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.

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 for a label on the flame adjust knob on the gas control valve (this is the best place to check). You may also check for a label on the gas control valve body.

• 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.

• 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 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.

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.

• Light the heater using the built-in igniter. Do not use matches or any other external device to light your heater.

• Allow the heater to cool before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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 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.

• 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).

• Plug the heater into a 120V grounded electrical outlet. Do not remove the grounding plug.

• Don’t route the electrical cord in front of, over, or under the heater

 Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room as the

appliance. Toddlers, young children and others may be susceptible to accidental contact burns. A physical barrier is recommended if there are at risk individuals in the house. To restrict access to a fireplace or stove, install an adjustable safety gate to keep toddlers, young children and other at risk individuals out of the room and away from hot surfaces.

! The gas line must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, follow current ANSI

Z223.1 or NFPA 54 in the USA and the current CSA B149.1 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.

• This heater is designed for natural gas but can be converted to propane. Check the sticker on top of the gas control valve to verify the correct fuel is used (see page 4).

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

• The location of the gas inlet is shown below.

• A manual shutoff valve is required for installation (it must be located within 3’ of the heater).

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

• This stove is shipped with a 24” long, 3/8” diameter flex gas line attached to an elbow on the gas control valve (see illustration below for location). The flex accepts a 3/8” flare fitting.

Gas Inlet Pressure

• With the heater off, the inlet pressure must meet the requirements listed in the table below.

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

Altitude Considerations

• 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.

• This heater has been tested at

altitudes ranging from sea level to 6,000 feet (1,800 M). In this testing we have found that the heater, with its standard orifice, burns correctly with just an air shutter adjustment.

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)

Installation (for qualified installers only)

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 its own separate vent system.

 In addition to the requirements listed here, follow the requirements provided with the vent.  When the vent passes through a wall a wall thimble is required. When the vent passes through a

ceiling a support box or firestop is required. When the vent passes through the roof, a roof flashing and storm collar are required. Follow the instructions provided with the vent for installing these items. NOTE: Wall thimbles may have different dimensions than what is required by this heater.

• The vent must maintain the required 1" clearance to combustible materials to prevent a fire. Do not fill air spaces with insulation.

Approved Vent

 Use 6-5/8" (168mm) diameter Simpson Dura-Vent Direct-Vent Pro (or GS)*.

* Other vent may be approved with this stove. Check with the vent manufacturer for details.

The included rock wool is placed on top of the burner to enhance the glow from the burner. The rock wool works best when it is applied in a very thin, porous layer. The best method for applying the

rock wool is to brush it on to the burner. Compress a clump of rockwool between your thumb and forefinger. Use a stiff brush to apply a thin layer of rockwool fibers onto the burner. Do not use the entire bag of rockwool. Use only a small amount and save the remainder. Over-use of rockwool will diminish the glow and may cause sooting or other adverse conditions.

Before You Begin

Warning: Read this entire manual before you use your new stove (especially the section "Safety

Precautions" on pages 4 & 5). Failure to follow the instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.

Warning: Do not operate appliance with the glass front removed, cracked or broken. Replacement of

the glass should be done by a licensed or qualified service person.

Location of Controls - See explanation below

32 Operation

The rear portion of the burner may be shut off to lower the heat output and flame size from the burner (this is called the comfort control). Use the comfort control switch to adjust this as desired.

This stove has an adjustable flame to tailor the look and heat output to your specific needs. It is adjusted by turning the flame adjust knob.

Starting the Stove for the First Time

 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.

 Condensation may appear on the glass each time you start the stove - this is normal.  Blue Flames will occur on the stove when it first comes on. After fifteen minutes the flames will turn

a more realistic yellow and orange color.

 Certain installations use a remote, thermostat, or wall switch to turn the stove on and off. If this is the

case, leave the ON/OFF switch "ON".

 Verify the power backup and control light batteries are installed (see page 35).

Turning the Stove On and Off

Use the main burner switch to turn the main burner on and off.

NOTE FOR REMOTES, THERMOSTATS, OR WALL SWITCHES: The on/off switch on the stove may be required to be left in the ON or OFF position for the stove to operate. Consult your installer or dealer for details.

 Do not place any combustible items on top of or directly in front of the stove, even temporarily.

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

 If the stove turns on and off frequently while using a standard thermostat, you may want to adjust

the flame height down until it produces just enough heat needed.

Operation 33

This stove has a built-in accent light that may be turned on and off and dimmed to your preference. Turn the knob to achieve the desired light output.

