1. Remove the glass (see page 39).
NOTE:If using propane (LP) convert the appliance prior to installing the logs (see page 47
for details)..
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 firebacks (see page 40) and logs (see page 41).
4. Turn on the gas to the fireplace. Turn on gas to the heater. Leak test all gas joints.
5. Replace the glass. Start the pilot.
6. Start the main burner. Leak test all gas joints again (the gas control valve and connections are
located on the exterior of the fireplace on the left side.

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.
Correct
Flames should be blue at the
base, yellow-orange on the top.
If the flames are too tall or sooty on the
ends, open the air shutter.
Not Enough Air
Too Much Air
If the flames are all blue and
short, close the air shutter.
How to Adjust the Air Shutters
Both the front and rear burner air shutters are accessed by removing a cover plate (see the illustration
below). After adjusting the air shutter, replace the burner, logs, and glass and verify the flame quality.

8. Adjust the flame height to its highest position - the flames should not contact the top of the
firebox. Check the flame on lowest position. The flames should burn off 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

Log Set Installation
Overview
Below is a picture detailing log placement for this fireplace. Follow the directions on the following
pages to place the logs correctly.
46Finalizing the Installation (for qualified installers only)
Ember Placement
Place the embers along the firebox floor and burner to help conceal the burner. Make sure none of
the embers are directly over the burner holes. See the photo below (the logs were removed to
better show ember placement).
NOTE: The embers may be placed over the air slots near the burner, but do not place too much as
to impede proper airflow.
Note how the embers do not
cover any burner holes. Place
the embers around the burner
to create a realistic effect.
Rock Wool Placement
This fireplace is shipped with a larger amount of rock wool to provide the proper coverage needed
on this large burner. The rock wool must be pulled apart and made into a thin gauze prior to
placing over the burner. See the illustration below for details.
NOTE: Propane (LP) units use a lighter amount of rock wool than natural gas units.
Preparing the Rock Wool:
The rock wool comes in one
clump. Tear off “dime” sized
clumps and flatten. Then pull on
the wool to create gauze-like
pieces. The wool glows best
when very thin and porous.
Place small pieces of rock wool next to the burner holes in
visible locations. Place the rock wool sparingly so it does
not cover large areas of the burner.
WARNING: If the rock wool is too thick or placed so it
obstructs the flow of gas, sooting will occur.
