if equipped) is turned down below the room temperature (thermostat mode in the ON / OFF position). ● Disconnect one of the brown wires from the exhaust temperature sensor. If the unit continues to operate, contact your local dealer for service.
If the stove goes out and there are no pellets in the liner, the auger is stopping. General: ● See “The auger motor will not function normally” and “The exhaust blower will not function normally.” 12. Light # 2 on Heat output bar flashing (Circuit Board Only).
