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).
• 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 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. Check the label and flame adjust knob on the gas control valve.
• 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.
• 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.

Safety Precautions 5

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 at the gas control valve and call your dealer for
service.
• This unit is not for use with solid fuel.
• Do not place anything inside the firebox (except the included 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.
• Do not touch the hot surfaces of the heater. Educate all children of the danger of a high-temperature
heater. Young children should be supervised when they are in the same room as the 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).

Altitude Considerations
• This heater has been tested at altitudes ranging from sea level to 6,000 feet. 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 Installation
• Slide the vent sections together and turn 1/4 turn until the sections lock
in place.
• Screws are not required to secure the vent. However, three screws may
be used to secure vent sections together if desired.
• High temperature sealant is recommended at the appliance starter
section connection (use high-temperature silicone or Mill-Pac® .
• If disassembly is required, at time of re-assembly check to see if the vent
creates a tight fit. If it does not, apply high temperature sealant to the
joints of the affected sections.
• Horizontal sections require a 1/4" rise every 12" of travel
• Horizontal sections require non-combustible support every three feet (e.g.: plumbing tape

TOP VENTREAR VENT
NOTE: In cases where the vent is routed vertically
directly above the fireplace, you may place a 90°
elbow directly on top of the fireplace, followed by a
45° elbow that directs the vent upwards. For vent
configuration purposes this is considered a top vent
and the 90° and 45° elbow is considered a single
45° elbow.
