Gas Line Requirements!

The gas line must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, follow ANSI 223.1 and therequirements 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 topof 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).
T-Handle gas cocks are required in Massachusetts in compliance with code 248CMR.
The 1" diameter access hole is located 2-3/8" above the base of the fireplace. Cutan "X" in the gasket covering the inlet and insert the gas line through the gasket.
A shutoff valve may beplaced within the fireplace

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 appliancemust use it's own separate vent system.

Altitude Considerations
This heater has been tested at altitudes ranging from sea level to 8,000 feet (2,400 M). In this testing we have found thatthe 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 yourdealer or installer if you suspect an improperly adjusted air shutter.

combustion for all vent configurations. 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.

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 theorifice, in the U.S.A. refer to ANSI 223.1, Appendix P, in Canada B-149.1 or B-149.2!

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

7

Turn the flame adjust knob to its highest position - the flames should be approximately 12" tall. Check theflame on low position. The flames should burn off of each burner hole. If the heater does not work correctly,
contact your dealer for a remedy.

Install the faceplate.

!

ACID WASH WARNING: Before installing the faceplate, make sure any masonry that has been treated withacid wash has been properly neutralized (this is used primarily with brick faces). Acid wash (muriatic acid) isused to remove excess mortar. If not properly neutralized with an ammonia solution, the plated face may
develop a permanent tarnish when the acid evaporates over time. Contact your dealer if uncertain your facing
has been properly neutralized.

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 thepainted 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 heater when left idle. Once the heater is re-started, a“smoky” smell may be created (similar to a baseboard heater 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 will turn amore 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".

How this Fireplace Works!

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

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 of electricity). The
thermopile and thermocouple generate electricity when heated by the pilot flame. This electricity is used tooperate the gas valve. Without enough electricity, the gas valve will not turn on. That is why when starting thepilot the gas control knob has to be pressed in long enough for the thermocouple to heat up and generateenough electricity. The thermopile provides power for the ON/OFF switch, remote control, or thermostat (seethe illustration below). Because the thermopile generates the electricity needed to turn the fireplace on andoff, 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 to theheater, 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.

POWER HEAT DUCT (part # 98500769)
The optional heat duct allows the fireplace to transfer heat to separate locations in the home. One or twoducts may be used. Installation should take place prior to installing drywall.
Warning: This kit must be installed as specified in these instructions. Do not modify any component.
Warning: Use of any external blower other than the Travis Power Heat Duct Blower will void the warranty andlisting of this appliance and may create a fire hazard.
Note:

The power heat duct must be installed by a qualified service technician.

Note:

Some building codes
may require the use offirestop spacers
whenever the duct
passes from room to
room.

Note:

When routing ducts
through a cold area
(e.g. crawl space) we
recommend insulating
the duct with fiberglass
insulation. If paperbacked insulation isused, the paper can notcontact the duct.
