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.

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).

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 the label and flame adjust knob on the gas control valve.

Gas

Contact your local buildin 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.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable liquids in the vicinity of this heater.

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 operate if any portion of the heater was submerged in water or if any corrosion occurs. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system that 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.

The viewing glass should be opened only for lighting the pilot or 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 accordin 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 builtin piezo 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.

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.

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.

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).

14 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 it's own separate vent system.

• Make sure the exhaust pipe on the heater connects to the exhaust portion of the cap. The

illustrations below show how the flex liners should be attached.

• The exhaust vent must reline the entire length of the chimney and terminate above the

chimney top

• Be careful not to crimp or rupture the liner when bending it into chimney offsets

• When installed, the vent must meet all of the vent manufacturer's requirements

• Make sure to order the following:

3” UL 441 Gas Liner for Exhaust and Air Inlet

6-5/8” to 3” & 3” Co-Linear Adapter & Flashing (Simpson Duravent Part # 923GK).

Altitude Considerations

• This heater has been tested at altitudes ranging from sea level to 8,000 feet (2,400 M). In this testing we

have found that the heater, with its standard orifice, burns correctly with just an air shutter adjustment.

• 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.

Installation (for qualified installers only) 15

Vent Restrictor

WARNING: Restrictor adjustment should only be done by a qualified installer.

Only those installations determined to be over-drafting require this adjustment. The best indication of over-drafting is a hyper-active flame pattern (flames that move too quickly). If the air shutter is constricted, the flames become short and yellow, yet still very active. Over-drafting may affect the pilot, but this is not the best way to determine over-drafting. Over-drafting is most likely in tall venting configurations (especially if using an “Exhaust Only Re-Line”). Do not over-restrict the vent (this leads to ghosting or lifting flames - reduce restrictor setting).

Adjustment Bracket

This restrictor is in position 1 (factory setting).

When in place, the log set should look like the pictures above.

Use a kibble to cover any exposed screws. You may wish to flatten the kibble to provide better coverage.

Place other kibbles around the burner as needed (do not cover any burner holes).

Finalizing the Installation 25

Steps for Finalizing the Installation

1. Remove the glass (see page 21).

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. Turn on gas to the heater. Leak test all gas joints prior to starting the appliance. Start the pilot. Start the main burner. Leak test all gas joints again.

4. 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

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

5. Install the logs (see page 23).

6. Replace the glass.

7. 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 look like the illustration below. Adjust the air shutter, if necessary, to achieve the correct looking flame.

Air Shutter

Move the controls left or right until the flame looks correct. Pushing to the right gives the flame more air, making it more blue. Pushing to the left gives the flame less air, making it more orange.

NOTE: If the air control is all the way open, yet the flames remain sooty, shut off gas to the fireplace and contact a qualified gas service technician.

NOTE: The logs must be installed correctly to monitor the flame while adjusting the air shutter.

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.

26 Finalizing the Installation

FINE TUNING THE EMBER-FYRE™ BURNER

Each installation is affected by altitude, vent configuration, and fuel quality. Because of this, the restrictor and air shutter may need to be fine tuned to each installation. Follow the hints below to finetune the burner for optimum performance and aesthetics.

Restrictor Adjustment:

Only those installations determined to be over-drafting require this adjustment. See the instructions on page 15 for details.

Air Shutter Hints:

• For more glow, open the air shutter, however, this will make the flames more blue.

• For yellow flames, close the air shutter, however, this may create less glow.

The flames should burn right off the top of the burner ports (if they are too blue, adjust the air control).

Lifting FlamesCorrect Flames

Burner

Lifting flames indicate insufficient draft (restrictor is set too high).

Burner Ports

(holes)

Ghosting Flames Flickering Flames

Ghosting flames indicate insufficient air (restrictor set too high, air shutter shut down, or other venting error).

Flickering, short flames indicate excessive draft (move air shutter to a higher position).

Warning: If the vent configuration is installed incorrectly the vent may cause the flames inside the heater to

lift or “ghost” – a dangerous situation. Inspect the flames after installation to insure proper performance. If the vent configuration is correct, yet the flames are lifting or ghosting, shut off gas to the heater and contact the dealer for information on remedying the problem.

8. Replace the glass.

9. Attach the face following the directions included with the face.

NOTE: If using a Rosario or Discovery face you may wish to modify the face connector (see page 11 for details).

NOTE: If using the Arched, Artisan, Metropolitan, or Victorian Lace Face you must use the face mounting brackets included with the heater (see page 12 for details).

10. 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 dealer for a remedy.

11. Give this manual to the home owner and fully explain the operation of this heater.

Starting The Pilot Flame

The pilot flame is required to ignite the main burners (it also plays a safety role). It should be left on once lit. It will stay lit unless the gas control valve is turned to "OFF". However, the pilot will go out if the gas is shut off, the propane tank runs out (or low) or if the stove malfunctions. If the pilot turns off frequently, call your dealer for information. To start the pilot follow the directions below:

WARNING: When lighting or re-lighting the pilot, the

glass must be removed (see page 21).

a Remove the glass (see page 21 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".

