VENTING:
This model must have a vent opening in the rear of the unit. Conrm 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 sufcient 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 drafthood relief opening.
If the switch trips more than once, the chimney should be inspected by a qualied service
technician for possible blockage or severe down draught conditions.
MANUFACTURER’S 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 inch Type B gas vent. Refer to the Venting manufacturer’s directions for installation.
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.
The venting system should be assembled and installed according to the vent manufacturer’s instructions and the
local, state/provincial or national codes.
GENERAL VENTING FOR THE EG40:
This stove should be vented by certied 4” (10 cm) Type B Gas Vent or a exible gas vent liner that may be encased
in 6” (15 cm) decorative stove pipe. The ue collar of the appliance will t 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 draught is present when the unit is in operation.

terminal clearance from roof.
INSTALLATION INTO AN EXISTING CHIMNEY:
Figure 4: Installation into an existing chimney.
This basic venting conguration shown are rough guidelines only.
Follow national and local codes for other installation options.
Measure the height of the chimney beforehand and purchase
the appropriate kit. Never attempt to over stretch a exible liner
to accommodate the height of the chimney.
• Any ue 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 tting and will

STRAIGHT VERTICAL INSTALLATION:
Figure 5: Straight vertical installation.
This basic venting conguration shown are rough
guidelines only. Follow national and local codes for
other installation options.
For the best venting performance, we recommend a
total vent height in the range of 10 feet (3.0 m) to 30
feet (9.1 m). The total horizontal length depends on
the number of elbows used; a 90° elbow accounts for
5 feet (1.5 m) of the horizontal run.
The venting should never slope down, a minimum 
inch (0.6 cm) rise is needed for every 2 feet (61 cm)
of horizontal is recommended.
If practical, it is best to locate the appliance to permit
the use of shorter horizontals and fewer elbows.
Number of 90° elbows Maximum total horizontal
length allowed
2 20 feet (6.1 m)
3 13 feet (4.0 m)
4 6 feet (1.8 m)
5 0 feet (0 m)
Note: Using two (2) 45° elbows is equivalent to using
one (1) 90° elbow.
The venting rise should be a minimum of 1 foot (0.31
m) from the top of the unit before any horizontal run
are used.
Table 1. 90° elbows allowed verses the
horizontal length.

ADJUSTING THE VENTURIES:
• There is a separate venturies for each burner, see Figure 9.
• Remove one screw from the cover plate located below
the ash shelf and loosen the other screw (do not
remove) swing the cover plate out of the way and
tighten screw down to hold it in place.
• With along screwdriver rotate spring clips to open or
close the venturies to the desired setting.
The venturies allows the amount of air coming into
the replace to be adjusted in order to accommodate
different climates and venting arrangements. Start
the pilot and then the burner. Make sure the pilot
ame is burning normally and none of the burner
ports are plugged. Let the replace burn for roughly
fteen9minutes and then examine the ames, compare
the ames to Figure 16.
The ideal ame will be blue at the base and light orange above. The ames should be of medium height. If the
ames look like this, no venturi adjustment is needed. If the ames are fairly short and mostly blue, the replace
is getting too much air. Therefore, the venturies should be closed slightly until the correct ames are achieved.
Flames that are very orange, with tall, dark, stringy tips, are not getting enough air. Open the venturi until the
ames clean up. If the venturi is opened, or closed all the way, and the correct ames cannot be attained, turn off
the gas and contact the dealer.
Warning: Incorrect venturi adjustment may lead to improper combustion, which is a safety hazard. Contact the
dealer if there is any concern about the venturi adjustment.
