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.
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). 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.
Ok
Gas
Contact your local buildin
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 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 that has
been under water.
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 accordin
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 builtin piezo igniter. Do not use
matches or any other external
device to light your heater.
Allow the heater to cool before
carrying out any maintenance
or cleaning.
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 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.
Children and adults should be
alerted to the hazards of high
surface temperature and
should stay away to avoid
burns or clothing ignition.
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).
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 10).

bPush 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".
cTurn 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 to gain
a better view of the pilot (see page 15).
dKeep the gas control knob depressed for
30 seconds once it is lit.
eRelease the gas control knob. If the pilot
goes out, repeat step C. If the pilot
refuses to stay lit, call your dealer for
service. With the pilot lit, proceed to step

gTurn the gas control knob counter-

and the heater can be turned on and off.
•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".

An optional remote may be
used (see the instructions
included with the remote).
An optional wall thermostat
may be used to control the

NOTE FOR REMOTES, THERMOSTATS, OR WALL SWITCHES:
The on/off switch on the fireplace may be required to be left in the ON or OFF position for the fireplace
to operate. Consult your installer or dealer for details.
•Do not place any combustible items on top of or directly in front of the fireplace, even
temporarily. The optional thermostat may start the fireplace causing a combustible item to
ignite.
•If the fireplace turns on and off frequently while using the thermostat, you may want to adjust
the flame height down until it produces just enough heat needed.
Adjusting the Flame Height
•Your fireplace has an adjustable flame to tailor the look and heat output to your specific needs.
It is adjusted by turning the middle dial on the gas control valve.
