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.

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 or LPG). 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 the label shown to the right.

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.

• 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 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.

• 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.

• 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).

8 Installation (for qualified installers only)

Installation Hints:

• If converting to LP, convert the appliance prior to installation.

• The blower is easiest to install prior to installation. Because the blower is located near the gas inlet

location, we recommend using the included pipe and elbow to route the gas inlet around the blower

position.

• Install the logs last - they are fragile.

• 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.

• Fumes and smoke from the paint curing and oil burning off the steel may occur the first time you start

this heater. This is normal. We recommend you open windows to vent the room.

Stove Clearances

Straight Installations Corner Installations

With this clearance the vent is centered 6-7/8" from the back wall, 23-1/2" from the side wall.

Heater Placement Requirements

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

• Due to the high temperature, the heater 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 58” tall

• The alcove must not be more than 45” deep before the ceiling returns to 7’

• The alcove must be at least 47” 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 28” wide by 18” deep).

Make sure these rubber tipped bolts on each leg contact the floor

(they dampen any noise that may transmit through the hearth). Do

not adjust with weight on the legs, the rubber tips may tear.

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

• 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 by Massachusetts in compliance with code 248 CMR.

9-3/4"

Centerline

7-1/8"

1-3/4"

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.

Standard Input Pressure

Vent Requirements

! Always maintain the required 1” clearance (air space) to combustible materials to prevent a fire hazard.

Do not fill air spaces with insulation.

! 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.

• This appliance is equipped only for altitudes 0-2000 feet. However, our in-house testing has shown that the unit operated at altitudes to 8000 ft.

! 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.

• 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.

Vertical Termination use the "high-wind" version (if applicable)

Use a roof flashing and storm collar whenever passing through the roof

Finalizing the Installation

! Make sure the gas control valve is “OFF” and the heater is cool prior to conducting service. 1 Remove the glass (see page 22) 2 Install the log set and coals (see page 24). ! 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 Replace and secure the glass (see page 22) 4 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.

5 Check the pilot flame to make sure it looks like the illustration below. Adjust the pilot flame if necessary.

To adjust the pilot flame, turn this screw (NOTE: if totally unscrewed gas will come out of this port). 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.

6 Let the heater burn for thirty minutes. Adjust the air shutter, if necessary, to achieve the correct

looking flame (see the illustration below).

• The air shutter adjusts the amount of air that mixes with the gas before it exits the burner holes. It is used to fine-tune the flame for differences in altitude and vent configuration.

ADJUSTING THE AIR SHUTTER

Gas Control Valve

Pushing to the left gives the flame less air (making it more orange). Pushing to the right gives the flame more air, making it more blue. For fine adjustments use a screwdriver to tap the air shutter.

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

Correct

Flames should be blue at the base, yellow-orange on the top.

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

Not Enough Air

If the flames are over 14" tall or sooty on the ends, open the air shutter.

Air Shutter Control

Too Much Air

If the flames are all blue and short, close the air shutter.

26 Operation

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

22).

a Remove the glass (see page 22 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".

c Turn the gas control knob to the "PILOT" position

and press the knob in, this will allow gas to flow to the pilot light. Press the button on the pilot igniter repeatedly until you see the pilot light.

WARNING: If the pilot does not light after 15

seconds, release the knob and call your dealer for service. Do not attempt to light pilot until service has been performed.

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).

Glass

• Clean the glass with soap and water (do not use abrasive cleaners). To remove the glass, follow the instructions on page 22.

Yearly Service Procedure

! Failure to inspect and maintain the stove may lead to improper combustion and a potentially dangerous situation.

The following procedures must 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 stove by turning the gas control knob to "OFF" (see step A under "Starting the Pilot" on page

25). Let the stove cool for 15 minutes. Remove the glass (see pages 22).

3 Remove the log set (NOTE: the logs are very fragile - see page 24). 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 firebox for the following:

• Check the burner for cracked, plugged, or deteriorated holes.

• 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.

Before Disassembly - Check the pilot flame. It should touch the thermocouple and

heck the walls and ceiling f the firebox for eterioration.

thermopile.

Pilot Hood

Thermocouple

Check the burner holes.

5 Replace the log set. Replace the glass (if the glass is damaged, replace it). 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 face.

6 Inspect the area behind the access door. Clean if necessary. Check the gas control valve and the gas lines. If

any damage is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service. Clean the air channels and ducts.

7 Follow the instructions for starting the pilot and turn on the main burner. The flames should be orange/yellow and

not sooty. If the pilot or main burners do not burn correctly, contact your dealer for service

8 Inspect the vent section. Damaged sections should be replaced. Remove any debris or vegetation near the

vent termination. Contact your dealer if any sooting or deterioration is found near the vent termination.

Make sure the burner is not warped or damaged.

How this Stove Works

! This stove was designed with safety as the primary concern. Many of the components inside this

stove are for safety purposes. Therefore, only certified gas service technicians should service this stove.

What Turns the Main Burners On and Off

This stove 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 stove on and off, this stove 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 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.

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.
