Introduction
* This manual is designed for the home owner in conjunction with the technical manual.*
RATINGLABELLOCATION:
The rating label is located on the inside of the hopper.
PELLETQUALITY:
Pellet quality is important, please read the following:
Your Enviro pellet stove has been designed to burn 1⁄4” (6mm) dia wood pellets only. DO NOT use this appliance as an incinerator. DO NOT use unsuitable and non recommended fuels, including liquid fuels 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. As the heat output of various quality wood pellets differs, so will the performance and heat output of the pellet stove.
CAUTION: It is important to select and use only pellets that are dry and free of dirt or any impurities such as high salt content. Dirty fuel will adversely affect the operation and performance of the unit and will void the warranty. The Pellet Fuel Industries (P.F.I.) has established standards for wood pellet manufacturers. We recommend the use of pellets that meet or exceed these standards. Ask your dealer for a recommended pellet type.
ASH: The ash content of the fuel and operation of your stove will directly determine the frequency of cleaning. The use of high ash fuels may result in the stove needing to be cleaned daily. A low ash fuel may allow longer intervals between cleaning.
CLINKERING: [clinkers are silica (sand) or other impurities in the fuel that will form a hard mass during the burning process]. This hard mass will block the air flow through the Burn Pot Liner and affect the performance of the stove. Any fuel, even approved types, may clinker. Check the
PELLET FEED RATES: Due to different fuel densities and sizes, pellet feed rates may vary. This may require an adjustment to the slider damper setting or to the auger feed trim setting on low.
Since Sherwood Industries Ltd. has no control over the quality of pellets that you use, we assume no liability for your choice in wood pellets.
FILLING FUEL HOPPER: Open lid on top of unit, check hopper for foreign objects, empty the bag into the hopper,DO NOT OVER FILL, and ensure hopper lid closes completely.
Store pellets at least 36” (1 m) away from the pellet stove.
WARNING: Parts of the appliance, especially the external surfaces, will be hot to touch when in operation so use due care and the fire gloves provided.
FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS: Never use gasoline,
Safety Warnings & Recommendations
Please read this entire Owner’s Manual before installing or operating your Enviro Pellet Stove. Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury or even death. Any unauthorized modification of the appliance or use of replacement parts not recommended by the manufacturer is prohibited. All national and local regulations and shall be complied with when operating this appliance.
Caution: Do not connect to any air distribution duct or system.
Warning: Never place wood, paper, furniture, drapes or other combustible materials within 80cm (311⁄2”) of the front of the unit, 20cm (77⁄8”) from each side, and 10cm (4”) from the back of the unit. Do not let children or pets touch it when it is hot.
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.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND SMOKE DETECTION: All homes with a pellet burning stove should have at least one fire extinguisher in a central location known to all in the household. Smoke detectors should be installed and maintained 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.
CHIMNEY OR RUN AWAY FIRE: Call local fire department (or dial 911). Close the draft fully. Extinguish the fire in the burn pot liner with a cup of water and close the door. Examine the flue pipes, chimney, attic, and roof of the house, to see if any part has become hot enough to catch fire. If necessary, spray with fire extinguisher or water from the garden hose. IMPORTANT: Do not operate the stove again until you are certain the chimney and its lining have not been damaged.
OPERATION: The door and ash drawer must be kept closed when the unit is in operation to prevent fume spillage and for proper and safe operation of the pellet stove. Also ensure all gaskets on the door are checked and replaced when necessary.Unit hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns.
CAUTION: When operating during adverse weather, if the unit exhibits dramatic changes in combustion stop using the unit immediately.
FUEL: This pellet stove is designed and approved to only burn wood pellet fuel with up to 3% ash content. Dirty fuel will adversely affect the operation and performance of the unit and may void the warranty. Check with your dealer for fuel recommendations.THE USE OF CORDWOOD IS PROHIBITED BY LAW. Do not burn garbage or flammable fluids such as gasoline, naptha or engine oil.
SOOT: Operation of the stove with insufficient combustion air will result in the formation of soot which will collect on the glass, the heat exchanger, the exhaust vent system, and may stain the outside of the house. This is a dangerous situation and is inefficient. Frequently check your stove and adjust the slider/damper as needed to ensure proper combustion.See: “SLIDER/DAMPER SETTING”.
CLEANING: There will be some build up of fly ash and small amounts of creosote in the exhaust. This will vary due to the ash content of the fuel used and the operation of the stove. It is advisable to inspect and clean the exhaust vent
The appliance, flue gas connector and the chimney flue require regular cleaning. Check them for blockage prior to
ASHES: Disposed ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be on a
Safety Warnings & Recommendations
ELECTRICAL: The use of a surge protected power bar is recommended. The unit must be grounded. The grounded electrical cord should be connected to a standard
When installing the stove in a mobile home, it must be electrically grounded to the steel chassis of the home and bolted to the floor.
