SAFETY NOTICE:

Please read this entire manual before you install and use your new room heater. Failure

to follow instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.

Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation inspection

requirements in your area.

Always use gloves when operating a hot stove. The door handles, loading lid, bypass handle, and other

components become very hot during normal use.

Planning The Installation

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 installation plans.

Check with local building officials for any permits required for installation of this stove and notify your

insurance company before proceeding with installation.

Preparation for Installation

• Check for damage to the exterior of the stove.

• Check the interior of the firebox (replace cracked firebrick and make sure baffle is in place).

The stove can be lightened for transportation by removing the doors, loading lid, and firebricks. Replace

these components before operation.

• Install the bypass handle (included in the owner’s pack - see page 10).

Stove Installation (for qualified installers only) 11

Chimney Connector Requirements

• Chimney connector is required from the flue collar of the stove to the factory-built chimney (see

Figure 7) or masonry chimney (see Figures 13, 14, and 15).

• The chimney connector must be 6” diameter and a minimum 24 gauge black steel, 26 gauge blued

steel, or one of the reduced-clearance connectors listed on page 8.

NOTE: Aluminum or galvanized steel is not allowed – these materials can not withstand the flue

temperatures and may give off toxic fumes when heated.

NOTE: Standard residential installations may use single-wall connector (Mobile-Homes may not).

• The chimney connector may not pass through a ceiling, attic, roof, closet, or any other concealed

space (use listed UL 103 HT chimney – see “Chimney Requirements for details). DO NOT USE

CONNECTOR PIPE AS CHIMNEY.

• The chimney connector should be as short and direct as possible. No more than 180o of elbows (two

90o elbows, or two 45o & one 90o elbow, etc.) may be used for the entire system (connector and

chimney).. Horizontal runs should slope upwards 1/4” per foot and be a maximum 36” long.

• The chimney connector must be installed with the crimped end pointing downwards (see Figure 7).

This prevents creosote from leaking to the exterior of the pipe.

• The chimney connector must be fastened to the stove and each adjoining section (and chimney).

• In cases where the chimney connector must be passed through a combustible wall or partition, the

following NFPA 211 method may be used if local building codes permit. Check with local authorities

before installation to insure all necessary requirements have been met. Figure 6 details a wall pass-

through based on the NFPA 211 standard.

• Use 6" diameter type UL 103 HT chimney from one manufacturer (do not mix brands) or code

approved masonry chimney with a flue liner.

• Chimney must be fastened to each adjoining section.

• Follow the chimney manufacturer's clearances and requirements.

• Use the chimney manufacturer's fire stops, attic guards, roof supports, and flashings when passing

through a ceiling

• No more than 180o of elbows (two 90o elbows, or two 45o & one 90o elbow, etc.) may be used for the

entire system (connector and chimney).

NOTE: Additional elbows may be allowed if draft is sufficient. Whenever elbows are used the draft is

adversely affected. Additional chimney height may be required to boost draft.

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.

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.

Read and follow all of the warnings on pages 4 and 5 of this manual.

Operating the Stove when it is Hot

Always use gloves when operating a hot stove. The door handles, loading lid, bypass handle, and other

components become very hot during normal use.

Before Your First Fire

Verify the Installation

Before starting the stove, verify that the stove is properly installed and all of the requirements in this

manual have been followed.

Keep all flammable materials 36" away from the front of the stove (drapes, furniture, clothing, etc.).

Curing the Paint

This heater 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. This

typically lasts two to four hours. You may also notice oil burning off of the interior

of the heater. This rust-stopping agent will soon dissipate. Furthermore, do

not burn the stove at a high temperature during the first fire. This allows the

cast iron and finish to properly cure.

Door Gasket - The door gasket might adhere to the paint on the front of the

heater. Leave the door slightly ajar for the first fire and be careful when opening

the door after the first fire.

2 to 4 hours

Over-Firing the Stove

This stove was designed to operate at a high temperature. But due to differences in vent configuration,

fuel, and draft, this appliance can be operated at an excessive temperature. If the stove 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.

Over-firing may lead to damage of plated surfaces. If you are uncertain of over-firing conditions, we

suggest placing a stove thermometer (e.g. Rutland® Model 710) directly over the door on the stove top -

temperatures exceeding 800° are generally considered over-firing and will void the warranty.

20 Operating Your Appliance

Opening the Doors

Typically the doors are only opened to start the fire. Use the Loading Lid to re-load the stove.

Open the bypass first (this prevents

smoke from entering the room).

Open the latch. Swing the

doors open.

WARNING: Do not swing the doors past 90°. This may cause

the doors to strike the body of the stove and cause damage.

NOTE: When closing the doors, close the left door first. Then

shut the right door and tighten the latch.

A door latch tool is included for

operation when the door latch is

hot. Hang the tool on the air

control when not in use.

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 bypass before opening the door (see following page

for directions). You can also open the door a small amount and let air enter the firebox.

Operating Your Appliance 21

Bypass Operation

The bypass controls the flow of smoke inside the heater. When open, smoke goes directly up the flue,

creating more draft. When closed, the smoke goes through the combustor, utilizing the secondary

combustion system and making the heater more efficient.

