Before You Begin
READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE YOU INSTALL AND USE THIS HEATER.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE,
BODILY INJURY, OR EVEN DEATH.
Check with local building officials for any permits required for installation of this pellet heater and notify
your insurance company before proceeding with installation.
Packing List
• Thermostat & Wire • Door Latch Tool • Scraper Rod Tool • Brush • Fuses (2) • Lag Bolts (2)
Installation Options:
•Residential or Mobile Home (see the section "Mobile Home Requirements")
•Alcove Compatible (see the section "Alcove Installation")
•Horizontal or Vertical Vent
•Outside Air Compatible
•Vent with L-Vent, L-Vent Fireplace Liner, or Type A Chimney (with adapter)
Planning The Installation
HINT: Have an authorized Travis Industries dealer install this heater. If you install the heater
yourself, have your dealer review your installation plans.
HINT: Sketch out a detailed plan of the installation including dimensions. Then verify the
dimensions with the requirements listed in this manual.
HINT: When determining the location of the stove, locate the wall studs (for horizontal
penetrations) and ceiling trusses (for vertical penetrations). You may wish to adjust the
stove position slightly to ensure the vent does not intersect with a framing member.
HINT: 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.
Stove Placement
•Stove must be placed so that no combustibles are within, or can swing within (e.g. drapes,
doors), 36" of the front of the heater.
?If the stove is placed in a location where the ceiling height is less than 7', it must follow the
requirements in the section "Alcove Installation Requirements".
HINT: REDUCING CLEARANCES - Clearances may be reduced by methods specified in NFPA
211, listed wall shields, pipe shields, or other means approved by local building or fire
officials.
• Heater and floor protection must be installed on a level, secure floor.
Floor Protection Requirements
• The heater must be installed on a non-combustible floor protector extending the full width
and depth of the heater and extending 6" in front (Minimum 28" wide by 32-1/2" deep)
(minimum .018" thick - 26 gauge) .
• Must extend under and 2" to each side and rear of a "Tee" (if used).

Travis Industries 4011009 93508126
Alcove Installation Requirements
When the pellet stove is placed in a location where the ceiling height is less than 7' tall, it is considered
an alcove installation. Because of the reduced height, the requirements listed below must be met.
•Minimum height is 60"
•Minimum width is 46"
•Maximum depth is 48"
•Minimum clearance of 9" on each side and 3" on back
Restrictor Adjustment (qualified installers only)
In rare cases the vent will produce too much draft for the stove, leading to an inefficient burn, and in
some cases, the flame going out. The factory setting is wide open.
When to Adjust Restrictor(s):
Run the heater with the restrictors open (factory setting). If the fire goes out on low, or if un-burned
pellets are expelled from the firepot often (make sure they are un-burned, not just cylindrical embers),
the restrictor(s) will require adjustment. Follow the directions below.
Adjusting the Restrictor(s)
The intake restrictor acts as a fine
adjustment to the airflow where
the exhaust restrictor acts as a
coarse adjustment. To adjust the
restrictor(s), first close the intake
restrictor and assess heater
performance over time. If the
problem is not solved, open the
intake restrictor and adjust the
exhaust restrictor following the
directions listed under "Exhaust
Restrictor Adjustment".
Use these index marks to gauge restrictor
movement. Push in for more restriction
(pull out for less restriction).

NOTE: you will not notice much change

over a long period of time.
Exhaust Restrictor Adjustment (qualified installers only)
a) Start the heater and allow it to get up to temperature. Set it to low burn.
b) Rotate the restrictor bolt until the indicator tab is at position # 1 (to the left)
c) Inspect the flame - if it is in-active and the spent pellets do not jump out of the burnpot, turn the restrictor bolt
so the indicator tab is at position # 3. Repeat this process until the flame is active and the spent pellets jump
out of the burn pot. Also verify the heater burns correctly on high.

Safety Notice
Read this entire manual (especially the "Safety Precautions" on pages 2 and 3)
before using this stove. Failure to follow the instructions may result in property
damage, bodily injury, or even death.
!Do not unplug the stove to turn it off. This stove relies upon electricity to push the flue
gases out the pellet vent – unplugging it may lead to smoke entering your room.
!Failure to maintain your heater will lead to a restricted combustion air system, leading to
poor performance and in some cases, smoke spillage into the room. See the
"Maintenance" section for details.

Starting the Heater for the First Time
Curing the Paint
This stove uses a heat-activated paint that will
emit some fumes while starting the first fire.
Open doors and windows to the room to vent
these fumes. You may also notice oil burning
off of the interior of the stove. This rust-
stopping agent will soon dissipate.

2 to 4 hours
Because of its electronic control panel, this stove does not require priming. If you run out of pellets
you may notice it will take approximately 5 minutes longer for the stove to start.
