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.
Ok
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 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.
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.
Gas
Travis Industries 4030612 100-01143
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 and any gas control
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 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
36"
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.
Keep all furniture or other combustible items at least 36" away from the front of the fireplace (this includes drapes or doors that may swing within 36" of the front of the fireplace).
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).

the fireplace opening. NOTE: This strip will be removed after the fireplace is secured to the floor. This facing thickness must represent the total thickness of the finished facing. FOR EXAMPLE: If tile is to be used, include the thickness of the backboard, tile, and tile adhesive.
3. Insert the fireplace into the framing. Slide it back until the standoff flanges (the 1/4 flanges on the
stand-offs) contact the strip of facing material. Verify all clearances at this point.
4. Secure the fireplace to the floor by screwing or nailing through the nail-down plates (found on
both sides and back of the fireplace).

Shutoff valve must be a T handle gas cock.
Only direct vent sealed combustion products are approved for bedrooms or bathrooms.
Fireplace dampers must be removed or welded in the open position prior to the installation of a fireplace insert or gas log.
The gas line must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, follow ANSI 223.1 and the requirements listed below.
The fireplace 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. For pressures under 1/2 psig, isolate the gas supply piping by closing the manual shutoff valve.
Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior to and after starting the fireplace.
Gas Line Location
The gas inlet is located on the left side. It may be re-located to the base of the fireplace (see “Optional Gas Line Location on the following page).
Gas Line

Fuel
This fireplace is designed either for natural gas or for propane (but not for both). Check the sticker on the top of the gas control valve to make sure the correct fuel is used.
Gas Line Connection
Installation must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier (In Massachusetts a licensed plumber/gasfitter).
Gas Inlet Pressure:
Natural Gas 7" W.C. (1.74 kPA) Propane 13" W.C. (2.73 kPA)
If the pressure is not sufficient, make sure the piping used is large enough, the supply regulator is adequately adjusted, 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 above. Contact the local gas supplier if the regulator is at an improper pressure.

14 Installation (for qualified installers only)
Vent Requirements
The vent must maintain the required clearance to combustible materials to prevent a fire (see “Clearances” below). 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.
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.
Vent Clearances
Min. 2" Clearance Above

Slide the vent sections together and turn 1/4 turn until the sections lock in place.
Screws are not required to secure the vent. However, three screws may be used to secure vent sections together if desired.
High temperature sealant is recommended at the appliance starter section connection (use high-temperature silicone or Mill-Pac®).
If disassembly is required, at time of re-assembly check to see if the vent creates a tight fit. If it does not, apply high temperature sealant to the joints of the affected sections.
Horizontal sections require a 1/4" rise every 12" of travel
Horizontal sections require non-combustible support every three feet (e.g.: plumbing tape)
