4 Safety Precautions

Safety Warnings:

• Failure to follow all of the requirements may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.

• This unit must be installed by a qualified installer to prevent the possibility of an explosion.

• This appliance must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, in U.S.A. follow ANSI

Z223.1 and NFPA 54(88).

• In Manufactured or Mobile Homes must confirm with: In USA, Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280, or, when such a standard is not applicable, the Standard for Manufactured Home Installations, ANSI/NCSBCS A225.1. This appliance may be installed in Manufactured Housing only after the home is site located.

• All exhaust gases must be vented outside the structure of the living-area. Combustion air is drawn from outside the living-area structure.

• Notify your insurance company before hooking up this fireplace.

• 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.

• This heater is approved for use with natural gas (NG) or 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.

• Contact your local building officials to obtain a permit and information on any installation restrictions or inspection requirements in your area.

• 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.

• 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 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.

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

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

Safety Precautions 5

Safety Warnings (continued):

• Allow the heater to cool before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning.

• 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.

• The pilot flame must contact the thermopile and thermocouple. 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 logs).

• If the fiber logs become damaged, replace with Travis Industries log set.

• 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.

• Do not touch the hot surfaces of the heater. Educate all children of the danger of a high-temperature heater. Young children should be supervised when they are in the same room as the heater.

• Due to the high temperature, the heater should be located out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.

• 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.

• 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).

Vent Requirements

• 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.

• In addition to the requirements listed here, follow the requirements provided with the vent.

• A firestop is required whenever the vent penetrates a wall, floor, or ceiling (passes through

framing members). Horizontal vent less than 48" above the fireplace must use the Travis Firestop (sku 93006094 - it incorporates a 3" clearance above, 1" clearance below and to the sides of the vent). Other penetrations only require a 1" clearance and may use a standard firestop (make sure the required 1" clearance is met).

• Always use the high-wind termination (if available from the vent manufacturer).

Vent Clearances

• The vent must maintain the required clearance to combustible materials to prevent a fire. Do

not fill air spaces with insulation.
