4 Safety Precautions

• IF YOU SMELL GAS:

* 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.

Ok

Look for this label:

For LPG only | Pout 11” W.C.

If the label is present, the
heater is equipped for LP
(propane). If the label is
absent, the heater is equipped
for NG (natural 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.

• 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.

• 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 store or use gasoline
or other flammable liquids in
the vicinity of this heater.

Gas

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

Travis Industries 4041028 100-01151

Safety Precautions 5

• 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.

• 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.

• Children and adults should

be alerted to the hazards of
high surface temperature
and should stay away to
avoid burns or clothing
ignition. 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.

10 Installation (for qualified installers only)

Gas Line Installation

! This appliance must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, follow ANSI Z223.1

and NFPA 54(88) in the USA and B-149 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.

• Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior to and after starting the heater.

Gas Line Connection

• The location of the gas inlet is shown below

• A manual shutoff valve is required within 3’ of the fireplace. It should be placed upstream of

the flex line (if used) and may be installed behind the access door inside the heater. ). T-

Handle gas cocks are required in Massachusetts in compliance with code 248CMR.

A 6" wide opening is provided on the left side, 3" behind the fireplace opening. It is 3" tall.

Shutoff Valve

With the 8" pipe nipple installed,
the inlet is approximately 15"
from the center of the
appliance.

Shutoff Valve

8" Gas Inlet Pipe (shipped with the

insert in the accessory pack)

The gas inlet on the gas control valve is
located 3-5/8" behind the fireplace
opening, 7-3/4" to the left of the center,
and 1-7/8" above the base of the
appliance.

Apply thread sealant to
both ends of the pipe prior
to installation.

Gas Control Valve

Fuel

• 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.

Gas Inlet Pressure

Standard Input Pressure
Natural Gas 7" W.C. (1.74 kPA)
Propane 13" W.C. (2.73 kPA)

• 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 above. Contact the local gas supplier if the
regulator is at an improper pressure.

Travis Industries 4041028 100-01151

Installation (for qualified installers only) 11

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.

! Make sure the exhaust pipe on the heater connects to the exhaust portion of the cap. The

illustrations below show how the flex liners should be attached.

• The exhaust vent must reline the entire length of the chimney and terminate above the chimney top

! Be careful not to crimp or rupture the liner when bending it into chimney offsets

• When installed, the vent must meet all of the vent
manufacturer's requirements

• Make sure to order the following:

-4” UL 441 Gas Liner for Exhaust, 3” UL 441 Gas Liner

for Air Inlet

- 6-5/8” to 3” & 4” Co-Linear Adapter & Flashing

(Travis Part # 98900124).

- Vertical Termination Cap (Dura-Vent pt # 991)

Altitude Considerations

Max. Ht. 35'
Min. Ht. 8'

Exhaust
(4" dia.)

Inlet
(3" dia.)

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. 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 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.

Vent Restrictor

WARNING: Restrictor adjustment should

only be done by a qualified installer.
Only those installations determined to

be over-drafting require this
adjustment. The best indication of
over-drafting is a hyper-active flame
pattern (flames that move too quickly).
If the air shutter is constricted, the
flames become short and yellow, yet
still very active. Over-drafting may
affect the pilot, but this is not the best
way to determine over-drafting. Over­drafting is most likely in tall venting
configurations (especially if using an
“Exhaust Only Re-Line”). Do not
over-restrict the vent (this leads to
ghosting or lifting flames - reduce
restrictor setting).

To Adjust the Restrictor:

1

Determine a restrictor position. Start low(move
the restrictor a maximum two positions at a time)
and thoroughly test the heater before adjusting further.

2

Remove the screw with a 1/4" nutdriver (or screwdriver).

3

Rotate the adjustment plate clockwise until the correct index hole is below the pivot point.

4

Insert the screw into the correct index hole and tighten.

! 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 Turn on gas to the heater. Leak test all gas joints prior to starting the appliance. Start the pilot (see

page 23).

