Safety Precautions 3
© Travis Industries 4100716 100-01254_000
Safety Warnings:
•Failure to follow all of the requirements may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.
•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.
•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 room heater should be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified service person.
More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc.
•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.
•Do not place clothing or other flammable items on or near the heater. 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 it.
•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
manual. All other work must be done by a trained technician. Don't modify or replace orifices.
•The viewing glass should be opened only for conducting service.
•Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing must be replaced prior to operating the heater.

4 Safety Precautions
© Travis Industries 4100716 100-01254_000
Safety Warnings (continued):
•Allow the heater to cool before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning.
•Operate the heater according to the instructions included in this manual.
•If the main burners do not start correctly turn the gas off and call your dealer for service.
•This unit is not for use with solid fuel.
•Do not place anything inside the firebox (except the optional artwork).
•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.
•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.
•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.
•Travis Industries, Inc. grants no warranty, implied or stated, for the installation or
maintenance of your heater, and assumes no responsibility of any consequential damage(s).

NFPA 54(88), in Canada follow CSA B149.1 and the requirements listed below.
•The fireplace 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 (3.5 kPA). For pressures
under 1/2 psig (3.5 kPA), 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 fireplace.
•The fireplace has an internal shutoff valve. An additional shutoff valve is required. It must be
accessible and within 6’ of the fireplace.
Fuel
•This fireplace is designed either for natural gas or for propane (but not for both).
Gas Line Connection
•Installation must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier (In Massachusetts a
licensed plumber/gasfitter).
Gas Inlet Pressure Maximum Input Pressure Minimum Input Pressure
Natural Gas 7" W.C. (1.74 kPA) 5.5” W.C. (1.37 kPA)
Propane 13" W.C. (3.23 kPA) 11” W.C. (2.74 kPA)
•If the pressure is not sufficient, make sure the piping used is large enough, the supply regulator is adequately
adjusted, and the total gas load for the residence does not exceed the amount supplied.
•The supply regulator (the regulator that attaches directly to the residence inlet or to the propane tank) should
supply gas at the input pressure listed above. Contact the local gas supplier if the regulator is at an improper
pressure.
