VENTING
This model must have a vent opening in the rear of the unit. Confirm this and also
check that the label on the right side panel door states "Vented Room Heater".
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO OPERATE BY DRAWING COMBUSTION AIR
AND DILUTION AIR FROM THE ROOM. THE DRAFT HOOD LOCATED IN THE SAME ATMOSPHERIC
PRESSURE ZONE AS THE COMBUSTION AIR INLET TO THE APPLIANCE. IT IS ALSO DESIGNED TO
DRAW ROOM AIR FOR PROPER HEAT CIRCULATION FROM THE REAR OF THE UNIT. BLOCKING OR
MODIFYING THE LOUVERS IN ANY WAY CAN CREATE HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS, EITHER THROUGH
POOR VENTING OR BY OVERHEATING. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THIS UNIT HAS SUFFICIENT AIR
CIRCULATION FOR PROPER VENTING AND COMBUSTION THUS PROVISIONS MUST BE MADE FOR THE
SUPPLY OF ADEQUATE COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR.
WARNING: Operation of this heater when not connected to a properly installed and maintained venting
system or tampering with the vent safety shutoff system can result in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning
and possible death.
THE APPLIANCE CANNOT BE CONNECTED TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVICING A SEPARATE SOLID FUEL
BURNING APPLIANCE.
FLUE GAS SPILL SWITCH
NOTE: THIS HEATER MUST BE PROPERLY CONNECTED TO A VENTING SYSTEM. THIS HEATER
IS EQUIPPED WITH A VENT SAFETY SHUTOFF SYSTEM DESIGNED TO PROTECT AGAINST
IMPROPER VENTING OF COMBUSTION PRODUCTS. THIS SAFETY SWITCH IS LOCATED ON THE
REAR OF THE APPLIANCE CLOSE TO THE DRAFT HOOD RELIEF OPENING.
IF THE SWITCH TRIPS MORE THAN ONCE, THE CHIMNEY SHOULD BE INSPECTED BY A
QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN FOR POSSIBLE BLOCKAGE OR SEVERE DOWN DRAUGHT
CONDITIONS
This stove should be vented by certified 4" (10cm) Type B Gas Vent or a flexible gas vent liner that may be
encased in 6" (15cm) decorative stove pipe. The flue collar of the appliance will fit inside of standard vent and
may be fastened directly to the vent.
The ENVIRO incorporates its own internal draft hood, so no additional external draft hood is required.
Check periodically that the vent is unrestricted and an adequate draft is present when the unit is in operation.
The venting system should be assembled and installed according to the vent manufacturer's instructions and the
local, state/provincial or national codes. Two basic venting configurations are shown as rough guidelines only.
Follow national and local codes for other installation options.

A. USING AN EXISTING CHIMNEY
• Measure the height of the chimney beforehand and
purchase the appropriate kit. Never attempt to over stretch
a flexible liner to accommodate the height of the chimney.
• Any flue damper must be removed or locked permanently in
the open position.
• The chimney must be clean, in good working order and
constructed out of non-combustible materials.
• Make sure that all chimney clean-outs are tightly fitting and
will not permit air to leak into the chimney.
• Make all gas connections and check for leaks.
See vent manufacturer's instructions for vent system clearances to
combustibles and vent terminal clearance from roof.
MANUFACTURERS GENERAL VENTING
GUIDELINES
This information is compiled by the manufacturer as
a very general rule for single appliance venting of
the EG40 gas stove with 4" Type B gas vent.
Venting code and regulations may vary from area to
area, please check with the local, state/provincial
codes regarding the suitability of your application.
For other special venting requirements, please refer
to the local, state/provincial or national codes.
For best venting performance, we recommend total
vent height of 10 ft (3m) to 30 ft (9m) The total
horizontal length depends on the number of elbows
used a 90 elbow accounts for 5’ of the horizontal
run.
The venting should never slope down. 1/4" rise per
2' horizontal is recommended.
If practical, it is best to locate the appliance to permit
the use of shorter horizontals and fewer elbows.
-Two 90°elbow maximum total horizontal length of
20 ft (6m).
-Three 90°elbow maximum total horizontal length of
13 ft (3.8m).
-Four 90°elbow maximum total horizontal length of
6 ft (1.9m).
-Five 90°elbow, maximum total horizontal length of
0 ft (0m).
If 45°elbows are used, one 90°elbow is equivalent
to two 45°elbows.
Venting rise should be a minimum of 1 ft (.31m) from
the top of the unit before any horizontal run.
The bottom of the vent cap shall extend at least 2 ft.
(.6m) above the highest point of the roof where it
passes through and at least 2 ft (.6m) higher than
any portion of the roof within a horizontal distance of
10 ft. (3m).

