Planning The Installation
HINT:Have an authorized Travis Industries dealer install this heater. If you install the heater
yourself, have your dealer review your installation plans.
HINT:Place the heater outside and load 10 pounds of pellets inside the hopper. Plug the
heater in and let it run on HIGH until the pellets run out. This will cure the paint and burn
off any oil on the steel, eliminating any smell inside the home.
HINT:Paint the interior of the fireplace with latex paint to prevent fireplace odors from entering
the home (the convection blower circulates air around the insert).

Restrictor Adjustment
The restrictor “fine tunes” your appliance, ensuring it pulls the correct amount of air through the
firebox. Altitude, vent configuration, and other factors make restrictor adjustment necessary for every
installation.
NOTE : the optimal restrictor position will vary over time as soot builds up inside the exhaust system –
make sure the homeowner knows how to visually inspect the flame and adjust the restrictor.
Not Enough Air:
If clinkers develop or the flame appears
lazy and slow to blow the ash out of the
firepot, pull the restrictor outward until
the flame becomes active and the
firepot holes remain clean. NOTE: If the
restrictor is fully out yet the firepot does
not remain clean, the stove needs to be
cleaned and checked for air leaks (see
“Maintenance” section of this manual).
Too Much Air:
If the flames are too active (small,
flickering flames) or if burning pellets are
expelled from the firepot, move the
restrictor rod inwards until the flame
slows down and no burning pellets are
expelled. Another symptom of too
much air is the heater “blowing the fire
out” – a condition in which the pellets
burn faster than they are fed (this is most
common on low).

Safety Notice
Read this entire manual (especially the "Safety Precautions" on pages 2 and 3)
before using this heater. Failure to follow the instructions may result in property
damage, bodily injury, or even death.
!Do not unplug the heater to turn it off. This heater relies upon electricity to push the flue
gases out the pellet vent – unplugging it may lead to smoke entering your room.
!Failure to maintain your heater will lead to a restricted combustion air system, leading to
poor performance and in some cases, smoke spillage into the room. See the
"Maintenance" section for details.
Location of Controls
Control Panel
Starting the Heater for the First Time
Curing the Paint
This heater uses a heat-activated paint that will
emit some fumes while starting the first fire.
Open doors and windows to the room to vent
these fumes. You may also notice oil burning
off of the interior of the heater. This ruststopping agent will soon dissipate.
Thermostat
(required for
Auto Operation)
Pull on this knob to
access the control panel.
Restrictor
2 to 4 hours
Priming the Auger
Because of its electronic control panel, this heater does not require priming. If you run out of pellets
you may notice it will take approximately 5 minutes longer for the heater to start.
Travis Industries405121693508051
Operation15
Loading Pellets
Lift the hopper lid to its vertical position. Pour pellets into the hopper until full. NOTE: The hopper
holds approximately 35 pounds of pellets.
WARNING:
The front edge
of the hopper
lid becomes
very hot, do not
touch the area
below the
handle.
The Two Modes of Operation:
Manual
Manual mode requires the user to turn
the heater on and off manually.
Auto (requires a thermostat)
Auto mode allows you to use a

Start-Up Sequence
This stove utilizes a start-up sequence whenever the mode switch is changed or the heater is started
when cold. This is to ensure proper operation through all possible settings and operational states (hot
or cold, pellets burning or not burning, etc.). This sequence over-rides all user settings (except the
"OFF" position) to set the auger feed rate to medium, the exhaust blower to high, and the igniter on.
During this period the lowest “HEAT OUTPUT” light will flash.
"MANUAL AUGER" Button
This button turns the auger on. It is used to “prime” the auger after the hopper has run out of pellets.
"AUGER ON" Light
This light comes on when the auger is turning. This allows the operator to determine when the auger
is turning.
"FAULT" Light
This light comes on when an error occurs:
•The stove runs out of pellets
•During initial start-up (for a split
second) or for improper electrical
frequency
•A start-up sequence that does not
result in the heater coming up to
temperature
To reset the fault light, turn the mode switch to

vacate smoke once power returns. If the power outage was short, the heater will go to the start-up
sequence. If in "Auto", the heater will re-start (if the room is cool).
!Because this heater relies upon a blower to evacuate the smoke, some smoke may enter
the home during a power outage. To keep to a minimum, leave the door closed.

