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.
Do not use any makeshift materials during installation, maintenance, or replacement.
● Never place wood, paper, furniture, drapes or other combustible materials near the stove. Do not let
children or pets touch it when it is hot.
● Operate only with the door and ash pan tightly closed and burn wood directly on the stove floor. 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 inches 2 (77.4 cm 2 ) of fresh outside air should be admitted into the room or directly to the
stove through a 4 inches (10.16 cm) diameter pipe. It would be dangerous to operate the stove with
the combustion-air inlet closed.
● Do not burn coal or charcoal as there is danger of carbon monoxide being produced. Do not use
chemical fluids to start or re-fresh 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. 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 Standard for Space Heaters for Use with Solid Fuel, ULC-S628
Standard for Fireplace Inserts, & UL 1482 Standard for Safety for Solid-Fuel Type Room Heaters.
IMPORTANT: The following must be done to ensure proper operation. Failure to do so will cause
extreme overheating and possible personal injury or property damage:
• If an outside air supply has not been added to this appliance, please ensure that the 4” inch fresh air
outlet on the back of the pedestal is removed.
• Ensure that the ash dump grate and cover plate are installed over the ash dump hole.
