Installation 7

Travis Industries 4050225 100-01154

Before You Begin

READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE YOU INSTALL AND USE THIS HEATER.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE,

BODILY INJURY, OR EVEN DEATH.

Check with local building officials for any permits required for installation of this pellet heater and notify

your insurance company before proceeding with installation.

Packing List

• Thermostat & Wire • Scraper Rod Tool • Brush • Fuses (2)

Installation Options:

•Residential or Mobile Home (see the section "Mobile Home Requirements")

•Alcove Compatible (see the section "Alcove Installation")

•Horizontal or Vertical Vent

•Outside Air Compatible

•Vent with L-Vent, L-Vent Fireplace Liner, or Type A Chimney (with adapter)

Planning The Installation

HINT: Have an authorized Travis Industries dealer install this heater. If you install the heater

yourself, have your dealer review your installation plans.

HINT: Sketch out a detailed plan of the installation including dimensions. Then verify the

dimensions with the requirements listed in this manual.

HINT: When determining the location of the stove, locate the wall studs (for horizontal

penetrations) and ceiling trusses (for vertical penetrations). You may wish to adjust the

stove position slightly to ensure the vent does not intersect with a framing member.

HINT: Place the heater outside and load 10 pounds of pellets inside the hopper. Plug the

heater in and let it run on HIGH until the pellets run out. This will cure the paint and burn

off any oil on the steel, eliminating any smell inside the home.

Stove Placement

•Stove must be placed so that no combustibles are within, or can swing within (e.g. drapes,

doors), 36" of the front of the heater.

?If the stove is placed in a location where the ceiling height is less than 7', it must follow the

requirements in the section "Alcove Installation Requirements".

HINT: REDUCING CLEARANCES - Clearances may be reduced by methods specified in NFPA

211, listed wall shields, pipe shields, or other means approved by local building or fire

officials.

•Heater and floor protection must be installed on a level, secure floor.

Floor Protection Requirements

•The heater must be installed on a non-combustible floor protector extending the full width

and depth of the heater and extending 6" in front (Minimum 28" wide by 32-1/2" deep)

(minimum .018" thick - 26 gauge) .

•Must extend under and 2" to each side and rear of a "Tee" (if used).

12 Installation

Travis Industries 4050225 100-01154

Alcove Installation Requirements

When the pellet stove is placed in a location where the ceiling height is less than 7' tall, it is considered

an alcove installation. Because of the reduced height, the requirements listed below must be met.

•Minimum height is 60"

•Minimum width is 46"

•Maximum depth is 48"

•Minimum clearance of 9" on each side and 3" on back

Baffle Installation

Install the baffles included with the stove (see page 29 for details).

Door Seal Verification

The door is aligned prior to leaving the factory. However, shipping and installation may cause the door to

become mis-aligned. Verify the door is correctly aligned and seals properly (see the section "Door Seal"

under Yearly Maintenance).

Restrictor Adjustment

The exhaust restrictor “fine tunes” your appliance, ensuring it pulls the correct amount of air through

the firebox. Altitude, vent configuration, and other factors make restrictor adjustment necessary for

every installation.

NOTE : the optimal restrictor position will vary over time as soot builds up inside the exhaust system –

make sure the homeowner knows how to visually inspect the flame and adjust the restrictor.

Not Enough Air:

If clinkers develop or the flame appears

lazy and slow to blow the ash out of the

firepot, pull the restrictor outward until

the flame becomes active and the

firepot holes remain clean. NOTE: If the

restrictor is fully out (“5”), yet the firepot

does not remain clean, the stove needs

to be cleaned and checked for air leaks

(see “Maintenance” section of this

manual).

Too Much Air:

If the flames are too active (small,

flickering flames) or if burning pellets are

expelled from the firepot, move the

restrictor rod inwards until the flame

slows down and no burning pellets are

expelled. Another symptom of too

much air is the heater “blowing the fire

out” – a condition in which the pellets

burn faster than they are fed (this is most

common on low).

Safety Notice

Read this entire manual (especially the "Safety Precautions" on pages 4 and 5)

before using this stove. Failure to follow the instructions may result in property

damage, bodily injury, or even death.

!Do not unplug the stove to turn it off. This stove relies upon electricity to push the flue

gases out the pellet vent – unplugging it may lead to smoke entering your room.

