department
This unit must be installed by a qualified installer to prevent the possibility of an explosion. Your dealer will know the requirements in your area and can inform you of those people considered qualified. 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 CONTROL

CONVERTED FOR
NATURAL GAS
THIS CONTROL
HAS BEEN
CONVERTED TO
LP
This heater is either approved for natural gas (NG) or for 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.
Ok
Gas
Contact your local building officials to obtain a permit and information on any installation restrictions or inspection requirements in your area. Notify your insurance company of this heater as well.
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 store or use gasoline or other flammable liquids in the vicinity of this heater.
?
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.
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 use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.
Travis Industries 4020812 93508110
Safety Precautions 3
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.
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.
Do not operate with the glass removed or damaged.
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.
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.
Allow the heater to cool before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning.
The pilot flame must contact the thermopile and thermocouple (see the illustration to the left). 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 touch the hot surfaces of the heater. Educate all children of the danger of a high­temperature heater. Young children should be supervised when they are in the same room as the heater.
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.
This Manual
36"
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.
Keep all furniture or other combustible items at least 36" away from the front of the fireplace (this includes drapes or doors that may swing within 36" of the front of the fireplace).
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).
