Enviro FS Stove User Manual


 
PELLET QUALITY IS IMPORTANT,
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PAGE
Your pellet stove has been designed to burn wood pellets only. Since there are many manufacturers of
wood pellets it is important to select pellets that are free of dirt or any impurities. The Pellet Fuel
Industries (P.F.I.) has established standards for wood pellet manufactures. We recommend the use of
pellets that meet or exceed these standards. Ask your dealer for a recommended pellet type.
THE PERFORMANCE OF YOUR PELLET STOVE IS GREATLY EFFECTED BY THE TYPE AND
QUALITY OF WOOD PELLETS BEING BURNED. AS THE HEAT OUTPUT OF VARIOUS QUALITY
WOOD PELLETS DIFFER, SO WILL THE PERFORMANCE AND HEAT OUTPUT OF THE PELLET
STOVE.
Since Sherwood Industries Ltd. has no control over the quality of pellets that you use, we assume no
liability caused by the quality of wood pellets used.
P.F.I. PELLET STANDARDS:
Fines ..................................... 1% maximum through a 1/8” screen
Bulk Density.......................... 40 lbs. per cubic foot minimum
Size....................................... 1/4” to 3/8” diameter 1 – 1.5” long maximum
Ash Content .......................... 1% maximum
Moisture Content................... 8% maximum
Heat Content......................... approximately 8200 Btu per lb. minimum
Check the burn-pot liner periodically to ensure that the holes are not blocked with clinkers, (clinkers are
silica in the fuel that form a hard mass during the burning process). If they are blocked, remove the
liner (when the unit is cold) and clean the clinkers out. The liner should be cleaned or scraped once
every 2-3 days depending on wood pellet quality. Clean the holes in the lines with a small pointed
object.
Store pellets at least 36” (1 m) away from the pellet stove.
