Planning The Installation
We suggest that you have an authorized Travis Industries dealer install your stove If you install the
stove yourself, your authorized dealer should review your installation plans
Check with local building officials for any permits required for installation of this stove and notify your
insurance company before proceeding with installation
Preparation for Installation
The stove can be lightened by removing the firebricks and baffle (pg 29) - replace before operation
• Check for damage to the exterior of the stove
• Check the interior of the firebox (replace cracked firebrick and make sure baffle is in place)
• The door (shipped separately - SKU 96100612 or 96100724) must be installed prior to operation
• The stove must be placed on legs (see page 34) or a pedestal (see page 34)
Stove Installation Considerations
The table below details the six most common types of installations and the considerations for each type
Alternative methods of installation are available if they comply with local building codes
Installation Type Considerations
Standard Ceiling with a Factory Built Chimney
(Page 15)
• Requires ceiling and roof penetration
• Provides best draft
Cathedral Ceiling with a Factory Built Chimney
(Page 15)
• Cathedral style chimney support required
• Provides best draft
Hearth Stove Positive Connection
(Page 16)
• Utilizes existing masonry fireplace (not approved for zero
clearance (metal) fireplaces)
• Provides good draft due to full reline
• Easier to clean than direct or horizontal hearth stove
Hearth Stove Direct Connection
(Page 17)
• Utilizes existing masonry fireplace (not approved for zero
clearance (metal) fireplaces)
• Requires construction of a "block-off plate"
• Draft reduced due to elbows & chimney cross section

Chimney Connector Requirements
• Chimney connector is required from the flue collar of the stove to the factory-built chimney (see
Figure 5) or masonry chimney (see Figures 13, 14, and 15)
• The chimney connector must be 6” diameter and a minimum 24 gauge black steel, 26 gauge blued
steel, or one of the reduced-clearance connectors listed on page 8
NOTE: Aluminum or galvanized steel is not allowed – these materials can not withstand the flue
temperatures and may give off toxic fumes when heated
NOTE: Standard residential installations may use single-wall connector (Mobile-Homes may not)
• The chimney connector may not pass through a ceiling, attic, roof, closet, or any other concealed
space (use listed UL 103 HT chimney – see “Chimney Requirements for details) DO NOT USE
CONNECTOR PIPE AS CHIMNEY
• The chimney connector should be as short and direct as possible No more than 180o of elbows (two
90o elbows, or two 45o & one 90o elbow, etc ) may be used for the entire system (connector and
chimney) Horizontal runs should slope upwards 1/4” per foot and be a maximum 36” long
• The chimney connector must be installed with the crimped end pointing downwards (see Figure 4)
This prevents creosote from leaking to the exterior of the pipe
On singlewall pipe
the crimped end
points downward.
Figure 4
• The chimney connector must be fastened to the stove and each adjoining section (and chimney)

Safety Notice
If this appliance is not properly installed, a house fire may result For your safety, follow the installation
directions Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation inspection
requirements in your area
Read and follow all of the warnings on pages 4 and 5 of this manual
Before Your First Fire
Verify the Installation
Before starting the stove, verify that the stove is properly installed and all of the requirements in this
manual have been followed
Keep all flammable materials 36" away from the front of the stove (drapes, furniture, clothing, etc )
Curing the Paint
This heater uses a heat-activated paint that will emit some fumes while starting
the first fire Open doors and windows to the room to vent these fumes This
typically lasts two to four hours You may also notice oil burning off of the interior
of the heater This rust-stopping agent will soon dissipate
Door Gasket - The door gasket might adhere to the paint on the front of the
heater Leave the door slightly ajar for the first fire and be careful when opening
the door after the first fire

Over-Firing the Stove
This stove was designed to operate at a high temperature But due to differences in vent configuration,
fuel, and draft, this appliance can be operated at an excessive temperature If the stove top or other area
starts to glow red, you are over-firing the stove Shut the air control down to low and allow the stove to
cool before proceeding
Over-firing may lead to damage of plated surfaces If you are uncertain of over-firing conditions, we
suggest placing a stove thermometer (e g Rutland® Model 710) directly over the door on the stove top -
temperatures exceeding 800° are generally considered over-firing and will void the warranty

Starting a Fire
Since the dawn of time man has debated the best way to start a fire Some use the boy-scout "tee-pee",
some prefer the "tic-tac-toe" stack Either way, review the hints and warnings below to ensure proper fire
starting
• Make sure the air control and is pulled out If additional air is needed, open the doors 1/4" during the
first five minutes of start-up
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start
or "freshen up" a fire in this stove Keep all such liquids well away from the stove while it is in use
If using a firestarter, use only products specifically designed for stoves - follow the manufacturer's
instructions carefully
If the smoke does not pass up the chimney, ball up one sheet of newspaper, place it in the center of the
firebox and light it This should start the chimney drafting (this eliminates "cold air blockage")
Use plenty of kindling to ensure the stove reaches a proper temperature Once the kindling is burning
rapidly, place a few larger pieces of wood onto the fire
Starting a “Top-Down Fire”
One particularly successful method for starting a fire is to
stack several large pieces of wood in the center of the stove
(see the illustration to the right) Then place a several wads
of newspaper in the center with kindling on top When you
light the newspaper this “top-down” fire will burn its way to
the center, igniting the larger pieces With some practice,
this method should work for you
