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.

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.

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 4" (102 mm) opening is provided on the left side. It is 2-1/2" (64 mm) tall.

Shutoff Valve

3-3/8"

With the optional gas inlet pipe, the inlet is located 3" (76 mm) behind the fireplace opening and 14-1/2" (318 mm) to the left of center and 1-1/2" (38 mm) above the base.

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" (76 mm) behind the fireplace opening and 7" (178 mm) to the left of the center 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.

4041213 100-01150

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:

-3” UL 441 Gas Liner for Air Inlet and Exhaust

- Dura-Vent Adapter & Flashing (part # 923GK).

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

Altitude Considerations

Max. Ht. 35' (10.7 M)

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.

Min. Ht. 8' (2.4 M)

Max. 1' (305 mm) offset

InletExhaust

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 overdrafting. Over-drafting is most likely in tall venting configurations (especially if using an “Exhaust Only Re-Line”). Do not overrestrict the vent (this leads to ghosting or lifting flames - reduce restrictor setting).

To Adjust the Restrictor:

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

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

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

Insert the screw into the correct index hole and tighten.

Rotate the adjustment plate to change the restrictor position.

! 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 22).

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

page 22 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.

20 Finalizing the Installation

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.

ADJUSTING THE AIR SHUTTER

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. For fine adjustments use a screwdriver to tap the air shutter.

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

Correct

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

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

Gas Control Valve

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

Not Enough Air

Air Shutter Control

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.

Lifting FlamesCorrect Flames

Ghosting Flames Flickering Flames

22 Operation

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 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".

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.

Turn the knob all the way counter-clockwise to turn the blower off. One click clockwise turns the blower to high speed. Turning the knob clockwise from the high position decreases the speed of the blower.

Blower This heater uses a blower to push heated air into the room. You will hear the sound of air movement that increases as the speed is increased.

The appliance will creak with change of temperature.

Extinction Pops It is not unusual, especially on Propane (LP) appliances, to experience a "pop" when the burner is shut off.

Gas Control Valve

As the gas control valve is turned on and off you will hear a dull clicking sound. This is the valve opening up and shutting down.

Blower Snap Disk This part can produce a clicking sound as it turns the blower on and off.

Normal Operating Odors

This appliance has several areas that reach high temperatures. Dust or other particles on these areas may burn and create an odor. This is normal during start-up. You may notice the smell is more acute if the appliance was left idle for a long period.

Maintenance 25

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

22). Let the heater cool for 15 minutes. Remove the faceplate (see instructions included with face) and glass (see page 16).

3 Remove the log set (NOTE: the logs are very fragile - see page 18). 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 tube (especially the burner holes) and inspect the following:

• Check for burner tube holes that are cracked, severely warped, or corroded.

• Make sure the burner assembly is not warped or damaged.

• 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 the area behind the access door. Clean if necessary. Check the gas control valve and the gas lines. If

any damage is found, discontinue use and contact your 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.

Maintenance 27

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.

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.
