Installation (For Qualified Installers Only) 7

Before You Begin

READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE YOU INSTALL AND USE THIS HEATER. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY INJURY, OR EVEN DEATH.

Check with local building officials for any permits required for installation of this pellet heater and notify your insurance company before proceeding with installation.

Packing List

• Thermostat & Wire • Scraper Rod Tool • Brush • Spare Fuse • Bottle Brush • Door Tool

• (2) Floor Mounting Brackets

Installation Options

• Residential or Mobile Home (see the section "Mobile Home Requirements")

• Alcove Compatible (see the section "Alcove Installation")

• Horizontal or Vertical Vent

• Outside Air Compatible

• Vent with L-Vent, L-Vent Fireplace Liner, or Type A Chimney (with adapter)

Planning The Installation

HINT: Have an authorized Travis Industries dealer install this heater. If you install the heater

yourself, have your dealer review your installation plans.

HINT: Sketch out a detailed plan of the installation including dimensions. Then verify the

dimensions with the requirements listed in this manual.

HINT: When determining the location of the stove, locate the wall studs (for horizontal

penetrations) and ceiling trusses (for vertical penetrations). You may wish to adjust the stove position slightly to ensure the vent does not intersect with a framing member.

HINT: Place the heater outside and load 10 pounds of pellets inside the hopper. Plug the

heater in and let it run on HIGH until the pellets run out. This will cure the paint and burn off any oil on the steel, eliminating any smell inside the home.

Stove Placement

• Stove must be placed so that no combustibles are within, or can swing within (e.g. drapes, doors), 36" of the front of the heater.

• If the stove is placed in a location where the ceiling height is less than 7', it must follow the requirements in the section "Alcove Installation Requirements".

HINT: REDUCING CLEARANCES - Clearances may be reduced by methods specified in NFPA

211, listed wall shields, pipe shields, or other means approved by local building or fire officials.

• Heater and floor protection must be installed on a level, secure floor.

Floor Protection Requirements

• The heater must be installed on a non-combustible floor protector extending the full width and depth of the heater and extending 6" in front (minimum 27-3/4" wide by 31" deep) (minimum .018" thick - 26 gauge) .

• Must extend under and 2" to each side and rear of a "Tee" (if used).

Installation (For Qualified Installers Only) 11

Mobile Home Requirements

• Outside air is required (used for combustion) - see the directions below.

• The heater must be bolted to the floor (Some states do not require this; check with your local building department). See the illustration to the right.

• The heater must be grounded to the steel chassis of the mobile home (Some states do not require this; check with your local building department).

WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL IN

SLEEPING ROOM.

CAUTION: THE STRUCTURAL

INTEGRITY OF THE MANUFACTURED HOME FLOOR, WALL, AND CEILING/ROOF MUST BE MAINTAINED.

The leveling bolts in the legs may be used in conjunction with the included clips (sku

Outside Air (used for combustion)

• Must not be drawn from an enclosed space (garage, unventilated crawl space).

HINT: Travis Industries strongly suggests outside air for all residential installations, especially for

those that are energy efficient, air-tight homes.

• Must not be over 15' long.

• Must be made with 3" diameter or larger metal or aluminum duct with a metal screen attached to

the end to keep out rodents (P.V.C. or other combustible materials may not be used). We recommend the Travis Industries Outside Air Kit (part # 99200136).

• Must not terminate above or within 1' of the chimney termination.

• Must have a rain cap or down-turned elbow to prevent water from entering.

• Must be located so that it will not become plugged by snow or other material.

A screen is required to prevent rodents from entering.

3” Air Duct

(99200136 includes 4’ length)

Air may be drawn from a ventilated crawl space.

Outside air entrance must be placed so it does not become blocked by snow.

Botttom of Stove

Use a hose clamp to secure the aluminum air duct to the air inlet flange on the stove.

Air Duct (3” Dia.)

12 Installation (For Qualified Installers Only)

Alcove Installation Requirements

When the pellet stove is placed in a location where the ceiling height is less than 7' tall, it is considered an alcove installation. Because of the reduced height, the requirements listed below must be met.

