Introduction
* This manual is designed for the technician in conjunction with the owner’s manual. *
IMPORTANT SAFETY DATA:
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. Contact your local building or fire official to obtain a permit and any information on
installation restrictions and inspection requirements for your area.
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.
Be sure to maintain the structural integrity of the home when passing a vent through walls, ceilings, or
roofs.
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.
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. Make sure that the structural integrity of the home is maintained and all
construction meets local building codes.
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 regard to your stove or the above-mentioned information, please feel free
to contact your local dealer for further clarification and comments.
SAFETY WARNINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
Caution: Do not connect to any air distribution duct or system.
Do not burn garbage or flammable fluids such as gasoline, naptha or engine oil.
Unit hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing and furniture away. Contact
may cause skin burns.
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 semi-annually or every two tons of pellets.

Introduction
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 115 volts (4.7 Amps), 60
hertz electrical outlet. Be careful that the electrical cord is not trapped under the appliance and that it is
clear of any hot surfaces or sharp edges and also must be accessible. If this power cord should become
damaged, a replacement power cord must be purchased from the manufacture or a qualified ENVIRO
dealer. This unit’s maximum power requirement is 540 watts.
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.
FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS: Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter
fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire in the heater. Keep all such liquids well away from
the heater while it is in use.
SMOKE DETECTOR: Smoke detectors should be installed and maintained in the structure when
installing and operating a pellet burning appliance.
OPERATION: The ash pan and door must be closed securely for proper and safe operation of the pellet
stove. Also ensure all gaskets on the door are checked and replaced when necessary.
INSTALLATION: Be sure to maintain the structural integrity of your home when passing a vent through
walls, ceilings, or roofs. It is recommended that the unit be secured into its position in order to avoid any
displacement.
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: Outside Fresh Air connection is optional. Must 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. Limited air for combustion may result in poor
performance, smoking and other side effects of poor combustion.
If you have any questions with regards to your stove or the above-mentioned information, please feel
free to contact your local dealer for further clarification and comments.
SINCE SHERWOOD INDUSTRIES LTD. HAS NO CONTROL OVER THE INSTALLATION OF
YOUR STOVE, SHERWOOD INDUSTRIES LTD. GRANTS NO WARRANTY IMPLIED OR STATED
FOR THE INSTALLATION OR MAINTENANCE OF YOUR STOVE. THEREFORE, SHERWOOD

OPTIONAL HEARTH PAD INSTALLATION:
This unit can be installed on a combustible floor (e.g. linoleum, hardwood flooring) when the Optional
Hearth Pad is installed. If this unit is to be installed onto a carpeted surface, a solid pad must be used
underneath the Optional Hearth Pad for stability.
Carefully place the the pellet appliance on its back, on the pallet (allow the exhaust tube to fit thru an
opening in the pallet). Align the holes in the hearth pad and the unit and install the four (4) screws
provided. Stand the unit back up. Adjust the leveling legs to below the Hearth Pad, to support the weight
of the unit.
When moving the unit - be careful not to damage the floor or the Hearth Pad.

THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION:
1. Install the wall thermostat in a location that is not to close too the unit but will effectively heat the
desired area.
2. Install a 12 or 24 Volt Thermostat using an 18 x 2
gauge wire from the unit to the thermostat.
If the unit has been placed in the HI / LOW mode, the unit
will be taken to a low or idle setting when the thermostat
is not calling for heat. When the thermostat calls for heat,
the unit will go to the setting that is displayed on the
control board Heat Indicator. If the heating load is not
great enough when the stove is on low, the high limit
switch will turn the stove off and the switch will have to
be manually reset. To reset the high limit switch, remove
the right cabinet side. The switch is found behind the
control panel. Avoid setting off the high limit switch.
Remove jumper
wire and install
thermostat wires here.

