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.  
Opening the Door  
Rotate  
Swing

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.

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 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 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.

Move the air control to high burn and let the stove become hot (burn for approximately 15 minutes).  
Load as much wood as possible. Use large pieces if possible.  
Let the stove burn on high for 15 minutes to keep the stove hot, then turn the air control to low.  
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.

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.

Operating Your Appliance  
Troubleshooting  
Problem  
Possible Cause  
Open the bypass (pg. 15).  
Smoke Enters Room During  
Start-Up  
Open the air control (pg. 17).  
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.  
Open the bypass (pg. 15).  
Kindling Does Not Start - Fire  
Smolders  
Open the air control (pg. 17).  
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.  
Open the bypass before opening the door (pg. 15).  
Open the air control before opening the door (pg. 17).  
Smoke Enters Room While Re-  
Loading  
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.  
Wood is Wet - see the section "Selecting Wood" on  
page 19 for details on wood.  
Stove Does Not Burn Hot Enough  
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.  
Stove is Not Up to Temperature - This is normal. The  
blower will come on when the stove is hot - usually 15  
to 30 minutes.  
Blower Does Not Run  
Electricity is Cut to the Blower - Check the household  
breaker or fuse to make sure it is operable.  
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  
22 for details.  
Stove Does Not Burn Long  
Enough  
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.

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.  
Use wood stove gasket

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 (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 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).

Front Blower (part # 99000133)  
To Switch The Power Cord To The Left Side:  
Use a pair of pliers to disconnect the strain relief which holds the power cord in place. With the power  
cord slackened, the molex connectors that attach the power cord to the blower assembly may be  
disconnected. Pry the button plug from the left side of the blower assembly and insert it into the hole on  
the right side. Pull the left side molex connector out from behind the deflection plate and cut the nylon tie  
that holds the wire back. Insert the molex connector on the power cord through the hole on the left side  
of the blower assembly and attach it to the left side molex connector. Route the wire directly behind the  
blower cage. Place the strain relief over the power cord (it should be in the same location on the power  
cord that it was before – approximately 2" from where the wires split). Insert the strain relief into the hole  
on the left side until the strain relief locks in place. Make sure the power cord, wires, or molex assembly  
do not protrude into the opening of the blower.  
The wires tuck in here, directly  
behind the blower cage.