• Minimum height is 55"

• Minimum width is 41-1/4"

Baffle Installation

Install the baffles included with the stove (see page 29 for details).

Door Seal Verification

The door is aligned prior to leaving the factory. However, shipping and installation may cause the door to become mis-aligned. Verify the door is correctly aligned and seals properly (see the section "Door Seal" under Yearly Maintenance).

Restrictor Adjustment

The restrictor “fine tunes” your appliance, ensuring it pulls the correct amount of air through the firebox. Altitude, vent configuration, and other factors make restrictor adjustment necessary for every installation.

NOTE : the optimal restrictor position will vary over time as soot builds up inside the exhaust system – make sure the homeowner knows how to visually inspect the flame and adjust the restrictor.

• Maximum depth is 48"

• Minimum clearance of 7" on each side and 3" on back

Not Enough Air

If clinkers (ashes that solidify into a clump) develop or the flame appears lazy and slow to blow the ash out of the firepot, pull the restrictor outward until the flame becomes active and the firepot holes remain clean. NOTE: If the restrictor is fully out, yet the firepot does not remain clean, the stove needs to be cleaned and checked for air leaks (see “Maintenance” section of this manual).

Too Much Air

If the flames are too active (small, flickering flames) or if burning pellets are expelled from the firepot, move the restrictor rod inwards until the flame slows down and no burning pellets are expelled. Another symptom of too much air is the heater “blowing the fire out” – a condition in which the pellets burn faster than they are fed (this is most common on low).

Page 13

Installation (For Qualified Installers Only) 13

Thermostat Installation

! Do not connect 120 VAC to the thermostat circuit of this heater (do not use a

household thermostat used for a wall-board or other electical heater).

A thermostat is included with this heater (part # 99300650). Follow the directions below to install.

1 Attach the thermostat

wire to the circuit board (see the illustration below). Route the wire through the back of the heater (away from any hot or moving components).

20 Operation

Safety Notice

Read this entire manual (especially the "Safety Precautions" on pages 4 and 5) before using this stove. Failure to follow the instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.

! Do not unplug the stove to turn it off. This stove relies upon electricity to push the flue

gases out the pellet vent – unplugging it may lead to smoke entering your room.

! Failure to maintain your heater will lead to a restricted combustion air system, leading to

poor performance and in some cases, smoke spillage into the room. See the "Maintenance" section for details.

Location of Controls

Three tabs are provided on the back of the stove to hang the cleaning tools (bend the tabs out).

Starting the Heater for the First Time

Start the Heater - Let it Burn for 1 Hour - THEN OPEN THE DOOR

The stove paint is cured through heat. To prevent it from bonding to the door gasket, you must burn the heater for approximately 1 hour, then open and close the door to break any bonding.

Curing the Paint

This stove uses a heat-activated paint that will emit some fumes while starting the first fire. Open doors and windows to the room to vent these fumes. You may also notice oil burning off of the interior of the stove. This ruststopping agent will soon dissipate.

2 to 4 hours

Firepot

Restrictor

The restrictor adjusts the amount of air flowing to the firepot.

Priming the Auger

Because of its electronic control panel, this stove does not require priming. If you run out of pellets you may notice it will take approximately 5 minutes longer for the stove to start.

Page 21

Loading Pellets

Lift the hopper lid to its vertical position. Pour pellets into the hopper until full. NOTE: The hopper holds approximately 50 pounds of pellets.

To Open the Hopper Lid:

Lift the hopper lid from this handle.

Warning:

The front edge of the stove top becomes very hot, do not touch this area below the handle.

Operation 21

NOTE:

The auger automatically shuts off when the hopper lid is open. If loading pellets while the heater is on, make sure to close the lid as soon as possible. This prevents the heater from shutting off due to lack of pellets in the firepot.

HINT : To prevent the pellet stove from inadvertently shutting down due to the auger disabling switch, we

recommend pressing the “START” button after reloading the stove.

The Two Modes of Operation

Manual

Manual mode requires the user to turn the heater on and off manually.

