Drafting
This appliance relies upon natural draft to operate. External forces, such as wind,
Performance 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.

Vent Termination Requirements
¥
¥

Vent termination must have an approved cap (to prevent water from entering)
Vent termination must not be located where it will become plugged by snow or other material

Vent termination must be
1' above the roof and
meet the requirements
outlined in ANSI
Z223.1, section 7.6.2.

12Ó Min.

Note: ANSI 223.1, section 7.6.2 outlines additional
requirements for gas vent terminations. If your
installation involves a roof with a slope greater
than 6/12 or if a wall or other vertical obstruction is
within 8' of the vent termination, the vent
termination will need to be taller. Refer to ANSI
223.1 for full details.

When installed, the vent must provide suitable draft for the appliance. Other factors, such as exhaust
fans, may create negative pressure inside the home and cause down drafts. Additional vent height
may be required in these circumstances.

If the air shutter is in its fully open position, yet the flames remain sooty, shut off gas to the heater
and contact your dealer for a remedy.
Ensure the heater establishes a draft. If the heater unexpectedly shuts off 5 to 25 minutes after
starting, the heater may not be drafting. The cause: negative pressure. Typically, re-starting the
heater five minutes after the shutoff will overcome the negative pressure and establish a draft.
However, if this does not work, you may wish to open a door or window near the heater. This will
allow in enough air in to overcome any negative pressure. Once drafting is initiated, the heater will
work properly without having to re-start the heater or allow in outside air. This is due to the heat
generated by the pilot.
Possible Causes of Negative Pressure:
¥ Exhaust fans (Jenn-Aire type fans in kitchens, bathroom fans)
¥ Vent termination located near a down draft or against prevailing winds
¥ Internal home pressure characteristics (multiple fireplaces, etc...)
Turn the flame adjust knob to its highest position - the flames should be approximately 10" tall.
Check the flame on low position. The flames should burn off of each burner hole. If the heater does
not work correctly, contact your dealer for a remedy.

Failure to inspect and maintain the heater may lead to improper combustion and a potentially
dangerous situation. We recommend the following procedures be done by a qualified technician.
Check the pilot flame. It should engulf approximately 3/8" of the top of the thermocouple (see
illustration below). If it does not, contact your dealer for service.
Shut off gas to the heater by turning the gas control knob to "OFF" (see step A under "Starting the
Pilot" on page 17). Let the heater cool for 15 minutes. Remove the door (see step 1 on page 14).
Remove the logs, twigs and coals (see page 14 - NOTE: the logs are fragile). If any log is cracked
or deteriorated, replace it when re-installing. Check the logs for sooting. A small amount of soot
along the bottom of the logs is normal. If excessive sooting is found, the heater will require
adjustment. Contact your dealer.
Clean the burner pan (especially in the burner holes and slots) and inspect the following:
¥ Check for burner pan holes that are cracked, severely warped, or corroded.
¥ Make sure the burner pan assembly fits flat against the floor of the firebox.
¥ Check the firebox and area around the pilot to make sure there is no warping or damage.
If any problem is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service.
Before Disassembly: Check the pilot flame. It should
impinge the top 3/8Ó of the thermopile and engulf the
thermocouple.

Check the walls and
ceiling of the firebox
for deterioration.

How this Heater Works
!

This heater was designed with safety as the primary concern. Many of the components inside this
heater are for safety purposes. Therefore, only certified gas service technicians should service this
heater.

What Turns the Main Burners On and Off

This electricity is
used to operate the
main burners.

H
LO I

VENT

When heated, the thermopile
generates electricity (a very small
amount, measured in "Millivolts").

P I L OT

PILOT ADJ

The main burners
are switched on and
off using the
electricity generated
by the thermopile.
The ON/OFF switch,
remote control, or
thermostat control
the circuit to the main
burner.

MAIN BURNER

This heater uses a millivolt system to control its operation (a millivolt is a very small amount of
electricity). The thermopile and thermocouple generate electricity when heated by the pilot flame.
This electricity is used to operate the gas valve. Without enough electricity, the gas valve will not
turn on. That is why when starting the pilot the gas control knob has to be pressed in long enough
for the thermocouple to heat up and generate enough electricity. The thermopile provides power for
the ON/OFF switch, remote control, or thermostat (see the illustration below). Because the
thermopile generates the electricity needed to turn the heater on and off, this heater can be operated
when the power is out (although the blower will not run).

OFF

What Prevents Gas Buildup
+ This appliance utilizes a high-technology gas valve in conjunction with a pilot flame to ensure no
gas builds up inside the firebox.
+ The thermocouple (next to the pilot) senses when the pilot flame is lit. If the pilot flame goes out,
this thermocouple no longer generates electricity, causing the gas valve to automatically shut off all
gas to the heater, preventing the pilot from spilling gas into the firebox.
FF

H
I

VENT

Pilot Flame
The pilot flame is a time-proven
component that eliminates the possibility
of gas buildup inside the firebox.
Gas Valve
This high-technology valve automatically
shuts off all gas if it does not receive a signal
from the thermocouple. If any component is
damged or sensing a malfunction, or if the
wiring is damaged, it will shut off all gas.
I
P L OT

PILOT ADJ

Thermocouple
The thermocouple generates a small
amount of electricity. If the pilot flame
goes out, the gas valve automatically
shuts off all gas.

External Shut Off Valve
This valve is placed on the gas line
to shut off gas to the appliance
during maintenance procedures.

Ceramic Glass
The glass in your heater is the most
durable glass available. It has been
tested to be extremely resistant to
breakage and temperature changes.

TROUBLESHOOTING (CONTINUED)

P AGE 23

Why Nothing Should Be Placed Against the Heater
Your heater has a grill on the sides and top that must not be blocked. The area around the
control cover allows air into the firebox. If it is blocked the combustion inside the firebox will
not burn normally. This will result in reduced efficiency and the exhaust gases will become
dirty. The convection air openings on the side and top are used to draw room air over the hottest
parts of the heater and distribute the warmed air into the room. If they are blocked, the heater
will not heat as well and may become too hot internally.
