Installation Preparation
HINT:If converting to LP, convert the appliance prior to installation.
HINT:If using the gold trivet, install in first (before installing the vent).
HINT:Install the logs last - they are fragile.
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:Fumes and smoke from the paint curing and oil burning off the steel may occur the first time
you start this heater. This is normal. We recommend you open windows to vent the room.

Installation (for qualified installers only)7
Heater Placement Requirements
¥Heater must be installed on a level surface capable of supporting the heater and vent
¥Due to the high temperature of the heater, it should be located out of traffic and away from
furniture and draperies. Heater must be placed so no combustibles are within, or can
swing within 36Ó of the front of the heater (e.g. drapes, doors)
?When placed in a location where the floor to ceiling height is under 7 feet, the installation
is considered an alcove and must meet the following requirements:
¥The alcove floor to ceiling height must be at least 60Ó tall
¥The alcove must not be more than 48Ó deep before the ceiling returns to 7Õ
¥The alcove must be at least 48Ó wide
¥The heater must not be placed so the vents below or above the door, along the sides of
heater, or along the back of the heater can become blocked.
Floor Protection Requirements
¥When the stove is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl or other combustible material other
than wood flooring or a high pressure laminate wood floor, the stove must be installed on
a metal or wood protection panel extending the full width and depth of the heater
(Minimum 28Ó wide by 21-1/2Ó deep).
Gas Line Installation
!The gas line must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, follow
current ANSI Z223.1 or NFPA 54 in the USA and the current CGA B149 in Canada.
!The heater and gas control valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.45 kPA). For
pressures under 1/2 psig (3.45 kPA), isolate the gas supply piping by closing the manual
shutoff valve.
¥This heater is designed for natural gas but can be
converted to propane. Check the sticker on the
top of the gas control valve to make sure the
correct fuel is used.
¥Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control
valve prior to and after starting the heater.
Center
¥The gas inlet accepts a 3/8Ó F.P.T. Fitting
of
Heater
¥The location of the gas inlet is shown below
¥A manual shutoff valve is required for installation
(it must be located within 3Õ of the heater)
Gas Inlet Pressure
¥With the heater off, the inlet pressure must meet
the requirements listed in the table below
?If the pressure is not sufficient, make sure the piping used is large enough and the total
gas load for the residence does not exceed the amount supplied.
?The supply regulator (the regulator that attaches directly to the residence inlet or to the
propane tank) should supply gas at the suggested input pressure listed below. Contact
the local gas supplier if the regulator is at an improper pressure.
!Always maintain the required 1Ó clearance (air space) to combustible materials to prevent a fire hazard.
Do not fill air spaces with insulation.
!The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, and never
be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance. Each direct vent gas
appliance must use itÕs own separate vent system.
Altitude Considerations
¥When installed with a horizontal
termination at an altitude above
2,000Õ, the main burner orifice may
need to be de-rated. See the
information on page 11 for full details.
!Failure to adjust the air shutter
properly may lead to improper
combustion which can create a safety
hazard. Consult your dealer or
installer if you suspect an improperly
adjusted air shutter.
¥When the vent passes through a wall,
a wall thimble is required. When the
vent passes through a ceiling, a

Approved Vent Configurations
Restrictor Position
¥A vent restrictor is built
into the appliance to
control the flow rate of
exhaust gases. This
ensures proper flames
for the wide variety of
vent configurations. The
restrictor consists of a
butterfly valve in the air
inlet and an adjustment
plate with index holes
used to hold the valve in
a fixed position.
Depending upon the
vent configuration, you
may be required to adjust
the restrictor position.
The charts for approved
vent configurations
describe which position
the vent restrictor must
be in.

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, the
propane tank runs out (or low) or if the stove
malfunctions. If the pilot turns off frequently,
call your dealer for information. To start the
pilot follow the directions below:
WARNING :
When lighting or re-lighting the
pilot, the door must be opened (see

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. With the heater cool, clean gold surfaces with denatured alcohol
and a soft cloth.
Fumes from the Painted Surfaces Curing
Burn the heater at a medium setting for approximately one hour the first time. This will cure the
painted surfaces. Fumes from the paint curing and oil burning off the steel may occur. This is
normal. We recommend you open the window to vent the room.
Condensation
Water may appear on the glass each time you start the heater - this is normal.

Yearly Service Procedure
Warning 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 3/8Ó 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 ÒOFFÓ (see step A under ÒStarting the
PilotÓ on page 19). Let the heater cool for 15 minutes. Open the door (see page 16).
3Remove the log set and embers (see page 17 - NOTE: the log set is fragile). If any log is
cracked or deteriorated, replace it when re-installing. Check the logs for sooting. If excessive sooting
is found, the heater will require adjustment. Contact your dealer.
4Clean the burner tube (especially in the burner holes and slots) and inspect the following:
¥Check for burner tube holes that are cracked, severely warped, or corroded.
¥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
touch the top 3/8Ó of the thermopile and thermocouple.
Thermopile
3/8Ó
Pilot Hood
Thermocouple
Check the walls and ceiling of the firebox for

Check the burner holes.
Make sure the
burner pan is not
warped or

5Replace the log set. Inspect the glass gasket. If it is deteriorated, replace. If the glass is damaged,
replace it.
6Check the gas control valve and all of the gas lines. If any damage is found, discontinue use and
contact your dealer for service.
7To check the door seal, place a dollar bill along the door perimeter then close and latch the door. If the
dollar bill is held in place securely, the door seal is adequate. However, it the dollar bill slides out
easily, you should adjust the door. Contact your dealer to obtain directions on tightening the door
seal.
Travis Industries93508107100201
Maintenance23
8Start 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.
9Remove 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
Warning 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 or burner from spilling gas into the firebox.
ON
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
damaged or sensing a malfunction, or if the
wiring is damaged, it will shut off all gas.