Auto (requires a thermostat)

Auto mode allows you to use a thermostat to control room temperature. The stove automatically turns on when the temperature drops below the thermostat setting. Once the stove reaches operating temperature, the stove then runs at the heat output setting selected.

Switching Modes While in Operation

Whenever the stove is switched from one mode to another while in operation, the stove will enter the "startup" sequence for a minimum of 20 minutes.

Operation 23

Auto Mode

To Adjust Room Temperature (or Start the Stove)

Move the thermostat to the heat setting desired. If the room is cooler than the setting, the stove will go through the start-up sequence for approximately 10 minutes. During this period the lowest “HEAT OUTPUT” light will flash. Once up to temperature, the stove will then run at the heat output setting selected on the control panel. If the room is too hot, move the thermostat to a lesser setting.

To Adjust the Heat

Press the "Heat” buttons to adjust the heat output.

HINT:

If you find that the stove turns on and off repeatedly, you may wish to turn the heat output to a lesser setting. The lower setting will provide a more consistent heat output over time, eliminating the need for the thermostat to repeatedly turn the stove off.

NOTE:

If the thermostat calls for heat while the stove is still cooling down, the stove will go through the start-up sequence (for a minimum of 20 minutes).

Operation 25

Start-Up Sequence

This stove utilizes a start-up sequence whenever the mode switch is changed or the heater is started when cold. This is to ensure proper operation through all possible settings and operational states (hot or cold, pellets burning or not burning, etc.). This sequence over-rides all user settings (except the "OFF" position) to set the auger feed rate to medium, the exhaust blower to high, and the igniter on. During this period the lowest “HEAT OUTPUT” light will flash.

"MANUAL AUGER" Button

This button turns the auger on. It is used to “prime” the auger after the hopper has run out of pellets.

"AUGER ON" Light

This light comes on when the auger is turning. This allows the operator to determine when the auger is turning.

"FAULT" Light

This light comes on when an error occurs:

• The stove runs out of pellets

• During initial start-up (for a split

second) or for improper electrical frequency

• A start-up sequence that does not result in the heater coming up to temperature

To reset the fault light, turn the mode switch to off and re-start the stove.

Power Outages

If a sustained power outage occurs while in "Manual", the stove will go to a "cool down" mode to vacate smoke once power returns. If the power outage was short, the heater will go to the start-up sequence. If in "Auto", the stove will re-start (if the room is cool).

! Because this stove relies upon a blower to evacuate the smoke, some smoke may enter

the home during a power outage. To keep to a minimum, leave the door closed.

26 Operation

Using a Pellet/Corn Mix with This Heater

This heater may burn a mixture of corn and wood pellets up to a 50% - 50% proportion by volume. Shelled corn burned in Travis pellet appliances must be clean (free of husk and cob residue) and have a moisture content no greater than 15%.

DO NOT BURN A MIX WITH MORE THAN 50% CORN TO WOOD PELLETS. THOROUGHLY MIX THE TWO FUELS TOGETHER TO BE SURE OF AN EVEN BURN RATE.

• If combustion is slow, if the fire is slow to start, or if clinkers (ashes that solidify into a clump)

build up rapidly in the fire pot, decrease the proportion of corn and increase the proportion of wood pellets until you find a proportion that works well in your appliance.

• If your stove or insert is operated with a thermostat, you may notice the automatic igniter at

times fails to light a 50/50 corn to pellet mix. If you experience this, decrease the proportion of corn and increase the proportion of wood pellets in the mix.

For an optimum fire and greatest efficiency, it is important to keep the fire pot free of built up ashes. If you are burning only high quality wood pellets, you should check and clean the fire pot at least every two weeks or after ten bags of pellets.

If the pellets you are burning have a high ash content or if you burn a corn/wood pellet mixture, we recommend that you check the fire pot every day and clean it if necessary.

Page 27

Maintenance 27

Daily Maintenance (whenever using the stove)

Inspect the Burn

When burning on high, the flames should be bright orange with embers jumping from the firepot.

