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.
¥

Check with local building officials for any permits required for installation of this stove andnotify your insurance company before proceeding with installation.

PLANNING THE INSTALLATIONHINT: We suggest that you have an authorized Travis Industries dealer install your stove. If
you install the stove yourself, your authorized dealer should review your plans for
installation.
This stove is approved for connection to either a factory-built chimney or existing masonry fireplace.
Depending upon your installation concerns, a wide range of installation options are yours to provide themost desirable installation. The sections that follow detail the requirements that must be met for a safe
installation. To further help installation, the six most common types of installations are explained in thesection "Stove Installation Considerations". Prior to installing your stove make a detailed plan withdimensions to double-check them against all of the requirements listed.

PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION¥¥

Check for damage to the exterior of the stove (dents should be reported, scratches can be fixed byapplying touch up paint).
Check the interior of the firebox (damaged firebrick must be replaced, displaced baffle parts
must be aligned - see "Firebrick and Baffle Inspection and Cleaning" on pages 26 - 28).
HINT: The stove can be lightened by removing the firebricks and baffle - see "Firebrick and
Baffle Inspection and Cleaning" on pages 26 - 28.

STOVE INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
The table below details the six most common types of installations along with considerations.
Alternative methods of installation are available if they comply with local building codes.
Installation TypeStandard Ceiling with a Factory Built Chimney(Page 12)Cathedral Ceiling with a Factory Built Chimney(Page 12)Exterior Factory Built Chimney(Page 13)

Considerations

Hearth Stove Positive Connection(Page 13)

¥ Utilizes existing masonry chimney¥ Provides good draft due to full reline¥ Easier to clean than direct or horizontal hearth stove

Hearth Stove Direct Connection(Page 14)

¥ Utilizes existing masonry or chimney¥ Requires construction of a "block-off plate" - Page 15¥ Draft reduced due to elbows & chimney cross section

Hearth Stove Horizontal Connection(Page 14)

¥ Utilizes existing masonry chimney¥ Draft is good because of vertical section above stove¥ Requires floor and roof penetration¥ Provides best draft¥ Cathedral style chimney support required¥ Provides best draft¥ Uses two elbows to route chimney outside¥ Exterior chimney is hidden from the room
¥ For every 1' of horizontal run, you should have 8' of verticalchimney¥ Elbows reduce draft¥ Optional exterior chase reduces cold air blockage

PAGE 15BLOCK-OFF PLATE INSTALLATION
Whenever this appliance is installed as a direct connection a block-off plate or other non-combustible
seal-off device (e.g. damper adapter) will need to be installed. This device is used to seal the chimney,
insuring no smoke enters the home and providing the chimney system with a seal to provide greater
draft. The directions below detail the steps for construction and installation of a block-off plate.
1. Determine a location for the block-off plate at the top of the firebox below the damper area
(make it high enough to allow installation of the connection pipe). The location should be level
and in an area where it can be mounted easily. Measure the width at the rear ("A") and front("B") of the firebox at the height where the block-off plate will be installed (see the illustration
below). Then measure the depth of the location where the block-off plate will be installed ("C").
2. Make a cardboard template of the measurements, but add a 2" flange to each side. This flange
will be used to mount the block-off plate to the inside of the firebox. Bend the flanges
downwards on the template and place it inside the fireplace. If the template fits correctly in its
planned location, go to the next step. If it does not, make a new template with the appropriate
corrections until it fits correctly.
3. With the template in place, mark the location that is centered in the fireplace where the flue will
exit. This location approximates the center of the flue when the insert is in place (a slight offset
may occur based upon insert and block-off plate placement). Remove the template and cut a 6
1/4" diameter hole centered on this mark.
4. Make the block-off plate of 24 gage or thicker steel to match the template. Drill two holes ineach flange for mounting the plate.
5. Mount the block-off plate using the appropriate screws. Masonry screws must be used for
mounting a block-off plate in a masonry fireplace.
6. Insulate the block-off plate using high-temperature fiberglass insulation (Kaowool orequivalent) and furnace cement (allow the cement to dry for at least 24 hours before burning).
7. After placing the appliance and installing the pipe through the block-off plate, use hightemperature fiberglass insulation and furnace cement to seal any cracks between the pipe andblock-off plate.

Bypass Control
The bypass control is located on the right side of the stove near the top and is operated by pushing or
pulling the control to the left or right. When the control is completely pulled out, the bypass allows thesmoke to go directly up the flue, creating more draft for starting the stove or for reloading. When it ispushed in, the smoke must go around the baffle which utilizes secondary combustion and makes thestove more efficient (see the illustration below).

