A justing the Target Temperature of the Thermostat:
Make sure the remote is in thermostat mode. Hold down the “SET” button until the desired
temperature is displayed ( “SET TEMP” will be displayed on the LCD, indicating that the
thermostat temperature is being set). The thermostat may be set at any temperature between 45°
and 99° . If the desired temperature is missed, simply hold down the button (the temperature
will scroll up to 99° then re-start at 45°).
NOTE: If the fireplace is in thermostat mode, and any button on the wall switch is pressed, the
remote will return to manual mode. Simply press any button on the remote to return control of
the fireplace to the remote.
WARNING: While in thermostat mode the fireplace will turn on and off to meet the temperature
demands of the remote. Do not place any items near the fireplace or conduct service without
removing the batteries and disabling the fireplace.
WARNING: If the remote is set to a high temperature the fireplace may remain on for an extended
period of time. This may be a concern to those using LP (propane).

8 Operation
© Travis Industries 4090810 100-01194_003
Starting the Fireplace for the First Time
• Burn the heater at a high setting for an extended period (up to 48 hours). This will cure the
painted surfaces. Fumes from the paint curing and oil burning off the steel will occur. This is
normal. We recommend opening a window to vent the room.
• Con ensation may appear on the glass each time you start the fireplace - this is normal.
• Blue Flames will occur on the fireplace when it first comes on. After fifteen minutes the flames
will turn a more realistic yellow and orange color.
djusting the Flame Height
A justment with the Wall Switch (recommen e )
With the fireplace in manual mode and the fireplace on, click the “HI” or “LO” button until the
desired flame height is achieved.
A justment with the Remote
With the fireplace in manual mode and the fireplace on, click and hold the “ON” button until the
desired flame height is achieved. Each time the “ON” button is held down, the flame height will
toggle between getting taller (“HI” will be displayed on the LCD screen) or getting smaller (“LO”
will be displayed on the LCD screen).
Continuous Pilot – For Very Cold Conditions
This fireplace can be configured to run with an intermittent or continuous (standing) pilot. or
normal conditions we recommend using the intermittent pilot (pilot is on only when the main
burner is on). or extremely cold conditions we recommend using a continuous pilot (pilot is on all
the time). By having the pilot on continuously, a draft is established in the vent, allowing the main
burner to turn on with less air-flow disruption.
Setting the Fireplace to Continuous Pilot
Press and hold down the “O Continuous Pilot” button on the remote for 10 seconds. “PILOT” will
appear on the LCD screen, indicating that the fireplace is configured for a continuous pilot. To
configure the fireplace for an intermittent pilot, press and hold down the “O Continuous Pilot”
button on the remote for 10 seconds until the “PILOT” is no longer visible on the LCD screen.
Normal Operating Odors
This appliance has several areas that reach high temperatures. Dust or other particles on these
areas may burn and create an odor. This is normal during start-up. You may notice the smell is
more acute if the appliance was left idle for a long period.
Power Outages
This fireplace utilizes household power (110 VAC) to power the receiver module and intermittent
pilot system. A separate battery box is included to provide power for the adjustable flame height
and in case of power outages. If you experience a power outage and the unit does not operate,
make sure to replace the AA batteries in the battery box (see “Battery Installation” on page 19).
Child Protection Feature
The remote can be disabled to prevent children from operating the fireplace. This is done by
holding down the “ON H/L” and “MODE” button for 5 seconds until “CP” (Child Protection) appears
on the screen. If any button is pressed on the remote “CP” will appear on the screen indicating the
child protection feature is on. To turn this feature off, hold down the “ON H/L” and “MODE” button
for 5 seconds until “CP” disappears from the screen.

Yearly Service Procedure
WARNING: Prior to removing the glass, shut off gas to the
appliance (or remove the batteries from the battery box and shut
off electricity to the fireplace). This prevents any chance of
accidental burner ignition when accessing the firebox.
• ailure to inspect and maintain the fireplace may lead to improper combustion and a potentially dangerous
situation. We recommend the following procedures be done by a qualified technician.
1. Remove the glass frame and log set (NOTE: the logs are very fragile - see page 11). If severely
deteriorated, replace. Check the logs for sooting. A small amount of soot along the bottom of the logs is
normal. If excessive sooting is found, the fireplace will require adjustment. Contact your dealer.
2. Inspect the burner and remove any debris.
• Make sure the burner is not warped, cracked, or damaged.
• Check the firebox and area around the pilot to make sure there is no warping or damage.
• If any problem is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service.
3. Replace the log set. Clean and replace the glasss. If the glass is damaged, replace. Make sure the
gasket along the perimeter of the glass contacts the face of the firebox and forms an air-tight seal. If it
does not, re-align or replace the gasket to insure an air-tight seal.
4. Start the burner. The flames should be orange/yellow and not touch the top of the firebox. If the pilot or
main burners do not burn correctly, contact your dealer for service.
5. Remove any debris or vegetation near the vent termination. Contact your dealer if any sooting or
deterioration is found near the vent termination.

off electricity to the fireplace). This prevents any chance of
accidental burner ignition when accessing the firebox.
Warning: The appliance must be completely cool before removing the glass.
Warning: Do not strike or slam the glass.
The glass frame is held in
place with four latches.
Use the door latch tool to pull the latch forward
and away from the glass frame.
These tabs insert over posts
on the fireplace and help
guide the glass into place.

Ember Placement
Place the embers along the firebox floor and burner to hel conceal the burner. Make sure none of
the embers are directly over the burner holes. See the hoto below.
Rock Wool Placement
The included rock wool is laced on to of the burner to enhance the glow from the burner. The
rock wool works best when it is applied in a very thin porous layer. The best method for
a lying the rock wool is to brush it on to the burner. Com ress a clum of rockwool between your
thumb and forefinger. Use a stiff brush to a ly a thin layer of rockwool fibers onto the burner. Do
not use the entire bag of rockwool. Use only a small amount and save the remainder. Over-use of
rockwool will diminish the glow and may cause sooting or other adverse conditions.
Note how the embers do not
cover any burner holes. Place
the embers around the burner
to create a realistic effect.
