Introduction
* This manual is designed for the home owner in conjunction with the technical manual. *
PELLET QUALITY:
Pellet quality is important, please read the following:
Your enviro pellet stove has been designed to burn wood pellets only. Do not use any other
type of fuel, 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.
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 tend to clinker. Check the
Burn-Pot Liner daily to ensure that the holes are not blocked with clinkers. If they become blocked,
remove the liner (when the unit is cold) and clean/scrape the clinkers out. Clean the holes with a small
pointed object if required. Refer to the section Routine Cleaning and Maintenance.
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.
Store pellets at least 36” (1 m) away from the pellet stove.
AUTOMATIC SAFETY FEATURES:
Your pellet Stove has the following safety features:
A) The stove will shut off when the fire goes out and the exhaust temperature drops below 120 °F
(49°C).
B) The stove has a high temperature safety switch. If the temperature on the hopper reaches 200 °F
(93 °C) the auger will automatically stop, and the stove will shut off when the exhaust temperature
cools. If this happens call your local dealer to reset the 200 °F (93 °C) high limit switch. FIND THE
REASONS WHY THE UNIT OVERHEATED.
C) This unit has a convection fan control over-ride. This function causes the convection fan to reach its
full speed when the temperature at the back of the firebox reaches 160 °F (71 °C). This is a normal
safety feature of your unit.
D) 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.
