Safety Precautions 5
• The heater will not operate
during a power outage. If
a power outage does
occur, check the heater
for smoke spillage and
open a window if any
smoke spills into the room.
• Keep foreign objects out
?
of the hopper.
Mobile
Home
• Disconnect the power
cord before performing
any maintenance.
NOTE:
Turning the Mode Switch
to "OFF" does not
disconnect all power to
the heater.
• This heater must be

Installation 7
Before You Begin
READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE YOU INSTALL AND USE THIS HEATER.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE,
BODILY INJURY, OR EVEN DEATH.
Check with local building officials for any permits required for installation of this pellet heater and notify
your insurance company before proceeding with installation.
Packing List
• Thermostat & Wire • Scraper Rod Tool • Brush • Fuses (2)
Installation Options:
• Residential or Mobile Home (see the section "Mobile Home Requirements")
• Alcove Compatible (see the section "Alcove Installation")
• Horizontal or Vertical Vent
• Outside Air Compatible
• Vent with L-Vent, L-Vent Fireplace Liner, or Type A Chimney (with adapter)
Planning The Installation
HINT: Have an authorized Travis Industries dealer install this heater. If you install the heater
yourself, have your dealer review your installation plans.
HINT: Sketch out a detailed plan of the installation including dimensions. Then verify the
dimensions with the requirements listed in this manual.
HINT: When determining the location of the stove, locate the wall studs (for horizontal
penetrations) and ceiling trusses (for vertical penetrations). You may wish to adjust the
stove position slightly to ensure the vent does not intersect with a framing member.
HINT: Place the heater outside and load 10 pounds of pellets inside the hopper. Plug the
heater in and let it run on HIGH until the pellets run out. This will cure the paint and burn
off any oil on the steel, eliminating any smell inside the home.
Stove Placement
• Stove must be placed so that no combustibles are within, or can swing within (e.g. drapes,
doors), 36" of the front of the heater.
? If the stove is placed in a location where the ceiling height is less than 7', it must follow the
requirements in the section "Alcove Installation Requirements".
HINT: REDUCING CLEARANCES - Clearances may be reduced by methods specified in NFPA
211, listed wall shields, pipe shields, or other means approved by local building or fire
officials.
• Heater and floor protection must be installed on a level, secure floor.
Floor Protection Requirements
• The heater must be installed on a non-combustible floor protector extending the full width
and depth of the heater and extending 6" in front (Minimum 28" wide by 32-1/2" deep)
(minimum .018" thick - 26 gauge) .
• Must extend under and 2" to each side and rear of a "Tee" (if used).

below.
• The heater must be bolted to the
floor (Some states do not require
this; check with your local building
department). See the illustration
to the right.
• The heater must be grounded to
the steel chassis of the mobile
home (Some states do not require
this; check with your local building
department).
WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL IN

Outside Air (used for combustion)
• Must not be drawn from an enclosed space (garage, unventilated crawl space).
HINT: Travis Industries strongly suggests outside air for all residential installations, especially for
those that are energy efficient, air-tight homes.
• Must not be over 15'
long.
• Must be made with 1 3/4"
diameter or larger metal
or aluminum duct with a
metal screen attached to
the end to keep out
rodents (P.V.C. or other

Alcove Installation Requirements
When the pellet stove is placed in a location where the ceiling height is less than 7' tall, it is considered
an alcove installation. Because of the reduced height, the requirements listed below must be met.
• Minimum height is 60"
• Minimum width is 46"
Baffle Installation
Install the baffles included with the stove (see page 29 for details).
Door Seal Verification
The door is aligned prior to leaving the factory. However, shipping and installation may cause the door to
become mis-aligned. Verify the door is correctly aligned and seals properly (see the section "Door Seal"
under Yearly Maintenance).
Restrictor Adjustment
The exhaust restrictor “fine tunes” your appliance, ensuring it pulls the correct amount of air through
the firebox. Altitude, vent configuration, and other factors make restrictor adjustment necessary for
every installation.
NOTE : the optimal restrictor position will vary over time as soot builds up inside the exhaust system –
make sure the homeowner knows how to visually inspect the flame and adjust the restrictor.
• Maximum depth is 48"
• Minimum clearance of 9" on each side and 3" on back
Not Enough Air:
If clinkers develop or the flame appears
lazy and slow to blow the ash out of the
firepot, pull the restrictor outward until
the flame becomes active and the
firepot holes remain clean. NOTE: If the
restrictor is fully out (“5”), yet the firepot
does not remain clean, the stove needs
to be cleaned and checked for air leaks
(see “Maintenance” section of this
manual).
Too Much Air:
If the flames are too active (small,
flickering flames) or if burning pellets are
expelled from the firepot, move the
restrictor rod inwards until the flame
slows down and no burning pellets are
expelled. Another symptom of too
much air is the heater “blowing the fire
out” – a condition in which the pellets
burn faster than they are fed (this is most
common on low).

Safety Notice
Read this entire manual (especially the "Safety Precautions" on pages 4 and 5)
before using this stove. Failure to follow the instructions may result in property
damage, bodily injury, or even death.
! Do not unplug the stove to turn it off. This stove relies upon electricity to push the flue
gases out the pellet vent – unplugging it may lead to smoke entering your room.
! Failure to maintain your heater will lead to a restricted combustion air system, leading to
poor performance and in some cases, smoke spillage into the room. See the
"Maintenance" section for details.

