4Safety Precautions
© Travis Industries 4140813 100-01296
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 Precautions 5

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.
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.

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.

Factory-Built (Metal) Wood-Burning Fireplace Requirements
NOTE: Any parts that are removed must be removed in a way that would allow them to be re-
installed if the insert is ever removed (removal of rivets or screws is acceptable).
The damper ("A") and grate (with log set) ("B") must be removed (see the illustration below)
The smoke shelf ("C"), internal baffles ("D"), screen ("E"), masonry lining or refractory ("G" & "I"), and
metal or glass doors ("F") may be removed (if applicable)
The fireplace must be permanently marked to
indicate that it has been altered and is no longer
suitable for burning solid fuel (wood), unless the
removed parts are re-installed. Cutting of any
metal or glass parts is prohibited.
The insulation ("H"), and any structured rigid frame
members must not be removed or altered (side and
top of door frame, side and top of the face of the
fireplace, metal sides, etc.).
The metal floor ("J") may be removed to allow
additional room for installation of the insert. If the
floor is removed the insert must be placed directly
on the metal base of the metal fireplace.
The surround panels should not seal ventilation
openings on the fireplace.
If the factory-built fireplace has no gas access hole(s) provided, an access hole of 1.5 inch (37.5 mm)
or less may be drilled through the lower sides or bottom of the firebox in a proper workmanship like
manner. This access hole must be plugged with non-combustible insulation after the gas supply line
has been installed.

Attach the "This fireplace has been altered..." plate to the fireplace (use two screws or other suitable
method). You may wish to place it in a location where it will be covered by the surround panels.
Hearth Requirements
The heater and face must not contact combustible surfaces. A non-combustible hearth extension is
not required. However, if the heater is installed next to the floor, we recommend a hearth to protect
the flooring surface from discoloration or other negative impact from the heater.

Fireplace dampers must be removed or welded in the open position prior to the installation of a fireplace insert or media.
A carbon monoxide (CO) detector is required in the same room as the appliance.
The gas line must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, follow ANSI 223.1
and the requirements listed below.
A manual shutoff valve is required within 3’ of the heater. It should be placed upstream of the flex
line (if used) and may be installed behind the access door inside the heater. ).
The heater 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. For pressures under 1/2
psig, 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 heater.
This heater is designed either for natural gas or for propane (but not for both). Check the sticker
on the top of the gas control valve to make sure the correct fuel is used (see illustration on page
4).
Installation must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier (In
Massachusetts a licensed plumber/gasfitter).

Vent Requirements
Travis Industries manufactures a
vent kit specifically for this insert
(sku 96200330). It includes 30’
(10M) of vent, hose clamps, and a
prairie cap. The flashing on the cap
is 18” (458mm) by 18” (458mm).
The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, and never
be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance. Each direct vent
gas appliance must use its own separate vent system.
Make sure the exhaust pipe on the heater connects to the exhaust portion of the cap. The
illustrations below show how the flex liners should be attached.
The exhaust vent must reline the entire length of the chimney and terminate above the chimney top.
Be careful not to crimp or rupture the liner when bending it into chimney offsets.
When installed, the vent must meet all of the vent manufacturer's requirements.
Use the following vent:
3” UL 441 or 1777 Gas Liner for Exhaust and Air Inlet
Duravent Chimney Liner Termination Kit (3” & 3” Co-Linear to 6-5/8” Co-Axial w Flashing)
Simpson Duravent High-Wind Vertical Termination Cap (46DVA-VCH) or Prairie Cap
Altitude Considerations
This heater has been tested at altitudes ranging from sea level to 6,000 feet (1,800 M). In this testing
we have found that the heater, with its standard orifice, burns correctly with just an air shutter
adjustment.
Failure to adjust the air shutter properly may lead to improper combustion which can create a safety
hazard. Consult your dealer or installer if you suspect an improperly adjusted air shutter.

Vent Restrictor
WARNING: Restrictor adjustment should only be done by a qualified installer.
Only those installations determined to be over-drafting require this adjustment. The best indication of
over-drafting is a hyper-active flame pattern (flames that move too quickly). If the air shutter is
constricted, the flames become short and yellow, yet still very active. Over-drafting may affect the pilot,
but this is not the best way to determine over-drafting. Over-drafting is most likely in tall venting
configurations. Do not over-restrict the vent (this leads to ghosting or lifting flames - reduce restrictor
setting).
The restrictor is adjusted with the face removed. Start with the restrictor in position number 1. Monitor
the flame for 5 minutes before adjusting. Move the restrictor a maximum two positions at a time by lifting
the adjustment plate and moving it until the correct notch falls into the slot on the adjustment bracket (use
a glove if the heater is hot - see illustration below). Monitor the flame for 5 minutes to determine correct
restrictor position and repeat restrictor adjustment if necessary.

Vent Location
A vent restrictor is built into the appliance to adjust the flow rate of exhaust gases. This ensures
proper combustion for all vent configurations. Depending upon the vent configuration, you may be
required to adjust the restrictor position.
NOTE: The vent location changes based upon restrictor position. Position # 1 is shown below. Each
restrictor position moves the vent location forward (toward the fireplace opening) approximately ¼” (7mm).

Vent Connector Removal and Installation
The vent connector is shipped attached to the insert, but may be removed to facilitate tight
installations. See the directions below for installation.
1. Route the flex vent through the chimney from above (leave an extra 3' at the top). Make sure the flex
is thoroughly stretched.
2. Remove the vent connector and attach it to the flex vent (see the instructions on the following page).
NOTE: be careful of the anti-seize on the connector – it will stain clothing, etc.
3. Pull on the flex vent until the vent connector is at the same height as the insert. Temporarily attach
the flex vent to the top of the chimney (leave extra slack).
4. Slide the insert into place, guiding the vent connector into the guides on top of the insert.
5. Attach the vent connector to the appliance (see the following page for details).
6. Remove any excess slack in the flex line and attach the vent termination.

NOTE: The panels may be cut down in size and placed within the fireplace opening.
Routing the Power Cord
Because this panel fits flush against the fireplace facing, the panel does not have a notch allowing the power
cord to exit the fireplace. We recommend using the insert wiring kit (sku 97200315) to route power to the
insert. Otherwise, route the power cord behind the panel to the right side (the panel or fireplace may be
notched, if required).
Installation
1. Attach the mounting brackets as shown below.
2. Attach the surround panel as shown below.

the wires do not contact any hot or moving parts.

The on/off switch may be installed in the surround panel (preferred for 3-piece panels) or control panel ( on 1-piece
panel or inside-fit panels). See below for installation details.
1 Disconnect the red and brown wires leading to the on/off switch.
2 Insert the wires through the rectangular mounting hole.
3 Attach the wires to the top and bottom posts on one side of the switch. It does not matter which
wire is on top.
