Installation Preparation

HINT: If converting to LP, convert the appliance prior to installation.
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.

Mobile Home Requirements

¥ When the stove is installed in a mobile home, it must be bolted to the floor and the

appliance grounded (use the optional blower with a grounded circuit or other suitable
grounding method - current ANSI/NFPA 70 or CSA C22.1).

Travis Industries 93508102 091002

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 58Ó tall
¥ The alcove must not be more than 45Ó deep before the ceiling returns to 7Õ
¥ The alcove must be at least 42Ó 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 22-1/8Ó wide by 15-5/8Ó 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 verify the correct fuel is used.

¥ Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior

to and after starting the heater.

¥ The gas inlet accepts a 3/8Ó F.P.T. Fitting

¥ The location of the gas inlet is shown below

¥ A manual shutoff valve is required for installation (it must

be located within 3Õ (910 mm) 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.

8 Installation (for qualified installers only)

Vent Requirements

! Always maintain the required 1Ó (25 mm) 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

This heater has been tested at altitudes
ranging from sea level to 8,000 feet
(2,400 M). In this testing we have found
that the heater, with its standard orifice,
burns correctly with just an air shutter
adjustment.

! 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
support box or firestop is required.
When the vent passes through the
roof, a roof flashing and storm collar
are required. Follow the instructions

Use a roof flashing and storm collar
whenever passing through the roof

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

With the heater cool, use denatured alcohol and a soft cloth to clean gold surfaces. Other cleaners
may leave a film that may become etched into the gold.

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.

1 Check 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.

2 Shut 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).

3 Remove 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.

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.

¥ 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.

Check the walls and
ceiling of the firebox for
deterioration.

Before Disassembly: Check the pilot
flame. It should impinge the top 3/8Ó of the
thermopile and engulf the thermocouple.

Maintenance 23

7 To 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.

8 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.

9 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

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
damged or sensing a malfunction, or if the
wiring is damaged, it will shut off all gas.
