4 Safety Precautions
© Travis Industries 4121120 100-01308
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
* Do not light any appliance
* Extinguish any open flame
* Do not touch any electrical switch or plug or unplug anything
* Open windows and vacate building
* Call gas supplier from neighbor's house, if not reached, call fire department
This unit must be installed by a qualified installer to prevent the possibility of an explosion.
Your dealer will know the requirements in your area and can inform you of those people
considered qualified. The room heater should be inspected and cleaned 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 either approved for natural gas (NG) or for 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.
Check for a label on the flame adjust knob on the gas control valve (this is the best
place to check). You may also check for a label on the gas control valve body.
Contact your local building
officials to obtain a permit and
information on any installation
restrictions or inspection
requirements in your area.
Notify your insurance company
of this heater as well.
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 that has been under
water.

Safety Precautions 5
© Travis Industries 4121120 100-01308
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.
Allow the heater to cool before
carrying out any maintenance or
cleaning.
The viewing glass should be
opened only for conducting
service. Do not operate with
cracked, broken, or removed
glass.
Any safety screen or guard
removed for servicing must be
replaced prior to operating the
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.
Operate the heater according to
the instructions included in this
manual.
If the main burners do not start
correctly turn the gas off at the
gas control valve and call your
dealer for service.
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.
This unit is not for use with solid
fuel
Do not place anything inside the
firebox (except the included fiber
logs).
If the fiber logs become
damaged, replace with Travis
Industries log set.
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.
Children and adults should be
alerted to the hazards of high
surface temperature and should
stay away to avoid burns or
clothing ignition. Young children
should be supervised when they
are in the same room as the
heater.
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).

Operation 7
© Travis Industries 4121120 100-01308
Starting the Fireplace for the 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, thermostat, or wall switch to turn the fireplace on and off. If this is
the case, leave the ON/OFF switch "ON".
Verify the power backup and control light batteries are installed (see page 11).
Turning the Fireplace On and Off
Use the main burner switch to turn the main burner on and off.
NOTE FOR REMOTES, THERMOSTATS, OR WALL SWITCHES:
The on/off switch on the fireplace may be required to be left in the ON or OFF 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. An
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.
Comfort Control
The rear portion of the burner may be shut off to lower the heat output and flame size from the burner
(this is called the comfort control). Use the comfort control switch to adjust this as desired.

Operation 9

Adjusting the 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 15 minutes after starting). See the illustration below for instructions on
adjusting the blower speed.
NOTE: With the rear burner off (comfort control), the heater may not become hot enough for the
blower to turn on.
Continuous Pilot / GreenSmart™ Pilot Switch
This fireplace may run with the pilot continuously running or in GreenSmart (intermittent) mode. For most
homeowners, the GreenSmart mode is preferred (this saves fuel, doesn’t give off un-needed heat).
However, in some situations the homeowner may prefer to switch the fireplace to continuous pilot. The
most typical reasons for switching to continuous pilot are:
Very Cold Conditions – in very cold conditions you may notice that the burner does not light quickly,
and the flames lift off the burner. If this is situation, we recommend you switch to continuous pilot.
This will create a slight draft in the vent, allowing for the burner to light quickly and draft correctly.
Excessive Condensation on Glass After Startup – certain installations may encounter excessive
fogging on the window after stuartup (not just the first time the fireplace was started). This is an
aesthetic condition that may be remedied by switching the fireplace to continuous pilot.
Cold Glass or Fireplace Front – in very cold conditions you may notice that the fireplace front and
glass become very cold. To remedy this, switch the fireplace to continuous pilot.
Frequent On / Off Operation – if you are frequently turning the fireplace on and off, you may wish to
leave it in continuous pilot. This allows the burner to turn on more quickly, without pilot ignition delay.

Normal Operating Sounds
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.
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.
The appliance may creak
with change of temperature
-- THIS IS NORMAL.
Pilot Flame
The pilot flame will make a clicking
sound when starting up. When on, it
will make a slight whisper sound.
Blowers
This heater has optional blowers to push
heated air into the room. You will hear the
sound of air movement increase as the
speed is of the blower is increased.
Extinction Pops
It is not unusual, especially on Propane
(LP) appliances, to experience a "pop"
when the burner is shut off.

Maintenance 11
© Travis Industries 4121120 100-01308
Maintaining Your Fireplace's Appearance
Fingerprints 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.
Battery Replacement
Power Backup Batteries
Four AA batteries are used as a power backup for the fireplace in case the household (AC) power goes out. They
also power the comfort control feature. These batteries must be inserted into battery holder (make sure they contact
the terminals - see the illustration below). The fireplace controller will beep once these batteries start to go dead.
Replace batteries before each heating season to insure proper operation.
Control Panel Light Battery
LED lights and a 9v battery are used to illuminate the control panel when the concealment cover is lifted. If the LED
lights do not operate, replace the 9v battery (see the illustration below). The battery holder is held in place with
Velcro and may be removed for easier access.

Accent Light Replacement
Two accent lights are included in your fireplace to provide additional lighting. These bulbs will burn out
over time. To replace, follow the directions below:
•Shut off gas to the fireplace and let it cool for 15 minutes.
•Remove the glass (see page 15) and logs (see page 17).
•Replace the halogen bulbs with the following bulbs:
(NOTE: .Take care to not touch the bulb with your fingers – use foam packing or paper towel to hold the bulb):
35 Watt 120 Volt T4 Halogen Bulb (G6.35 Base)
Yearly Service Procedure
•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. Turn the pilot flame to continuous. It should touch approximately 3/8" of the top of the flame sensor. If it does
not, contact your dealer for service.
2. Shut off gas to the fireplace and let it cool for 15 minutes. Remove the glass (see page 15).
3. Remove the log set (NOTE: the logs are very fragile - see page 17). 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.
5. Replace the log set. Clean and replace the glass (see Glass Cleaning on page 24). 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 main burner. After 15 minutes 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 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.
