Vent Requirements

!

The vent must maintain the required clearance to combustible materials to prevent a fire (see

ÒClearancesÓ below). Do not fill air spaces with insulation.

!

The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, and never be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance. Each direct vent gas appliance must use it's own separate vent system.

Altitude Considerations

This heater has been tested at altitudes ranging from sea level to 8,000 feet (2,400 M). In this testing we have found that 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.

Clearances

When using 6-5/8" vent, a horizontal termination, and an elbow directly off the top of the fireplace, a 2" clearance is required above the horizontal sections (1" to the side and below).

AAA

Max. 3'

Horizontal

Run

With any vertical vent directly off the fireplace, the clearance is 1".

Use of 8Ó Diameter Pipe

¥ Most venting configurations use 6-5/8Ó diameter vent. To achieve longer horizontal runs (over 12Õ) with a horizontal termination, 8Ó dia. Simpson Duravent type GS Direct Vent may be used. See the section ÒHorizontal Terminations using 8Ó Diameter VentÓ for details. Part Numbers are listed below.

We recommend you purge the gas line at this time (with the glass removed). This allows gas to be detected once it enters the firebox, ensuring gas does not build up.

3 Replace the glass (and arch covers when using arched faces - see page 26).

4 Install the faceplate.

!

: Before installing the faceplate, make sure any masonry that has been treated with acid wash has been properly neutralized (this is used primarily with brick faces). Acid wash

(muriatic acid) is used to remove excess mortar. If not properly neutralized with an ammonia solution, the gold face may develop a permanent tarnish when the acid evaporates over time. Contact your dealer if uncertain your facing has been properly neutralized.

Rectangular Faces

Adjust he arch cover

(see page 12). Use the outside attachments on the side. There is no center attachment for rectangular faces.

Not Enough Air

If the flames are over 12" tall or sooty on the ends, open the air shutter.

Too Much Air

If the flames are all blue and short, close the air shutter.

!

If the air shutter is in its fully open position, yet the flames remain sooty, shut off gas to the heater and contact your Travis Industries Dealer for a remedy.

!

If the vent configuration is installed incorrectly the vent may cause the flames inside the fireplace to lift or "ghost" Ð a dangerous situation. Inspect the flames after installation to insure proper performance.

If the vent configuration is correct, yet the flames are lifting or ghosting, shut off gas to the fireplace and contact the dealer for information on remedying the problem.

!

This fireplace has been tested at altitudes up to 8,000 feet. In this testing we have found that the fireplace, with its standard orifice, burns correctly with just an air shutter adjust. If local codes require resizing the orifice, in the U.S.A. refer to ANSI 223.1, Appendix P, in Canada B-149.1 or B-149.2

!

Failure to properly adjust the air shutter may lead to improper combustion and a safety hazard. Consult your dealer or installer if you suspect an improperly adjusted air shutter.

Burner Ports

(holes)

Burner Tube

The flames should burn right off the top of the burner ports (if they are too blue, adjust the air control).

If the flames are lifting, yet the vent configuration is correct, contact your dealer.

If the flames are ghosting, yet the vent configuration is correct, contact your dealer.

8 Turn the flame adjust knob to its highest position - the flames should be approximately 12" 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.

This knob controls the speed of the internal convection blower that pushes the heated air into the room.

This control is used to turn the fireplace on and off.

Pilot Igniter The pilot igniter is used only to start the pilot. When pressed, it sends an electrical charge to the pilot assembly. This creates a blue spark directly next to the pilot, igniting the pilot flame.

Gas Control Knob This knob is used to control gas to the fireplace and for starting the pilot.

There are three positions, ON, OFF, & PILOT. The pointer directly below the knob indicates the position this knob is in.

Flame Adjust Knob This knob controls the flame height from low ("LO") to high ("HI"). The pointer to the upper left of the knob points to the position this knob is in.

?

If using a remote control or thermostat, the On/Off Switch must be left "ON". Turning the On/Off

Switch "OFF" will keep the fireplace off always.


