Safety Warnings
 Failure to follow all of the requirements may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.
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.
 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. In Australia follow AS/NZS 5601.1.
 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

Televisions Placed Above the Fireplace
The following section details three methods to allow for television installation above the fireplace.
Using a Mantel Between the Fireplace and Television
IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING TELEVISIONS AND THIS FIREPLACE
Most television manufacturers instruct the homeowner to not place the television above a heat source. Doing so
may negatively affect the longevity of the television and may negate the warranty. If you do place a television
above the fireplace, please be aware of the large amount of heat generated by the fireplace and consider placing
the television above a mantel to reduce the amount of heat that reaches the television. The homeowner must
understand that Travis Industries does not take responsibility for any negative impact to televisions placed near this
fireplace.
Minimum Dimensions:
(a) Minimum Mantel Height above Base of Fireplace* 44-3/4” (1137mm) with 8” (203mm) mantel depth
(b) Mantel Depth* Minimum 8” (203mm)*
* Mantel depth is 8” minimum to allow heat to travel forward and dissipate. If using more than an 8”
mantel, make sure to make the mantel height (a) higher (see mantel requirements on page 39 for details).
NOTE: The mantel must extend 2” in front of the TV and 1” to both sides. If you have a TV that is greater than 6”
deep (including the 1” gap behind), you will need to alter the mantel depth and height.
WIRING NOTE: If running wiring into the enclosure, use thermal insulating wrap around the wiring. Secure the
wiring to protect from contact with hot surfaces.
