* Do not light any appliance * Extinguish any open flame * Do not touch any electrical switch or plug or unplug anything * Open windows and vacate building * Call gas supplier from neighbor's house, if not reached, call fire

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 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.

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

• 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).

Altitude Considerations (Rear Vent Configuration)

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.

Approved Vent Configurations (Rear Vent Configuration)

• The vent must terminate horizontally.

Clearances and Installation Requirements (Rear Vent Configuration)

• 3” Clearance above the pipe to combustibles.

• 1-1/2” Clearance below and to the sides of the pipe to combustibles.

• When vent passes through a wall, the wall thimble is required (included with Kit A or Kit B).

Use the DVL FP Rear Vent thimble when passing through a wall. NOTE: make sure the firestop is postitioned correctly so the 3" clearance is allowed above the vent.

• Apply high-temperature silicone to the inner and outer pipe before assembling the sections (on the male section). This seals the inner pipe from the outer pipe. Slide the sections together and turn 1/4 turn until the sections lock in place. Install three metal screws through each joint to lock the outer section in place (see the instructions included with the vent for further details).

• Horizontal sections require a 1/4" rise every 12" of travel

• Horizontal sections require non-combustible support every

three feet (e.g.: plumbing tape)

Silicone

Apply a 1/8" (3 mm) bead of hightemperature silicone to the inner and outer pipe. The silicone must seal the inner pipe from the outer pipe.

• In 99% of DVL Fireplace installations, restrictor adjustment is not necessary. Only those installations determined to be over-drafting require this adjustment. The best indication of over-drafting is a hyperactive flame pattern (flames that move too quickly). If the air shutter is constricted, the flames become short and yellow, yet still very active. If over-drafting is determined, follow the directions below to adjust the restrictor. Try position two first. If still over-drafting, try position three.

? If converting this unit to propane, do so now (see the instructions on page 46). 2 Install the rock wool, log set, kibbles, and embers (if using the decorative fireback, install it prior to the

log set - page 51).

Warning: Failure to position the parts in accordance with these diagrams or failure to use only parts

specifically approved with this appliance may result in property damage or personal injury.

Preparing the Metallic Wool Ember Strips (Optional):

The metallic wool comes in a single piece. Stretch the wool

thin as possible (nearly transparent) to form three strips

as of the following sizes:

One Strip Approximately

7-1/2” by 1-1/2”

There may be extra material save it for future use.

Embedding Embers into the Front Log (optional)

Pull off a thin mat of metallic wool. Place it in front of the front log directly above the front burner. Use a small pocket knife or micro screwdriver to pierce the log and “embed” the metallic wool fibers into the log material (pierce the log approximately 1/8”). Pull the material away to leave a few strands embedded into the log.

Repeat this process to embed several fibers into the log material.

Metallic Wool Fibers

Two Strips Approximately

3” by 1-1/2”

Front Log Directly Above Front Burner

Place the ember strips on the grate as shown in this illustration. The front strip should hang half way over the burner.

Place the log set on the grate. Position the logs so the rear corners rest against the log stops.

Grate

Tuck the front of the ember strip down, behind the burner with a screwdriver. Make sure the mat of ember wool is not over the burner holes. Tuck it behind the burner tube if necessary.

Note how only a few “whiskers” are over the burner holes.

Side View

Place the optional kibbles in front of the firebox. Do not place the kibbles directly over the burner holes.

34 Finalizing the Installation (for qualified installers only)

! 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 Replace the glass. 4 Install the faceplate. ! ACID WASH WARNING : Before installing the faceplate, make sure any masonry that has been

treated with acid wash has been properly neutralized (this is used primarily with brick faces). Acid wash

(muriatic acid) is used to remove excess mortar. If not properly neutralized with an ammonia solution,

the gold face may develop a permanent tarnish when the acid evaporates over time. Contact your

dealer if uncertain your facing has been properly neutralized. 5 Turn on the gas to the fireplace. Turn on gas to the heater. Leak test all gas joints prior to starting the

appliance. Start the pilot (see page 37). Start the main burner. Leak test all gas joints again. 6 Check the pilot flame to make sure it looks like the illustration below. Adjust the pilot flame if

necessary.

To adjust the pilot flame, remove the cover screw and gasket and turn the needle valve (NOTE: if the needle valve is totally unscrewed, gas will come out of this port). Clockwise lowers the flame while counterclockwise raises it. Replace the cover screw and gasket.

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.

Loosen the nut on the air shutter control. Move the control left or right until the flame looks correct. Pushing to the right gives the flame more air (making it bluer). Pushing to the left cuts air down, making it more orange.

3/8" Nutdriver

NOTE: If the air control is all the way open, yet the flames remain sooty, shut off gas to the appliance and contact the Travis Dealer for instructions

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

If the flames are over 12" tall or sooty on the ends, push the lever to the right.

Not Enough Air Too Much Air

If the flames are all blue and short, push the lever to the left.

! If the air shutter is in its fully open position, yet the flames remain sooty, shut off gas to the heater and

contact your Travis Industries Dealer for a remedy. ! If the vent configuration is installed incorrectly the vent may cause the flames inside the fireplace to lift

or "ghost" – a dangerous situation. Inspect the flames after installation to insure proper performance.

