4 Safety Precautions

Safety Warnings:

 Failure to follow all of the requirements may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.  This unit must be installed by a qualified installer to prevent the possibility of an explosion.  This appliance must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, in U.S.A. follow ANSI

Z223.1 and NFPA 54(88), in Canada follow CSA B149.1.

 A manufactured home (USA only) or mobile home OEM installation must conform with the

Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280, or, when such a standard is not applicable, the Standard for Manufactured Home Installations, ANSI/NCSBCS A225.1, or Standard for Gas Equipped Recreational Vehicles and Mobile Housing, CSA Z240.4. This appliance may be installed in Manufactured Housing only after the home is site located.

 All exhaust gases must be vented outside the structure of the living-area. Combustion air is drawn

from outside the living-area structure. The venting must not be connected to a chimney flue serving a separate solid-fuel burning appliance.

 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.

 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.

Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.

 Do not place clothing or other flammable items on or near the heater. Because this heate r ca n 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 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 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 and call your dealer for service.  This unit is not for use with solid fuel.  Do not place anything inside the firebox (except the optional artwork).  Warning: Do not operate appliance with the glass front removed, cracked or broken. Replacement

of the glass should be done by a licensed or qualified service person.

 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.

 Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room as the appliance.

Toddlers, young children and others may be susceptible to accidental contact burns. A physical barrier is recommended if there are at risk individuals in the house. To restrict access to a fireplace or stove, install an adjustable safety gate to keep toddlers, young children and other at risk individuals out of the room and away from hot surfaces.

 Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperature and should stay

away to avoid burns or clothing ignition. Do not touch the hot surfaces of the heater. Educate all children of the danger of a high-temperature 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).

Altitude Considerations

 This heater has been tested at altitudes ranging from sea level to 6,000 feet (1800 M). In this testing we have

found that the heater, with its standard orifice, burns correctly with just an air shutter adjustment.

 Failure to adjust the air shutter properly may lead to improper combustion which can create a safety hazard.

Consult your dealer or installer if you suspect an improperly adjusted air shutter.

Page 18

18 Installation (for qualified installers only) 18

Approved Vent

 May use 6-5/8” (168mm) if terminated vertically.  Horizontal termination configurations use 8" (203mm) diameter Simpson Dura-Vent Model Direct -

Vent Pro (or GS)*. * Other vent may be approved with this fireplace. Check with the vent manufacturer for details.

 Vertical termination configurations use 8" (203mm) or 6-5/8" (168mm) diameter Simpson Dura-Vent

Direct-Vent Pro (or GS)*. If using 6-5/8" (168mm) diameter vent, attach the 8" (203mm) to 6-5/8" (168mm) reducer (Travis part # 98900165) to the fireplace.

 NOTE: When using 6-5/8” (168mm) diameter vent, make sure to accommodate the 4” (102mm)

clearance above the vent. Standard firestops do not include this clearance.

 Always use the high-wind cap (58DVA-HC, 58DVA-VCH, or 46DVA-VCH).  Installation instructions for Simpson Dura-Vent may be found at www.duravent.com.  Other vents may be approved.

Vent Installation

 Slide the vent sections together and turn 1/4 turn until the sections lock in

place.

 Screws are not required to secure the vent. However, three screws may be

used to secure vent sections together if desired.

 High temperature sealant is recommended at the appliance starter section

connection (use high-temperature silicone or Mill-Pac®).

 If disassembly is required, at time of re-assembly check to see if the vent

creates a tight fit. If it does not, apply high temperature sealant to the joints of the affected sections.

 Horizontal sections require a 1/4" (6mm) rise every 12" (305mm) of travel  Horizontal sections require non-combustible support every three feet (e.g.: plumbing tape)

within the shaded area shown in the chart. Use the indicated restrictor and diffuser positions.

 Up to four elbows (45° or

90°) may be used.

 Only one horizontal elbow

may be used.

Horizontal length (max. 24’) is calculated by adding both lengths of horizontal run (Horizontal Length = H1 + H2).

This is considered a horizontal elbow (it does not matter whether it turns right or left). It may be a 90° or 45° elbow.

Mantel Requirements

Combustible Mantels

 Use the table below to determine the maximum mantel depth allowed. The mantel depth (measured

from the face of the fireplace) must fall in the shaded portion of the table.  Any material that protrudes more than 3/4” (19mm) from the non-combustible facing is considered a

mantel and must meet the mantel requirements.

Steps for Finalizing the Installation

1. Remove the glass (see page 36).

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. Make sure the two accent light bulbs are in place.

NOTE: Take care to not touch the bulb with your fingers (use a cloth or paper towel).

4. Install the four AA batteries (included in the owner’s pack) into battery holder (see the illustration below). The AA

batteries act as a power backup in case the household (AC) power goes out. Install the 9v battery (included in

the owner’s pack) into control panel light assembly (see the illustration below). The battery holder is held in

place with Velcro and may be removed for easier access.

Battery Holder for Control Panel Lights

Lift up and swing the lower grill down to acces the area below the firebox.

Swing the concealment cover up and slide it back to expose the controls.

5. Install the Burner/Logs Kit (see the Burner instructions).

6. Replace the glass.

7. Start the heater.

8. Leak test all gas joints.

9. 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.

Too Much Air

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

(RED)

Left = More Air

Right = Less Air

NOTE: You may wish to use pliers to adjust the front air shutter. Typically, the front air shutter is fully closed (left) on NG, and fully open (right) on LP.

10. 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.

11. 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. 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 e xcess 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.
