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.
Ok
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.
4
Travis Industries 4050114 100-01149
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.
• 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).

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.
The 1" diameter access hole is located 2-3/8" above the base of the fireplace. Cut
an "X" in the gasket covering the inlet and insert the gas line through the gasket.

supply gas at the suggested input pressure listed above. Contact the local gas supplier if the regulator is at an
improper pressure.

Electrical Connection
! Make sure the household breaker is shut off prior to working on any electrical lines.
! The appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence
of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, or ANSI NFPA.

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.

• 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)

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.
This restrictor is in position 1
(factory setting).
