PELLET QUALITY IS IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PAGE Your pellet stove has been designed to burn wood pellets only. Since there are many manufacturers of wood pellets it is important to select pellets that are free of dirt or any impurities. The Pellet Fuel Industries (P.F.I.) has established standards for wood pellet manufactures.
IMPORTANT SAFETY DATA To prevent the possibility of a fire, ensure that the appliance is properly installed by adhering to the installation instructions. An ENVIROFIRE dealer will be happy to assist you in obtaining information with regards to your local building codes and installation restrictions. The stove’s exhaust system works with negative combustion chamber pressure and a slightly positive chimney pressure, it is very important to ensure that the exhaust system be sealed and airtight.
WARNINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Do not abuse the glass by striking or slamming the door shut. Do not attempt to operate the stove with broken glass. Do not attempt to open the door and clean the glass while the unit is in operation. To clean the glass, use a soft cotton cloth and mild window cleaner, gas or wood stove glass cleaner or take a damp paper towel and dip into the fly ash, this is a very mild abrasive and will not damage the glass.
DECIDING WHERE TO LOCATE YOUR PELLET APPLIANCE Check clearances to combustibles. Do not obtain combustion air from an attic, garage or any unventilated space. Combustion air may be obtained from a ventilated crawlspace. Do not install the stove in a bedroom. You can vent the stove through an exterior wall behind the unit or connect it to an existing masonry or metal chimney (must be lined if the chimney is over 6”...
REMOVING YOUR NEW STOVE FROM THE PALLET To remove your new stove from its pallet, open the left and right side panels. There are two wood screws that are holding the bottom of the stove to the pallet. Remove the screws. Close the side panels. To remove the right and left hand cabinet sides there are three T-20 Torx screws on the back of the panel, loosen these screws only.
VENT TERMINATION REQUIREMENTS 1. Do not terminate the vent in any enclosed or semi-enclosed areas such as a carport, garage, attic, crawlspace, narrow walkway, closely fenced area, under a sundeck or porch, or any location that can build up a concentration of fumes such as stairwells, covered breezeway, etc. 2.