Warning: When lighting or re-lighting the pilot, the glass must be removed (see

page 23 for the full set of instructions on starting the pilot).

4 Replace the glass (see page 17). Start the main burner. Leak test all gas joints again.
5 Install the faceplate following the instructions included with the face (shut off the insert if necessary).
! 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 or nickel face may develop a permanent tarnish when the acid evaporates over time. Contact
your dealer if uncertain your facing has been properly neutralized.

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, turn this screw. Clockwise
lowers the flame while counter-clockwise raises it.

Standard
Screwdriver

The pilot flame must contact the thermocouple and
thermopile (see the illustration below). Adjust the pilot up or
down as necessary.

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.

There are two air shutters on this fireplace - adjust both air shutters to obtain the correct flame.

Move the controls left or right until the flame
looks correct. The rear air shutter affects
the rear portion of the burner, the front air
shutter the front portion of the burner.
Pushing to the right gives the flame less air
(making it more orange). Pushing to the left
gives the flame more air, making it more
blue.

NOTE: If the air control is all the way open,
yet the flames remain sooty, shut off gas to
the fireplace and contact a qualified gas
service technician.

Rear Air

Shutter Control

NOTE: The logs must be installed correctly to
monitor the flame while adjusting the air shutter.

Front Air Shutter

Control

Correct

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

Not Enough Air

If the flames are over 14" tall or sooty on
the ends, open the air shutter.

Too Much Air

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

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

contact the Travis Dealer for instructions.

! If the vent configuration is installed incorrectly the vent may cause the flames inside the heater 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 heater and
contact the dealer for information on remedying the problem.

! This heater has been tested at altitudes up to 8,000 feet. In this testing we have found that the

heater, with its standard orifice, burns correctly with just an air shutter adjustment.

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

safety hazard. Consult your dealer if you suspect an improperly adjusted air
shutter.

Burner Ports

(holes)

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

Operation 23

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 17).

a Remove the glass (see page 17 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".

EXTINCTION POPS- It is not uncommon to have a small "pop" moments after shutting the heater off

(and in some cases, on). This is more common on LP heaters. If you are
concerned, contact your dealer for evaluation.

! Do not place any combustible items on top of or directly in front of the heater, even temporarily. The

optional thermostat may start the heater causing a combustible item to ignite.

• If the heater turns on and off frequently while using the thermostat, you may want to adjust the flame
height down until it produces just enough heat needed.

26 Maintenance

AA

Maintaining Your Heater's Appearance

! Fingerprints or other marks left on the optional gold or nickel surface may become etched in place if

they are not wiped clean prior to turning the stove on. Clean the gold or nickel with denatured alcohol
and a soft cloth (make sure the heater is cool). Other cleaners may leave a film that may become
etched into the gold or nickel.

Yearly Service Procedure

! 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 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 heater by turning the gas control knob to "OFF" (see step A under "Starting the

Pilot" on page 23). Let the heater cool for 15 minutes. Remove the faceplate (see instructions
included with face) and glass (see page 17).

3 Remove the log set (NOTE: the logs are very fragile - see page 19). 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 heater will require adjustment. Contact your dealer.

4 Clean the burner (especially the burner holes) and inspect the following:

• Check the burner for cracks, deterioration, or warping

• 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.

Check the
burner
holes.

Make sure the burner
is not warped or
damaged.

Before Disassembly - Check
the pilot flame. It should touch
the thermocouple and
thermopile.

Thermopile

Pilot Hood

Thermocouple

5 Replace the log set. Replace the glass. 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. If the glass or glass
frame is damaged, replace it.

6 Inspect behind the access door. Clean if necessary. Check the gas control valve and gas lines. If

damage is found, discontinue use and contact dealer for service. Clean the air channels and ducts.

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 Remove any debris or vegetation near the vent termination. Contact your dealer if any sooting or

deterioration is found near the vent termination.

28 Maintenance

How this Heater Works

! 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.
The ON/OFF switch,
remote control, or
thermostat control
the circuit to the main
burner.

ON

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.
