4Safety Precautions

• IF YOU SMELL GAS:

* Do not light any appliance

* Extinguish any open flame

* Do not touch any electrical switch or plug or unplug anything

* Open windows and vacate building

* Call gas supplier from neighbor's house, if not reached, call fire department

• This unit must be installed by a qualified installer to prevent the possibility of

an explosion. Your dealer will know the requirements in your area and can

inform you of those people considered qualified. 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 safet

y

listin

g

.

This heater is either approved for natural gas (NG) or for 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 for a label on the flame adjust knob on the gas control valve (this is the best

place to check). You may also check for a label on the gas control valve body.

• Contact your local building

officials to obtain a permit

and information on any

installation restrictions or

inspection requirements in

your area. Notify your

insurance company of this

heater as well.

• 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 use this appliance if

any part has been under

water. 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

Safety Precautions 5

• 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 igniter. Do not use

matches or any other

external device to light your

heater.

• Allow the heater to cool

before carrying out any

maintenance or cleaning.

• 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.

• Do not operate with the

glass removed or damaged.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• This unit is not for use with

solid fuel

• Do not place anything inside

the firebox except approved

Travis media (see

“Additional Items Required”

on page 7).

• 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.

• 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).

• Plug the heater into a 120V

grounded electrical outlet.

Do not remove the

grounding plug.

• Don’t route the electrical

cord in front of, over, or

under the heater

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

should stay away to avoid burns or clothing ignition. Young children should be

carefully supervised when they are in the same room as the appliance. Toddlers,
