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.

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 (dents should be reported, scratches can be fixed by

applying touch up paint).

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

The stove can be lightened by removing the firebricks and baffle (pg 28) - replace before operation.

Additional Accessories Needed for Installation

• Door Shell (Black 99300165 Brass 99300166 - see pg 32)

• Legs or Pedestal

Stove Installation Considerations

The table below details the six most common types of installations and the considerations for each type.

Alternative methods of installation are available if they comply with local building codes.

Installation Type Considerations

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.

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

• Standard residential installations with reduced clearance connector may use the clearance

determined by the manufacturer of the connector for the connector to wall clearance or the clearance

listed in this manual. Offsets must be used to maintain the stove to wall clearance. Mobile homes

must use the clearances listed in this manual under "Additional Requirements for Mobile Home

Installations".

Operating Your Appliance 17

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.

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.

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.

Opening the Door

Rotate

the door

handle.

Swing

the door

open.

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.

18 Operating Your Appliance

Bypass Operation

The bypass controls the flow of smoke inside the heater. When pulled out, smoke goes directly up the

flue, creating more draft. When pushed in, the smoke goes around the baffle, utilizing the secondary

combustion and making the heater more efficient.

• When starting or re-loading, pull the bypass out.

• During normal operation, push the bypass in.

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 is pushed in and by-pass pulled out. If additional air is needed, open the

doors 1/4" during the first five minutes of start-up.

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.

20 Operating Your Appliance

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 out to 9/32" open

Medium Burn 9/32" open to 5/16" open

Medium High Burn 5/16" open to 7/16" open

High Burn 7/16" open to pushed fully in

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.

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.

Operating Your Appliance 21

Optional Blower Operation

The blower will turn on once the stove is up to temperature. This is typically 15 to 30 minutes after

starting the fire. Follow the directions below to alter the blower speed.

The blower may be used to affect heat output (i.e.: to reduce heat output, turn the blower down).

Route the power cord in a location where it will not come in contact with the appliance or become hot.

Re-Loading the Stove

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

1 Open the air control (push it in). Open the bypass (pull it out).

2 Open the door slightly. Let the airflow inside the firebox to stabilize before opening the doors fully.

3 Load wood onto the fire.

Overnight Burn

This stove is large enough to accommodate burn times up to eight 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 3/16" and 5/16" steel may creak or click when

the stove heats up and cools down - this is normal.

Blower Sounds:

The blower will make a slight "humm" as it

pushes air through the stove.

Hint:

Make sure the leveling bolts on legs are extended -

preventing the hearth from amplifying any vibrations.

22 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. 18).

• Open the air control (pg. 20).

• 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. 18).

• Open the air control (pg. 20).

• 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. 18).

• Open the air control before opening the door (pg. 20).

• Let the air stabilize before fully opening the door. Then

open the door approximately 1 inch. Let air go into the

firebox for a few seconds. Once the smoke appears to

be flowing up the chimney consistently, open the door.

• 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 22 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

25 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.

24 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 Place a cloth or cardboard protector over the hearth to catch ash and protect against

scratching.

3 Open the doors and scoop 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.

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 25

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). If the latch requires adjustment, follow the directions below.

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.

26 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.

Firebrick and Baffle Inspection

Use the illustration on page 28 as a reference for checking the following items. Make sure the appliance

is cool before proceeding.

Baffle Firebricks - check the bricks along the ceiling of the firebox to make sure they are intact and have

no gaps between them. Slide the bricks to eliminate any gaps.

Baffle Supports - make sure the front and back baffle supports in are place and not degraded. Slight

scaling or rusting of the metal is normal.

Secondary Air Tubes - Check the two air tubes and collars to make sure they are intact and not severely

deteriorated. Slight scaling or rusting of the metal is normal. Make sure the push pins hold the air tubes

in place.

Floor and Wall Firebricks - replace any severely damaged firebrick along the side or floor of the firebox.

Replacing the Glass

The glass must not contact the door retainer or glass clips directly. The glass gasket and glass clip

gaskets insulate the glass to prevent cracking. Do not over-tighten the glass clips.

See "Door Shell Installation" (pg. 32) for details on removing the door handle and shell. NOTE: The glass

gasket is placed in the grove along the inside perimeter of the door retainer. Make sure the glass clip

screws are all fully tightened - they must be flush with the door retainer for the door shell to install.

Replacing the Door Gasket

The door gasket inserts into the outer groove of the door retainer. Stove gasket cement holds it in place.

Before installing, remove any residual cement. Lay the gasket in place (start at the lower left corner) and

cut off any excess gasket (do not stretch the gasket. The cement fully cures with heat from the stove.

You may need to open and close the door repeatedly to get the gasket to seat fully.

Replacing the Door Handle

See the illustration above for a component list (see pg. 25 for details on adjusting the door).
