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).

• 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

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

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.

• 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).

Fireplace Placement Requirements

Minimum Framing Dimensions

A 1/2" clearance is required along the sides and back of the fireplace. The 1/2" stand-offs on the sides

and 6-1/4" stand-offs on the top of the fireplace are designed to separate the fireplace from the

framing members. These stand-offs may contact the framing members but no material may be placed

between the stand-offs.

NOTE: if venting directly to the rear, make sure there is a min. 8-5/8" space centered behind the fireplace for the wall thimble. If a 90° elbow is used directly off of the fireplace, the thimble will be centered 51-1/4" above the base of the fireplace.

If using a remote control or thermostat, route the wire to a location near the gas line (include an extra 3' length for hookup).

46-1/2"

Gas line (3/8" M.P.T. or 1/2" F.P.T.) should be routed 6-5/8" behind the framing opening and 1-7/8" above the base of the fireplace (see "Gas Line Connection" for details).

19-5/8"

43-1/4"

Route the electrical line to a position at the right rear of the fireplace.

NOTE: If using the power heat vent, allow for the duct passage when framing the enclosure.

• Fireplace must be installed on a level surface capable of supporting the fireplace and vent

• Fireplace must be placed directly on wood or non-combustible surface (not on linoleum or carpet)

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

and draperies.

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

produces when determining a location.

Clearances

• When installed, walls in front of the fireplace must be a minimum 4-1/2" to the side of the faceplate.

• Fireplace must be placed so that no combustibles are within, or can swing within 36" of the front of the

fireplace (e.g. drapes, doors)

• Fireplace must be placed so the vents below and above the glass do not become blocked

Facing Requirements

NOTE: The combustible area above the facing must not protrude more than 3/4" from the facing. If it

does, it is considered a mantel and must meet the mantel requirements listed in this manual.

WARNING : Do not use adhesive to secure the cement board or facing. The high

Adhesive

temperatures of the fireplace may cause adhesives to emit odors. Use mastic or thin set (or other non-combustible, non-odorous adherent) to attach the facing to the cement board.

NOTE: Screws may be used to secure the cement board to the fireplace. Do not penetrate the fireplace more than 3/4”

The fireplace requires a concrete board (or other non-combustible) extending from the header to the floor and to the framing members on both sides. Do not use sheetrock, plywood or other combustible.

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.

Clearances

Minimum 1” clearance to all combustibles (measured from the outside of the pipe) except for the following:

When using 6-5/8" vent, a horizontal termination, and an elbow directly off the top of the fireplace, a 2" clearance is required above the horizontal sections (1" to the side and below).

2" Clearance

With any vertical vent directly off the fireplace, the clearance is 1".

Max. 3' Horizontal Run

1" Clearance

Use of 8” Diameter Pipe

• Most venting configurations use 6-5/8” diameter vent. To achieve longer horizontal runs (over 12’)

with a horizontal termination, 8” dia. Simpson Duravent type GS Direct Vent may be used. See the

section “Horizontal Terminations using 8” Diameter Vent” for details. Part Numbers are listed below.

Approved Vent Configurations

Restrictor Position

• A vent restrictor is built into the appliance to adjust the flow rate of exhaust gases. This ensures proper combustion for all vent configurations. Depending upon the vent configuration, you may be required to adjust the restrictor position. The charts for acceptable vent configurations detail the correct vent restrictor position.

Adjustment Plate

Adjustment Bracket

This restrictor is in position 1 (factory setting).

Elbows

• A maximum of three 90° elbows or four 45° offsets may be used. See the vent configurations for details.

NOTE: one 45° elbow may be used between two horizontal sections.

Measuring Vent Lengths

To Access the Restrictor:

With the face removed and the fireplace cool, reach above the firebox.

To Adjust the Restrictor:

Determine the correct restrictor position (see the charts under

"Approved Vent Configurations" - the factory position is #1). Lift up the adjustment plate and move it so the correct notch

falls into the slot on the adjustment bracket.

