Hearth Requirements•

The fireplace must be placed on a wood or non-combustible sub-floor.

•

No hearth is required.

N O T E:

Carpeting or other floor covering (e.g. linoleum, wood flooring) must not protrude 3/4" above
the base of the fireplace. The fireplace must be raised to accommodate any flooring thicker
than 3/4".

HINT:

We strongly suggest using a tile or non-combustible hearth in front of the fireplace. This
protects the area in front of the fireplace from heat dis-coloration or off-gassing. Travis
Industries can not be responsible for floor discoloration in front of the fireplace.

HINT:

If using a 36-DV Face, please be aware that a 1-1/8" gap will appear below the face. We
suggest a non-combustible hearth in front of the face to conceal this area.

Vent Requirements!

The vent must maintain the required clearance to combustible materials to prevent a fire (see“Clearances” below). Do not fill air spaces with insulation.

!

The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, and never
be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance. Each direct vent gas
appliance must use it's own separate vent system.

Altitude Considerations
This fireplace has been tested at altitudes ranging from sea level to 8,000 feet (2,400 M). In this testing we havefound that the fireplace, 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.

Approved Vent Configurations
Restrictor Position•

A vent and intake restrictor is built into the appliance to adjust the flow rate of exhaust gases.
Depending upon the vent configuration, you may be required to adjust the restrictor position. The
charts for acceptable vent configurations detail the correct vent restrictor position.
TO CHANGE THE RESTRICTOR (both intake & vent restrictor must be set to the correct position):
1) Remove the baffle
2) Remove the two screws holding the vent restrictor plate.
3) Move the vent restrictor plate so the correct hole lines up with the holes in the back of the firebox.
4) Replace the two screws. Replace the baffle.
5) Remove the two screws holding the intake restrictor plate.
6) Move the intake restrictor plate so the correct hole lines up with the holes in the back of the firebox.

Gas Line Requirements!

The gas line must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, follow ANSI 223.1 andthe 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. For pressures under 1/2 psig,
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.

Fuel•This fireplace is designed either for natural gas or for propane (but not for both). Check the
sticker on the top of the gas control valve to make sure the correct fuel is used.

Gas Line Connection•

A manual shutoff valve is required for installation (within 3’ of the heater or inside the fireplace). THandle gas cocks are required in Massachusetts in compliance with code 248CMR.

If the vent configuration is installed incorrectly the vent may cause the flames inside the fireplace to liftor "ghost" – a dangerous situation. Inspect the flames after installation to insure proper performance.
If the vent configuration is correct, yet the flames are lifting or ghosting, shut off gas to the fireplaceand contact the dealer for information on remedying the problem.

!

This fireplace has been tested at altitudes up to 8,000 feet. In this testing we have found that the
fireplace, with its standard orifice, burns correctly with just an air shutter adjustment. If local codes
require resizing the orifice, in the U.S.A. refer to ANSI 223.1, Appendix P, in Canada B-149.1 or B149.2!

Failure to properly adjust the air shutter may lead to improper combustion and asafety hazard. Consult your dealer or installer if you suspect an improperly
adjusted air shutter.

Starting the Fireplace for the First Time+

Burn the fireplace 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.

+

Dust may accumulate inside the convection area of the fireplace when left idle. Once the fireplace isre-started, a “smoky” smell may be created (similar to a baseboard fireplace when it is re-started).

+

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 willturn 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/OFF switch "ON".

Failure to inspect and maintain the fireplace may lead to improper combustion and a potentially dangerous
situation. The following procedures must be done by a qualified technician.
Check the pilot flame. It should touch approximately 3/8" of the top of the thermopile and touch the top of thethermocouple (see illustration below). If it does not, contact your dealer for service.
Shut off gas to the fireplace by turning the gas control knob to "OFF" (see step A under "Starting the Pilot" onpage 29). Let the fireplace cool for 15 minutes. Remove the faceplate (see page 13 or 14) and glass (see page
24).
Remove the log set (NOTE: the logs are very fragile - see page 25). 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.
Clean the burner tube (especially the burner holes) and inspect the following:•
Check the burner for cracked holes, warpage, or corrosion.
•
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 walls and ceiling of the firebox fordeterioration.
Make sure theburner is notwarped or
damaged.

Before Disassembly Check the pilot flame. It
should touch thethermocouple andthermopile.

How this Fireplace Works!

This fireplace was designed with safety as the primary concern. Many of the components inside thisfireplace are for safety purposes. Therefore, only certified gas service technicians should service thisfireplace.

What Turns the Main Burners On and Off

When heated, the thermopile
generates electricity (a very small
amount measured in "Millivolts").

This electricity isused to operate themain burners.

The main burners
are switched on and
off using theelectricity generated
by the thermopile.
The ON/OFF switch,
remote control, or
thermostat control
the circuit to the mainburner.

MAIN BURNER

This fireplace uses a millivolt system to control its operation (a millivolt is a very small amount ofelectricity). The thermopile and thermocouple generate electricity when heated by the pilot flame.
This electricity is used to operate the gas valve. Without enough electricity, the gas valve will not turnon. That is why when starting the pilot the gas control knob has to be pressed in long enough for thethermocouple to heat up and generate enough electricity. The thermopile provides power for the
ON/OFF switch, remote control, or thermostat (see the illustration below). Because the thermopile
generates the electricity needed to turn the fireplace on and off, this fireplace can be operated when
the power is out (although the blower will not run).

ON

OFF

What Prevents Gas Buildup+This appliance utilizes a high-technology gas valve in conjunction with a pilot flame to ensure no gas
builds up inside the firebox.

+

The thermocouple (next to the pilot) senses when the pilot flame is lit. If the pilot flame goes out, thisthermocouple no longer generates electricity, causing the gas valve to automatically shut off all gas tothe fireplace, preventing the pilot from spilling gas into the firebox.

Pilot Flame
The pilot flame is a time-provencomponent that eliminates the possibilityof gas buildup inside the firebox.
Gas ValveThis high-technology valve automaticallyshuts off all gas if it does not receive a signal
from the thermocouple. If any component isdamaged or sensing a malfunction, or if thewiring is damaged, it will shut off all gas.
Thermocouple
The thermocouple generates a small
amount of electricity. If the pilot flame
goes out, the gas valve automaticallyshuts off all gas.

Travis Industries

External Shut Off Valve
This valve is placed on the gas line
to shut off gas to the applianceduring maintenance procedures.

Ceramic Glass
The glass in your heater is the mostdurable glass available. It has beentested to be extremely resistant tobreakage from temperature changes.

Install the fireback prior to installing the log set.

a

Locate the four dimples on the firebox walls (twoon the back, one on each side). Use a power drill
with a 1/4” socket and the included self-drillingscrews to pre-drill (and thread) the holes. Do not
strip the threads by over-torquing the screws.
Remove the screws.
NOTE: on earlier models these holes are notpresent - they will require placement and drilling see the compatibility note above.

dInstall the fireback floor pieces at the front of the firebox.
You may need to lift up on the grate at the front of the burner
to install the floor pieces. Tuck the front brick stop between
the front of the fireback and the front of the firebox - thebrick stop prevents the floor fireback from contacting
the glass.

1/4” Socketb

Place the rear fireback so it is centered against
the rear wall of the firebox. Secure with two
fireback clips and the screws.

cPlace the side firebacks in place. Securewith a fireback clip and screw. Repeat
for the opposite side.