NOTE : the optimal restrictor position will vary over time as soot

builds up inside the exhaust system. See "Restrictor Adjustment" for details.

Make Sure Pellets are Not Piling Up

If the pellets pile up over the burn pot, turn the mode switch to "OFF".

The most likely causes are:

• Restrictor needs adjustment

(see “Restrictor Adjustment” in the installation section of this manual)

• The door, glass, or ashpan is

open or has an air leak

• The firepot requires cleaning

• The exhaust system requires

cleaning

Daily Maintenance (whenever using the stove) - Continued

Check Firepot for Clinkers

If the flames seem to be coming only from the sides, or are orange/black, turn the heater off and check for clinkers (ashes that solidify into a clump).

The most likely causes are:

• Restrictor needs

adjustment (see “Restrictor Adjustment” in the installation section of this manual)

• Poor pellet quality

• The door or glass has

an air leak

• The exhaust system

requires cleaning

Cleaning the Firepot

WARNING:

Make sure the heater has fully cooled (approximately 25 minutes) before opening the door and conducting service.

To clean the firepot, open the door (see page 27) and knock away any debris on the firepot with a screwdriver. If severely clogged, remove the firepot to gain better access.

Bi-Weekly Maintenance (or every 10 bags of pellets)

Flyash Removal

This heater was designed to allow for easy flyash removal with the included tools. However, to ease maintenance, several pellet stove owners have purchased vacuums specifically made to remove flyash. Furthermore, some of these vacuums are heat-resistant to allow for flyash removal while it is still warm. Do not use a standard vacuum on this appliance (except to clean the pellet dust out

of the hopper). Standard vacuums may spread the fine particles inside the flyash into the home and are not heat-resistant (hot flyash may cause the internal portion of vacuums to ignite).

Clean the Hopper

Run the stove until the pellets run out. Open the hopper and remove the dust and debris near the bottom of the hopper.

Clean the Heat Exchange Tubes

Use the included tool to move the heat exchanger rod up and down.

WARNING:

The front edge of the stove becomes very hot, do not touch the area below the handle.

NOTE: The tool hangs on the back of the stove.

Keep the door closed so the flyash does not enter the room.

Page 31

Maintenance 31

Bi-Weekly Maintenance (or every 10 bags of pellets) - continued

Clean the Baffles

WARNING : Make sure the heater has fully cooled (approximately 25 minutes) before conducting service. HINT : The more often you clean out flyash, the more efficient your heater will burn.

The baffles are found along the top of the firebox. The front edge has a slot that slides into a hook on the top of the firebox. The back rests on the back refractory. To remove, slide them inwards, pull them forward, and tilt them back to allow the accumulated flyash fall off into the firebox. Replace after cleaning.

Push up on the front portion of the left baffle and slide it to the right. Note how the rear edge of the baffle rests on the rear refractory.

Move the baffle forward and tilt the back down. This allows any built-up flyash to fall off the top of the baffle.

The right side baffle is removed in the same fashion. Note how the right side baffle is larger than the left side baffle.

WARNING : Make sure the heater has fully cooled (approximately 25 minutes) before conducting service.

Remove the two ashdump covers on the floor of the firebox using the included hook tool. Remove the firepot and place it aside. Sweep accumulated flyash through the holes in the firebox floor into the ashpan. Replace the covers and firepot after cleaning.

Use the included hook tool to remove the ashdump covers (both side).

Lift the firepot out of the firebox.

Use the included brush to sweep all flyash into the ashpan.

Make sure to sweep flyash from the firepot holder.

Page 33

Maintenance 33

Bi-Weekly Maintenance (or every 10 bags of pellets) - continued

Check Ashpan, Dispose if necessary

WARNING : Make sure the heater has fully cooled (approximately 25 minutes) before conducting service. WARNING : The ashpan must be in place while the heater is in use.

Lift up on the ashlip and slide the ashpan forward.

Twist the ashpan handle clockwise.

A handle is provided on the ashpan to remove the ashes.

Disposal of Ashes – Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed

container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have been thoroughly cooled.