• When starting or re-loading the stove, open the bypass.

• Once the stove reaches full temperature – typically 30 minutes, close the bypass.

The bypass handle is located on the left

side. Rotate it to open the bypass.

Bypass CLOSED

Used for normal

operation

Bypass OPEN

Used for starting

and re-loading

If the bypass does not latch in the closed position, you will need to adjust the bypass latch (see page 30).

Loading Lid Operation

Open the lid 1" for a few

seconds to allow air to

enter the firebox.

Open the bypass first (this

helps prevent smoke from

entering the room).

Lift the lid upward.

A log poker is

provided with this

stove. It attaches

with a clip to to the

back of the stove.

WARNING: This part

becomes hot - use gloves.

Open the air control and allow air to flow

into the firebox for 30 seconds.

Do not wear loose clothing while re-loading the stove. Any item dangling above the opening may ignite.

Carefully close the loading lid after use. Allowing it to “slam” shut may damage the stove.

22 Operating Your Appliance

Starting a Fire

Since the dawn of time man has debated the best way to start a fire. Some use the boy-scout "tee-pee",

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 and by-pass are pulled out. If additional air is needed, open the doors 1/4"

during the first five minutes of start-up.

Open the bypass. Leave it

open until the stove is

HOT (up to 45 minutes).

Pull the air control

all the way out.

ALLOW THE STOVE TO FULLY HEAT PRIOR TO SHUTTING THE BYPASS

We occasionally get calls regarding a smokey stove during start-up. The primary cause is

shutting the bypass prior to the stove becoming hot. If you shut the bypass too early, the

combustor will not work (the combustor must be hot for it to work properly). This in turn will slow

combustion and will lead to a smokey fire.

Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start

or "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 the

firebox 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.

Starting a “Top-Down Fire”

One particularly successful method for starting a fire is to

stack several large pieces of wood in the center of the stove

(see the illustration to the right). Then place a several wads

of newspaper in the center with kindling on top. When you

light the newspaper this “top-down” fire will burn its way to

the center, igniting the larger pieces. With some practice,

this method should work for you.

Operating Your Appliance 23

Adjusting the Burn Rate

Use the air control slider to control the burn rate of the stove. See the illustration below for details.

Low Burn

(air control closed)

High Burn

(air control open)

Use the air control to

change the burn rate.

Approximate Air Control Settings

Overnight Burn Fully in

Medium Burn 1/32" to 5/32” Open

Medium High Burn 5/32” to Fully Open

High Burn Fully Open (Pulled Out)

The air control becomes hot during operation - use gloves or a tool to prevent burns.

The air control may take several minutes to influence the burn rate. When making adjustments, you

may wish to let the stove burn for 10 minutes to gauge performance.

24 Operating Your Appliance

Ash Removal

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, 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 thoroughly

cooled.

Ashpan Removal

The ashpan must be properly inserted and fully closed during operation. Failure to fully close and seal

the ashpan may lead to an over-fired stove, negating the warranty and creating a safety hazard.

The ashpan may only be removed after the stove has fully cooled.

Twist the ashpan

handle clockwise.

A handle is provided

on the ashpan to

remove the ashes.

Lift up on the

Re-Loading the Stove

Follow the directions below to minimize smoke spillage while re-loading the stove.

1 Open the air control all the way (pull it out). Open the bypass (rotate it down).

2 Open the loading lid. Let the airflow inside the firebox stabilize before opening the loading lid fully.

3 Load wood onto the fire.

Overnight Burn

This stove is large enough to accommodate burn times up to twelve hours. Follow the steps below to

achieve an overnight burn.

1 Move the air control to high burn and let the stove become hot (burn for approximately 15 minutes).

2 Load as much wood as possible. Use large pieces if possible.

3 Let the stove burn on high for 15 minutes to keep the stove hot, then turn the air control to low.

4 In the morning the stove should still be hot, with embers in the coal bed. Stir the coals and load

small pieces of wood to re-ignite the fire, if desired.

Differences if chimney height and draft may lower overall burn times.

Normal Operating Sounds

Creaks and Clicks:

The steel may creak or click when the stove heats up

and cools down - this is normal.

Blower Sounds:

The optional blower will make a slight "humm"

as it pushes air through the stove.

26 Operating Your Appliance

Hints for Burning

• Get the appliance hot before adjusting to low burn

• 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

Selecting Wood

• Dry Wood is Key

• Dry wood burns hot, emits less

smoke and creates less creosote.

• Testing Wood Moisture

• Split wood stored in a dry area will

be fully dry within a year. This

insures dry wood. If purchasing

wood for immediate use, test the

wood with a moisture meter. Some

experienced wood burners can

measure wood moisture by

knocking pieces together and

listening for a clear "knock" and not

a "thud".

and Creostoe

Why Dry Wood is Key

Wet wood, when burned, must release water stored within the wood. This cools the fire, creates

creosote, 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 and

chop into quarters. Store the wood off the ground in a

covered area. Allow for airflow

around the wood to dry the wood.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause

Smoke Enters Room During

Start-Up

• Open the bypass (pg. 21).

