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 and cleaned 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.

Safety Precautions

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 conducting service. Do not operate with cracked, broken, or removed glass.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

Operation

Starting the Fireplace 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 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, thermostat, or wall switch to turn the fireplace 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 11).

Turning the Fireplace On and Off

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

MAIN

BURNER

OFF

NOTE FOR REMOTES, THERMOSTATS, OR WALL SWITCHES:

The on/off switch on the fireplace may be required to be left in the ON or OFF position for the fireplace to operate. Consult your installer or dealer for details.

•Do not place any combustible items on top of or directly in front of the fireplace, even temporarily. An optional thermostat may start the fireplace causing a combustible item to ignite.

•If the fireplace 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.

Comfort Control

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.

Operation

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

This fireplace 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 fireplace to continuous pilot. The most typical reasons for switching to continuous pilot are:

•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 stuartup (not just the first time the fireplace was started). This is an aesthetic condition that may be remedied by switching the fireplace to continuous pilot.

•Cold Glass or Fireplace Front – in very cold conditions you may notice that the fireplace front and glass become very cold. To remedy this, switch the fireplace to continuous pilot.

•Frequent On / Off Operation – if you are frequently turning the fireplace 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.
