2 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 propane (LP). Burning the incorrect fuel will void the warranty and safety listing and may cause an extreme safety hazard. Check the label above the gas control valve to make sure it matches the fuel being used. Direct questions about the type of fuel used to your dealer.

• 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.

• Do not operate if any portion of the heater was submerged in water or if any corrosion occurs.

Safety Precautions 3

• 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 door (glass) should only be opened while lighting the pilot or conducting service. Damaged glass must be replaced.

• 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.

• Do not touch the hot surfaces of the heater. Educate all children of the danger of a hightemperature heater. 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.

This Manual

• 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.

• 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

• 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).

Installation (for qualified installers only) 7

Heater Placement Requirements

• Heater must be installed on a level surface capable of supporting the heater and vent

• Due to the high temperature of the heater, it should be located out of traffic and away from

furniture and draperies.

? When placed in a location where the floor to ceiling height is under 7 feet, the installation is

considered an alcove and must meet the following requirements:

• The alcove floor to ceiling height must be at least 60” tall

• The alcove must not be more than 48” deep before the ceiling returns to 7’

• The alcove must be at least 42-1/2” wide

• The heater must not be placed so the vents below or above the door, along the sides of heater, or

along the back of the heater can become blocked.

• This heater may be placed in a bedroom. Please be aware of the large amount of heat this

appliance produces when determining a location.

Floor Protection Requirements

• When the stove is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl or other combustible material other than

wood flooring or a high pressure laminate wood floor, the stove must be installed on a metal or wood protection panel extending the full width and depth of the heater (Minimum 22-1/2” wide by 17-5/8” deep).

Gas Line Installation

! 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 CGA B149 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 the top of the gas control valve to make sure the correct fuel is used.

• Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior to and

after starting the heater.

• The gas inlet accepts a 3/8” F.P.T. Fitting