Curing the Paint
2 to 4 hours
This stove uses a heat-activated paint that will emit some
fumes while starting the first fire. Open doors and
windows to the room to vent these fumes. You may also
notice oil burning off of the interior of the stove. This
rust-stopping agent will soon dissipate.
Priming the Auger
Because of its electronic control panel, this stove does not require priming. If you run out of pellets
you may notice it will take approximately 5 minutes longer for the stove to start.
Travis Industries 4050225 100-01154
20 Operation
Loading Pellets
Lift the hopper lid to its vertical position. Pour pellets into the hopper until full. NOTE: The hopper
holds approximately 115 pounds of pellets.
To Close the Hopper Lid:
lift the lid, pull this tab forward,
then lower the lid down.
To Open the Hopper Lid:
lift the hopper lid from this handle.
Make sure pellets
are not left on this
heat shield.
Warning:
The front edge of the
hopper lid becomes very
hot, do not touch the area
below the handle.
The Two Modes of Operation:
Manual
Manual mode requires the user to turn
the heater on and off manually.
Auto (requires a thermostat)
Auto mode allows you to use a
thermostat to control room
temperature. The stove automatically
turns on when the temperature drops
below the thermostat setting. Once the
stove reaches operating temperature,
the stove then runs at the heat output
setting selected.
Switching Modes While in
Operation
Whenever the stove is switched from
one mode to another while in
operation, the stove will enter the "startup" sequence for a minimum of 20
minutes.

22 Operation
Auto Mode
Auto mode allows you to use a thermostat to control room temperature. The stove automatically turns
on when the temperature drops below the thermostat setting. Once the stove reaches operating
temperature, the stove then runs at the heat output setting selected.
To Adjust Room Temperature (or Start the Stove)
Move the thermostat to the heat setting desired. If the room is
cooler than the setting, the stove will go through the start-up
sequence for approximately 10 minutes. During this period the
lowest “HEAT OUTPUT” light will flash. Once up to temperature,
the stove will then run at the heat output setting selected on the
control panel. If the room is too hot, move the thermostat to a
lesser setting.
H
To Adjust the Heat
Press the "Heat” buttons to adjust the heat
output.
HINT:
If you find that the stove turns on and off
repeatedly, you may wish to turn the heat
output to a lesser setting. The lower setting
will provide a more consistent heat output over
time, eliminating the need for the thermostat to
repeatedly turn the stove off.
NOTE:
If the thermostat calls for heat while the stove is
still cooling down, the stove will go through the
start-up sequence (for a minimum of 20
minutes).

Restrictor Adjustment
The exhaust restrictor “fine tunes” your appliance, adjusting the amount of air flowing to the flame.
NOTE : the optimal restrictor position will vary over time as soot builds up inside the exhaust system.
Not Enough Air:
If clinkers develop or the flame
appears lazy and slow to blow the
ash out of the firepot, pull the
restrictor outward until the flame
becomes active and the firepot
holes remain clean. NOTE: If the
restrictor is fully out (“5”), yet the
firepot does not remain clean,
the stove needs to be cleaned
and checked for air leaks (see
“Maintenance” section of this
manual).
Too Much Air:
If the flames are too active (small,
flickering flames) or if burning
pellets are expelled from the
firepot, move the restrictor rod
inwards until the flame slows
down and no burning pellets are
expelled. Another symptom of
too much air is the heater
“blowing the fire out” – a
condition in which the pellets
burn faster than they are fed (this
is most common on low).

24 Operation
Start-Up Sequence
This stove utilizes a start-up sequence whenever the mode switch is changed or the heater is started
when cold. This is to ensure proper operation through all possible settings and operational states (hot
or cold, pellets burning or not burning, etc.). This sequence over-rides all user settings (except the
"OFF" position) to set the auger feed rate to medium, the exhaust blower to high, and the igniter on.
During this period the lowest “HEAT OUTPUT” light will flash.
"MANUAL AUGER" Button
This button turns the auger on. It is used to “prime” the auger after the hopper has run out of pellets.
"AUGER ON" Light
This light comes on when the auger is turning. This allows the operator to determine when the auger
is turning.
"FAULT" Light
This light comes on when an error occurs:
• The stove runs out of pellets
• During initial start-up (for a split
second) or for improper electrical
frequency
• A start-up sequence that does not
result in the heater coming up to
temperature
To reset the fault light, turn the mode switch to
off and re-start the stove.

Power Outages
If a sustained power outage occurs while in "Manual", the stove will go to a "cool down" mode to
vacate smoke once power returns. If the power outage was short, the heater will go to the start-up
sequence. If in "Auto", the stove will re-start (if the room is cool).
! Because this stove relies upon a blower to evacuate the smoke, some smoke may enter
the home during a power outage. To keep to a minimum, leave the door closed.

WARNING: Disconnect the power cord prior to conducting service.
The following section details extensive maintenance procedures. We strongly suggest these items
be carried out by a trained service technician, possibly by a service agreement set up with your dealer.
Soot and Flyash: Formation and Need for Removal – The products of combustion will
contain small particles of flyash. The flyash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the
flow of the flue gases. Incomplete combustion, such as occurs during startup, shutdown, or incorrect
operation of the room heater will lead to some soot formation which will collect in the exhaust venting
system. The exhaust venting system should be inspected at least once every year to determine if
cleaning is necessary.