Gas Line Requirements

! 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.

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

• A manual shutoff valve is required for installation (within 3’ of the heater or inside the fireplace). T-

Handle gas cocks are required in Massachusetts in compliance with code 248CMR.

• Installation must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier (In

Massachusetts a licensed plumber/gasfitter).

4 Replace the glass frame (and arch covers when using arched faces - see page 27).

5 Install the faceplate following the instructions included with the faceplate. ! ACID WASH WARNING : Before installing the faceplate, make sure any masonry that has been

treated with acid wash has been properly neutralized (this is used primarily with brick faces). Acid wash

(muriatic acid) is used to remove excess mortar. If not properly neutralized with an ammonia solution,

the gold face may develop a permanent tarnish when the acid evaporates over time. Contact your

dealer if uncertain your facing has been properly neutralized.

6 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.

7 Let the heater burn for fifteen minutes. Adjust the air shutters, 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.

ADJUSTING THE AIR SHUTTERS

Pushing the control 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.

Front Air Shutter Control

8 Turn the flame adjust knob to its highest position - the flames should be approximately 10" tall. 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.

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 fine-tune the burner for optimum performance and aesthetics.

Restrictor Hints:

Set the restrictor to the position suggested in the vent configuration table (see pages 20-23). Turn the heater on and allow it to reach full temperature (15 min.). If the flames indicate there is excessive draft due to altitude or climate, you may wish to adjust the restrictor to a more restrictive position (higher number). Active, flickering short flames are an indication of excessive draft. If the flames lift off of the burner holes, this indicates not enough draft (restrictor is set too high). After adjustments are made the unit must be cooled down to room temperature and restarted to make sure that the restriction is not so severe that the pilot will drop out when it is restarted. If the pilot does drop out reduce the restriction until it will operate continuously.

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.

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 27).

5 minutes

a Remove the glass (see page 27 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.

NOTE:

You may wish to remove the log set

Operation 35

Starting the Fireplace 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 fireplace - this is normal. + Blue Flames will occur on the fireplace 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 fireplace on and off. If this is the case, leave

the ON/OFF switch "ON".

Turning the Fireplace 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.

blower speed.

Optional Power Heat Duct

Allow the fireplace to reach normal operating temperature. Then use the wall-mounted rheostat to

operate the blower speed. The blower will automatically shut off after the fireplace cools.

OFF

Turn the dial all the way counterclockwise until it clicks off.

HIGH

The high position is all the way counterclockwise, without clicking off.

LOW

Turn the dial all the way clockwise.

Normal Operating Sounds

The appliance will creak with change of temperature.

Pilot Flame

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Maintenance 37

Maintaining Your Fireplace's Appearance

! Fingerprints or other marks left on the optional gold surface may become etched in place if they are not wiped

clean prior to turning the fireplace on. Clean the gold with denatured alcohol and a soft cloth (with the fireplace

cool). Other cleaners may leave a film that may become etched into the gold.

Yearly Service Procedure

! Failure to inspect and maintain the fireplace 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 fireplace by turning the gas control knob to "OFF" (see step A under "Starting the Pilot" on

page 34). Let the fireplace cool for 15 minutes. Remove the faceplate (see instructions included with face) and

glass (see page 27). 3 Remove the log set (NOTE: the logs are very fragile - see page 28). 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 fireplace will require adjustment. Contact your dealer. 4 Clean the burner (especially the burner holes) and inspect the following:

• Check for burner pan holes that are cracked, severely warped, or corroded.

• Make sure the burner assembly is not warped 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

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

found, discontinue use and contact dealer for service. Clean the air channels and ducts. 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.

Check the burner holes.

How this Fireplace Works

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

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

fireplace.

What Turns the Main Burners On and Off

This fireplace 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 fireplace on and off, this fireplace 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.
