4 Safety Precautions

Safety Warnings:

• Failure to follow all of the requirements may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.

• This unit must be installed by a qualified installer to prevent the possibility of an explosion.

• This appliance must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, in U.S.A. follow ANSI

Z223.1 and NFPA 54(88).

• A manufactured home (USA only) or mobile home OEM installation must conform with the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280, or, when such a standard is not applicable, the Standard for Manufactured Home Installations, ANSI/NCSBCS A225.1, or Standard for Gas Equipped Recreational Vehicles and Mobile Housing, CSA Z240.4. This appliance may be installed in Manufactured Housing only after the home is site located.

• All exhaust gases must be vented outside the structure of the living-area. Combustion air is drawn from outside the living-area structure. The venting must not be connected to a chimney flue serving a separate solid-fuel burning appliance.

• Notify your insurance company before hooking up this fireplace.

• The room heater should be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified service person.

More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc.

• The instructions in this manual must be strictly adhered to. Do not use makeshift methods or compromise in the installation. Improper installation will void the warranty and safety listing.

• This heater is approved for use with natural gas (NG) or propane (LP). Burning the incorrect fuel will void the warranty and safety listing and may cause an extreme safety hazard. Direct questions about the type of fuel used to your dealer. Check the label and flame adjust knob on the gas control valve.

• Contact your local building officials to obtain a permit and information on any installation restrictions or inspection requirements in your area.

• If the flame becomes sooty, dark orange in color, or extremely tall, do not operate the heater. Call your dealer and arrange for proper servicing.

• It is imperative that control compartments, screens, or circulating air passageways of the heater be kept clean and free of obstructions. These areas provide the air necessary for safe operation.

• Do not operate the heater if it is not operating properly in any fashion or if you are uncertain. Call your dealer for a full explanation of your heater and what to expect.

• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable liquids in the vicinity of this heater.

• Do not operate if any portion of the heater was submerged in water or if any corrosion occurs.

• Do not place clothing or other flammable items on or near the heater. Because this heater can be

controlled by a thermostat there is a possibility of the heater turning on and igniting any items placed on or near it.

• Light the heater using the built-in piezo igniter. Do not use matches or any other external device to light your heater.

• Never remove, replace, modify or substitute any part of the heater unless instructions are given in this manual. All other work must be done by a trained technician. Don't modify or replace orifices.

• The viewing glass should be opened only for lighting the pilot or conducting service.

• Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing must be replaced prior to operating the heater.

Safety Precautions 5

Safety Warnings (continued):

• Allow the heater to cool before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning.

• Operate the heater according to the instructions included in this manual.

• If the main burners do not start correctly turn the gas off at the gas control valve and call your dealer for

service.

• The pilot flame must contact the thermopile and thermocouple. If it does not, turn the gas control valve to "OFF" and call your dealer.

• This unit is not for use with solid fuel.

• Do not place anything inside the firebox (except the included fiber logs).

• If the fiber logs become damaged, replace with Travis Industries log set.

• Do not throw this manual away. This manual has important operating and maintenance instructions

that you will need at a later time. Always follow the instructions in this manual.

• Do not touch the hot surfaces of the heater. Educate all children of the danger of a high-temperature heater. Young children should be supervised when they are in the same room as the heater.

• Due to the high temperature, the heater should be located out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.

• Instruct everyone in the house how to shut gas off to the appliance and at the gas main shutoff valve. The gas main shutoff valve is usually next to the gas meter or propane tank and requires a wrench to shut off.

• Travis Industries, Inc. grants no warranty, implied or stated, for the installation or maintenance of your heater, and assumes no responsibility of any consequential damage(s).

NOTE: Re-setting the Receiver Module

If the receiver module fails to synchronize with the remote or wall switch after two attempts, you should re-set the receiver module. To do this, hold down the LEARN button on the reciever for approximately 10 seconds until the receiver beeps 3 times. This indicates the receiver has been re-set and can be synchronized using the instructions above.

The receiver module has enough memory to store three remotes. If you re-synchronize the remotes, you may overwhelm the receiver memory, nullifying one of the earlier programmed remotes. In these cases, you should reset the receiver module and re-synchronize.

Vent Requirements

• 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 it's own separate vent system.

• In addition to the requirements listed here, follow the requirements provided with the vent.

