Stove Installation (for qualified installers only)

Chimney Connector Requirements•

Chimney connector is required from the flue collar of the stove to the factory-built chimney (seeFigure 5) or masonry chimney (see Figures 13, 14, and 15).

•

The chimney connector must be 6” (152mm) 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 fluetemperatures 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 180 o of elbows (two90o elbows, or two 45o & one 90o elbow, etc.) may be used for the entire system (connector andchimney).. Horizontal runs should slope upwards 1/4” (6mm) per foot (305mm) and be a maximum
36” long (914mm).

•

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).

•Use 6" diameter type UL 103 HT chimney from one manufacturer (do not mix brands) or code
approved masonry chimney with a flue liner.

•

Chimney must be fastened to each adjoining section.

•

Follow the chimney manufacturer's clearances and requirements.

•

Use the chimney manufacturer's fire stops, attic guards, roof supports, and flashings when passing
through a ceiling•

No more than 180o of elbows (two 90o elbows, or two 45o & one 90o elbow, etc.) may be used for theentire system (connector and chimney).
NOTE: Additional elbows may be allowed if draft is sufficient. Whenever elbows are used the draft isadversely affected. Additional chimney height may be required to boost draft.

Drafting
Performance(as outlined in this manual)
Figure 5This appliance relies upon natural draft to operate. External forces, such as wind,barometric pressure, topography, or factors of the home (negative pressure from exhaust
fans, chimneys, air infiltration, etc.), may adversely affect draft. Travis Industries can not be
responsible for external forces leading to less than optimal performance.

Operating Your Appliance

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 thismanual have been followed.
Keep all flammable materials 36" away from the front of the stove (drapes, furniture, clothing, etc.).

Curing the Paint

2 to 4 hours

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. Thistypically lasts two to four hours. You may also notice oil burning off of the interiorof the heater. This rust-stopping agent will soon dissipate.
Door Gasket - The door gasket might adhere to the paint on the front of theheater. Leave the door slightly ajar for the first fire and be careful when opening
the door after the first fire.

AA
AAA
A

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 tocool before proceeding.
Over-firing may lead to damage of plated surfaces. If you are uncertain of over-firing conditions, wesuggest 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.

Operating Your Appliance

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 firestarting.
•

Make sure the air control and is pulled out. If additional air is needed, open the doors 1/4" during thefirst five minutes of start-up.

Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to startor "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 thefirebox 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 tostack several large pieces of wood in the center of the stove(see the illustration to the right). Then place a several wadsof newspaper in the center with kindling on top. When you
light the newspaper this “top-down” fire will burn its way tothe center, igniting the larger pieces. With some practice,
this method should work for you.

The air control becomes hot during operation - use gloves or a tool to prevent burns.
The air control may take several minutes to influence the burn rate. When making adjustments, you
may wish to let the stove burn for 10 minutes to gauge performance.

Ash Removal
ASHES

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes
should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, away from all combustible
materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locallydispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughlycooled.

Re-Loading the Stove
Follow the directions below to minimize smoke spillage while re-loading the stove.
1

Open the air control all the way (pull it out).

2

Open the door slightly. Let the airflow inside the firebox to stabilize before opening the doors fully.

3

Load wood onto the fire.

Overnight Burn
This stove is large enough to accommodate burn times up to ten hours. Follow the steps below toachieve an overnight burn.
1

Move the air control to high burn and let the stove become hot (burn for approximately 15 minutes).

2

Load as much wood as possible. Use large pieces if possible.

3

Let the stove burn on high for 15 minutes to keep the stove hot, then turn the air control to low.

4

In the morning the stove should still be hot, with embers in the coal bed. Stir the coals and load
small pieces of wood to re-ignite the fire, if desired.
Differences if chimney height and draft may lower overall burn times.

Normal Operating Sounds
Creaks and Clicks:
The 3/16" and 1/4" steel may creak or click when thestove heats up and cools down - this is normal.
Blower Sounds:
The blower will make a slight "humm" as it
pushes air through the stove.
Hint:
Make sure the leveling bolts on legs are extended preventing the hearth from amplifying any vibrations.