!Failure to maintain your heater will lead to a restricted combustion air system, leading to

poor performance and in some cases, smoke spillage into the room. See the

"Maintenance" section for details.

Starting the Heater for the First Time

Start the Heater - Let it Burn for 1 Hour - THEN OPEN THE DOOR

The stove paint is cured through heat. To prevent it from bonding to the door gasket, you must burn

the heater for approximately 1 hour, then open and close the door to break any bonding.

Curing the Paint

This stove 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. You may also

notice oil burning off of the interior of the stove. This

rust-stopping agent will soon dissipate.

Priming the Auger

2 to 4 hours

Because of its electronic control panel, this stove does not require priming. If you run out of pellets

you may notice it will take approximately 5 minutes longer for the stove to start.

20 Operation

Travis Industries 4050225 100-01154

Loading Pellets

Lift the hopper lid to its vertical position. Pour pellets into the hopper until full. NOTE: The hopper

holds approximately 115 pounds of pellets.

Make sure pellets

are not left on this

heat shield.

To Close the Hopper Lid:

lift the lid, pull this tab forward,

then lower the lid down.

To Open the Hopper Lid:

lift the hopper lid from this handle.

These notches allow

you to open the hopper

lid to the level you wish.

Warning:

The front edge of the

hopper lid becomes very

hot, do not touch the area

below the handle.

The Two Modes of Operation:

Manual

Manual mode requires the user to turn

the heater on and off manually.

Auto (requires a thermostat)

Auto mode allows you to use a

thermostat to control room

temperature. The stove automatically

turns on when the temperature drops

below the thermostat setting. Once the

stove reaches operating temperature,

the stove then runs at the heat output

setting selected.

Switching Modes While in

Operation

Whenever the stove is switched from

one mode to another while in

operation, the stove will enter the "start-

up" sequence for a minimum of 20

minutes.

22 Operation

Travis Industries 4050225 100-01154

Auto Mode

Auto mode allows you to use a thermostat to control room temperature. The stove automatically turns

on when the temperature drops below the thermostat setting. Once the stove reaches operating

temperature, the stove then runs at the heat output setting selected.

To Adjust Room Temperature (or Start the Stove)

Move the thermostat to the heat setting desired. If the room is

cooler than the setting, the stove will go through the start-up

sequence for approximately 10 minutes. During this period the

lowest “HEAT OUTPUT” light will flash. Once up to temperature,

the stove will then run at the heat output setting selected on the

control panel. If the room is too hot, move the thermostat to a

lesser setting.

To Adjust the Heat

Press the "Heat” buttons to adjust the heat

output.

HINT:

If you find that the stove turns on and off

repeatedly, you may wish to turn the heat

output to a lesser setting. The lower setting

will provide a more consistent heat output over

time, eliminating the need for the thermostat to

repeatedly turn the stove off.

NOTE:

If the thermostat calls for heat while the stove is

still cooling down, the stove will go through the

start-up sequence (for a minimum of 20

minutes).

Restrictor Adjustment

The exhaust restrictor “fine tunes” your appliance, adjusting the amount of air flowing to the flame.

NOTE : the optimal restrictor position will vary over time as soot builds up inside the exhaust system.

Not Enough Air:

If clinkers develop or the flame

appears lazy and slow to blow the

ash out of the firepot, pull the

restrictor outward until the flame

becomes active and the firepot

holes remain clean. NOTE: If the

restrictor is fully out (“5”), yet the

firepot does not remain clean,

the stove needs to be cleaned

and checked for air leaks (see

“Maintenance” section of this

manual).

Too Much Air:

If the flames are too active (small,

flickering flames) or if burning

pellets are expelled from the

firepot, move the restrictor rod

inwards until the flame slows

down and no burning pellets are

expelled. Another symptom of

too much air is the heater

“blowing the fire out” – a

condition in which the pellets

burn faster than they are fed (this

is most common on low).

Start-Up Sequence

This stove utilizes a start-up sequence whenever the mode switch is changed or the heater is started

when cold. This is to ensure proper operation through all possible settings and operational states (hot

or cold, pellets burning or not burning, etc.). This sequence over-rides all user settings (except the

"OFF" position) to set the auger feed rate to medium, the exhaust blower to high, and the igniter on.