If the vent configuration is correct, yet the flames are lifting or ghosting, shut off gas to the fireplace

and contact the dealer for information on remedying the problem. ! This fireplace has been tested at altitudes up to 8,000 feet. In this testing we have found that the

fireplace, with its standard orifice, burns correctly with just an air shutter adjust. If local codes require

resizing the orifice, in the U.S.A. refer to ANSI 223.1, Appendix P, in Canada B-149.1 or B-149.2

! Failure to properly adjust the air shutter may lead to improper combustion and a

safety hazard. Consult your dealer or installer if you suspect an improperly

adjusted air shutter.

Burner Ports (holes)

Burner Tube

The flames should burn right off the top of the burner ports (if they are too blue, adjust the air control).

If the flames are lifting, yet the vent configuration is correct, contact your dealer.

If the flames are ghosting, yet the vent configuration is correct, contact your dealer.

8 Turn the flame adjust knob to its highest position - the flames should be approximately 12" tall. Check

the flame on low position. The flames should burn off of each burner hole. If the heater does not work

correctly, contact your dealer for a remedy.

Operation 37

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 glass must be removed

(see page 32). a Remove the glass (see page 32 for details). b 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. Wait five minutes to let

any gas that may have accumulated inside

the firebox escape. If you smell leaking 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

button on the pilot igniter repeatedly until

you see the pilot light.

WARNING:

If the pilot does not light after 15

seconds, release the knob and call

your dealer for service. Do not

attempt to light pilot until service

has been performed.

38 Operation

Starting the Fireplace for the First Time

! Fingerprints or other marks left on the optional gold surface may become etched in place if they are not wiped

clean prior to turning the heater on. Clean gold with denatured alcohol and a soft cloth (make sure the fireplace is

cool). Other cleaners may leave a film that may become etched into the gold.

+ Burn the heater at a high setting with the blower off for an extended period (up to 48 hours). This will

cure the painted surfaces. Fumes from the paint curing and oil burning off the steel will occur. This is

normal. We recommend opening a window to vent the room. + Dust may accumulate inside the convection area of the heater when left idle. Once the heater is re-

started, a “smoky” smell may be created (similar to a baseboard heater when it is re-started).

+ Condensation may appear on the glass each time you start the fireplace - this is normal. + Blue Flames will occur on the fireplace 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 fireplace on and off. If this is the case, leave

the ON/OFF switch "ON".

Turning the Fireplace On and Off

After the pilot has been started...

For systems with wall 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.

Maintaining Your Fireplace's Appearance

! Fingerprints or other marks left on the optional gold surface may become etched in place if they are not wiped

clean prior to turning the heater on. Clean gold with denatured alcohol and a soft cloth (make sure the fireplace is

cool). Other cleaners may leave a film that may become etched into the gold.

• Clean the glass with soap and water (do not use abrasive cleaners). To remove the glass, follow the instructions

on page 32.

Yearly Service Procedure

! Failure to inspect and maintain the fireplace may lead to improper combustion and a potentially dangerous

situation. The following procedures must be done by a qualified technician. 1 Check the pilot flame. It should touch approximately 3/8" of the top of the thermopile and touch the top of the

thermocouple (see illustration below). If it does not, contact your dealer for service. 2 Shut off gas to the fireplace by turning the gas control knob to "OFF" (see step A under "Starting the Pilot" on

page 37). Let the fireplace cool for 15 minutes. Remove the faceplate (see instructions included with face) and

glass (see page 32). 3 Remove the log set (NOTE: the logs are very fragile - see page 33). If severely deteriorated, replace.

Check the logs for sooting. A small amount of soot along the bottom of the logs is normal. If excessive sooting

is found, the fireplace will require adjustment. Contact your dealer. 4 Clean the burner tube (especially the burner holes) and inspect the following:

• Check the burner for cracked holes, warpage, or corrosion.

• 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

Check the burner holes.

5 Replace the log set. Replace the glass (if the glass is damaged, replace it). Make sure the gasket along the

perimeter of the glass contacts the face of the firebox and forms an air-tight seal. If it does not, re-align or

replace the gasket to insure an air-tight seal. Replace the faceplate. 6 Inspect the area behind the access door. Clean if necessary. 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 Inspect the glass. If damage is found, replace the glass (with frame) with Travis Industries glass assembly

(glass installation is on page 32). 9 Remove any debris or vegetation near the vent termination. Contact your dealer if any sooting or deterioration is

found near the vent termination. 10 Inspect the vent sections. If any sections are disconnected or require replacement, make sure to seal both

inner and outer sections of pipe and secure the sections together with three sheet metal screws.

42 Maintenance (for qualified service personnel only)

How this Fireplace Works

! This fireplace was designed with safety as the primary concern. Many of the components inside this

fireplace are for safety purposes. Therefore, only certified gas service technicians should service this

fireplace.

What Turns the Main Burners On and Off

This fireplace 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 fireplace on and off, this fireplace 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. The ON/OFF switch, remote control, or thermostat control the circuit to the main burner.

MAIN BURNER

OFF

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

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 from temperature changes.