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. 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.
KEEP ASH PAN FREE OF RAW FUEL. DO NOT PLACE UNBURNED OR NEW PELLET FUEL IN ASH PAN. A fire in the ash pan may occur.
INSTALLATION: Contact your local building or fire official to obtain a permit and any information on installation restrictions and inspection requirements for your area.
Be sure to maintain the structural integrity of your home when passing a vent through walls, ceilings, or roofs, and all construction meets local building codes. It is recommended that the unit be secured into its position in order to avoid any displacement. This appliance must be installed on a floor with an adequate load bearing capacity, if existing construction doesn’t meet load capacity, suitable measures (e.g. load distributing plate) must be taken to achieve it.
DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
FRESH AIR: This unit uses large quantities of air for combustion; outside Fresh Air connection isstrongly recommended. Fresh Airmust be connected to all units installed in Mobile and “Air Tight Homes” (R2000) or where required by local codes.
Consider all large air moving devices when installing your unit and provide room air accordingly. NOTE: Extractor fans when operating in the same room or space as the appliance may cause problems. Limited air for combustion may result in poor performance, smoking and other side effects of poor combustion.
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. The ash pan and viewing door must be locked securely for proper and safe operation of the pellet stove.
Do not burn with insufficient combustion air. A periodic check is recommended to ensure proper combustion air is admitted to the combustion chamber. Setting the proper combustion air is achieved by adjusting the slider damper located on the left side of the stove.
Minor soot or creosote may accumulate when the stove is operated under incorrect conditions such as an extremely rich burn (black tipped, lazy orange flames).
If you have any questions with regards to your stove or the

SLIDER/DAMPER
THE SLIDER / DAMPER MUST BE SET AT TIME OF INSTALLATION. A Qualified Service Technician or Installer must set the Slider Damper.
If the fire should happen to go out and the heat output indicator has been set on the lowest setting, the Slider Damper should be pushed in slightly, decreasing the air in the firebox.
If, after long periods of burning, the fire builds up | |||
and overflows the burn pot or there is a build up of | |||
clinkers, this would be a sign that the pellet quality | Exhaust Channel | ||
is poor, this requires more primary air, the slider | |||
damper must be pulled out to compensate. Pulling | Exhaust Fan | ||
the slider damper out gives the fire more air. | Housing | ||
The easiest way to make sure that an efficient flame | Slider Damper | ||
is achieved is to understand the characteristics of | |||
the fire. | |||

too much air – Close slider (push in) slightly.
•If the flame is in the middle of these two characteristics with a bright yellow/orange, active flame with no black tips then the air is set for proper operation, refer to Figure 7.
The combustion exhaust blower is a variable speed blower controlled by the heat output button. This blower will decrease the vacuum pressure inside the stove, adjusting the air to fuel ratio.
SPECIAL NOTES:
Pellet quality is a major factor in how the Pellet stove will operate. If the pellets have a high moisture content or ash content the fire will be less efficient and has a higher possibility of the fire building up and creating

Dealer will have to reset the sensor. If this happens, call your local dealer to reset the 200°F (93°C) high limit switch. ALSO FIND THE REASONS WHY THE UNIT OVERHEATED.
C)The unit is equipped with a vacuum switch to monitor the venting; if it becomes blocked the vacuum switch will turn off the auger and the #2 light on the control board will flash.
OPERATINGYOURPELLETSTOVE:
DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT WITH THE DOOR OR ASH PAN OPEN. Note: The thermostat mode can be changed during normal operation.
Operating Instructions
MANUAL MODE:
All control of circuit board function is adjusted at the circuit board.
To START: Press the ON / OFF button. The stove will turn on. The system light will flash. The Auger Light will flash with each pulse of the auger (the Auger Feed Rate is
If this is the first time the unit has been started or the unit has run out
of fuel, the auger will need to be primed. This can be done by restarting the unit five (5) minutes into its
To OPERATE: When a fire has been established, the System Light will turn solid (after approximately 10 - 15 minutes) and the Auger Light will continue to flash to the corresponding Heat Level setting.
The convection blower (room air blower) will turn on. The speed of this blower is controlled by the setting of the heat level output indicator. The convection blower can be turned OFF by depressing the convection blower control button. For the best efficiency the convection blower should be left on at all times.