• A firestop is required whenever the vent penetrates a floor or ceiling (or passes through

horizontal framing members). A thimble is required whenever the vent passes through a wall (or horizontal framing members).

• Venting installation instructions may be found at www.duravent.com. Keep the vent

instructions, along with this manual, with the appliance for future reference.

Approved Vent

• This fireplace may only use the following vent components (8-5/8” / 6” external diameter co-

axial vent). These parts are available from Travis Dealers.

Altitude Considerations

• This heater has been tested at altitudes ranging from sea level to 6,000 feet. 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.

Steps for Finalizing the Installation

WARNING: Prior to removing the glass, shut off gas to the

appliance (or remove the batteries from the battery box and shut

off electricity to the fireplace). This prevents any chance of

accidental burner ignition when accessing the firebox.

1. Remove the glass (see page 42).

NOTE: If using propane (LP) convert the appliance prior to installing the logs (see page 51

for details)..

2. We recommend you purge the gas line at this time (with the glass removed). This allows gas to

be detected once it enters the firebox, ensuring gas does not build up.

3. Install the firebacks (if applicable - see page 56) and logs (see page 43).

4. Turn on the gas to the fireplace. Turn on gas to the heater. Leak test all gas joints.

5. Replace the glass. Start the pilot.

6. Start the main burner. Leak test all gas joints again (the gas control valve and connections are

located on the exterior of the fireplace on the left side.

Finalizing the Installation (for qualified installers only) 41

7. Check the air shutter following the directions below.

Air Shutter Adjustment

Let the heater burn for fifteen minutes (make sure the logs and glass are in place). The flames should be yellow with no sooting. Adjust the air shutter, if necessary, to achieve the correct looking flame.

Correct

Flames should be blue at the base, yellow-orange on the top.

How to Adjust the Air Shutter

The air shutter is located to the left of the burner and is accessed by removing the glass frame (see the illustration below). The air shutter lever may be adjusted with the logs in place – a screwdriver of other tool may be used to “tap” the lever to the desired position. After adjusting the air shutter replace the glass and verify flame quality.

If the flames are too tall or sooty on the ends, open the air shutter.

Not Enough Air

Too Much Air

If the flames are all blue and short, close the air shutter.

Air Shutter Lever

Closed

Open

Suggested Min. Air Shutter Settings:

NG 1/8” Open (1/8” from the left)

LP 1/2” Open (1/2” from the left)

8. Adjust the flame height to its highest position - the flames should not contact the top of the

firebox. Check the flame on lowest position. The flames should burn off each burner hole. If

the heater does not work correctly, contact your Travis dealer for a remedy.

9. Give this manual to the home owner for future reference and fully explain operation of this

heater. For comprehensive operating and maintenance instructions, refer to the Owner's

Manual (part # 100-01194).

Glass Frame Removal and Installation

WARNING: Prior to removing the glass, shut off gas to the

appliance (or remove the batteries from the battery box and shut

off electricity to the fireplace). This prevents any chance of

accidental burner ignition when accessing the firebox.

Warning: The appliance must be completely cool before removing the glass.

Warning: Do not strike or slam the glass.

Lift and remove the glass frame cover. Four hooks on the sides of the coverhold it in place.

These tabs insert over posts on the fireplace and help guide the glass into place.

Use the door latch tool to pull the latch forward and away from the glass frame.

The glass frame is held in place with four latches.

REPLACING THE GLASS

Slide the glass into place and secure the four latches.

The right ember chunk is placed on the floor fireback and burner (do not cover any burner holes).

NOTE: If using the optional andirons, you may need to reposition this ember slightly.

50 Finalizing the Installation (for qualified installers only)

Ember Placement

Place the embers along the firebox floor and burner to help conceal the burner. Make sure none of the embers are directly over the burner holes. See the photo below.

Note how the embers do not cover any burner holes. Place the embers around the burner to create a realistic effect.

Rock Wool Placement

The included rock wool is placed on top of the burner to enhance the glow from the burner. The rock wool works best when it is applied in a very thin, porous layer. The best method for

applying the rock wool is to brush it on to the burner. Compress a clump of rockwool between your thumb and forefinger. Use a stiff brush to apply a thin layer of rockwool fibers onto the burner. Do not use the entire bag of rockwool. Use only a small amount and save the remainder. Over-use of rockwool will diminish the glow and may cause sooting or other adverse conditions.