Hints for Burning•Get the appliance hot before adjusting to low burn•Use smaller pieces of wood during start-up and high burns to increase temperature•

Use larger pieces of wood for overnight or sustained burns•

Stack the wood tightly together to establish a longer burn•Leave a bed of ashes (1/2" deep) to allow for longer burns•

Be considerate of neighbors & the environment: burn dry wood only•

Burn small, intense fires instead of large, slow burning fires when possible•

Learn your appliance's operating characteristics to obtain optimum performance

Selecting Wood•

Dry Wood is Key•

Dry wood burns hot, emits lesssmoke and creates less creosote.

•

Testing Wood Moisture•

Split wood stored in a dry area will
be fully dry within a year. This
insures dry wood. If purchasing
wood for immediate use, test thewood with a moisture meter. Someexperienced wood burners canmeasure wood moisture byknocking pieces together andlistening for a clear "knock" and nota "thud".

Why Dry Wood is Key
Wet wood, when burned, must release water stored within the wood. This cools the fire, createscreosote, and hampers a complete burn. Ask any experienced wood burner and he or she will agree: drywood is crucial to good performance.

Wood Cutting and Storage
Cut wood to length andchop into quarters.

Store the wood off the ground in acovered area. Allow for airflow
around the wood to dry the wood.

Troubleshooting
ProblemPossible Cause

Smoke Enters Room DuringStart-Up•

Open the air control (pg. 21).

•

Cold Air Blockage - burn a piece of newspaper toestablish a draft.

•

If the flame is not getting enough air, a small crack inthe door is all that is needed.

•

Open the air control (pg. 21).

•Not enough starter paper - use additional newspaper ifnecessary.

•

If the flame is not getting enough air, a small crack inthe door is all that is needed.

•

Open the air control before opening the door (pg. 21).

•

Let the air stabilize before fully opening the door. Then
open the door approximately 1 inch. Let air go into thefirebox for a few seconds. Once the smoke appears to
be flowing up the chimney consistently, open the door.

•

Insufficient Draft - Chimney height and outside
conditions can negatively affect draft. In these cases asmall amount of smoke may enter the home. Adding
more pipe or a draft-inducing cap may help.

Make sure the air control is all the way open. Slide thecontrol back and forth to insure the control is not stuck.

•

Insufficient Draft - Chimney height and outside
conditions can negatively affect draft. In these cases
the fire may burn slowly. Adding more pipe or a draftinducing cap may help.

•

Stove is Not Up to Temperature - This is normal. The
blower will come on when the stove is hot - usually 15
to 30 minutes.

•

Electricity is Cut to the Blower - Check the household
breaker or fuse to make sure it is operable.

•

Depending upon wood, draft, and other factors, theburn time may be shorter then stated. Make sure thedoors are sealing and not allowing air into the firebox See the section "Door and Glass Inspection" on page
26 for details.

•

Check the ash bed for coals. Often, coals are still
glowing under a slight bed of flyash. By raking these
into a pile you can re-start your stove quickly.

Maintaining Your Appliance

25

Failure to properly maintain and inspect your appliance may reduce the performance and life of theappliance, void your warranty, and create a fire hazard.

Daily Maintenance (while stove is in use)
Remove Ash (if necessary)•

Ash removal is not required once it builds up. 1/2" to 1" of ash may be desirable because it slows theburn rate. Generally, remove ash once it has built up over 1". Follow the directions below to removeash.
1

Let the stove cool completely (at least two hours after the last coal has extinguished).

2

Place a cloth or cardboard protector over the hearth to catch ash and protect against
scratching.

3

Open the doors and scoop the ash into a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The
closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the
ground, away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal.

ASHES

Improperly disposed ashes lead to fires. Hot ashes placed in cardboard boxes, dumped in back yards,
or stored in garages, are recipes for disaster.
Wood-burning stoves are inherently dirty. During cleaning have a vacuum ready to catch spilled ash(make sure ash is entirely extinguished).
There are vacuum cleaners specifically made to remove ash (even if the ash is warm). Contact yourdealer for details.

