Drafting Performance

This appliance relies upon natural draft to operate. External forces, such as wind, barometric pressure, topography, or factors of the home (negative pressure from exhaust fans, chimneys, air infiltration, etc.), may adversely affect draft. Travis Industries can not be responsible for external forces leading to less than optimal performance.

Vent Termination Requirements

• Vent termination must have an approved cap (to prevent water from entering)

• Vent termination must not be located where it will become plugged by snow or other material

• Vent termination must be

1' above the roof and meet the requirements outlined in ANSI Z223.1, section 7.6.2.

12” Min.

Note: ANSI 223.1, section 7.6.2 outlines additional requirements for gas vent terminations. If your installation involves a roof with a slope greater than 6/12 or if a wall or other vertical obstruction is within 8' of the vent termination, the vent termination will need to be taller. Refer to ANSI

223.1 for full details.

! When installed, the vent must provide suitable draft for the appliance. Other factors, such as exhaust

fans, may create negative pressure inside the home and cause down drafts. Additional vent height may be required in these circumstances.

6 Ensure 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...)

7 Let 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 Pilot Flame

The pilot flame is required to ignite the main burners (it also plays a safety role). It should be left on once lit. It will stay lit unless the gas control valve is turned to "OFF". However, the pilot will go out if the gas is shut off or if the stove malfunctions. If the pilot turns off frequently, call your dealer for information. To start the pilot follow the directions below:

NOTE: IF YOU'RE TRYING TO RE-LIGHT THE PILOT BECAUSE SERVICE WAS PERFORMED ON THE UNIT (I.E. GAS LINE REMOVED THEN RE-INSTALLED OR BECAUSE TANK RAN OUT OF GAS), FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR REMOVING THE GLASS AND LOGS ON PAGES 26 THROUGH 28 THEN BLEED THE GAS LINE.

A Push the gas control knob in

slightly and turn it to the "OFF" position. The knob will not turn from "ON" to "OFF" unless the knob is depressed slightly.

B Wait five minutes to let any

gas that may have accumulated inside the firebox escape. If you smell gas, follow the directions on the cover "IF YOU SMELL GAS".

C Turn the gas control knob to

the "PILOT" position and press the knob in, this will allow gas to flow to the pilot light. Press the red button on the pilot igniter repeatedly until you see the pilot light. KEEP THE GAS CONTROL KNOB DEPRESSED FOR 30 SECONDS ONCE IT IS LIT. NOTE: IF THE

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".

Turning the Heater On and Off

After the pilot has been started...

For systems with thermostats, use this switch to control the temperature (right is hotter, left cooler). Some systems require the on/off switch to be on.

Use this switch to turn the main burner on and off manually.

See the instructions included with the remote for changing the battery.

See the instructions included with the remote for details on operation.

! Do not place any combustible items on top of or directly in front of the heater, even temporarily.

The optional thermostat may start the heater causing a combustible item to ignite.

? If the heater turns on and off frequently while using the thermostat, you may want to adjust the flame

height down until it produces just enough heat needed.

Adjusting the Flame Height

PAGE 28 MAINTAINING YOUR HEATER

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.

1 Check 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.

2 Shut 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).

3 Remove 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.

4 Clean 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.

5 Replace 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.

6 Inspect 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.

7 Start 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.

8 Remove 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.

PILOT ADJ

The ON/OFF switch, remote control, or thermostat control the circuit to the main burner.

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.

PILOT ADJ

VENT

OFF

External Shut Off Valve

This valve is placed on the gas line to shut off gas to the appliance during maintenance procedures.

Thermocouple

The thermocouple generates a small amount of electricity. If the pilot flame goes out, the gas valve automatically shuts 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.

Thermostat (Part # 99300650)

! Do not connect 110-120 VAC to the gas control valve or wiring of this unit. 1 Expose the back of the on/off switch (on inserts it is on the upper right corner of the surround panels,

on stoves it is on the upper left corner of the rear panel). Remove the green jumper wire and attach the thermostat wire to the back of the on/off switch (see the illustration below).

Remove the green

jumper wire.

Attach the quick connects from the wire to the two posts on the on/off switch.

2 On 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).

3 Cut 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.

Expose 1/2" of wire and attach

to the two connections on the back of the thermostat (use a screwdriver). Orientation does not matter.
