Mantel Requirements
See minimum mantel clearances below.

12 Fireplace Insert Installation (for qualified installers only)
© Travis Industries 11/5/2021 - 1560 Evergreen Insert
Zero-Clearance (Metal) Fireplace Requirements
Must be manufactured by one of the following manufacturers:
• Marco • Majestic • Heatilator • Preway • Tempco • Superior
• Heat N Glo • Lennox • Martin • Monesson
Entire fireplace, including chimney, must meet local building requirements
Chimney height: 15' minimum; 33' maximum.
The damper ("A") and grate ("B") must be removed
(see illustration to the right). The smoke shelf ("C"),
internal baffles ("D"), screen ("E"), and metal or
glass doors ("F") may be removed (if applicable).
The masonry lining ("G"), insulation ("H"), and any
structured rigid frame members (metal sides, floor,
door frame, face of the fireplace, etc. – "I") may not
be removed or altered.
The chimney on the ZC fireplace must be listed per UL 127 or ULC 610-M87 for all installations. Any
thermal protection component of the fireplace or chimney must remain in place. The fireplace and
chimney must be inspected prior to installation. A NFPA 211 Level II inspection is recommended.
Repairs must be made prior to insert installation. The base of the fireplace must be structurally sound
and able to support the weight of the insert.
The stainless steel liner must be 6” in diameter and extend the full height of the chimney (also called
a positive connection or full re-line). This liner must meet type HT (2100°F) requirements per UL
1777 (USA) or ULC S635 with “0” clearance to masonry (Canada). The liner must be attached to the
insert flue collar and to the top of the existing chimney.
We recommend using the listed Travis ZC Liner Kit from Duravent (SKU 98900046, 47, or 48). If you
do not use this kit, you must use the original ZC chimney cap.
The liner support and cap at the top of the chimney must not reduce airflow for the existing air-cooled
chimney system. The Travis ZC Liner Kit includes a cap that meets this provision.
To prevent air from passing up the ZC fireplace chimney (the gap between the liner and chimney) we
recommend sealing the area near the damper. Use non-combustible material to seal this area (non-
backed fiberglass insulation or kaowool).
The convection air channel on the fireplace must not be blocked. Do not block any louvers, grills, or
air passages on the front of the fireplace.
Entire fireplace, including chimney, must meet local building requirements. Permits may be required
for installation. Final approval is contingent upon the authority having local jurisdiction. Inform your
insurance agent of this fireplace insert.
Factory-Built (Z.C.) Fireplace hearth floor protection must be 3/8” (9.5mm) minimum non-combustible
material or equivalent, extending 16” in front of insert and 8” to both sides for US installations and 18"
(458mm) in front of insert and 8" (204mm) to both sides in Canada.

Drafting Performance
Draft is the force that moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your
chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions, and other factors.
Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the appliance and may damage the heater.
Inadequate draft may cause backpuffing into the room and `plugging' of the chimney. Inadequate draft
will cause the appliance to leak smoke into the room through appliance and chimney connector joints. An
uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature indicates excessive draft.
Insert Rollers
Two rollers are built into the back edge of the insert. This
allows the insert to be rolled into position by lifting the front
of the insert and pushing it into position
Leveling Bolt Installation
MASONRY NOTE: Place a metal plate
below the bolts on masonry fireplaces to
prevent damage to the floor brick.
Two leveling bolts are included (in the stove
pack) to level the insert if the fireplace
has a stepped-up hearth. To install, raise
the rear of the insert and thread the
leveling bolts into the holes in the rear
corners of the insert. Adjust the bolts until
they extend the same height as the hearth
(see illustration to right). After the insert is
installed, fine-tune the leveling bolts to
level the insert.

14 Fireplace Insert Installation (for qualified installers only)
© Travis Industries 11/5/2021 - 1560 Evergreen Insert
Insert with Positive Connection
REQUIRED IN CANADA.
Sealing the Flue to the Insert
The flue connection is vitally important. To ensure
proper draft, and to prevent smoke spillage during
re-loading, it is crucial for the flue to be sealed
with fireplace cement. If an adapter is used, both
joints to the liner and the insert should be sealed.
Use a generous amount of fireplace cement at
every connection (where the flue connects to the
insert and at every joint).
In addition, we recommend using non-combustible
fiberglass insulation to seal the fireplace enclosure.
By sealing the top and bottom of the chimney, and
the surround panels, you will be ensuring outside
air is not pulled into the chimney.

