• 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 fiber 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). Use the included firestop. It incorporates a 3" clearance above, 1" clearance below and to the sides of the vent.

• Always use the high-wind termination.

Vent Clearances

• The vent must maintain the required clearance to combustible materials to prevent a fire. Do not fill air spaces with insulation.

Sides 1" Above 3" Below Horizontal or 45° Section 1"

Use a firestop when passing through any

Min. 3" Clearance Above the Vent

wall (WARNING: some firestops provide a 1" clearance above the vent -- 3" is required for this heater).

Min. 1" Clearance to the side of vent

1" Clearance to the sides after the first firestop.

Use a firestop whenever passing through a ceiling, enclosure or floor penetration.

Altitude Considerations

• This heater has been tested at altitudes ranging from sea level to 6,000 feet. In this testing we have found that the heater, with its standard orifice, burns correctly with just an air shutter adjustment.

Steps for Finalizing the Installation

1. Remove the glass (see page 41).

NOTE : If using propane (LP) convert the appliance prior to installing the logs.

2. We recommend you purge the gas line at this time (with the glass removed). This allows gas to be detected once it enters the firebox, ensuring gas does not build up.

3. Install the logs (see page 43).

4. Turn on the gas to the fireplace. Turn on gas to the heater. Leak test all gas joints prior to starting the appliance. Start the pilot.

Starting the Pilot Flame

WARNING : When lighting or re-lighting the pilot, the glass must be removed (see page 41).

a Remove the glass (see page 41 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.

NOTE: You may wish to remove the log set to gain a better view of the pilot (see page 43).

d Keep the gas control knob depressed for 30 seconds once it is lit. e Release 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 “f”.

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.

5. Check the pilot flame following the directions below.

Pilot Flame Inspection

The pilot flame should look like the illustration below. Adjust the pilot flame if necessary.

To adjust the pilot flame, turn this screw. Clockwise lowers the flame while counter-clockwise raises it.

6. Start the main burner (the main burner circuit is detailed on page 22). Leak test all gas joints again.

Standard Screwdriver

The pilot flame must contact the thermocouple and thermopile (see the illustration below). Adjust the pilot up or down as necessary.

Page 40

7. Check the air shutter following the directions below.

Air Shutter Adjustment

Let the heater burn for fifteen minutes (make sure the logs and glass are in place). The flames should be yellow with no sooting. Adjust the air shutter, if necessary, to achieve the correct looking flame.

ADJUSTING THE AIR SHUTTER

Moving the air shutter control to the right gives the flame less air (closed) - making it more orange. Moving it to the left gives the flame more air (open), making it more blue. For fine adjustments use a screwdriver to tap the air shutter.

NOTE: If the air shutter is all the way open, yet the flames remain sooty, shut off gas to the fireplace and contact a qualified gas service technician.

Correct

Flames should be blue at the base, yellow-orange on the top.

Air Shutter

Control

Phillips Screwdriver

NOTE: The logs must be installed correctly to monitor the flame while adjusting the air shutter.

Not Enough Air

If the flames are too tall or sooty on the ends, open the air shutter.

More Air

Too Much Air

If the flames are all blue and short, close the air shutter.

Less Air

8. Turn the flame adjust knob to its highest position - the flames should not contact the top of the firebox. Check the flame on low position. The flames should burn off of each burner hole. If the heater does not work correctly, contact your Travis dealer for a remedy.

9. Give this manual to the home owner for future reference and fully explain operation of this heater. For comprehensive operating and maintenance instructions, refer to the Owner's Manual (part # 100-

01186).

ACID WASH WARNING: Before installing the faceplate, make sure any masonry that has been treated with acid wash has been properly neutralized (this is used primarily with brick faces). Acid wash (muriatic

acid) is used to remove excess mortar. If not properly neutralized with an ammonia solution, the plated face may develop a permanent tarnish when the acid evaporates over time. Contact your dealer if uncertain your facing has been properly neutralized.

Place the receiver to the right of the gas control valve (it is a very tight fit). Make sure the wires do not contact the burner or any moving parts (use lock ties if necessary). NOTE: When installing the receiver, make sure to place the receiver with the "Learn" button in a forward position. Before replacing the control cover, make sure to verify the remote works correctly. Once the control cover is installed, the "Learn" button can not be readily accessed.

IF USING AN ACCENT LIGHT

Follow the directions listed under “Accent Light Receiver Connection”.

IF NOT USING AN ACCENT LIGHT

Secure the two white wires, making sure they do not contact the burner or any moving parts.

Accent Light Connection to Omega Remote

If using the accent light with an Omega remote, you will want to remove and discard the accent light rheostat and wiring harness. Plug the wiring harness (included with the blower) into the junction box on the fireplace. The leads from the accent light are connected to the leads from the Omega remote.

The molex connector on the blower wiring harness plugs into the molex connector on the junction box.
