Drafting
Performance
This appliance relies upon natural draft to operate. External forces, such as wind,
barometric pressure, topography, or factors of the home (negative pressure from
exhaust fans, chimneys, air infiltration, etc.), may adversely affect draft. Travis
Industries can not be responsible for external forces leading to less than optimal
performance.
Vent Termination Requirements
¥Vent termination must have an approved cap (to prevent water from entering)
¥Vent termination must not be located where it will become plugged by snow or other material
¥Vent termination must be
1' above the roof and
meet the requirements
outlined in ANSI
Z223.1, section 7.6.2.
12Ó Min.
Note: ANSI 223.1, section 7.6.2 outlines additional
requirements for gas vent terminations. If your
installation involves a roof with a slope greater
than 6/12 or if a wall or other vertical obstruction is
within 8' of the vent termination, the vent
termination will need to be taller. Refer to ANSI
223.1 for full details.
!When installed, the vent must provide suitable draft for the appliance. Other factors, such as exhaust
fans, may create negative pressure inside the home and cause down drafts. Additional vent height
may be required in these circumstances.
Electrical Connection
¥Plug the power cord into a grounded 110 Volt outlet (do not remove the grounding plug).

Drafting
Performance
This appliance relies upon natural draft to operate. External forces, such as wind,
barometric pressure, topography, or factors of the home (negative pressure from
exhaust fans, chimneys, air infiltration, etc.), may adversely affect draft. Travis
Industries can not be responsible for external forces leading to less than optimal
performance.
Vent Termination Requirements
¥Vent termination must have an approved cap (to prevent water from entering)
¥Vent termination must not be located where it will become plugged by snow or other material
¥Vent termination must extend a minimum of 6" above the top of the chimney
Electrical Connection
¥Plug the power cord into a grounded 110 Volt outlet (do not remove the grounding plug).

3Replace the door (follow step # 1 in reverse order).
4Turn on gas to the
heater. Leak test all
gas joints prior to
starting the
appliance. Start the
pilot. Start the main
burner. Leak test all
gas joints again.
5Check the pilot flame
to make sure it looks
like the illustration to
the right. Adjust the
pilot flame if
necessary.
6Let the heater burn
for fifteen minutes.
Adjust the air shutter,
if necessary, to
achieve the correct
looking flame (see
the illustration to the
right).
¥The air shutter
adjusts the amount of
air that mixes with
the gas before it exits
the burner holes. It
is used to fine-tune
the flame for
differences in
altitude and vent
configuration.
The pilot flame should impinge the top 3/8Ó (10 mm)
of the thermopile. If it does not, you may need to
turn the pilot up.

!If the air shutter is in its fully open position, yet the flames remain sooty, shut off gas to the heater
and contact your dealer for a remedy.
7Ensure the heater establishes a draft. If the heater unexpectedly shuts off 5 to 25 minutes after
starting, the heater may not be drafting. The cause: negative pressure. Typically, re-starting the
heater five minutes after the shutoff will overcome the negative pressure and establish a draft.
However, if this does not work, you may wish to open a door or window near the heater. This will
allow in enough air in to overcome any negative pressure. Once drafting is initiated, the heater will
work properly without having to re-start the heater or allow in outside air. This is due to the heat
generated by the pilot.
Possible Causes of Negative Pressure:
¥ Exhaust fans (Jenn-Aire type fans in kitchens, bathroom fans)
¥ Vent termination located near a down draft or against prevailing winds
¥ Internal home pressure characteristics (multiple fireplaces, etc...)
8Turn the flame adjust knob to its highest position - the flames should be approximately 10" tall.
Check the flame on low position. The flames should burn off of each burner hole. If the heater does
not work correctly, contact your dealer for a remedy.
9Give this manual to the home owner and fully explain the operation of this heater.

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 or if the stove malfunctions. If the pilot turns off
frequently, call your dealer for information. To start the pilot follow the directions below:
NOTE: IF YOU'RE TRYING TO RE-LIGHT THE PILOT BECAUSE SERVICE WAS
PERFORMED ON THE UNIT (I.E. GAS LINE REMOVED THEN RE-INSTALLED OR
BECAUSE TANK RAN OUT OF GAS), FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR REMOVING
THE DOOR ON PAGE 14 THEN BLEED THE GAS LINE.
APush 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.
BWait five minutes to let any
gas that may have
accumulated inside the
firebox escape. If you smell
gas, follow the directions on
the cover "IF YOU SMELL
GAS".
CTurn 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 red button
on the pilot igniter
repeatedly until you see the
pilot light. KEEP THE GAS
CONTROL KNOB
DEPRESSED FOR 30
SECONDS ONCE IT IS
LIT. NOTE: IF THE
PILOT DOES NOT
LIGHT AFTER 15
SECONDS, RELEASE
THE KNOB AND CALL
YOUR DEALER FOR
SERVICE.
DRelease the gas control
knob. If the pilot goes out,
repeat step C. If the pilot
refuses to stay lit, call your
dealer for service.
ETurn the gas control knob
counter-clockwise to "ON".

Starting the Heater for the First Time
¥ Painted Stoves require the paint to be cured. Start the heater and burn on low for 20 minutes. Turn
off and let cool. Repeat twice to fully cure the paint.
+ Fumes and smoke from the paint curing and oil burning off the steel may occur the first time you
start your heater. This is normal. We recommend you open windows to vent the room.
+ Condensation may appear on the glass each time you start the heater - this is normal.
+ Blue Flames will occur on the heater 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 heater on and off. If this is the case, leave
the ON/OFF switch "ON".

PAGE 20 MAINTAINING YOUR HEATER
Maintaining Your Stove's Appearance
!The optional brass door may be cleaned with a non-abrasive polish (such as Flitz¨). The brass trim
is anodized and should not be polished.
Yearly Service Procedure
!Failure to inspect and maintain the heater may lead to improper combustion and a potentially
dangerous situation. We recommend the following procedures be done by a qualified technician.
1Check the pilot flame. It should engulf approximately 3/8" of the top of the thermocouple (see
illustration below). If it does not, contact your dealer for service.
2Shut off gas to the heater by turning the gas control knob to "OFF" (see step A under "Starting the
Pilot" on page 17). Let the heater cool for 15 minutes. Remove the door (see step 1 on page 14).
3Remove the logs, twigs and coals (see page 14 - NOTE: the logs are fragile). If any log is cracked
or deteriorated, replace it when re-installing. Check the logs for sooting. A small amount of soot
along the bottom of the logs is normal. If excessive sooting is found, the heater will require
adjustment. Contact your dealer.
4Clean the burner pan (especially in the burner holes and slots) and inspect the following:
¥ Check for burner pan holes that are cracked, severely warped, or corroded.
¥ Make sure the burner pan assembly fits flat against the floor of the firebox.
¥ 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.
Check the burner
holes and slots.
Make sure the
burner pan seals
against the floor
of the firebox.
Check the walls and
ceiling of the firebox
for deterioration.
Burner Pan
Before Disassembly: Check the pilot flame. It should
impinge the top 3/8Ó of the thermopile and engulf the
thermocouple.

5Replace the log set. Inspect the door gasket. If it is deteriorated, replace. It may be re-attached to
the door using high-temperature gasket cement. If the glass is damaged, replace it. Replace the
door. Make sure the gasket forms a seal.
6Inspect the area behind the control cover. Check the gas control valve and all of the gas lines. If any
damage is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service.
7Start 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.
8Remove any debris or vegetation near the vent termination. Contact your dealer if any sooting or
deterioration is found near the vent termination.