Fireplace Insert Installation (for qualified installers only) 15
© Travis Industries 11/5/2021 - 1560 Evergreen Insert
Insert with Direct Connection (Masonry Fireplace)
NOT ALLOWED IN CANADA.
A block-off plate or other non-combustible sealing
device (e.g. damper adapter) is required. It must
seal the chimney to ensure smoke does not enter
the home while providing the chimney system with
sufficient draft.
WARNING
CHECK WITH THE LOCAL AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION BEFORE INSTALLING IN THIS MANNER
Direct Connect style installations tend to be easier and less expensive installations but also can potentially
lead to draft issues and more difficult chimney cleaning.
When venting into a masonry chimney, the draft may be diminished and could lead to the possibility of a
downdraft.
Additionally, the insert will need to be removed from the fireplace and reinstalled each time the chimney and
fireplace need to be cleaned (at a minimum, annually).
Travis Industries recommends completely relining the masonry chimney to ensure the best
performance and customer satisfaction.

Safety Notice
If this appliance is not properly installed, a house fire may result. For your safety, follow the installation
directions. Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation inspection
requirements in your area.
The air control may become hot during operation - use gloves or a tool to prevent burns.
Use gloves when reloading wood.
Read and follow all of the warnings on pages 4 and 5 of this manual.
Before Your First Fire
Verify the Installation
Before starting the stove, verify that the stove is properly installed and all of the requirements in this
manual have been followed.
Keep all flammable materials 36" (915mm) away from the front of the stove (drapes, furniture,
clothing, etc.).
Curing the Paint
Follow the steps below to cure the paint (first fire):
a) Open doors and windows in the room to ventilate the heater during the
curing process.
b) Vacate the room. The fumes from the initial heating process are non-toxic
but may be unpleasant.
c) Slowly bring the heater to a medium burn (400°F/204°C) for 45 minutes.
Then increase the burn temperature to a hot burn (600°F/315°C) for an
additional 45 minutes. This will cure the paint.
Door Gasket - The door gasket might adhere to the paint on the front of the
heater. Leave the door slightly ajar for the first fire and be careful when
opening the door after the first fire.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) Emissions
Smoke from wood heaters contains CO. This gas is an indication of incomplete combustion and is
detrimental to the environment and your health. The more visible the smoke, the higher the CO levels.
Burning dry wood is the most significant step you can take to reduce CO emissions. It is also important to
understand the combustion process so you can burn your heater efficiently. Read the manual thoroughly
so that you can operate your heater in the most efficient and clean manner possible.
Over-Firing the Stove
DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS HEATER: Attempts to achieve heat output rates that exceed heater design
specifications can result in permanent damage to the heater.
This stove was designed to operate at a high temperature. But due to differences in vent configuration,
fuel, and draft, this appliance can be operated at an excessive temperature. If the stovetop or other area
starts to glow red, you are over-firing the stove. Shut the air control down to low and allow the stove to
cool before proceeding.
Over-firing may lead to damage of plated surfaces. If you are uncertain of over-firing conditions, we
suggest placing a stove thermometer (e.g. Rutland® Model 710) directly over the door on the stovetop -
temperatures exceeding 800° are generally considered over-firing and will void the warranty.
2 to 4 hours

18 Operating Your Appliance
© Travis Industries 11/5/2021 - 1560 Evergreen Insert
Opening the Door
To prevent smoke from entering the room, open the bypass (pull out) and the air control (pull out)
before opening the door. You can also open the door a small amount and let air enter the firebox.
The door becomes hot during use - use gloves or a tool to prevent burns.
Bypass Operation
The bypass control becomes hot during operation - use gloves or a tool to prevent burns.
The bypass controls the flow of smoke inside the heater. When pulled out, smoke goes directly up the
flue, creating more draft. When pushed in, the smoke goes around the baffle, utilizing the secondary
combustion and making the heater more efficient.
When starting or re-loading, pull the bypass out.
During normal operation, push the bypass in.

Starting a Fire
T
he bypass control becomes hot during operation - use gloves or a tool to prevent burns.
Make sure the air control is pushed in. If additional air is needed, open the doors 1/4" during the first
five minutes of start-up.
Make sure the bypass is pulled out.
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene,
charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or "freshen up" a
fire in this stove. Keep all such liquids well away from the stove
while it is in use.
DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START THE FIRE.
DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH
AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA, OR ENGINE OIL. Do not place
such fuel within space heater installation clearances or within
the space required for charging and ash removal.
If using a fire-starter, use only products specifically designed for
stoves - follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully.
HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING,
AND FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN
BURNS.
If the smoke does not pass up the chimney, ball up one sheet of
newspaper, place it in the center of the firebox, and light it. This
should start the chimney drafting (this eliminates "cold air
blockage").
Use plenty of kindling to ensure the stove reaches a proper
temperature. Once the kindling is burning rapidly, place a few
larger pieces of wood onto the fire.