Clean the Glass (if necessary)
This appliance has an airwash to keep the glass clean. However, burning un-seasoned wood or burning
on lower burn rates leads to dirtier glass (especially on the sides). Clean the glass by following thedirections below.

Allow the stove to fully cool. Apply glasscleaner or soapy water to the inside of
the glass. Wipe with newspaper or apaper towel.

AA
For Stubborn Creosote:Dip newspaper or a paper towel in coolashes and wipe it on the glass. The ash
acts as a light abrasive.

AAAA

Maintaining Your Appliance

Monthly Maintenance (while appliance is in use)
Make sure the appliance has fully cooled prior to conducting service.

Door and Glass Inspection
The door must form an air-tight seal to the firebox for the stove to work correctly. Inspect the door gasket
to make sure it forms an air-tight seal to the firebox.
The door can be lifted off the hinges if extensive repairs are conducted.

High-Temperatureanti-sieze may be
used on the door

Door Handle

To tighten the door cam, remove the door handle and discard one of the washers

the door frame and cam.

Creosote - Formation and Need for Removal
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled
moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slowburning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote
makes an extremely hot fire. The chimney and chimney connector should be inspected at least once
every two months during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote
has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
If you are not certain of creosote inspection, contact your dealer or local chimney sweep for a fullinspection. Excess creosote buildup may cause a chimney fire, that may result in property damage,injury, or death.

Maintaining Your Appliance27

Yearly Maintenance
Make sure the appliance has fully cooled prior to conducting service.

Touch Up Paint
Included with the owner's pack of this appliance is a can of Stove-Brite®
paint. To touch up nicks or dulled paint, apply the paint while the appliance iscool. Sand rusted or damaged areas before preparation (use 120 grit
sandpaper). Clean and dry the area to prepare the surface. Wait at least one
hour before starting the appliance. The touched up area will appear darker
than the surrounding paint until it cures from heat. Curing will give off somefumes while curing – open windows to ventilate.

Touch-Up
Paint

Cleaning the Air Duct and Blower (if applicable)
Use a vacuum to clean the air ducts (channels). This prevents dust from burning and creating odors.
The optional blower should be vacuumed every year to remove any buildup of dust, lint, etc.

BOTTOM OF
STOVEUse a vacuum cleaner to remove any
buildup on the screens of the blower.

Firebrick and Baffle Inspection
Use the illustration on page 29 as a reference for checking the following items. Make sure the applianceis cool before proceeding.
Baffle Firebricks - check the bricks along the ceiling of the firebox to make sure they are intact and haveno gaps between them. Slide the bricks to eliminate any gaps.
Baffle Supports - make sure the front and back baffle supports in are place and not degraded. Slightscaling or rusting of the metal is normal.
Secondary Air Tubes - Check the two air tubes and collars to make sure they are intact and not severely
deteriorated. Slight scaling or rusting of the metal is normal. Make sure the push pins hold the air tubes
in place.
Floor and Wall Firebricks - replace any severely damaged firebrick along the side or floor of the firebox.

Replacing the Glass
The glass must not contact the door or glass clips directly. The glass gasket and glass clip gaskets
insulate the glass to prevent cracking. Do not over-tighten the glass clips.
Place the door front side down. Insert the glass gasket into the groove along the inside perimeter of thedoor. Place the glass on top of the gasket and secure with the glass clips.

Replacing the Door Gasket
The door gasket inserts into the outer groove of the door and is secured with RTV high-temperature 600°
silicone. Before installing, remove any residual silicone. Lay the gasket in place (start at the lower left
corner) and cut off any excess gasket (do not stretch the gasket. The cement fully cures with heat fromthe stove. You may need to open and close the door repeatedly to get the gasket to seat fully.

Replacing the Door Handle
See the illustration above for a component list (see pg. 26 for details on adjusting the door).