During this period the lowest “HEAT OUTPUT” light will flash.

"MANUAL AUGER" Button

This button turns the auger on. It is used to “prime” the auger after the hopper has run out of pellets.

"AUGER ON" Light

This light comes on when the auger is turning. This allows the operator to determine when the auger

is turning.

"FAULT" Light

This light comes on when an error occurs:

•The stove runs out of pellets

•During initial start-up (for a split

second) or for improper electrical

frequency

•A start-up sequence that does not

result in the heater coming up to

temperature

To reset the fault light, turn the mode switch to

off and re-start the stove.

Power Outages

If a sustained power outage occurs while in "Manual", the stove will go to a "cool down" mode to

vacate smoke once power returns. If the power outage was short, the heater will go to the start-up

sequence. If in "Auto", the stove will re-start (if the room is cool).

!Because this stove relies upon a blower to evacuate the smoke, some smoke may enter

the home during a power outage. To keep to a minimum, leave the door closed.

Maintenance 25

Travis Industries 4050225 100-01154

Daily Maintenance (whenever using the stove)

Inspect the Burn

When burning on high, the

flames should be bright orange

with embers jumping from the

firepot.

NOTE : the optimal restrictor

position will vary over time as soot

builds up inside the exhaust

system. See "Restrictor

Adjustment" for details.

Make Sure Pellets are

Not Piling Up

If the pellets pile up over the burn

pot, turn the mode switch to

"OFF".

The most likely causes are:

•Restrictor needs adjustment

(see “Restrictor Adjustment”

in the installation section of

this manual)

•The door, glass, or ashpan is

NOTE:

When replacing the ash pan make

sure it is pushed all the way in.

The ash pan has a built in

handle to ease

transportation of the ashes.

Disposal of 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, well

away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of

by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed

container until all cinders have been thoroughly cooled.

Clean the Glass

Open the door and clean the glass with a non-abrasive glass cleaner and rag. This will increase the

amount of light and heat given off by the heater.

Travis Industries 4050225 100-01154

Yearly Maintenance (or every two tons)

WARNING: Disconnect the power cord prior to conducting service.

The following section details extensive maintenance procedures. We strongly suggest these items

be carried out by a trained service technician, possibly by a service agreement set up with your dealer.

Soot and Flyash: Formation and Need for Removal – The products of combustion will

contain small particles of flyash. The flyash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the

flow of the flue gases. Incomplete combustion, such as occurs during startup, shutdown, or incorrect

operation of the room heater will lead to some soot formation which will collect in the exhaust venting

system. The exhaust venting system should be inspected at least once every year to determine if

cleaning is necessary.

Clean the Vertical Exhaust Duct (the stove must be cool and unplugged)

Clean the refractory and

the entire area behind it

(both sides).

Remove these doors to

remove fallen flyash and

soot (see “Bi-Weekly

Remove both

refractory clips.

On vertically vented systems, the dirtiest

portion is often the point where the vent turns

upwards (i.e. the "Tee"). Fortunately, the "Tee"

has a built-in clean out cover. Remove the

cover and vacuum out. While open, use a

flashlight to look up the pellet vent to check for

build-up.

Make sure the cap is free of debris

(especially if it has a screen that could

become blocked).

Flyash will deposit along

sections that are horizontal.

Warning: Whenever any portion of the pellet vent is disconnected, the joints must be sealed with

RTV 500° F. silicone sealant.

Yearly Maintenance (or every two tons) - Continued

Door Seal

!Air leaks into the firebox will decrease the

stove's performance greatly, leading to

excessive sooting, inefficient burning,

and perhaps a malfunction.

•The door gasket must contact the entire

perimeter of the door and create an air-

tight seal. To verify this, open the door,

hold a dollar bill against the body of the

heater, close the door, and secure the

latch. The dollar bill should be held firmly

in place (check the entire perimeter of the

door. If it is loose or falls out, the door

must be adjusted (see the following

page).

Door Alignment

Because the door is three-sided, it is

crucial the door is aligned correctly.

We recommend that you open the

hopper lid and look down upon the

door and body of the heater. Use the

illustration to the right to determine

the correct door alignment.

Correctly Aligned Door

When properly adjusted, the door should be evenly

spaced from the front of the stove (and shut tight,

compressing the gasket).