OPERATION: When the thermostat contacts close, the unit will light automatically. Once up to temperature, the stove operates the sameas in MANUAL. When the thermostat contacts open, the stove’s HEAT
LEVEL and Fans will drop down to the LOW setting for 30 minutes. If
the thermostat contacts close within the 30 minutes, the HEAT LEVEL will return to the previous MANUAL setting. If the thermostat contacts remain open the stove automatically begins its shutdown routine. The ON / OFF button can be presses at any time the the stove will immediately shut down. The stove will relight when the thermostat contacts close again.
TURNINGYOURPELLETSTOVEOFF:
•MANUAL and HI / LOW mode: To turn the unit OFF, simply press the ON / OFF button. This will stop the feed of pellets. The blowers will continue to operate and cool the stove down. When cool enough, the stove will turn off.
•AUTO / OFF mode: To turn the unit OFF, turn the thermostat down or off. NOTE: The unit will run on low for three (3) minutes before it turns off.
DO NOT unplug unit while Combustion fan is operating.
This may lead to smoke escaping from the stove.
Operating Instructions
SLIDER/DAMPER
THE SLIDER / DAMPER MUST BE SET AT TIME OF INSTALLATION. This is used to regulate the airflow through the pellet stove.
If, after long periods of burning, the fire builds up and overflows the burn pot or there is a build up of clinkers, this would be a sign that the pellet quality is poor, this requires more primary air, the slider damper must be pulled out to compensate. Pulling the slider damper out gives the fire more air.
The easiest way to make sure that an efficient flame is achieved is to understand the characteristics of the fire.
• A tall, lazy flame with dark orange tips requires more air
– Open slider (pull out) slightly.
• A short, brisk flame, like a blowtorch, has too much air
– Close slider (push in) slightly.
•If the flame is in the middle of these two characteristics with a bright yellow/orange, active flame with no black tips then the air is set for proper operation, refer to Figure 7.
The combustion exhaust blower is a variable speed blower controlled by the heat output button. This blower will decrease the vacuum pressure inside the stove and as the heat output button is turned down.
SPECIAL NOTES:
Pellet quality is a major factor in how the Pellet stove will operate. If the pellets have a high moisture content or ash content the fire will be less efficient and has a higher possibility of the fire building up and creating clinkers (hard ash
GUIDELINESFOR
Figure 6: Slider/Damper Adjustment Knob.
Figure 7: Efficient Flame.
Due to fuel quality the slider damper and control board trims may need to be
1.If the unit builds up on all settings, the slider damper rod should be pulled out in small increments to give the unit more air.
2.If the unit has excesses ash
3.If the fire is going out on low because the airflow is too great, the Combustion Blower Trim can be lowered to the #1 setting.
4.If the stove has excesses ash
5.If you need more heat and the fuel has long pellets, the majority are over 1” (2.5cm) in length, the Feed Rate Trim can be moved up to the #5 setting. NOTE: Only do this if the fuel burns without building up.
Routine Cleaning and Maintenance
The following list of components should be inspected and maintained routinely to ensure that the appliance is operating at its’ optimum and giving you excellent heat value:
Burn Pot and Liner | Exhaust Vent |
Heat Exchanger Tubes | Air Intake |
Ash Pan | Blower Mechanisms |
Door Glass | Heat Exchanger Tubes |
Inside Firebox | Behind Firebox Liners & Covers |
Ash Pan and Door Gaskets | All Hinges |
Door Latch | Post Season |
TOOLS REQUIRED TO CLEAN UNIT:
Torx
BURNER POT AND LINER
Burn Pot Liner
Ignitor Hole
Air Intake Tube
Ignitor Tube
Burn Pot
Figure 8: Mini Burn pot and Liner
Every two to three days (when the unit is cold), remove the
If, after long periods of burning, the fire continually builds up and overflows the burn pot or there is a build up of clinkers, this is an indication that the pellet fuel quality is poor, the stove may need cleaning, or the air adjusted. Check the stove for ash build up (clean if required) and adjust the slider / damper to produce the proper clean combustion.
HEAT EXCHANGER TUBES
A handle is located in the center of the stove just above the door (shown in Figure 6). This handle is to be pulled up and down a few times (ONLY WHEN THE UNIT IS COLD) in order to clean away any fly ash that may have collected on the heat exchanger tubes. As different types of pellets produce different amounts of ash, cleaning of the tubes should be done on a regular basis to enable the unit to run efficiently.
ASH PAN AND DOOR GASKETS (weekly)
After extended use the gasketing may come loose. To repair this, glue the gasketing on using hightemperature fiberglass gasket glue available from your local dealer. This is important to maintain an airtight assembly.
DOOR GLASS CLEANING
Cleaning of the glass must only be done when stove is cold. Open the door by lifting the handle. The glass can be cleaned by wiping down the outside and inside of the glass with a dry soft cloth.