Operation

Starting The Pilot Flame

The pilot flame is required to ignite the main burners (it also plays a safety role). It should be left on once lit. It will stay lit unless the gas control valve is turned to "OFF". However, the pilot will go out if the gas is shut off, the propane tank runs out (or low) or if the stove malfunctions. If the pilot turns off frequently, call your dealer for information. To start the pilot follow the directions below: a

When lighting or re-lighting the pilot, the glass must be removed

(see page 26).

a Remove the glass (see page 26 for details).

b Push the gas control knob in slightly and turn it to the "OFF" position. The knob will not turn from "ON" to "OFF" unless the knob is depressed slightly. Wait five minutes to let any gas that may have accumulated inside the firebox escape. If you smell leaking gas, follow the directions on the cover "IF YOU

SMELL GAS".

c Turn the gas control knob to the "PILOT" position and press the knob in, this will allow gas to flow to the pilot light. Press the red button on the pilot igniter repeatedly until you see the pilot light.

WARNING:

If the pilot does not light after 15 seconds, release the knob and call your dealer for service. Do not attempt to light pilot until service has been performed.

N O T E :

You may wish to remove the log set to gain a better view of the pilot (see page 27).

d Keep the gas control knob depressed for 30 seconds once it is lit.

e Release the gas control knob. If the pilot goes out, repeat step C. If the pilot refuses to stay lit, call your dealer for service. With the pilot lit, proceed to step ÒfÓ.

f Replace the glass.

g Turn the gas control knob counter-clockwise to "ON". The pilot is now lit and the heater can be turned on and off.

Operation

Starting the Fireplace for the First Time

+ Burn the heater at a high setting with the blower off for an extended period (up to 48 hours). This will cure the painted surfaces. Fumes from the paint curing and oil burning off the steel will occur. This is normal. We recommend opening a window to vent the room.

+ Condensation may appear on the glass each time you start the fireplace - this is normal.

+ Blue Flames will occur on the fireplace when it first comes on. After fifteen minutes the flames will turn a more realistic yellow and orange color.

?

Certain installations use a remote "wall switch" to turn the fireplace on and off. If this is the case, leave the ON/OFF switch "ON".

Failure to inspect and maintain the fireplace may lead to improper combustion and a potentially dangerous situation. We recommend the following procedures be done by a qualified technician.

1 Check the pilot flame. It should touch approximately 3/8" of the top of the thermopile and touch the top of the thermocouple (see illustration below). If it does not, contact your dealer for service.

2 Shut off gas to the fireplace by turning the gas control knob to "OFF" (see step A under "Starting the

Pilot" on page 31). Let the fireplace cool for 15 minutes. Remove the faceplate (see instructions included with face) and glass (see page 26).

3 Remove the log set (NOTE: the logs are very fragile - see page 27). If severely deteriorated, replace. Check the logs for sooting. A small amount of soot along the bottom of the logs is normal. If excessive sooting is found, the fireplace will require adjustment. Contact your dealer.

4 Clean the burner tube (especially the burner holes) and inspect the following:

Check for burner pan holes that are cracked, severely warped, or corroded.

Make sure the burner assembly is not warped or damaged.

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 touch the top 3/8Ó of the thermopile and thermocouple.

Check the walls and ceiling of the firebox for deterioration.

Make sure the burner pan is not warped or damaged.

5 Replace the log set. Replace the glass (if the glass is damaged, replace it). Make sure the gasket along the perimeter of the glass contacts the face of the firebox and forms an air-tight seal. If it does not, re-align or replace the gasket to insure an air-tight seal. Replace the faceplate.

6 Inspect the area behind the access door. Clean if necessary. Check the gas control valve and all of the gas lines. If any damage is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service.

7 Start the pilot and turn on the main burner. The flames should be orange/yellow and not touch the top of the firebox. If the pilot or main burners do not burn correctly, contact your dealer for service.

Monitor the blower operation.

8 Remove any debris or vegetation near the vent termination. Contact your dealer if any sooting or deterioration is found near the vent termination.

How this Fireplace Works

!

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

What Turns the Main Burners On and Off

This fireplace 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 fireplace on and off, this fireplace can be operated when the power is out (although the blower will not run).

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

This electricity is used to operate the main burners.

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.

PILOT ADJ

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.

External Shut Off Valve

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

Thermocouple

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

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.
