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 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).

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.

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.

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

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable liquids in the vicinity of this heater.

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.

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. 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 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.

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.

Optional Blower Control This knob controls the speed of the optional internal convection blower

that pushes heated air into the room.

Optional Accent Light This knob controls the optional accent lights located behind

the logs.

Starting The Pilot Flame

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:

Operation 7

WARNING : When lighting or re-lighting the pilot,

the glass must be removed (see page

10). a Remove the glass (see page 10 for details). b Push 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".

c Turn 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.

f Replace the glass. g Turn the gas control knob counter-clockwise

to "ON". The pilot is now lit and the heater

can be turned on and off.

8 Operation

Starting the Fireplace for the First Time

• 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".

10 Maintenance

Maintaining Your Fireplace's Appearance

Fingerprints or other marks left on the optional plated surface may become etched in place if they are not wiped clean prior to turning the fireplace on. Clean the plated surface with denatured alcohol and a soft cloth (with the fireplace cool). Other cleaners may leave a film that may become etched into the surface.

Yearly Service Procedure

• Failure to inspect and maintain the fireplace may lead to improper combustion and a potentially dangerous situation. We recommend the following procedures be done by a qualified technician.

1. Check the pilot flame. It should touch approximately 3/8" of the top of the thermopile and touch the top of the thermocouple (see illustration below). If it does not, contact your dealer for service.

2. Shut off gas to the fireplace by turning the gas control knob to "OFF" (see step A under "Starting the Pilot" on page 7). Let the fireplace cool for 15 minutes. Remove the glass (see page 10).

3. Remove the log set (NOTE: the logs are very fragile - see page 15). If severely deteriorated, replace. Check the logs for sooting. A small amount of soot along the bottom of the logs is normal. If excessive sooting is found, the fireplace will require adjustment. Contact your dealer.

4. Inspect the burner and remove any debris.

• Make sure the burner is not warped, cracked, or damaged.

• Check the firebox and area around the pilot to make sure there is no warping or damage.

• If any problem is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service.

Before Disassembly - Check the pilot flame. It should touch the thermocouple and thermopile.

Thermopile

Check the walls and ceiling

of the firebox for

deterioration.

Check the burner holes.

Make sure the burners are not

warped or damaged.

5. Replace the log set. Clean and replace the glass (see Glass Cleaning on page 22). If the glass is damaged, replace. Make sure the gasket along the perimeter of the glass contacts the face of the firebox and forms an airtight seal. If it does not, re-align or replace the gasket to insure an air-tight seal.

6. Inspect the area behind the access door. Clean if necessary. Check the gas control valve and the gas lines. If damage is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service. Clean the air channels, ducts, and blower (if applicable).

7. Start the pilot and turn on the main burner. The flames should be orange/yellow and not touch the top of the firebox. If the pilot or main burners do not burn correctly, contact your dealer for service. Monitor the blower operation.

8. Remove any debris or vegetation near the vent termination. Contact your dealer if any sooting or deterioration is found near the vent termination.

How this Fireplace Works

This fireplace was designed with safety as the primary concern. Many of the components inside this fireplace are for safety purposes. Therefore, only certified gas service technicians should service this fireplace.

What Turns the Main Burners On and Off

This fireplace uses a millivolt system to control its operation (a millivolt is a very small amount of electricity). The thermopile and thermocouple generate electricity when heated by the pilot flame. This electricity is used to operate the gas valve. Without enough electricity, the gas valve will not turn on. That is why when starting the pilot the gas control knob has to be pressed in long enough for the thermocouple to heat up and generate enough electricity. The thermopile provides power for the ON/OFF switch, remote control, or thermostat (see the illustration below). Because the thermopile generates the electricity needed to turn the fireplace on and off, this fireplace can be operated when the power is out (although the blower will not run).

When heated, the thermopile generates electricity (a very small amount measured in "Millivolts").

This electricity is used to operate the main burners.

The main burners are switched on and off using the electricity generated by the thermopile. The ON/OFF switch, remote control, or thermostat control the circuit to the main burner.

MAIN BURNER

OFF

What Prevents Gas Buildup

This appliance utilizes a high-technology gas valve in conjunction with a pilot flame to ensure no gas builds up inside the firebox.

The thermocouple (next to the pilot) senses when the pilot flame is lit. If the pilot flame goes out, this thermocouple no longer generates electricity, causing the gas valve to automatically shut off all gas to the heater, preventing the pilot from spilling gas into the firebox.

Pilot Flame

The pilot flame is a time-proven component that eliminates the possibility of gas buildup inside the firebox.

Gas Valve

This high-technology valve automatically shuts off all gas if it does not receive a signal from the thermocouple. If any component is damaged or sensing a malfunction, or if the wiring is damaged, it will shut off all gas.

Thermocouple

The thermocouple generates a small amount of electricity. If the pilot flame goes out, the gas valve automatically shuts off all gas.

External Shut Off Valve

This valve is placed on the gas line to shut off gas to the appliance during maintenance procedures.