Operation 29

Starting the Heater 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 heater - this is normal.

• Blue Flames will occur on the heater when it first comes on. After fifteen minutes the flames

will turn a more realistic yellow and orange color.

• Certain installations use a remote "wall switch" to turn the heater on and off. If this is the case,

leave the ON/OFF switch "ON".

Turning the Heater On and Off

After the pilot has been started...

For systems with wall thermostats, use this switch to control the temperature (right is hotter, left cooler). Some systems require the on/off switch to be on.

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

Pilot Flame

The pilot flame, which remains on, makes a very slight "whisper" sound.

HIGH

The high position is all the way counter-clockwise, without clicking off.

LOW

Turn the dial all the way clockwise.

Blower This heater uses a blower to push heated air into the room. You will hear the sound of air movement that increases as the speed is increased.

The appliance will creak with change of temperature.

Extinction Pops It is not unusual, especially on Propane (LP) appliances, to experience a "pop" when the burner is shut off.

Gas Control Valve

As the gas control valve is turned on and off you will hear a dull clicking sound. This is the valve opening up and shutting down.

Blower Snap Disk This part can produce a clicking sound as it turns the blower on and off.

Normal Operating Odors

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

Maintenance 31

Maintaining Your Heater's Appearance

Fingerprints or other marks left on the optional plated surface may become etched in place if they are not wiped clean prior to turning the heater on. Clean the plated surfaces with denatured alcohol and a soft cloth (with the heater cool). Other cleaners may leave a film that may become etched into the surface.

Yearly Service Procedure

• Failure to inspect and maintain the heater may lead to improper combustion and a potentially dangerous

situation. We recommend the following procedures be done by a qualified technician.

1. Check the pilot flame. It should touch approximately 3/8" of the top of the thermopile and touch the top of the thermocouple (see illustration below). If it does not, contact your dealer for service.

2. Shut off gas to the heater by turning the gas control knob to "OFF" (see step A under "Starting the Pilot" on page 28). Let the heater cool for 15 minutes. Remove the face (see the instructions included with the face) and glass (see page 21).

3. Remove the log set (NOTE: the logs are very fragile - see page 23). 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 heater will require adjustment. Contact your dealer.

4. Clean the burner (especially the burner holes) and inspect the following:

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

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

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

Check the walls and ceiling of the firebox for deterioration.

Before Disassembly -

Check the pilot flame. It should touch the thermocouple and thermopile.

Make sure the burner is not warped or damaged.

Thermopile

Pilot Hood

Thermocouple

Check the burner holes.

5. Replace the log set. Clean and replace the glass (use non-abrasive cleaner - if damaged, replace). Make sure the gasket 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 insure an air-tight seal. Replace the faceplate.

6. Inspect the area behind the access door. 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 the area around the blower.

7. Start the pilot and turn on the main burner. 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 the 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.

Maintenance 33

How this Heater Works

This heater was designed with safety as the primary concern. Many of the components inside this heater are for safety purposes. Therefore, only certified gas service technicians should service this heater.

What Turns the Main Burners On and Off

This heater uses a millivolt system to control its operation (a millivolt is a very small amount of electricity). The thermopile and thermocouple generate electricity when heated by the pilot flame. This electricity is used to operate the gas valve. Without enough electricity, the gas valve will not turn on. That is why when starting the pilot the gas control knob has to be pressed in long enough for the thermocouple to heat up and generate enough electricity. The thermopile provides power for the ON/OFF switch, remote control, or thermostat (see the illustration below). Because the thermopile generates the electricity needed to turn the heater on and off, this heater can be operated when the power is out (although the blower will not run).

When heated, the thermopile generates electricity (a very small amount measured in "Millivolts").

This electricity is used to operate the main burners.

The main burners are switched on and

Cre

off using the electricity generated by the thermopile. The ON/OFF switch, remote control, or thermostat control the circuit to the main

burner.

MAIN BURNER

OFF

What Prevents Gas Buildup

This appliance utilizes a high-technology gas valve in conjunction with a pilot flame to ensure no gas builds up inside the firebox.

The thermocouple (next to the pilot) senses when the pilot flame is lit. If the pilot flame goes out, this thermocouple no longer generates electricity, causing the gas valve to automatically shut off all gas to the heater, preventing the pilot from spilling gas into the firebox.

Pilot Flame

The pilot flame is a time-proven component that eliminates the possibility of gas buildup inside the firebox.

Gas Valve

This high-technology valve automatically shuts off all gas if it does not receive a signal from the thermocouple. If any component is damaged or sensing a malfunction, or if the wiring is damaged, it will shut off all gas.

External Shut Off Valve

This valve is placed on the gas line to shut off gas to the appliance during maintenance procedures.

TIMER

CLOCK

Thermocouple

The thermocouple generates a small amount of electricity. If the pilot flame goes out, the gas valve automatically shuts off all gas.

Ceramic Glass

The glass in your heater is the most durable glass available. It has been tested to be extremely resistant to breakage from temperature changes.
