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

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

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.

!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.
3Replace the glass (and arch covers when using arched faces - see page 29).
4Turn on the gas to the fireplace. Turn on gas to the heater. Leak test all gas joints prior to starting the
appliance. Start the pilot (see page 38). Start the main burner. Leak test all gas joints again.
5Check 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.
6Let the heater burn for fifteen minutes. Adjust the rear air shutter, if necessary, to achieve the correct looking
flame (see the illustration below).
•The air shutters adjusts the amount of air that mixes with the gas before it exits the burner holes. They are
used to fine-tune the flame for differences in altitude and vent configuration.
This heater uses three air controls. Adjust
the controls in or out until the flame looks
correct. Pushing in gives the flame less air
(making it more orange). Pulling out gives
the flame more air, making it more blue.

configuration is correct, yet the flames are lifting or ghosting, shut off gas to the fireplace and contact the
dealer for information on remedying the problem.
!This fireplace has been tested at altitudes up to 8,000 feet. In this testing we have found that the fireplace,
with its standard orifice, burns correctly with just an air shutter adjustment. If local codes require resizing the
orifice, in the U.S.A. refer to ANSI 223.1, Appendix P, in Canada B-149.1 or B-149.2
!Failure to properly adjust the air shutter may lead to improper combustion and a safety
hazard. Consult your dealer or installer if you suspect an improperly adjusted air shutter.
7Turn the flame adjust knob to its highest position - the flames should be approximately 12" 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.
8Install 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 plated face may
develop a permanent tarnish when the acid evaporates over time. Contact your dealer if uncertain your facing
has been properly neutralized.

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
29).
aRemove the glass (see page 29 for details).
bPush the gas control knob in slightly and turn it to

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.
+Dust may accumulate inside the convection area of the heater when left idle. Once the heater is re-started, a
“smoky” smell may be created (similar to a baseboard heater when it is re-started).
+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".

Maintenance (for qualified service personnel only)41
Maintaining Your Fireplace'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 plated surfaces with denatured alcohol and a soft cloth (make sure the fireplace is cool).
Other cleaners may leave a film that may become etched into the plated surface.
•Clean the glass with soap and water (do not use abrasive cleaners). To remove the glass, follow the instructions on page
29.
Yearly Service Procedure
!Failure to inspect and maintain the fireplace may lead to improper combustion and a potentially dangerous situation. The
following procedures must be done by a qualified technician.
1Check 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.
2Shut off gas to the fireplace by turning the gas control knob to "OFF" (see step A under "Starting the Pilot" on page 38).
Let the fireplace cool for 15 minutes. Remove the faceplate (see instructions included with face) and glass (see page 29).
3Remove the log set (NOTE: the logs are very fragile - see page 31). 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.
4Clean the burner and inspect the following:
•Check the burner for damage.
•Check the firebox and area around the pilot to make sure there is no damage.
•If any problem is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service.
Check the walls and ceiling of the firebox for

Check the burner holes.
5Replace 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.
6Inspect 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. Clean out the
area near the blower (behind the gas control valve).
7Start 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.
8Inspect the glass. If damage is found, replace the glass (with frame) with Travis Industries glass assembly (glass
installation is on 29).
9Remove any debris or vegetation near the vent termination. Contact your dealer if any sooting or deterioration is found
near the vent termination.
10 Inspect the vent sections. If any damage or dis-connection has occurred, contact your dealer for service.

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.

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.
