Planning The Installation
•Have an authorized Travis Industries dealer install this heater. If you install the heater yourself, have your dealer review your installation plans.
•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.
