4 Safety Precautions
© Travis Industries 9/25/18 - 1488 PB36 CF Install
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.
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 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.

Safety Warnings (continued)
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 the appliance.
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

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.
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.

appliance and shall be installed for the protection of children and other at-risk individuals.
If the barrier becomes damaged, the barrier shall be replaced with the manufacturer’s barrier for this
appliance.
Clothing or other flammable material should not be placed on or near the appliance.
Any safety screen, guard, or barrier removed for servicing an appliance must be replaced prior to
operating the appliance.
Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service person. The appliance should be
inspected before use and at least annually by a professional service person. More frequent cleaning
might be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, et cetera. It is imperative
that control compartments, burners, and circulating air passageways of the appliance be kept clean.

absence of local codes, follow ANSI 223.1 in US/Canada or AS/NZS 5601.1 in Australia.
The fireplace and gas control valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping during any pressure
testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPA). For pressures under 1/2 psig (3.5
kPA), isolate the gas supply piping by closing the manual shutoff valve.
Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior to and after starting the fireplace.
This unit has been listed using the included internal gas shutoff valve.
Fuel
This fireplace is designed either for natural gas or for propane (but not for both).
Gas Line Connection
Installation must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier (In Massachusetts a licensed
plumber/gasfitter).

If the pressure is not sufficient, make sure the piping used is large enough, the supply regulator is adequately
adjusted, and the total gas load for the residence does not exceed the amount supplied.
The supply regulator (the regulator that attaches directly to the residence inlet or to the propane tank) should
supply gas at the suggested input pressure listed above. Contact the local gas supplier if the regulator is at
an improper pressure.
