Can/ULC S635, Standard Lining Systems for Existing Masonry or Factory- Built Chimney & Vents, or
CAN/ULC S640, Standard for Lining Systems for New Masonry Chimneys.

Drafting Performance
This appliance relies upon natural draft to operate. External forces, such as wind, barometric pressure,
topography, or factors of the home (negative pressure from exhaust fans, chimneys, air infiltration, etc.),
may adversely affect draft. Travis Industries can not be responsible for external forces leading to less
than optimal performance.
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 (see Figure 5).
Figure 5
Leveling Bolt Installation
Two leveling bolts are pre-installed on the insert to allow for
proper leveling within the fireplace. To access the bolts,
remove the back corner firebricks and cover plates (see
Figure 6 “a” and “b”) The bolts are pre-threaded to a weld-
nut on the base of the insert. Use a 3/4” socket wrench to
screw the bolts down (clockwise) until the insert is level
(see “c”).
MASONRY NOTE: You may wish to place a metal plate
below the bolt if the masonry is weak.
SEALING THE COVER PLATE: We recommend sealing
the cover plate with furnace cement (place on underside of
cover plate).
BOLT LENGTH: The included bolts allow approximately 1”
of rise. If additional rise is required, use a longer 1/2-13
thread bolt. Make sure the additional bolt length does not
interfere with the cover plate.

Flue Installation
The flue must be 6” diameter and a minimum 24 gauge black steel.
Use a starter section and screws to secure the flue to the insert. The starter section may require a
notch to fit over the bypass rod.

2. Adjust the position of the side panels so they are: 1) flush with the bottom of the insert; 2) both the
same distance back from the front of the insert; 3) perpendicular to the floor (use the top panel, if
necessary, to judge alignment). Tighten the screws that hold the side panels in place.

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.
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" away from the front of the stove (drapes, furniture, clothing, etc.).
Curing the Paint
This heater uses a heat-activated paint that will emit some fumes while
starting the first fire. Open doors and windows to the room to vent these
fumes. This typically lasts two to four hours. You may also notice oil burning
off of the interior of the heater. This rust-stopping agent will soon dissipate.
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.

2 to 4 hours
Over-Firing the Stove
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 stove top 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 stove top -
temperatures exceeding 800° are generally considered over-firing and will void the warranty.

Opening the Door
The door becomes hot during use. Use a glove to open the door if the handle is hot.
To prevent smoke from entering the room, open the bypass before opening the door (see following
page for directions). You can also open the door a small amount and let air enter the firebox.

Bypass Operation
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
Since the dawn of time man has debated the best way to start a fire. Some use the boy-scout "tee-pee",
some prefer the "tic-tac-toe" stack. Either way, review the hints and warnings below to ensure proper fire
starting.
•Make sure the air control and by-pass are pulled out. If additional air is needed, open the doors 1/4"
during the first five minutes of start-up.

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 firestarter, 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.

Use the air control to
change the burn rate.
Approximate Air Control Settings:
Overnight Burn Fully in to 1/8" open
Medium Burn 1/8" to 5/8" open
Medium High Burn 5/8" to fully open
High Burn Fully open (pulled out)
The air control becomes hot during operation - use gloves or a tool to prevent burns.
The air control may take several minutes to influence the burn rate. When making adjustments, you
may wish to let the stove burn for 10 minutes to gauge performance.
Ash Removal
ASHES
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes
should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, away from all combustible
materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally
dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly
cooled.

Re-Loading the Stove
Follow the directions below to minimize smoke spillage while re-loading the stove.
1 Open the air control all the way (pull out). Open the bypass (pull out).
2 Open the door slightly. Let the airflow inside the firebox to stabilize before opening the doors fully.
3 Load wood onto the fire.
Overnight Burn
This stove is large enough to accommodate burn times up to eight hours. Follow the steps below to
achieve an overnight burn.
1 Move the air control to high burn and let the stove become hot (burn for approximately 15 minutes).
2 Load as much wood as possible. Use large pieces if possible.
3 Let the stove burn on high for 15 minutes to keep the stove hot, then turn the air control to low.
4 In the morning the stove should still be hot, with embers in the coal bed. Stir the coals and load
small pieces of wood to re-ignite the fire, if desired.
Differences if chimney height and draft may lower overall burn times.