LEARNING TO BURN YOUR APPLIANCE
Using a wood-burning appliance takes some getting used to. Once you become accustomed to operating
your appliance, you will be able to start a hot fire quickly, adjust the heat output precisely, and obtainovernight burns easier. Experienced wood burners may not need the information below, but may be able
to re-affirm their skills by reading the following. The better you understand your appliance, the more
rewarding you will find it.
How to Start a Hot Fire QuicklyYour wood-burning appliance acts much like an engine - before it will work at its best, it needs to reacha high temperature. The most common mistake in starting a fire is to use too little kindling, closing thebypass too soon, or turning the air control down too early. For good results, YOU MUST OBTAIN AN
INTENSE FIRE BEFORE CLOSING THE AIR CONTROL DOWN. The steps below detail one
method for starting a fire.
1. Pile several pieces of kindling on top of newspaper or a fire starter in the center of the firebox (itis better to have too much kindling than not enough). Place two medium sized pieces of wood oneither side of kindling laying front to back.
2. Make sure the air control is fully open (push all the way in) and the bypass opened (pull all theway out). Start the newspaper or fire starter. Note: you may want to crack the door during
starting to allow for more air.
3. Allow the kindling to start and burn. Then place another medium size piece of wood on top of
the burning kindling so that it straddles the two medium pieces and close the door. This
arrangement takes advantage of the air inlet located in the center under the door to feed the firewith adequate oxygen. You may notice the flames burning from the front to the back.
4. Let the fire burn at least 15 minutes before closing the bypass. Wait at least 30 minutes or until
the appliance is fully hot before closing the air control down.

How to Reload Your Appliance
When reloading your appliance, you can avoid smoke entering the room by following the steps below:
1. Push the air control all the way in so the fire starts to burn quickly, helping draft.
2. Pull the bypass out all the way and wait 30 seconds to establish a strong draft.
3. Open the door one inch and let air enter the appliance for a few seconds.
4. Carefully place the new wood on top of the existing fire. Close the door and shut the bypass bypushing it all the way in. Let the fire burn on high for at least 20 minutes before turning it downÐ this will reduce creosote build-up.

How to Adjust the Heat Output Precisely
One complaint from wood-burning appliance owners is controlling the heat output to obtain a consistentroom temperature. The reason for this is the inherent lag time between adjusting the air control and thechange in heat output. Simply put, if you turn a hot appliance down now, it will continue to put off highamounts of heat for an additional 15 minutes. To obtain consistent room temperature, think ahead.
When the room is starting to warm, and is almost up to the right temperature, turn the appliance down.
If you utilize an optional blower, turn it on and off to increase or decrease room temperature. If you findthe appliance must be turned down often, burn smaller, more intense fires instead. Although this means
more reloadings, it will reduce creosote build-up and give a more consistent heat output.

OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE (CONTINUED)

PAGE 19

How to Obtain an Overnight Burn
An overnight burn of 12 hours may be obtained with a small amount of coals left over in the morning if
the right steps are taken.
1. Establish a hot fire.
2. Fill the appliance with large pieces of wood, preferably hardwoods like oak or maple.
3. Let the wood burn on high for 20 to 30 minutes to allow the new pieces of wood to catch fire andburn off any moisture.
4. Pull the air control out to a low setting. HINT: You want an air control position that is thefarthest in, yet still allows coals to be left in the morning. Experiment using air control positions
that are farther and farther in until a suitable position is found.
5. In the morning, break down the coals and lay kindling and small pieces of wood on top of thecoals to re-establish the fire. NOTE: Even the smallest amount of coals can start a new fireeasily because of all the heat energy stored in the firebrick. If there are no coals left, yet theappliance is hot, you will find starting a new fire will be much easier and the appliance will startgiving off heat much quicker than if started cold.
Let the appliance burn at least 20 minutes onhigh after loading. This allows the appliance toreach the most efficient operating temperature.

Even the smallest amount ofcoals can re-start the appliance.

Good Burning Habits
Increased efficiency, reduced emissions, and less creosote are the rewards of good burning habits.. The
items below list good habits to establish with your new appliance.
¥ Get the appliance hot before turning it down
¥ 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
NOTE: A stove thermometer gives you a good indication of how hot your appliance is burning whenplaced directly on top of the appliance. Low burn is approximately 300 degrees F., medium
burn 500 to 600 degrees F., and high burn 700 to 800 degrees F.

OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE (CONTINUED)BLOWER OPERATIONThe optional blower assists the convection chamber in distributing heat to your home. The directions
below detail operation.
Automatic Control
The optional blower has a temperature-sensing device to automatically enable the blower once theappliance reaches a hot temperature. It also shuts the blower off once the appliance has cooled.
When to turn the blower on
The blower should be left on the off position for the first 30 minutes of starting the appliance.
Blower controls
The control knob is located on the control box attached to the cord leading from the blower. It is
operated in the manner illustrated below.
OFF
Turn the knob
all the way
counterclockwise toturn off.

HIGH
Turn the knob
clockwise fromthe off position
until it clicks.

LOW
Turn the knob
all the way

How to Use the Blower to Regulate Heat
Turn the blower on if the room needs heat and the appliance is up to temperature. When the room hasreached a high enough temperature, turn the blower off to stop the heat transfer. Used in conjunction
with the air control, a steady temperature can be achieved.

A WORD ABOUT WOOD
This appliance is designed to burn natural cord wood with high efficiencies and low emissions. With
properly dried wood, you will fully realize the heating and clean-burning potential of our hightechnology appliance. With poor wood, this high-technology appliance will become much less efficientand produce more emissions. Read on to find out more about the type of fuel you should use.

How to Dry and Store Wood
Aging is the only economical method for drying wood. Follow the steps below to dry and store wood:
1. Make sure the wood is split into quarters and is no longer than 18" long (Hint: if you cut trees insummer, leave the leaves on for a week, this will draw moisture from the wood to dry it quicker).
2. Stack the wood in loose piles that are covered and off the ground (this is to allow air to pass overeach piece of wood Ð promoting faster drying) If no shelter is built, place clear polyethylene
plastic over the wood (at an angle to allow moisture to run off). Let dry for at least one year.
3. Store the wood in a dry location, preferably outside to prevent insects and dirt from entering thehome. When needed, move small loads inside where the added heat will promote further drying.

What Type of Wood is Best
Choosing the kind of firewood to burn in your appliance depends on what is available to you.
Softwoods, such as pine or fir ignite and burn quicker, but require more frequent loadings and are lesssuited for overnight burns. For longer burns, with less frequent loadings, we recommend harder woods
such as oak or maple. The chart below details the BTU (heat) output of the various species. Note thehigher BTU output of the harder woods. The best arrangement is to have softwoods for starting and
immediate heating and hardwoods for overnight and sustained burns.

How to Buy Wood
Wood is sold by the cord (4' wide by 4' high by 8' long). Buy wood in the spring and summer, when
prices are lower and it will have plenty of time to dry. If buying in winter, have the wood moisturetested (test several pieces). You will receive up to 25% more heat from a cord of dry wood than fromwet or green wood. Rotate your wood so as to allow for the maximum drying time for all pieces.
Don't Burn Wood Scraps, Garbage, Paper, Wax Logs, Coal, Etc.
Wood scraps from construction are typically chemically treated, making them difficult to burn anddangerous due to emitting chemicals. The same holds true for garbage, solvents, driftwood containing
salt, cardboard, and colored paper. Coal and wax impregnated logs burn especially hot, creating a
possible safety hazard. In addition, all the aforementioned items may create excessive creosote.

MAINTAINING YOUR APPLIANCE

PAGE 23

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULEYour appliance requires periodic maintenance to work correctly. The steps involved with maintenanceare usually quick and easy. Look through this maintenance schedule and plan accordingly.
WARNING: Failure to properly maintain and inspect your appliance may reduce theperformance and life of the appliance, void your warranty, and create a fire hazard.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE (every week when appliance is in use):¥ Remove ash from the firebox (if necessary)¥ Clean the viewing glass (if necessary)¥ Clean the brass (if necessary)¥ Check for creosote buildup in the chimney and connector
BI-MONTHLY MAINTENANCE (every two months during the heating season):¥ Door and glass inspection¥ Lubricate the door hinge
YEARLY MAINTENANCE (before every heating season):¥ Touch-up paint¥ Blower cleaning¥ Firebrick and baffle inspection and cleaning
REMOVE ASH FROM THE FIREBOX (IF NECESSARY)At least once a week while the appliance is in use, check the level of ash on the floor of the firebox. If
1" or more of ash has accumulated, let the appliance cool and place the excess ash into an airtightcontainer away from any structure. After the ash is fully extinguished it may be disposed. A 1/2" to 1"
bed of ash is desirable, for it allows the appliance to burn at a slightly lower speed.
WARNING: Ashes removed from the appliance must be stored in an airtight container awayfrom any structure until fully extinguished before disposing.

