8 Operation
© Travis Industries 4100519 100-01198_001
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.
• Condensation 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.
The Two Modes of Operation
Manual Mode
In manual mode you can turn the fireplace on and off by pressing the “Mode” button until “ON” or
“OFF” appears on the remote.

Mode
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
shutting off gas to 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).
WARNING: If the remote is used as a thermostat for extended periods, make sure the batteries are
charged. We recommend replacing the batteries at the beginning of the heating season. If the
batteries go dead while in thermostat mode, the fireplace will shut off after 2 hours.

Operation 13
© Travis Industries 4100519 100-01198_001
Continuous Pilot – For Very Cold Conditions
This fireplace can be configured to run with an intermittent or continuous (standing) pilot. For
normal conditions we recommend using the intermittent pilot (pilot is on only when the main
burner is on). For 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 “ et” and “Down” arrow buttons. “Continuous Pilot” will appear on the LCD
screen, indicating that the fireplace is configured for a continuous pilot. To reconfigure the
fireplace for an intermittent pilot, press and hold down the “ et” and “Down” arrow buttons until
“Continuous Pilot” is no longer visible on the LCD screen.
Child Protection Feature
The remote can be disabled to prevent children from operating the fireplace. This is done by
holding down the “Fn” and “Up” button for 5 seconds until “CP” (Child Protection) appears on the
screen in the “ROOM” temperature box. 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 “Fn”
and “Down” button for 5 seconds until “CP” (Child Protection) disappears on the screen in the
“ROOM” temperature box
Heat Bypass
This fireplace is equipped with a heat bypass to adjust the amount of heat entering the room. The
bypass is located directly above the glass frame in the center of the fireplace.
Setting the Bypass to the Closed Position (more heat in the room)
Use a 1/4” nutdriver to turn the bypass clockwise.
Setting the Bypass to the Open Position (less heat in the room)
Use a 1/4” nutdriver to turn the bypass counter-clockwise.
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 pilot system.
A separate battery box is included to provide power 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 21).

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.
• Failure 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 16). 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. tart 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.

Glass Frame Removal and Installation
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.
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.
REPLACING THE GLASS
Slide the glass into place and secure the four latches.
Lift and remove the glass frame
cover. Four hooks on the sides of
the coverhold it in place.