• Open the air control (pg. 23).

• Cold Air Blockage - burn a piece of newspaper to

establish a draft.

• If the flame is not getting enough air, a small crack in

the door is all that is needed.

Kindling Does Not Start - Fire

Smolders

• Open the bypass (pg. 21).

• Open the air control (pg. 23).

• Not enough starter paper - use additional newspaper if

necessary.

• If the flame is not getting enough air, a small crack in

the door is all that is needed.

Smoke Enters Room While Re-

• Open the bypass before opening the door (pg. 21).

• Open the air control before opening the door (pg. 23).

• Open the loading lid 1 inch and let air enter the firebox

for a few seconds. Once the smoke appears to be

flowing up the chimney consistently, open the loading

lid completely.

• Insufficient Draft - Chimney height and outside

conditions can negatively affect draft. In these cases a

small amount of smoke may enter the home. Adding

more pipe or a draft-inducing cap may help.

Stove Does Not Burn Hot Enough • Wood is Wet - see the section "Selecting Wood" on

page 26 for details on wood.

• Make sure the air control is all the way open. Slide the

control back and forth to insure the control is not stuck.

• Insufficient Draft - Chimney height and outside

conditions can negatively affect draft. In these cases

the fire may burn slowly. Adding more pipe or a draft-

inducing cap may help.

Blower Does Not Run • 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.

Stove Does Not Burn Long

Enough

• Depending upon wood, draft, and other factors, the

burn time may be shorter then stated. Make sure the

doors are sealing and not allowing air into the firebox -

See the section "Door and Glass Inspection" on page

29 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.

28 Maintaining Your Appliance

Failure to properly maintain and inspect your appliance may reduce the performance and life of the

appliance, void your warranty, and create a fire hazard.

Daily Maintenance (while stove is in use)

Remove Ash (if necessary)

• Ash removal is not required once it builds up. 1/2" to 1" of ash may be desirable because it slows the

burn rate. Generally, remove ash once it has built up over 1". Follow the directions below to remove

ash.

1 Let the stove cool completely (at least two hours after the last coal has extinguished).

2 Direct all of the ash through the grill into the ashpan. Remove the ashpan (see page

24). Place 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.

3 You may wish to remove any ash that is deposited in the combustion brick or

combustor (see page 32). This will insure proper combustor operation.

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 your

dealer for details.

Clean the 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 the

directions below.

For Stubborn Creosote:

Dip newspaper or a paper towel in cool

ashes and wipe it on the glass. The ash

acts as a light abrasive.

Allow the stove to fully cool. Apply glass

cleaner or soapy water to the inside of

the glass. Wipe with newspaper or a

paper towel.

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

Maintaining Your Appliance 29

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.

The door can be lifted off the hinges if extensive repairs are conducted.

Severely frayed or thread-bare

gasket should be replaced.

Use wood stove gasket

cement to re-adhere

loose gasket.

If the glass is damaged, replace

it - see “Replacement Parts” for

details.

High-Temperature anti-sieze

may be used on the door

hinges to eliminate squeaks.

The door latch should pull the door against the face of the stove (but not so tight as to not allow full

handle rotation). To adjust the door latch, adjust the position of the striker plate that attaches to the front

plate of the stove.

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 slow-

burning 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 full

inspection. Excess creosote buildup may cause a chimney fire, that may result in property damage,

injury, or death.

30 Maintaining Your Appliance

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 the appliance 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 will appear darker

than the surrounding paint until it cures from heat. Curing will give off some

fumes while curing – open windows to ventilate.

Touch-Up

Paint

Cleaning the Air Duct and Blower (if applicable)

Use a vacuum to clean the air ducts (channels). This prevents dust from burning and creating odors.

The optional blower should be vacuumed every year to remove any buildup of dust, lint, etc.

Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any

buildup on the screens of the blower.

STOVE

Adjusting the Bypass Latch

The bypass latch uses a pressure plate to secure it in the closed position. If the bypass does not latch to

the closed position, it may be adjusted following the directions below.

Close the bypass -- you may need

to hold it in the shut position.

Tighten this bolt 1/2 turn. Test operation of the

bypass - opening and closing it several times. If it

does not latch shut, tighten the bolt another 1/2 turn.

NOTE: In rare cases the bolt may be over-tightened,

not allowing the bypass handle to rotate down. in

these cases, loosen the bolt.

The rear blower improves heat transfer by pushing heated air through the convection channel. Operating

instructions are described in the section "Blower Operation".

Route the wires on the

outside of the stove, behind

the convection jacket.

Tuck the thermodisk into place. It

wedges between the rear heat sheild

and the cast iron firebox.

Bend the legs of the

thermodisk bracket to

make it 1-1/2” deep.

1-1/2”

3/8" Wrench

Plug the blower in. Do not route the power cord under or over the stove or in a

location where it may become damaged.

Route the wires from the blower through the hole

in the back of the blower housing. Attach these

wires to the thermodisk wires.

Position the blower near the rear of the stove. Tuck all excess wire into the

blower box, making sure it does not contact any moving parts. Make sure when

installing the blower, these wires do not become loose.

Attach the blower to the

stove with the three screws
