Planning The Installation

HINT:

HINT:

HINT:

HINT:

Have an authorized Travis Industries dealer install this heater. If you install the heater yourself, have your dealer review your installation plans.

Sketch out a detailed plan of the installation including dimensions. Then verify the dimensions with the requirements listed in this manual.

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.

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

•

•

?

HINT:

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".

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)

Outside Air (used for combustion)

• Must not be drawn from an enclosed space (garage, unventilated crawl space).

HINT: Travis Industries strongly suggests outside air for all residential installations, especially for those that are energy efficient, air-tight homes.

• Must not be over 15' long.

• Must be made with 1 3/4" diameter or larger metal or aluminum duct with a metal screen attached to the end to keep out rodents (P.V.C. or other combustible materials may not be used). We recommend the Travis

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"

•

Maximum depth is 48"

•

Minimum width is 46"

•

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.

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).

Operation

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

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

2 to 4 hours

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

A

A

AA

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.

The Two Modes of Operation:

M a n u a l

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 "startup" sequence for a minimum of 20 minutes.

Manual Mode

Manual mode requires the user to turn the heater on and off manually.

To Start

Press the "Manual Start" button. That's it. The stove automatically goes to a medium burn rate and high fan while the igniter starts the fire burning within 10 minutes. During this period the lowest “HEAT OUTPUT” light will flash. If the stove does not start in 30 minutes, the stove turns off.

Once up to temperature, the stove will then run at the heat output setting selected on the control panel (see “To Adjust the Heat” below).

Operation

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.

2 3

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).

Operation

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.

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.

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.
