•

Check the interior of the firebox (replace cracked firebrick and make sure baffle is in place).
The stove can be lightened by removing the firebricks and baffle. (pg 26) - replace before operation.

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 TypeConsiderations

Standard Ceiling with a Factory Built Chimney(Page 14)

• Requires ceiling and roof penetration

Cathedral Ceiling with a Factory Built Chimney(Page 14)

• Cathedral style chimney support required

Exterior Factory Built Chimney(Page 15)

• Uses two elbows to route chimney outside• Provides best draft• Provides best draft• Exterior chimney is hidden from the room
• Elbows reduce draft• Optional exterior chase reduces cold air blockage

Hearth Stove Positive Connection(Page 15)

• Utilizes existing masonry or zero clearance (metal) chimney• Provides good draft due to full reline• Easier to clean than direct or horizontal hearth stove

Hearth Stove Direct Connection(Page 16)

• Utilizes existing masonry or zero clearance (metal) chimney• Requires construction of a "block-off plate"• Draft reduced due to elbows & chimney cross section

Hearth Stove Horizontal Connection(Page 16)

• Utilizes existing masonry chimney (not approved for zeroclearance (metal) fireplaces)• Draft is good because of vertical section above stove

Drafting
Performance••This 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.

Standard residential installations may use single-wall connector (Mobile-Homes may n o t)Standard residential installations with reduced clearance connector may use the clearance
determined by the manufacturer of the connector for the connector to wall clearance or the clearance
listed in this manual. Offsets must be used to maintain the stove to wall clearance. Mobile homes

2 to 4 hours

This heater uses a heat-activated paint thatwill emit some fumes while starting the first
fire. Open doors and windows to the room tovent these fumes. This typically lasts two tofour hours. You may also notice oil burning offof the interior of the heater. This rust-stopping
agent will soon dissipate.

Over-Firing the Stove

This stove was designed to operate at a high temperature. But due to differences in ventconfiguration, fuel, and draft, this appliance can be operated at an excessive temperature. If thestove 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.

The door becomes hot during use. Use a glove to open the door if the handle is hot.
To prevent smoke from entering the room, open the door a small amount and let air enter the firebox.
This stabilizes the air flow before opening the door completely.

Starting a Fire
Since the dawn of time man has debated the best way to start a fire. Some use the boy-scout "teepee", 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 is pushed in. If additional air is needed, open the doors 1/4" during the first
five minutes of start-up.

N e v e r 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 thegrate 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.

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:
dry wood 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

Troubleshooting
ProblemPossible Cause

Smoke Enters RoomDuring Start-Up•

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

•

Close the doors - if the flame is not getting enough air,first make sure the air control is open (all the way in).
If additional air is needed, a small crack in the door is
all that is needed.

•

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

•

Not enough starter paper - use additional newspaper ifnecessary.

•

Not enough air - first make sure the air control is open(all the way in). If additional air is needed, a small
crack in the door is all that is needed.

•

Let the air stabilize before fully opening the door. Push
the air control in before 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.

•

Wood is Wet - see the section "Selecting Wood" onpage 21 for details on wood.

•

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.

•

Air Control is Not Wide Open - Make sure the aircontrol is all the way in. Slide the control back andforth to insure the control is not stuck.

•

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.

•

This appliance burns for up to 8 hours. Depending
upon wood, draft, and other factors, the burn time may
be shorter. Make sure the doors are sealing and notallowing air into the firebox - See the section "Door andGlass Inspection" on page 24 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 Appliance23

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 n o t 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 orburning on lower burn rates leads to dirtier glass (especially on the sides). Clean the glass byfollowing the directions 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
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.

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

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.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The door can be un-bolted from the the hinges if extensive repairs are conducted.
High-Temperatureanti-sieze may be
used on the door
hinges to eliminate
squeaks.

Use wood stove gasket
cement to re-adhereloose gasket.

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

Severely frayed or thread-baregasket should be replaced.

The door latch should pull the door against the face of the stove (but not so tight as to not allow fullhandle rotation). If the latch requires adjustment, follow the directions below.

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.

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 theappliance is cool. 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 willappear darker than the surrounding paint until it cures from heat. Curing
will give off some fumes while curing – open windows to ventilate.

Firebrick and Baffle Inspection
Use the illustration on page 27 as a reference for checking the following items. Make sure theappliance is cool before proceeding.
Baffle Firebricks - check the bricks along the ceiling of the firebox to make sure they are intact andhave no 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 notseverely deteriorated. Slight scaling or rusting of the metal is normal. Make sure the push pins holdthe air tubes in place.
Floor and Wall Firebricks - replace any severely damaged firebrick along the side or floor of thefirebox.

Replacing the Glass
The glass must not contact the door frame or glass clips directly. The glass gasket and glass clip
gaskets must contact the glass to prevent cracking. Do not over-tighten the glass clips.

The glass gasket lays against the door shell along the perimeter of the glass. Remove the screws
and glass clips to access the glass. Each glass clip has a small piece of gasket attached where it
contacts the glass. When installing, do not over-tighten the screws.
Replacing the Door Gasket
The door gasket inserts into the outer groove of the door frame. Stove gasket cement holds it inplace. Before installing, remove any residual cement. 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 withheat from the stove. You may need to open and close the door repeatedly to get the gasket toseat fully.
Replacing the Door Handle
The door handle consists of several components. See the illustration above for a component list.
For details on adjusting the door see page26.
