6 Installation

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 • Fuses (2)

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 28" wide by 32-1/2" deep) (minimum .018" thick - 26 gauge) .

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

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.

Use the lag bolts (used to secure the stove to the pallet) to screw the pedestal to the floor.

Remove the ash pan (see page 29).

7/16”

Socket

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 1 3/4"

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.

Installation 11

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 60"

• Minimum width is 46"

Baffle Installation

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

Restrictor Adjustment

The exhaust 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.

Not Enough Air:

If clinkers 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 (“5”), yet the firepot does not remain clean, the stove needs to be cleaned and checked for air leaks (see “Maintenance” section of this manual).

• Maximum depth is 48"

• Minimum clearance of 9" on each side and 3" on back

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).

Safety Notice

Read this entire manual (especially the "Safety Precautions" on pages 2 and 3) 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.

NOTE:

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.

To Shut Down

Move the mode switch to "OFF". The exhaust blower will still run until the heater cools down.

Operation 23

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.

"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

FAULT

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.

24 Maintenance

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

Maintenance 25

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.

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 26) and knock away any debris on the firepot with a screwdriver. If severely clogged, remove the firepot to gain better access.

Travis Industries 4050504 100-01154

26 Maintenance

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

Clean the Heat Exchange Tubes

Open the hopper lid.

WARNING:

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

Store the scraper rod tool by hanging it on the hanger on the back of the stove.

Heat Exchanger

Cleaning Rod

With the door closed, insert the included tool into the hole on the heat exchanger cleaning rod. Move the heat exchange cleaner up and down several times.

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

Vacuum Hopper

Run the stove until the pellets run out. Open the hopper and vacuum out the entire hopper. The dust and any other debris near the bottom should be removed to prevent excessive build-up.

Cleaning the Optional Gold Surfaces (Door and optional Grill)

Fingerprints or other marks left on gold surfaces may become etched in place if they are not wiped clean prior to turning the stove on. Clean the gold with denatured alcohol and a soft cloth (make sure the heater is cool). Other cleaners may leave a film that may become etched into the gold.

NOTE: The left baffle is larger than the right baffle.

Cleaning the Baffles

Use both hands to lift each baffle up and forward. Then tilt the baffle downwards to remove any flyash that may have accumulated on top of the baffle. NOTE: you do not need to remove the baffle from the firebox.

Maintenance 29

BAFFLE INSTALLATION

The firebox baffles install on ledges at the top of the firebox. The two tabs (at the outside back corners) insert into notches at the right and left rear corners of the firebox walls.

Air Tubes

The baffles install on ledges above the firebrick.

The ash pan has a built in handle to ease transportation of the ashes.

NOTE: When replacing the ash pan make sure it is pushed all the way in.

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 door and clean the glass with a non-abrasive glass cleaner and rag. This will increase the amount of light and heat given off by the heater.

30 Maintenance

Yearly Maintenance (or every two tons)

WARNING: Disconnect the power cord prior to conducting service.

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.

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 (the stove must be cool and unplugged)

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.

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

RTV 500° F. silicone sealant.

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 built-in clean out cover. Remove the cover and vacuum out. While open, use a flashlight to look up the pellet vent to check for build-up.

Yearly Maintenance (or every two tons) - Continued

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.

• Test the door seal by shutting the door on a dollar bill in various locations. If the bill can be easily slid out, air may be leaking around the door seal – inspect the door gasket and door catch carefully.

• 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.

• Check the door to make sure it latches correctly. Slight adjustments can be made to the door catch if necessary (do not over-tighten this catch, an over-tightened catch will damage the door). The latch should engage with a slight amount of resistance, yet not be difficult to engage.

• If the glass is cracked, replace. The glass is held in place by glass clips that are underneath the airwash brackets. 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.