This stove may run with the pilot continuously running or in GreenSmart (intermittent) mode. For most homeowners, the GreenSmart mode is preferred (this saves fuel, doesn’t give off un-needed heat). However, in some situations the homeowner may prefer to switch the stove to continuous pilot. The most typical reasons for switching to continuous pilot are:

Accent Light

Adjusting the Optional Blower Speed

The blower helps transfer heat from the heater into the room. It will not turn on until the heater is up to temperature (approximately 15 minutes after starting). See the illustration below for instructions on adjusting the blower speed. NOTE: With the rear burner off (comfort control), the heater may not become hot enough for the

blower to turn on.

Continuous Pilot / GreenSmart™ Pilot Switch

 Very Cold Conditions – in very cold conditions you may notice that the burner does not light quickly,

and the flames lift off the burner. If this is situation, we recommend you switch to continuous pilot. This will create a slight draft in the vent, allowing for the burner to light quickly and draft correctly.

 Excessive Condensation on Glass After Startup – certain installations may encounter excessive

fogging on the window after startup (not just the first time the stove was started). This is an aesthetic condition that may be remedied by switching the stove to continuous pilot.

 Cold Glass or Stove Front – in very cold conditions you may notice that the stove front and glass

become very cold. To remedy this, switch the stove to continuous pilot.

 Frequent On / Off Operation – if you are frequently turning the stove on and off, you may wish to

leave it in continuous pilot. This allows the burner to turn on more quickly, without pilot ignition delay.

34 Operation

Normal Operating Sounds

Normal Operating Odors

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

Maintenance (for qualified service personnel only) 35

Maintaining Your Stove's Appearance

Painted Surfaces

• Painted surfaces should be cleaned with a duster. If scratches occur, lightly sand the area with fine sandpaper. Clean the area and, with the stove cool, apply one or two thin coats of stove paint to the area (mask the area to avoid overspray). Allow the stove to dry, then turn the stove on to cure the paint (1 hour on medium).

Enamel Surfaces

• Use only soft cloth and water to clean enamel surfaces. To fix chips in the enamel, follow the directions below:

1) Let the stove cool. Clean the area thoroughly.

2) Shake the Travis Enamel Touch-Up thoroughly. Apply to the damaged area.

Patina Surfaces

• The patina finish is a “living” color and will age and antique over time. Some portions of the finish may become

slightly dull in appearance, especially over the top where it becomes hot. This is normal. The only cleaning we recommend is a light dusting when the appliance is cool.

DO NOT USE ANY LIQUID, CLEANER, OR ABRASIVES ON THIS FINISH.

Glass

• Clean the glass with soap and water (do not use abrasive cleaners). Glass removal instructions are on page 25.

Battery Replacement

Power Backup Batteries

Four AA batteries are used as a power backup for the stove in case the household (AC) power goes out. They also power the comfort control feature. These batteries must be inserted into battery holder (make sure they contact the terminals - see the illustration below). The fireplace controller will beep once these batteries start to go dead. Replace batteries before each heating season to insure proper operation.

Control Panel Light Battery

LED lights and a 9v battery are used to illuminate the control panel when the concealment cover is lifted. If the LED lights do not operate, replace the 9v battery (see the illustration below). Velcro is provided to secure the 9v battery.

36 Maintenance (for qualified service personnel only)

Accent Light Replacement

An accent light is included in your stove to provide additional lighting. This bulb will burn out over time. To replace, follow the directions below:

• Shut off gas to the stove and let it cool for 15 minutes.

• Remove the glass (see page 25) and lo gs (see page 27).

• Replace the halogen bulb with the following bulb:

(NOTE the bulb):

35 Watt 120 Volt T4 Halogen Bulb (G6.35 Base)

: .Take care to not touch the bulb with your fingers – use foam packing or paper towel to hold

Yearly Service Procedure

• Failure to inspect and maintain the stove may lead to impro per combustion and a potentially dangerous situation. We recommend the following procedures be done by a qualified technician.

1. Turn the pilot flame to continuous. It should touch approximately 3/8" of the top of the flame sensor. If it does not, contact your dealer for service.

2. Shut off gas to the stove and let it cool for 15 minutes. Remove the glass (see page 25).

3. Remove the log set (NOTE: The logs are very fragile - see page 27). 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 stove will require adjustment. Contact your dealer.

4. Inspect the burner and remove any debris.

• Make sure the burner is not warped, cracked, or damaged.

• Check the firebox and area aroun d the pilot to make sure there is no warping or damage.

• If any problem is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service.

5. Replace the log set. Clean and replace the glass. If the glass is damaged, replace. Make sure the ga sket 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 ensure an air-tight seal.

6. Inspect the area behind the access door. Clean if necessary. Check the gas control valve and the gas lines. If damage is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service. Clean the air channels, ducts, and blower (if applicable).

7. Start the main burner. Inspect the main burner and pilot flame. After 15 minutes 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 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. Venting system should be examined by a qualified agency.