INSTALLATION OF LOG SET and EMBERS
INSTALLING THE GLOWING EMBERS
A bag of ceramic fiber embers is provided for use on the front burner ember tray.
CAUTION: Use only the type of ember material supplied with this appliance. Due to the irregular size of the
ember material there may be more than required. Use only a single layer. Do not pile embers. The use of other
foreign materials on the burners may create dangerous conditions.
If over time, through cleaning and servicing, these embers require replacement, contact the nearest ENVIRO
dealer for replacement embers.
Gently remove the ember material from the plastic bag. Spreading pieces evenly across the front and rear of the
ember tray.
Do not pack down the embers. Leave embers loose.
DO NOT PLACE EMBERS ON THE REAR BURNER.
CAUTION: NEVER OPERATE THIS
APPLIANCE WITH THE DOOR REMOVED
INSTALLING THE LOG SET
Carefully remove logs from box. Check to ensure
there is no damage. It is very important to install
these logs in their proper position to insure safe,
optimum operating conditions. Open the front door
place logs on guide pins as per picture. Close the
door and tighten securely.
Upon the first light up, watch for ignition to all burner
ports. If a long delay is noted: First, wait for the
appliance to cool down. Open the front door of the
appliance. Check to carefully reposition the embers
making sure that burner ports are not plugged solid or
blocked. (See adjusting the venturi section to adjust air
for proper flame). IMPORTANT NOTE: When the unit
is turned on for the first time, it should be turned onto
high without the fan on for the first 4 hours. This will
cure the paint, logs, gasket material and the other
products used in the manufacturing process. It is
advisable to open a window or door, as the unit will
start to smoke and can irritate some people. After the
unit has gone through the first burn, turn the unit off
including the pilot, let the unit get cold then open the
glass door and clean it with a good gas fireplace glass
cleaner, available at your local ENVIRO dealer. (See page 10. cleaning glass)

MAINTENANCE AND TECHNICAL
Annually check to ensure that your Vent
system is clear.
Periodically check the pilot and burner. Check to
see that all the burner ports are clean and clear.
Check the pilot head for blockage. Check to ensure
the pilot flame is blue with small yellow tips.
CLEANING OF GLASS
Do not clean glass when hot
It will be necessary to clean the ceramic glass
periodically. During a cold start up, condensation
will sometimes form on the glass. This is a normal
condition with all gas fireplaces and stoves.
However, this condensation can allow dust and lint
to cling to the glass surface. Initial paint curing of the
appliance can leave behind a slight film on the glass.
This is a temporary problem. It is therefore
recommended that the glass be cleaned initially after
about the first two weeks of use.
After that, depending upon the amount of use,
cleaning should be required no more than two or
three times per season.
To clean the door, use a mild glass cleaner and a
soft cloth. Abrasive cleaners will damage the glass
and gold surfaces.
OPENING THE DOOR
Turn unit off and wait until the appliance has cooled
down.
1. Open the right hand hinged side flap, which will
expose a door fastener. Using a 1/2" wrench,
loosen the fastener.
2. Due to the shape of the bay window door. You
must also open the left-hand side flap before
attempting to open the door.
3. Ensure the door is properly fastened after
cleaning before attempting to re-light the appliance.
TO REPLACE DOOR AND GLASS ASSEMBLY
The glass in this appliance is an integral part of the
door assembly. If the glass is damaged or broken it
must be replaced by a complete inner door, can be
ordered through your local ENVIRO dealer.
To Replace:
• Open door fully
• Lift door vertically so that hinge pins lift out of
hinge receivers.
• Return the door assembly to dealer. The glass
assembly must be replaced as a complete
