Installation (for qualified installers only)
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.
Leveling Bolt Installation
Two leveling bolts are included to level the insert if the fireplace has a stepped-up hearth. To install, raise
the rear of the insert up and insert the leveling bolts into the holes in the rear corners of the insert. Adjust
the bolts until they extend the same height as the hearth steps up. After the insert is installed, fine-tune
the leveling bolts to level the insert (see Figure 4).
The leveling bolts go
into the holes at the
rear corners of the
insert.
This distance is the
hearth step-up. The
leveling bolts should
stick out this far from the
base of the insert.

Installation (for qualified installers only)
Block-Off Plate Installation
11
Whenever this appliance is installed with a direct connection a block-off plate, or other non-combustible
seal-off device (e.g. damper adapter), will need to be installed. This device is used to seal the chimney,
insuring no smoke enters the home and providing the chimney system with a seal to promote draft. The
directions below detail the steps for construction and installation of a block-off plate.
1
2
Determine a location for the block-off plate at the top of the firebox below the damper area (make
it high enough to allow installation of the connection pipe). The location should be level and in an
area where it can be mounted easily. Measure the width at the rear ("A") and front ("B") of the
firebox at the height where the block-off plate will be installed (see Figure 5). Then measure the
depth of the location where the block-off plate will be installed ("C").
Make a cardboard template of the measurements, but add a 2" flange to each side. This flange
will be used to mount the block-off plate to the inside of the firebox. Bend the flanges downwards
on the template and place it inside the fireplace. If the template fits correctly in its planned
location, go to the next step. If it does not, make a new template with the appropriate corrections
until it fits correctly.
3
4
With the template in place, mark the location of the flue (see “Dimensions” on page 6). This
location approximates the center of the flue when the insert is in place (a slight offset may occur
based upon insert and block-off plate placement). Remove the template and cut a 6 1/4"
diameter hole centered on this mark.
Make the block-off plate of 24 gage or thicker steel to match the template. Drill two holes in each
flange for mounting the plate.
5
6
Mount the block-off plate using masonry screws.
Insulate the block-off plate using high-temperature fiberglass insulation (Kaowool® or equivalent)
and furnace cement (allow the cement to dry for at least 24 hours before burning).
7
After placing the appliance and installing the pipe through the block-off plate, use high-
temperature fiberglass insulation and furnace cement to seal any cracks between the pipe and
block-off plate.

Operating Your Appliance
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 it 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
2 to 4 hours
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.
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.

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.

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 is pushed in and the 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.

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 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.

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

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".

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.

Maintaining Your Appliance
21
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
2
Let the stove cool completely (at least two hours after the last coal has extinguished).
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.
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.
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.
The glass will develop a very slight haze over time. This is normal and will not affect viewing of the fire.

Maintaining Your Appliance
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.

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.

Maintaining Your Appliance
23
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
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 25 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. 29) 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. 24 for details on adjusting the door).