Clean the Glass

Open the doors and clean the glass with a non-abrasive glass cleaner and rag.

Page 34

34 Maintenance

Yearly Maintenance (or every two tons)

The following section details extensive maintenance procedures. We strongly suggest these items be carried out by a trained service technician, possibly by a service agreement set up with your dealer.

WARNING: Disconnect the power cord and make sure the heater has fully cooled

prior to conducting service.

Soot and Flyash: Formation and Need for Removal – The products of combustion will contain small particles of flyash. The flyash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of the flue gases. Incomplete combustion, such as occurs during startup, shutdown, or incorrect operation of the room heater will lead to some soot formation which will collect in the exhaust venting system. The exhaust venting system should be inspected at least once every year to determine if cleaning is necessary.

Clean the Vertical Exhaust Duct

Remove the baffles at the top of the firebox (see page 31). Remove the firepot and ashdump covers (see page 32). Remove the side and back refractory (see the pictures below).

Using the included latch tool, remove the two duct covers on the inside of the firebox (see the pictures below)..

Page 35

Maintenance 35

Yearly Maintenance (or every two tons) - continued

Remove the button plugs at the top of the firebox (both sides). Once removed, use the bottle brush to dislodge any flyash from the exhaust channel behind the button plug.

Use the

bottle brush

to clean this

channel.

Button Plug

Use the included bottle brush to remove accumulated flyash from the vertical exhaust channels (both sides). You may need to bend the bottle brush to allow it to access this area. Remove accumulated flyash from the horizontal exhaust channels along the perimeter of the firebox and leading to the exhaust blower. Sweep the flyash out of the exahust channels and into the ashpan.

Vertical Exhaust Channel (behind the firebox walls – accessed from below).

HINT: You can remove dry flyash from the vertical exhaust channels by “tapping” on

the walls (be careful to prevent flyash from flying into the air).

Horizontal Exhaust Channel

Yearly Maintenance (or every two tons) - continued

Clean the Exhaust Blower

The exhaust blower cover is held in place with 4 screws.

Remove the side cover.

Remove the cover plate on the exhaust blower. Clean the area inside the blower, removing all flyash.

Remove these 3 nuts to expose the exhaust blower.

Use the bottle brush to disoldge any flyash near the exahust blower and in the horizontal exhaust channel. Take care to not damage the impeller on the exhaust blower.

Page 37

Maintenance 37

Yearly Maintenance (or every two tons) - continued

Clean the Convection Blower

Remove all dust and debris from the convection blower. Take care to prevent damage to the convection blower impellers.

Clean the Vent

Make sure the cap is free of debris (especially if it has a screen that could become blocked).

Check the vent sections for creosote accumulation (indicating a poorly burning stove). Accumulation over 1/4” must be removed.

Flyash will deposit along sections that are horizontal.

On vertically vented systems, the dirtiest portion is often the point where the vent turns upwards (i.e. the "Tee"). Fortunately, the "Tee" has a builtin clean-out cover. Place a container under the “Tee”, disconnect the cover and remove all flyash. While open, use a flashlight to look up the vent to check for build-up.

Warning: Whenever any portion of the pellet vent is disconnected, the joints must be sealed with

RTV 500° F. silicone sealant.

Adjusting the Door Hinge and Latch

The door latch should pull the door against the face of the stove (but not so tight as to not allow full handle rotation). To adjust the door latch, adjust the position of the striker plate that attaches to the front plate of the stove.

Check for Air Leaks Around the Door, Glass, and Ashpan

! Air leaks into the firebox will decrease the stove's performance greatly, leading to excessive

sooting, inefficient burning, and perhaps a malfunction.

• Inspect the door gasket to make sure it is fully attached. Use stove gasket cement to re-attach if

necessary. If the door gasket is worn or flattened, replace.

• If the glass is cracked, replace. The glass is held in place by glass clips. See the illustration below

for details.

• Remove the ashpan and inspect the gasket around the perimeter of the ashpan. Re-attach, or

replace the gasket if necessary.