CLEAN THE VIEWING 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. For especially dirty glass, use fine steel wool to remove build-up.
Apply glasscleaner to theinside of theglass when it
is cool

Then take a piece of newspaperor paper towel, dip it in coolashes, and wipe the glass

CLEAN THE BRASS (IF NECESSARY)
If your appliance has a brass door, it may be cleaned using a non-abrasive polish (such as FLITZ) when
the appliance is cool. The brass trim and ashlip is anodized, and should be cleaned with soap and water.
CHECK FOR CREOSOTE BUILDUP
Creosote buildup should be checked twice monthly during the heating season. Either look down thechimney from the top or remove a chimney connector section. Any more than 1/4" of buildup requires
chimney cleaning. Creosote develops quickest when burning at a low temperature or when burning unseasoned wood. When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other vapors which combine withmoisture to form creosote. Creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue and creosote
residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.

DOOR AND GLASS INSPECTION
The door must seal air-tight for the appliance to work correctly. Check the two items below and follow
the appropriate remedy to fix any problems.
¥ Check the door cam operation. When closed, the door cam should pull the door against the faceof the appliance, but not be so tight as to not allow the handle to point downwards. If theoperation is not correct, see the section "Adjusting the Door Cam" below.
¥ Remove the door by opening it and lifting it off the hinges. Place the door face down and checkthe door gasket (see the illustration below). If the door gasket requires replacement, see thesection "Replacing the Door Gasket" on the following page. Check the glass and glass gasket. If
the glass or gasket require replacement, see the section "Replacing the Glass or Glass Gasket" on
the following page.
The door gasket should
be unbroken, haveenough bulge to contact
the face of the unit, andbe firmly attached to thedoor frame.

Replacing the Door Gasket
Remove the door by opening it and lifting it off the hinges. Remove the old gasket by stripping it awaywith a screwdriver or other tool (see the illustration below). Apply a line of gasket cement (available
from your dealer) in the groove that follows the perimeter of the door. Insert the gasket into the groove.
Do not stretch the gasket as you place it into the groove. Cut off any excess gasket when done. Allow 2hours for the cement to dry. When re-installing the door, the gasket may need to be flattened byrepeatedly opening and closing the door.
Replacing the Glass or Glass Gasket
Remove the door by opening it and lifting it off the hinges. Remove the door handle from the door.
Then remove the glass retainer by unscrewing the ten screws that hold it in place with a 5/16" nutdriver(see the illustration below). Carefully remove the glass. Make sure the 3/4" black channel tape (new orold) runs around the perimeter of the glass. If using a new gasket, trim off any excess. Place the glass(new or old) in place so there is a small gap between the edge of the glass and the door frame. Make
sure the gasket is tucked underneath the glass so the glass does not touch the door frame. Place the glass
retainer in place and secure it with the screws removed earlier. Make sure the white gasket stays inplace and seals the window. Tighten the glass retainer until the gaskets start to flatten.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem:

Smoke Spills From
Door When
Loading

Kindling Does Not
Start

Possible Cause:¥¥

Door was opened before the aircontrol was pushed in
Door was opened before thebypass was pulled out
Door was opened too quick¥

Draft is not adequate¥

Cold air block in chimney¥

Kindling is wet or too large tolight
Bypass was closed¥¥
Appliance Does Not ¥Put Off Much
Heat¥¥
Appliance Does Not ¥Burn Overnight

Smoke Is Dirty
From Chimney

Bypass was open
Wood is fast burning¥

Wood is in small pieces¥

Check for coals - there may besome there
Draft is low

Appliance Does Not ¥Burn Fast On
High

Blower Does Not
Turn On

Wood is wet, unseasoned, orgreen
Appliance requires time towarm up¥

Wood is wet¥

Appliance is cool¥

Appliance is not hot enough yet¥

Blower is not plugged in or
circuit is off
When reloading or starting,smoke is higher than normal
Wood is wet¥¥

