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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY DATA To prevent the possibility of a fire, ensure that the appliance is properly installed by adhering to the installation instructions. An ENVIROFIRE dealer will be happy to assist you in obtaining information with regards to your local building codes and installation restrictions. 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.
WARNINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS A. Do not abuse the glass by striking or slamming the door shut. B. Do not attempt to operate the stove with broken glass. C. Do not attempt to open the door and clean the glass while the unit is in operation. 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. D.
DECIDING WHERE TO LOCATE YOUR PELLET APPLIANCE 1. Check clearances to combustibles. 2. Do not obtain combustion air from an attic, garage or any unventilated space. Combustion air may be obtained from a ventilated crawlspace. 3. Do not install the stove in a bedroom. 4. You can vent the stove through an exterior wall behind the unit or connect it to an existing masonry or metal chimney (must be lined if the chimney is over 6” in diameter, or over 28 sq. inches cross sectional area).
REMOVING YOUR NEW STOVE FROM THE PALLET To remove your new stove from its pallet, open the left and right side panels. There are two wood screws that are holding the bottom of the stove to the pallet. Remove the screws. Close the side panels. To remove the right and left hand cabinet sides there are three T-20 Torx screws on the back of the panel, loosen these screws only. Remove the one screw located on the front of the cabinet side located behind the top louvers.
VENT TERMINATION REQUIREMENTS 1. Do not terminate the vent in any enclosed or semi-enclosed areas such as a carport, garage, attic, crawlspace, narrow walkway, closely fenced area, under a sundeck or porch, or any location that can build up a concentration of fumes such as stairwells, covered breezeway, etc. 2. Vent surfaces can become 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.
CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES This unit can be installed on a combustible floor due to the built in pedestal hearth pad, for example linoleum, hardwood flooring. If this unit is to install onto a carpeted surface a hearth pad must be used for stability.

VERTICAL INSTALLATION 1. Choose a stove location that is ideal. See the section Deciding Where to Locate Your Pellet Appliance. 2. Place the unit on the hearth pad (if installed on a carpeted surface.) and space the unit in a manner so when the pellet vent is installed vertically, it will be 3” (76 mm) away from a combustible wall. 3. Locate the center of the fresh air intake pipe on the unit. Match that center with the same point on the wall and cut a hole about 2 1/8 (53.9 mm) in diameter. 4.
HEARTH MOUNT INSTALLATION 1. Lock fireplace damper in the open position. 2. Install positive flue connector at the fireplace dampers. 3. Connect a Tee or a 90° degree elbow to the exhaust pipe. 4. Install flexible stainless steel liner or listed pellet vent to the top of the chimney. RAIN CAP. SEAL PLATE. EXISTING MASONRY FLUE. VENT PIPE. ( single wall stainless flex pipe or solid PL vent.) FLEXIBLE VENT CONNECTOR. (Use this 5 foot section of pipe to vent past fireplace damper or smoke shelf.
EXTERIOR MOUNTED EXHAUST BLOWER The EF V EVOLUTION can be equipped with an externally mounted exhaust blower. This optional kit would include all components necessary to install the exhaust blower on any vertical wall surface. Choose a location for your stove that meets the requirements stated in this manual and allows installation with the least amount of interference to house framing, plumbing, wiring, etc. Included in the exterior mounted exhaust blower kit are: 1---Exhaust blower housing.
7. Remove the front and bottom sections of the EXTERIOR EXHAUST BLOWER HOUSING and install the exhaust blower ensuring that the gasket material is not damaged and is properly positioned. 8. Re install the top and bottom sections of the exhaust blower housing and place a bead of high temperature silicone around the exhaust pipe were it exits the exhaust blower housing to create a watertight seal. HIGH TEMPERATURE SILICONE Replace the back grill of the stove and ensure the four screws are tightened.

ELECTRICAL COMPONENT AND FUNCTIONS Some parts have been removed for clarity.
The following is a list of electrical components and their functions on the ENVIROFIRE EF-V EVOLUTION pellet stove. 1 POWER CORD OUTLET. Main power supply to the unit supplied at this location. 2 CONVECTION BLOWER. This blower fan, (mounted in the center bottom of the unit) draws room air from the back of the stove and passes the air through the heat exchanger tubes and back into the room. The sealed system keeps the room air separate from the combustion air.
11 CONVECTION FAN CONTROLLER. This controller is responsible for varying the speed of the convection blower. 12 200° F (93° C) MANUAL RESET TEMPERATURE SENSOR. This sensor (located on the right side hopper) has a red button located in the center of the sensor. This sensor will turn the auger OFF if the hopper reaches 200° F (93° C). Depress the button to reset if the sensor has been activated. 13 120°F (49°C) N/O, TEMPERATURE SENSOR (SHUT-DOWN SENSOR).
TROUBLESHOOTING: DO NOT: - Hold the start-up switch down, this is a momentary contact switch and can be damaged if held down too long. - Service the stove with wet hands. The stove is an electrical appliance, which may pose a shock hazard if handled improperly. Only qualified technicians should deal with possible internal electrical failures. - Remove any screws in the firebox without first lubricating them with penetrating oil. What to do if: 1. The stove will not start. 2.
The stove will not operate when hot - 2. The exhaust motor will not function normally - 3. Open the left side panel, check all connections against the wiring diagram. Thoroughly check for broken wires or connections. If all the connections are verified and the exhaust blower does not function at all, tap lightly on the exhaust blower’s motor end cap, this may loosen a tight motor. Apply 115 V directly to the exhaust blower. If the motor does not run, replace the blower.
6. The auger motor will not function normally - - 7. Make sure the exhaust blower is operating. Make sure the dial-a-fire is turned on. Unplug the stove and open the side and back panels. Check all the connections to the auger motor, auger dial-a-fire, vacuum sensor, 200°F (93°C) temperature sensor and the timing control module against the wiring diagram in this manual. Check the condition of the vacuum hose (located on the left side of the stove).
8. The stove will not shut down - 9. 10. Check the connections to the 120°F (49°C) exhaust temperature sensor, start-up switch and the start-up timer against the wiring diagram. Check the 120°F (49°C) temperature sensor by removing one of the brown wires from the sensor. The unit should shut down right away as long as the start button was not pressed within 15 minutes of this test. If the stove shuts down within 15 minutes, replace the 120°F (49°C) sensor.
