Altitude Considerations•

This heater has been tested at altitudes ranging from sea level to 6,000 feet. In this testing we have foundthat the 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 your dealer or installer if you suspect an improperly adjusted air shutter.

Vent Installation•

Slide the vent sections together and turn 1/4 turn until the sections lockin place.

•

Screws are not required to secure the vent. However, three screws may
be used to secure vent sections together if desired.

•High temperature sealant is recommended at the appliance starter
section connection (use high-temperature silicone or Mill-Pac®).

•If disassembly is required, at time of re-assembly check to see if the ventcreates a tight fit. If it does not, apply high temperature sealant to thejoints of the affected sections.

•

Horizontal sections require a 1/4" rise every 12" of travel•

Horizontal sections require non-combustible support every three feet (e.g.: plumbing tape)© Travis Industries

Approved Vent Configurations
Exhaust Restrictor Adjustment
An exhaust restrictor is built into exhaust vent at the rear of the fireplace. It is used to adjust the flow rate of
exhaust gases. Depending upon vent configuration, you may be required to adjust the restrictor. The
charts for acceptable vent configurations detail the correct vent restrictor position. The restrictor isaccessed from inside the firebox (remove the glass to gain access). To adjust the restrictor, remove thenut and bolt holding the restrictor in position, rotate the restrictor to the correct position, then replace thenut and bolt to secure (see Figure 11).

Steps for Finalizing the Installation
WARNING: Prior to removing the glass, shut off gas to theappliance (or remove the batteries from the battery box and shutoff electricity to the fireplace). This prevents any chance ofaccidental burner ignition when accessing the firebox.

1. Remove the glass (see page 38).
NOTE: If using propane (LP) convert the appliance prior to installing the logs (see page 43
for details)..
2. We recommend you purge the gas line at this time (with the glass removed). This allows gas tobe detected once it enters the firebox, ensuring gas does not build up.
3. Install the firebacks (see instructions included with firebacks) and logs (see page 39).
4. Turn on the gas to the fireplace. Turn on gas to the heater. Leak test all gas joints.
5. Replace the glass. Start the pilot.
6. Start the main burner. Leak test all gas joints again (the gas control valve and connections arelocated on the exterior of the fireplace on the left side.

7. Check the air shutter following the directions below.

Air Shutter Adjustment
Let the heater burn for fifteen minutes (make sure the logs and glass are in place). The flames should
be yellow with no sooting. Adjust the air shutter, if necessary, to achieve the correct looking flame.

Correct

Not Enough Air

Flames should be blue at thebase, yellow-orange on the top.

If the flames are too tall or sooty on theends, open the air shutter.

Too Much Air
If the flames are all blue andshort, close the air shutter.

How to Adjust the Air Shutter
The three air shutters (two sides and center) are located to the back of the burner (under the exhaust)
and are accessed by removing the glass frame (and the rear log, if needed – see the picture below).
The air shutter levers may be adjusted – a screwdriver of other tool may be used to “tap” the lever tothe desired position. Slide the shutter towards the back (exhaust) to close, to the front (towards the logs)
to open. After adjusting the air shutter replace the glass and verify flame quality.

8. Adjust the flame height to its highest position - the flames should not contact the top of thefirebox. Check the flame on lowest position. The flames should burn off each burner hole. If
the heater does not work correctly, contact your Travis dealer for a remedy.
9. Give this manual to the home owner for future reference and fully explain operation of thisheater. For comprehensive operating and maintenance instructions, refer to the Owner's
Manual.

Log Set Installation
Ember Placement
Place the embers along the firebox floor and burner to help conceal the burner. Make sure none of
the embers are directly over the burner holes. See the photo below.

Note how the embers do notcover any burner holes. Placethe embers around the burner
to create a realistic effect.

Rock Wool Placement
The included rock wool is placed on top of the burner to enhance the glow from the burner. The
rock wool works best when it is applied in a very thin, porous layer. The best method for
applying the rock wool is to brush it on to the burner. Compress a clump of rockwool between yourthumb and forefinger. Use a stiff brush to apply a thin layer of rockwool fibers onto the burner. Do
not use the entire bag of rockwool. Use only a small amount and save the remainder. Over-use of
rockwool will diminish the glow and may cause sooting or other adverse conditions.

14 The fireplace receiver module will need to be configured for LP. This is done by pressing andholding the “Learn” switch FOR 20 SECONDS (see “Battery Pack / Learn Switch Installation” onpage 15). The receiver will give off a short beep (less than 1 second) when configured for LP.
The receiver will give off a long beep (3 seconds) when configured for NG. By pressing theswitch for 20 seconds, you toggle between the two settings.
15 Make the gas line connection, bleed the gas line (if applicable), start the heater and thoroughly
leak-test all gas connections and the gas control valve (see Gas Line Requirements on page 18
for details). Check the pilot and adjust if necessary.