Remedy:Push the air control all the way in a few seconds before
opening the door.
Pull the bypass all the way out before opening the door
(see "Bypass Control" on page 17)
Door should be opened a crack to allow air to enter
before opening all the way (see "How to Reload your
Appliance" on page 18).
Your installer or dealer can give you more information
on draft. The most common causes of low draft are a
short, offset, or small chimney, an external down draft
due to wind, an extremely air-tight home with exhaust
fans, or a thermal down draft due to appliance placement.
A cold air block keeps the appliance from establishing a
draft. First ignite a piece of newspaper in the appliance
before starting the kindling.
Kindling must ignite quickly to be effective. Wet or
large kindling will make starting very difficult.
Pull the bypass all the way out before starting the stove(see "Bypass Control" on page 17).
Wet wood will give off much less heat than dry, seasoned
wood (see "A Word about Wood" on page 21).
The appliance will not give off heat until it has beenburning on high for at least one half hour (see "Learning
to Burn your Appliance" on page 17).
The bypass should be closed once the fire is establishedto increase the stove's efficiency (see "Bypass Control"on page 17).
Lighter, faster burning woods (e.g. alder, pine) are lesssuited for overnight burns (see "A Word about Wood" onpage 21).
Wood should be large to facilitate a slower burn (see"How to Achieve an Overnight Burn" on page 19).
Even a small amount of coals are enough to start a newfire if kindling is placed on top.
Your installer or dealer can give you more information
on draft. The most common causes of low draft are a
short, offset, or small chimney, an external down draft
due to wind, an extremely air-tight home with exhaust
fans, or a thermal down draft due to appliance placement.
Wet wood will give off much less heat than dry, seasoned
wood (see "A Word about Wood" on page 21).
New high-tech. appliances have a lag time between
adjusting the air control and the fire speeding up.
Appliance must be up to temperature for the blower toturn on if it is turned to "AUTO" (see "Blower
Operation" on page 20).
Check the outlet that the blower is plugged into with alamp to see if it has power.
The fire is evaporating the water from the wood, giving
off more visible smoke.
Wet wood will give off much more smoke than dry,seasoned wood (see "A Word about Wood" on page 21).

STOVE LEGS INSTALLATION (BRASS # 99200500, CAST BLACK # 99200800, BLACK STEEL # 99200100)
There are three different stove legs available for your wood stove: cast brass; cast black; and black steel.
The instructions for installing the legs are the same for each type of leg.
Raise the stove by inserting some pieces of lumber in the middle of the stove to a height of about 8".
Line up the hole in the top of the leg with the threaded bolt hole in each corner of the stove bottom.
Using a 9/16" open end or socket wrench, fasten the leg to the stove with the supplied attachment bolts
and washers, making sure the legs are flush with the corners of the stove. Unscrew the leveling bolts
enough so the stove will rest on the upper tips, not the metal portion of the legs. Lower the stove down.
Attach each leg to the stoveby inserting a bolt and washer
through the hole or slot in theleg and into the threaded holeon the stove. Use a 9/16"
socket wrench to tighten.

Leveling bolts areattached to the leg. Do
not have any weight on
the bolts while
adjusting them Ð therubber tips may tear.

To level the stove, lift the stove up and unscrew each leveling bolt the appropriate amount. The rubber
tips of the leveling bolts will tear if they are adjusted while weight is applied to them.

PEDESTAL INSTALLATION (PART # 99200101)
NOTE: If installing outside air with the pedestal, first follow the directions titled "Using
Outside Air with the Pedestal" on the following page.
Place the pedestal in place and lift the stove on top of it. Line up the threaded bolt holes in the bottom of
the stove with the two holes in the tabs that stick out of the side of the pedestal (see the illustration
below). Using a 9/16" socket wrench, fasten the pedestal to the stove with the supplied bolts andwashers. If installing in a mobile home, the pedestal will need to be attached to the floor. Insert the two
included lag bolts through the pedestal base and screw them into the floor with a 1/2" socket wrench.

OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT (CONTINUED)

Using Outside Air with the Pedestal
The pedestal kit includes all of the items necessary to route outside air to the stove from the floor.
Before installing, check the section "Outside Air Requirements" on page 9 for installation concerns. The
directions below outline the steps for installing outside air with a pedestal.
1. Before installing the stove or pedestal, determine the location of the outside air hole thatpenetrates through the floor protection and floor. The illustration on the previous page details thesize of pedestal and its location in relation to the faceplate of the stove. The hole may be cut
anywhere underneath the pedestal, as long as it is not within 2" of the outside perimeter of thepedestal, is at least 16 square inches in area, and does not interfere with structural members of
the home. Cut the hole when the correct location is determined. Place the screen over the holeand secure it in place with the included staples. It can be attached above or below the floor.
2. Place the pedestal in place. Tuck the insulation included with the pedestal underneath the sideedges of pedestal to seal off any air from entering underneath the pedestal.
3. Attach the cover plate to the front of the stove. Remove the two screws that hold the piece thatfits over the air control rod in place. Slide the air control plate in place underneath the air control
rod. Replace the piece removed from the cover plate. The cover plate should form an air-tightseal against the air control portion of the stove (see the illustration below).
Remove the two screws on the coverplate to remove the piece that fits over
the air control rod. Then replace thepiece when the cover plate is in place.

