Starting T e Pilot Flame
The pilot flame is required to ignite the
main burners (it also plays a safety role). It
should be left on once lit. It will stay lit
unless the gas control valve is turned to
"O ". However, the pilot will go out if the
gas is shut off, the propane tank runs out (or
low) or if the stove malfunctions. If the pilot
turns off frequently, call your dealer for
information. To start the pilot follow the
directions below:
WARNING:
When lighting or re-lighting the pilot, the
glass must be removed (see page 10).
aRemove the glass (see page 10 for
details).
bPush the gas control knob in slightly and
turn it to the "O " position. The knob
will not turn from "ON" to "O " unless the
knob is depressed slightly. Wait five
minutes to let any gas that may have
accumulated inside the firebox escape.
If you smell leaking gas, follow the
directions on the cover "I YOU SMELL
GAS".
cTurn the gas control knob to the "PILOT"
position and press the knob in, this will
allow gas to flow to the pilot light. Press
the button on the pilot igniter repeatedly
until you see the pilot light.
WARNING:
If the pilot does not light after 15 seconds,
release the knob and call your dealer for
service. Do not attempt to light pilot until
service has been performed.
NOTE:
You may ish to remove the log set to gain
a better vie of the pilot (see page 15).
dKeep the gas control knob depressed for
30 seconds once it is lit.
eRelease the gas control knob. If the pilot
goes out, repeat step C. If the pilot
refuses to stay lit, call your dealer for
service. With the pilot lit, proceed to step
“f”.
fReplace the glass.
gTurn the gas control knob counter-
clockwise to "ON". The pilot is now lit
and the heater can be turned on and off.

8 Operation

Starting t e Fireplace for t e First Time
• Burn the heater at a high setting with the blower off 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.
• Certain installations use a remote "wall switch" to turn the fireplace on and off. If this is the
case, leave the ON/O switch "ON".

NOTE FOR REMOTES, THERMOSTATS, OR WALL SWITCHES:
The on/off switch on the fireplace may be required to be left in the ON or O position for the fireplace
to operate. Consult your installer or dealer for details.
• Do not place any combustible items on top of or directly in front of the fireplace, even
temporarily. The optional thermostat may start the fireplace causing a combustible item to
ignite.
• If the fireplace turns on and off frequently while using the thermostat, you may want to adjust
the flame height down until it produces just enough heat needed.
Adjusting t e Flame Heig t
• Your fireplace has an adjustable flame to tailor the look and heat output to your specific needs.
It is adjusted by turning the middle dial on the gas control valve.

Adjusting t e Optional Blower Speed
The blower helps transfer heat from the heater into the room. It will not turn on until the heater is
up to temperature (approximately 10 minutes after starting). See the illustration below for
instructions on adjusting the blower speed.
OFF
Turn the dial all the
way counter-clockwise
until it clicks off.
HIGH
The high position is all the
way counter-clockwise,
without clicking off.
LOW
Turn the dial all the
way clockwise.
Normal Operating Sounds
Gas Control Valve
As the gas control valve is turned
on and off you will hear a dull
clicking sound. This is the valve
opening up and shutting down.
Blower Snap Disk
This part can produce a
clicking sound as it turns
the blower on and off.
The appliance may creak with change of
temperature -- THIS IS NORMAL.
Pilot Flame
The pilot flame, which remains on,
makes a very slight "whisper" sound.
Blowers
This heater has optional blowers to push
heated air into the room. You will hear the
sound of air movement that increases as
the speed is increased.
Extinction Pops
It is not unusual, especially on Propane
(LP) appliances, to experience a "pop"
when the burner is shut off.
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.

10 Maintenance
© Travis Industries 4071130 100-01196_000
Maintaining Your Fireplace's Appearance
ingerprints or other marks left on the optional plated surface may become etched in place if they
are not wiped clean prior to turning the fireplace on. Clean the plated surface with denatured
alcohol and a soft cloth (with the fireplace cool). Other cleaners may leave a film that may
become etched into the surface.
Yearly Service Procedure
• 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. Check the pilot flame. It should touch approximately 3/8" of the top of the thermopile and touch the top of
the thermocouple (see illustration below). If it does not, contact your dealer for service.
2. Shut off gas to the fireplace by turning the gas control knob to "O " (see step A under "Starting the Pilot"
on page 7). Let the fireplace cool for 15 minutes. Remove the glass (see page 10).
3. Remove the log set (NOTE: the logs are very fragile - see page 15). 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.
4. 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.
Check the burner holes.
Make sure the burners are not
warped or damaged.
Thermopile Pilot Hood
Thermocouple
Before Disassembly - Check the pilot flame (it can
be viewed from the front - you will need to look under
the center log). It should touch the thermocouple and
thermopile.
Check the walls and ceiling of the
firebox for deterioration.
5. Replace the log set. Clean and replace the glass (see Glass Cleaning on page 25). 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.
6. Inspect the area behind the access door. Clean if necessary. Check the gas control valve and the gas
lines. If damage is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service. Clean the air channels,
ducts, and blower (if applicable).
7. Start the pilot and turn on the main 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. Monitor the
blower operation.
8. Remove any debris or vegetation near the vent termination. Contact your dealer if any sooting or
deterioration is found near the vent termination.
