4 Safety Precautions
© Travis Industries 1/12/2023 - 1556 PB 36CF ST 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. 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 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
replace any part of the control system and
any gas control which has been underwater.

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

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 on 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.
A barrier designed to reduce the risk of
burns from the hot viewing glass is provided
with this 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.

Televisions Placed Above the Fireplace
The following section gives guidelines to place a television above the fireplace.
IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING TELEVISIONS AND THIS FIREPLACE
Most television manufacturers instruct the homeowner not to place the television above a heat source like this fireplace.
Doing so may decrease the longevity of the television and negate the warranty. If you do place a television above the
fireplace, you should place a mantel (or build-out) between the fireplace and television (or use a CoolSmart TV Wall™ kit).
Follow the guidelines below to reduce the amount of heat reaching the television. Travis Industries does not take
responsibility for any negative impact on televisions placed near this fireplace.
Minimum Dimensions:
(a) Minimum Mantel Height above Base of Fireplace* 43-1/2” (1106mm) with 8” (203mm) mantel depth*
(b) Mantel Depth* Minimum 8” (203mm) *
(c) Optional Columns (or Build-Out) Must Meet Side Wall Clearances
(Measured to the side of fireplace ZC-can)
* Minimum mantel depth must be 8” to allow heat to dissipate. If using a mantel larger than 8”, make sure to adjust
the mantel height (a) to meet the mantel clearance (see mantel requirements and/or chart above).
The mantel must extend 2” in front of the television and 1” to both sides.
If you have a television that is greater than 6” deep (including the 1” gap behind), you will need to alter the mantel
depth and height (see the example below).
The television must have a 1” gap to the wall to allow for proper cooling. Any build-out near the television must
maintain a 3” gap to the top and sides to prevent heat from being trapped near the television.
EXAMPLE: If you have a television that is 9” deep (including the 1” gap behind), the mantel must be 11”. The mantel height
would need to be 44-1/2” (1156mm) above the base of the fireplace.
WIRING NOTE: If running wiring into the enclosure, you may wish to use thermal insulating wrap around the wiring. Secure
the wiring to protect it from contact with hot surfaces.

Installing the Optional Centering Brackets
To install the optional centering brackets, follow the steps below.
1. If not already removed, remove the shipping
bracket from the lower middle of the right side of
the fireplace. Use an 1/4” nut driver to remove
the two bolts that secure the bracket to the side
of the fireplace. Set the bolts aside for
reinstallation. Discard the shipping bracket.
2. Loosen (but do not remove) the (6) bolts along the
outer edge of the end of the fireplace marked with
black circles. Remove the (2) bolts marked with
red circles to the right. Set the bolts aside for
reinstallation.
3. Place the keyhole slots on the centering bracket
over the three bolts along one of the edges of the
fireplace. With the keyholes over the loosened
