6Ensure the heater establishes a draft. If the heater unexpectedly shuts off 5 to 25 minutes after
starting, the heater may not be drafting. The cause: negative pressure. Typically, re-starting the
heater five minutes after the shutoff will overcome the negative pressure and establish a draft.
However, if this does not work, you may wish to open a door or window near the heater. This will
allow in enough air in to overcome any negative pressure. Once drafting is initiated, the heater will
work properly without having to re-start the heater or allow in outside air. This is due to the heat
generated by the pilot.
Possible Causes of Negative Pressure:
• Exhaust fans (Jenn-Aire type fans in kitchens, bathroom fans)
• Vent termination located near a down draft or against prevailing winds
• Internal home pressure characteristics (multiple fireplaces, etc...)
7Let the heater burn for fifteen minutes. Adjust the air shutter, if necessary, to achieve the correct
looking flame (see the illustration below).
•The air shutter adjusts the amount of air that mixes with the gas before it exits the burner holes.
It is used to fine-tune the flame for differences in altitude and vent configuration.
Locate the air shutter adjustment
lever behind the gas control valve.
Move it up or down until the flame
looks correct. Pushing up gives the
flame more air (making it bluer).
Pulling it down cuts air down,
making it more orange.
NOTE: If the air control is all the
way up, yet the flames remain
sooty, shut off gas to the fireplace
and contact a qualified gas service
technician.

Starting the Heater for the First Time
•Painted Stoves require the paint to be cured. Start the heater and burn on low for 20 minutes. Turn
off and let cool. Repeat twice to fully cure the paint.
+Fumes and smoke from the paint curing and oil burning off the steel may occur the first time you
start your heater. This is normal. We recommend you open windows to vent the room.
+Condensation may appear on the glass each time you start the heater - this is normal.
+Blue Flames will occur on the heater when it first comes on. After fifteen minutes the flames will
turn a more realistic yellow and orange color.
?Certain installations use a remote "wall switch" to turn the heater on and off. If this is the case, leave
the ON/OFF switch "ON".

Maintaining Your Stove's Appearance
!The enameled surfaces may chip if struck. Damaged surfaces may be repaired using the enamel touch-up paint available
from Travis Industries.
!Fingerprints or other marks left on the gold surface may become etched in place if they are not wiped clean prior to
turning the stove on. Clean the surfaces with denatured alcohol and a soft cloth.
Cleaning Your Stove
•Use denatured alcohol and a soft cloth to clean the gold surfaces. Other cleaners may leave a film that may become
etched into the gold.
•Enameled surfaces may be cleaned with a soft rag, soap and water.
Yearly Service Procedure
!Failure to inspect and maintain the heater may lead to improper combustion and a potentially dangerous situation. We
recommend the following procedures be done by a qualified technician.
1Check the pilot flame. It should engulf approximately 3/8" of the top of the thermocouple (see illustration below). If it
does not, contact your dealer for service.
2Shut off gas to the heater by turning the gas control knob to "OFF" (see step A under "Starting the Pilot" on page 25).
Let the heater cool for 15 minutes. Open the door (see step 1 on page 20).
3Remove the logs, twigs and coals (see page 21 - NOTE: the logs are fragile). If any log is cracked or deteriorated,
replace it when re-installing. Check the logs for sooting. A small amount of soot along the bottom of the logs is normal.
If excessive sooting is found, the heater will require adjustment. Contact your dealer.
4Clean the burner pan (especially in the burner holes and slots) and inspect the following:
•Check for burner pan holes that are cracked, severely warped, or corroded.
•Make sure the burner pan assembly fits flat against the floor of the firebox.
•Check the firebox and area around the pilot to make sure there is no warping or damage.
If any problem is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service.
Before Disassembly: Check the pilot flame. It should
impinge the top 3/8” of the thermopile and engulf the
thermocouple.

5Replace the log set. Inspect the glass and door gasket. If it is deteriorated, replace. It may be re-attached using high-
temperature gasket cement (see page 22 for an illustration). If the glass is damaged, replace it. Replace the glass and
tighten the glass clip nuts fully. Make sure the gasket forms a seal and the side pieces of glass butt up against the center
piece. If needed, re-align or replace the gasket to insure an air-tight seal. Close the door.
6Inspect the area behind the control cover. Check the gas control valve and all of the gas lines. If any damage is found,
discontinue use and contact your dealer for service.
7Start the pilot and turn on the main burner. The flames should be orange/yellow and not touch the top of the firebox. If
the pilot or main burners do not burn correctly, contact your dealer for service. Monitor the blower operation.
8Remove any debris or vegetation near the vent termination. Contact your dealer if any sooting or deterioration is found
near the vent termination.

How this Heater Works
!This heater was designed with safety as the primary concern. Many of the components inside this
heater are for safety purposes. Therefore, only certified gas service technicians should service this
heater.
What Turns the Main Burners On and Off
This heater uses a millivolt system to control its operation (a millivolt is a very small amount of
electricity). The thermopile and thermocouple generate electricity when heated by the pilot flame.
This electricity is used to operate the gas valve. Without enough electricity, the gas valve will not
turn on. That is why when starting the pilot the gas control knob has to be pressed in long enough
for the thermocouple to heat up and generate enough electricity. The thermopile provides power for
the ON/OFF switch, remote control, or thermostat (see the illustration below). Because the
thermopile generates the electricity needed to turn the heater on and off, this heater can be operated
when the power is out (although the blower will not run).
When heated, the thermopile
generates electricity (a very small
amount, measured in "Millivolts").
This electricity is
used to operate the
main burners.
The main burners
are switched on and
off using the
electricity generated
by the thermopile.

What Prevents Gas Buildup
+This appliance utilizes a high-technology gas valve in conjunction with a pilot flame to ensure no
gas builds up inside the firebox.
+The thermocouple (next to the pilot) senses when the pilot flame is lit. If the pilot flame goes out,
this thermocouple no longer generates electricity, causing the gas valve to automatically shut off all
gas to the heater, preventing the pilot from spilling gas into the firebox.
Pilot Flame
The pilot flame is a time-proven
component that eliminates the possibility
of gas buildup inside the firebox.
Gas Valve
This high-technology valve automatically
shuts off all gas if it does not receive a signal
from the thermocouple. If any component is
damged or sensing a malfunction, or if the
wiring is damaged, it will shut off all gas.

Ceramic Glass
The glass in your heater is the most
durable glass available. It has been
tested to be extremely resistant to
breakage and temperature changes.
TROUBLESHOOTING (CONTINUED)PAGE 31
Why Nothing Should Be Placed Against the Heater
Your heater has a grill on the sides and top that must not be blocked. The area around the
control cover allows air into the firebox. If it is blocked the combustion inside the firebox will
not burn normally. This will result in reduced efficiency and the exhaust gases will become
dirty. The convection air openings on the side and top are used to draw room air over the hottest
parts of the heater and distribute the warmed air into the room. If they are blocked, the heater
will not heat as well and may become too hot internally.

2On stoves, route the thermostat wire through the gas inlet hole. For inserts, run the thermostat wire
behind the surround panels. Pull through all the slack (you may wish to wrap the wire in electrical
tape to prevent damage to the wire). Determine a location for the thermostat that is within range of
the 50' length of thermostat wire. It should be centralized in the room and away from the heater.
The wire may be routed externally on the wall or behind the wall (preferred).
3Cut the thermostat wire so there is approximately 6" of slack (NOTE: Do not splice thermostat wires
together–this leads to too much electrical resistance). Expose 1/2" off each wire of the thermostat
wire. Attach the exposed wire to the clips on the back of the thermostat using a screwdriver.