Daily Maintenance (whenever using the heater)
Inspect the Burn
When burning, the flames should
be bright orange with an occasional
ember jumping from the firepot.
Make Sure Pellets are Not
Piling Up
If the pellets pile up over the burn
pot, turn the mode switch to "OFF".
The most likely causes are:
•The door, glass, or ashpan is
open or has an air leak
•The firepot requires cleaning
•The exhaust system requires
cleaning
•The heater requires adjustment

With the stove cool (or using the door
latch tool), move the heat exchange
cleaner up and down several times.
Keep the door closed so the
flyash does not enter the room.
Vacuum Hopper
Run the heater until the pellets run out. Open the hopper and vacuum out the entire hopper. The
dust and any other debris near the bottom should be removed to prevent excessive build-up.
Cleaning the Optional Gold Surfaces (Door and optional Grill)
Fingerprints or other marks left on gold surfaces may become etched in place if they are not wiped
clean prior to turning the stove on. Clean the gold with denatured alcohol and a soft cloth (make sure
the heater is cool). Other cleaners may leave a film that may become etched into the gold.

Disposal of Ashes– Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed
container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well
away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of
by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed
container until all cinders have been thoroughly cooled.
Clean the Glass
Open the door and clean the glass with a non-abrasive glass cleaner and rag. This will increase the
amount of light and heat given off by the heater.

26Maintenance
Yearly Maintenance (or every two tons)
WARNING:Disconnect the power cord prior to conducting service.
The following section details extensive maintenance procedures. We strongly suggest these items
be carried out by a trained service technician, possibly by a service agreement set up with your dealer.
Soot and Flyash: Formation and Need for Removal – The products of combustion will
contain small particles of flyash. The flyash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the
flow of the flue gases. Incomplete combustion, such as occurs during startup, shutdown, or incorrect
operation of the room heater will lead to some soot formation which will collect in the exhaust venting
system The exhaust venting system should be inspected at least once every year to determine if
cleaning is necessary.
Clean the Vertical Exhaust Duct (the stove must be cool and unplugged)
Remove both
refractory side clips.
Clean this area
behind where the
refractory rests
(both sides).
Remove the
refractory.
Remove these doors to
remove fallen flyash and
soot (see “Bi-Weekly
Maintenance for details”)
Clean the Exhaust Duct (make sure the heater is cool and unplugged)
Remove the surround panels (see page 11).
You may wish to disconnect the vent and

Check the vent sections for creosote
accumulation (indicating a poorly burning
stove). Accumulation over 1/4” must be
removed.
Flyash will deposit along
sections that are horizontal.
Warning:Whenever any portion of the pellet vent is disconnected, the joints must be sealed with
RTV 500° F. silicone sealant.
On vertically vented systems, the dirtiest
portion is often the point where the vent turns
upwards (i.e. the "Tee"). Fortunately, the "Tee"
has a built-in clean out cover. Remove the
cover and vacuum out. While open, use a
flashlight to look up the pellet vent to check for
build-up.

Yearly Maintenance (or every two tons) - Continued
Check for Air Leaks Around the Door, Glass, and Ashpan
!Air leaks into the firebox will decrease the stove's performance greatly, leading to
excessive sooting, inefficient burning, and perhaps a malfunction.
•Test the door seal by shutting the door on a dollar bill in various locations. If the bill can be
easily slid out, air may be leaking around the door seal – inspect the door gasket and door
catch carefully.
•Inspect the door gasket to make sure it is fully attached. Use heater gasket cement to reattach if necessary. If the door gasket is worn or flattened, replace.
•Check the door to make sure it latches correctly. Slight adjustments can be made to the
door catch if necessary (do not over-tighten this catch, an over-tightened catch will
damage the door). The latch should engage with a slight amount of resistance, yet not be
difficult to engage.
•If the glass is cracked, replace. The glass is held in place by glass clips that are
underneath the airwash brackets. See the illustration below for details.
•Remove the ashpan and inspect the gasket around the perimeter of the ashpan. Reattach, or replace the gasket if necessary.