hot enough to cause burns if touched by children. Non-combustible shielding or guards may be required.
3. Termination must exhaust above the inlet elevation. It is recommended that at least five feet of vertical pipe be
installed outside when the appliance is vented directly through a wall, to create some natural draft to prevent the
possibility of smoke or odor during appliance shut down or power failure. This will keep exhaust from causing a
nuisance or hazard from exposing people or shrubs to high temperatures. In any case, the safest and preferred
venting method is to extend the vent through the roof vertically.
4. Distance from the bottom of the termination and grade is 12” (30 cm) minimum. This is conditional upon the
plants and nature of grade surface. The exhaust gases are hot enough to ignite grass, plants and shrubs located
in the vicinity of termination. The grade surface must not be lawn.
5. If the unit is incorrectly vented or the air to fuel mixture is out of balance, a slight discoloration of the exterior
of the house might occur. Since these factors are beyond the control of Sherwood Industries Ltd, we grant no
guarantee against such incidents.
NOTE: Venting terminals shall not be recessed into walls or siding.

1. Place the appliance 15” (37.5 cm) away from the wall. If the stove is to be set on a hearth pad, set
the unit on it.
2. Locate the center of the exhaust pipe on the stove. Extend that line to the wall. Once you have located
the center point on the wall, refer to pellet vent manufacturer installation instructions for correct hole
size and clearance to combustibles.
3. Install the wall thimble as per the instructions written on the thimble. Maintain an effective vapour
barrier in accordance with local building codes.
4. Install a length of vent pipe into the wall thimble. Try not to have joints inside the thimble. The pipe
should install easily into the thimble.
5. Connect the exhaust vent pipe to the exhaust pipe on the stove. Seal the connection with high
temperature silicone.
6. Install the fresh air intake (see OUTSIDE FRESH AIR CONNECTION).
7. Push the stove straight back, leaving a minimum of 4” (10 cm) clearance from the back of the stove
to the wall. Seal the vent pipe to the thimble with high temperature silicone.
8. The pipe must extend at least 12” (30 cm) away from the building. If necessary, bring another
length of pipe to the outside of the home to connect to the first section. Do not forget to place high
temperature silicone around the pipe that passes through the thimble.
9. Install a vertical pipe, or if all requirements for direct venting are met, install vent termination.The
stainless steel cap termination manufactured by the vent manufacturer is recommended. However,
when the vent terminates several feet above ground level and there are no trees, plants, etc. within
several feet, a 45° elbow can be used as termination. The elbow must be turned down to prevent
rain from entering.
NOTE:
• It is recommended that horizontal through wall installations have 3 to 5 feet (91 to 152 cm) of vertical
pipe in the system to help naturally draft the unit in the event of extreme weather or a power outage.
Figure 13: Straight through wall Installation.
• Some horizontal through wall installations
may require a “T” and 3 to 5 feet (91 to 152
cm) of vertical pipe outside the building to
help draft the unit. This may be required if
a proper burn cannot be maintained, after
the stove has been tested and the airflow
set. This is due to the back pressure in
the exhaust caused by airflow around the
structure.
• Follow vent manufacturer guidelines for
installation of venting. High temp Sealent
must be used when connecting vent pipe
to the unit’s starter pipe. Improper seals
at the vent joints may cause combustion
by-products to leak into the room where
installed - seal as required.

Installation
SLIDER/DAMPER SET-UP:
This is used to regulate the airflow through the pellet stove.
The slider damper is located behind the left side panel. To open the left side panel, undo the one screw
located in the upper front corner of the cabinet side between the louvers. Also loosen three screws down
the back of the side panel.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. The vacuum pressure inside the firebox will increase as the combustion
exhaust blower increases in speed (higher heat output setting).
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.
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 build-up).

Slider Damper
Exhaust Blower
Figure 27: Slider/Damper Plate in Unit.
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 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.
Taking a reading of vacuum pressure inside the firebox with a magnehelic gauge can be used to set
the slider for best combustion. The best settings are a reading of approximately 0.10 inches of
water column on the high fire setting. Some fuels may require higher or lower settings. The
reading can be taken from the ” (3 mm) hole located on the front of the unit below the door and behind
the magnetic ash lip.
