Bypass Handle Installation
The bypass handle is shipped inside the owner’s pack (along with a 1/8” hex wrench). With the set
screws loosened, line up the bypass handle with the bypass rod (Figure 4). Press back on the bypass
lever and slide the handle into place. NOTE: Several washers may be included on the bypass rod to
act as spacers – do not remove these washers. Once in place, secure the handle by tightening thetwo set screws. Make sure the set screws are properly located over the holes in the bypass rod. Whentightened, the set screws will submerge below the surface of the handle (Figure 4).

Figure 4

Rear Vent Configuration
The rear vent configuration is only for masonry fireplace installations (hearth stove). All steel chimney
applications require the top vent configuration.
The vent (chimney connector) may be directed to the rear of the appliance when installed into a masonry
fireplace. See Figure 5 for details.
Open the bypass - thisallows for access to thenut under the flue collar.

The flue collar is held in place with three bolts
and two nuts. Use two 7/16" open-end
wrenches to remove the bolts and nuts.
7/16" Wrench

Remove the flue collar and rotate it to the rear.
Use the existing bolts and nuts to attach thesides of the flue. For the center connection
use the bolt and acorn nut included in theowner's pack.

NOTE: Make sure the gasket
underneath the flue collar is properly
located and seals the flue collar when
it is installed.

Chimney Connector Requirements•

Chimney connector is required from the flue collar of the stove to the factory-built chimney (seeFigure 7) 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 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 180o 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” per foot and be a maximum 36” long.

•

The chimney connector must be installed with the crimped end pointing downwards (see Figure 7).
This prevents creosote from leaking to the exterior of the pipe.

•

The chimney connector must be fastened to the stove and each adjoining section (and chimney).

•

In cases where the chimney connector must be passed through a combustible wall or partition, thefollowing NFPA 211 method may be used if local building codes permit. Check with local authorities
before installation to insure all necessary requirements have been met. Figure 6 details a wall passthrough based on the NFPA 211 standard.

Drafting
PerformanceThis 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.

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.

Operating the Stove when it is Hot
Always use gloves when operating a hot stove. The door handles, loading lid, bypass handle, and othercomponents become very hot during normal use.

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.

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.

Bypass Operation
The bypass controls the flow of smoke inside the heater. When open, smoke goes directly up the flue,
creating more draft. When closed, the smoke goes through the combustor, utilizing the secondary
combustion system and making the heater more efficient.

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 by-pass are pulled out. If additional air is needed, open the doors 1/4"
during the first five minutes of start-up.

Open the bypass. Leave it
open until the stove is
HOT (up to 45 minutes).
Pull the air control
all the way out.

ALLOW THE STOVE TO FULLY HEAT PRIOR TO SHUTTING THE BYPASS
We occasionally get calls regarding a smokey stove during start-up. The primary cause is
shutting the bypass prior to the stove becoming hot. If you shut the bypass too early, thecombustor will not work (the combustor must be hot for it to work properly). This in turn will slow
combustion and will lead to a smokey fire.
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.

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.

Ashpan Removal
The ashpan must be properly inserted and fully closed during operation. Failure to fully close and seal
the ashpan may lead to an over-fired stove, negating the warranty and creating a safety hazard.
The ashpan may only be removed after the stove has fully cooled.

Lift up on theashlip and slide

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.

Burn Procedure Pictorial Overview
For this wood stove to burn correctly it must be brought up to temperature, This allows the combustor to operateproperly and transfer more heat into the home. By following the steps below you should be able to start andmaintain a long-lasting, low-burn fire . Use the pictures to help validate your burn process.

Crumple 6 to 8 full pieces of newspaper and placethem in the center of the firebox.

Stack 10 to 20 pieces of kindling on top of the newspaper
in a criss cross pattern to allow plenty of air flow.

With the bypass and air control open, light thenewspaper and partially close the doors (leave thedoors open 1/4" for the first 2 to 3 minutes of startup).

Allow the kindling to burn approximately 5 minutes.
Flatten the coal bed with the included poker and load 10
to 15 pieces of medium size wood.

The 10 to 15 pieces of medium size wood will fill thestove approximately 3/4 full. The reason for using
medium size pieces of wood is to acquire a coal bed assoon as possible.

Let the stove burn with the bypass and air control open forabout 45 minutes to establish a good coal bed (3” to 4”).

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
31 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
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

Direct all of the ash through the grill into the ashpan. Remove the ashpan (see page24). Place the ash into a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed containerof 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.

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

The glass will develop a very slight haze over time. This is normal and will not affect viewing of the fire.

4100818

Maintaining Your Appliance31

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-Temperature anti-sieze
may be used on the door
hinges to eliminate squeaks.

Use wood stove gasket
cement to re-adhereloose gasket.

Severely frayed or thread-baregasket should be replaced.

If the glass is damaged, replaceit - see “Replacement Parts” fordetails.

The door latch should pull the door against the face of the stove (but not so tight as to not allow fullhandle rotation). To adjust the door latch, adjust the position of the striker plate that attaches to the front
plate of the stove.

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 Appliance

Monthly Maintenance (while appliance is in use) – Continued
Clean the Combustion Brick
Use a suitable vacuum cleaner (AshVac™ or equivalent) to vacuum the combustion brick (see illustration
below). Hold the vacuum up against the holes in the combustion brick to pull ash from within the brickand combustor. This helps remove any built-up flyash inside the combustor and improve effeciency.

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.

Yearly Maintenance – Continued
Adjusting the Ashpan Latch
The ashpan latch may be adjusted by opening the ashpan, turning the latch to the closed position, thenpushing the ashpan in firmly. Repeat this process until the latch holds the ashpan secure, and air-tight.

Cleaning the Combustor Area
Ash may build up in the area to the left and right of the combustor. If the ash becomes too deep, it may
plug the combustor and lead to insufficient draft and poor efficiency. To clean this area, follow one of thetwo methods listed below.
•

Method A (for older units or units with easily-removed flues)
Remove the flue from the stove (place a garbage bag under
the flue to catch any falling soot or creosote). Use a suitablevacuum (AshVac™ or equivalent) to vacuum the area to theleft and right of the combustor (see the illustration on page35). Ash can pile up in this area so it is important to remove
it once per year.

•

Method B (for newer units only)
Newer units have clean-out plugs on thefirebox back. This allows the area to theleft and right of the combustor to becleaned without removing the flue. To
access these clean-out plugs, remove theside, back, and combustion brick (seepage 35). Remove the two plugs that
insert into the firebox back and use asuitable vacuum (AshVac™ or equivalent)
to vacuum the area to the left and right ofthe combustor. Ash can pile up in this area
so it is important to remove it once peryear.