Air Control Rod

The cover plate has a clip whichattaches it underneath the air control.

OUTSIDE AIR BOOT INSTALLATION (PART # 99200134)
The outside air boot includes all of the items necessary to route outside air to the stove for combustion
when a stove is installed on legs. Before installing, check the section "Outside Air Requirements" onpage 9 for installation concerns. The directions below outline the steps for installing outside air boot.
1. Before installing the stove, determine the location of the outside air hole that penetrates throughthe floor protection and floor. The illustrations below detail the size of the outside air boot andits location in relation to the faceplate of the stove. The hole may be cut anywhere underneaththe outside air boot, as long as it is not within 1" of the outside perimeter of the outside air boot,is at least 16 square inches in area, and does not interfere with structural members of the home.
Cut the hole when the correct location is determined.
2. Install the legs (see instructions above). Pry out the outside air knock-out. It is 7" wide, 2" deep,
and 6 11/16" back from the front of the stove. See the illustration below.
3. Align the air boot over the knock-out and mark the locations where the two holes located on the
top side of the air boot line up on the bottom of the stove. Use the included 9/64" drill bit to drill
holes into the bottom of the stove where the marks were placed (you may need to tilt the stove orplace it on its side). Drill only enough to penetrate the first layer of metal.

4. Attach the fiberglass tape to all four top edges of the air boot. There is a seam in the bottom
segment of the air boot. Position the air boot over the knock-out so this seam is facing the rear.
Attach the air boot to the bottom of the stove with two of the included sheet metal screws.
5. Right the stove and position it in its final position. Mark the location where the air boot contacts
the floor. Attach fiberglass tape to the bottom of the air boot so it covers all four edges of the airboot, and telescope the air boot down until it makes contact with the floor. Press against the airboot so it seals against the floor.
6. The two holes on the sides of the air boot are used to hold for a screw that keeps the twotelescoping segments of the air boot from moving. Use the included 9/64" drill bit to drill a holethrough the holes and into the top segment of the air boot. Then screw the two remaining sheet
metal screws into these holes. Use touch-up paint to remove scratches from the outside air boot.
7. The outside air boot includes several cover plates. Use the cover plate that is 6 1/2" wide. The
rest may be discarded. Remove the two screws that hold the piece that fits over the air control
rod in place (see the illustration on the previous page under #3). Slide the air control plate inplace underneath the air control rod. Replace the piece removed from the cover plate. The coverplate should form an air-tight seal against the air control portion of the stove.

REAR BLOWER INSTALLATION (PART # 99000138)
The rear blower increases the natural convection of the stove by pushing air through the convection
chamber of the stove and causing the heated air to exit through the vents along the top of the stove.
Operating instructions are on page 20. The directions below detail its installation.
1. Feed the two wires from the thermodisk assembly through the space between the stove and rearheat shield. Insert the thermodisk assembly into this space until the top portion hooks the topedge of the rear heat shield (see the illustration below). The thermodisk should fit tight in thechannel. If it does not, remove it and bend the metal support down to insure a snug fit.
Slide thethermodisk
assembly into
the spacebetween thestove and rearheat shield.

2. Slide the wire clip over the rear heat shield. Run the two wires from the thermodisk assembly
through the wire clip and pull the slack wire out of the stove. The wires coming from thethermodisk assembly must not have any slack Ð these wires may cause a short if the wires comein contact with the firebox. Remove enough slack to eliminate the wires rubbing on the firebox,
but do not tighten so as to dislodge the thermodisk assembly.
3. Route the two yellow wires from the blower box through the hole in the back of the blower box(the wires must not exit out of the top). Connect these wires to the two wires from thethermodisk assembly (orientation does not matter).
4. Place the blower box near the bottom rear of the stove and push any slack wire into the blower
box so that when the blower box is attached the excess wire will not contact the stove. Attach
the blower box to the stove with the three screws included with the blower kit (use a 3/8"
nutdriver). You may wish to pre-thread the holes in the back of the stove prior to putting theblower box in place.
