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 onl) 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 Recational 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).

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 wall, floor, or ceiling (passes through framing

members). Horizontal vent less than 48" above the fireplace must use the Travis Firestop (sku 25000747 - it incorporates a 4" clearance above, 1" clearance below and to the sides of the vent). Other penetrations only require a 1" clearance and may use a standard firestop (make sure the required 1" clearance is met).

• Always use the high-wind termination (if available from the vent manufacturer).

Vent Clearances

• The vent must maintain the required clearance to combustible materials to prevent a fire. Do not fill air spaces with insulation.

• Top vent configurations use 8" or 6-5/8" diameter Simpson Dura-Vent Model GS vent. If using 6-5/8"

diameter vent, attach the 8" to 6-5/8" reducer (Travis part # 98900165) to the fireplace. NOTE: When using 6-5/8” diameter vent, make sure to accommodate the 4” clearance above the vent for the first 48” of rise (see vent clearances on page 22). Standard firestops do not include this clearance.

• Installation instructions for Simpson Dura-Vent may be found at www.duravent.com

6-5/8" Diameter Vent

Reducer - # 98900165

Vent Installation

• Slide the vent sections together and turn 1/4 turn until the sections lock in place.

• Screws are not required to secure the vent. However, three screws may be used to secure vent sections together if desired.

• High temperature sealant is recommended at the appliance starter section connection (use high-temperature silicone or Mill-Pac®).

• If disassembly is required, at time of re-assembly check to see if the vent creates a tight fit. If it does not, apply high temperature sealant to the joints of the affected sections.

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

• Horizontal sections require non-combustible support every three feet (e.g.: plumbing tape)

44 Finalizing the Installation (for qualified installers only)

Steps for Finalizing the Installation

1. Remove the glass (see page 46).

NOTE : If using propane (LP) convert the appliance prior to installing the logs.

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 logs (see page 48).

4. 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.

Starting the Pilot Flame

WARNING : When lighting or re-lighting the pilot, the glass must be removed (see page 44).

a Remove the glass (see page 44 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.

NOTE: You may wish to remove the log set to gain a better view of the pilot (see page 48).

d Keep the gas control knob depressed for 30 seconds once it is lit. e Release the gas control knob. If the pilot goes out, repeat step C. If the pilot refuses to stay lit, call

your dealer for service. With the pilot lit, proceed to step “f”.

f Replace the glass. g Turn the gas control knob counter-clockwise to "ON". The pilot is now lit and the heater can be turned

on and off.

5. Check the pilot flame following the directions below.

Pilot Flame Inspection

The pilot flame should look 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

6. Replace the glass.

7. Start the main burner (the main burner circuit is detailed on page 21). Leak test all gas joints again.

Travis Industries 4070620 100-01188_000

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

Finalizing the Installation (for qualified installers only) 45

8. 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.

If the flames are over 14" 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.

Front Air Shutter Adjustment

The front burner air shutter may be adjusted while the burner is on (take care to prevent contacting the burner area).

Front Burner Air Shutter Control

Left = Less Air

Right = More Air

NOTE: you may wish to use pliers to adjust the front air shutter. Typically, the front air shutter is fully

Rear Burner Air Shutter Control

Left = Less Air

Right = More Air

closed (left) on NG, fully open (right) on LP

9. Turn the flame adjust knob to its highest position - the flames should not contact the top of the

firebox. Check the flame on low position. The flames should burn off of each burner hole. If the heater does not work correctly, contact your Travis dealer for a remedy.

10. 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-

01189).

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 plated face may develop a permanent tarnish when the acid evaporates over time. Contact your dealer if uncertain your facing has been properly neutralized.
