PLANNING THE INSTALLATION HINT: 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 plans for installation. This stove is approved for connection to either a factory-built chimney or existing masonry or zero- clearance fireplace. Depending upon your installation concerns. a wide range of installation options are yours to provide the most desirable installation. The sections that follow detail the requirements that must be met for a safe installation. To further help installation. the six most common types of installations are explained in the section "Stove Installation Considerations". Prior to installing your stove make a detailed plan with dimensions to double-check them against all of the requirements listed. 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 (cracked firebrick should be replaced, displaced baffle components should be replaced). HINT: The stove can be lightened by removing the firebricks and baffle. - see "Firebrick Removal and Replacement Instructions" on pages 24 and 25. 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 Tvpe Considerations Standard Ceiling with a Factory Built Chimney .

Raise the stove by inserting some pieces of lumber in the middle of the stove to a height of about 8". Line up the hole in the top of the leg with the threaded bolt hole in each comer of the stove bottom. Using a 9116" open end or socket wrench, fasten the leg to the stove with the supplied attachment bolts and washers, making sure the legs are flush with the comers of the stove. Unscrew the leveling bolts enough so the stove will rest on the rubber tips, not the metal portion of the legs. Lower the stove down. Attach each leg to the stove by inserting a bolt and washer through the hole or slot in the leg and into the threaded hole on the stove. Use a 9/16" socket wrench to tighten. ~w~! .. ~ Leveling bolts are attached to the leg. Do not have any weight on the bolts while adjusting them - the rubber tips may tear. To level the stove, lift the stove up and unscrew each leveling bolt the appropriate amount. The rubber tips of the leveling bolts will tear if they arc adjusted while weight is applied to them.

OPERATING YOUR ApPLIANCE PAGE 15 ,SAFETY NOTICE: If this appliance is improperty operated, a house fire may result. For your safety, read the directions below and the Safety Precautions listed on pages 2 and 3 prior to operating this appliance. . If you have any questions regarding the operation of this appliance, contact your dealer. Building a fire in disregard of the information provided in this section can cause permanent damage to your appliance and void your warranty. Never use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start of "freshen up" a fire in this appliance. Keep these liquids well away from the appliance. Keep furnishings and other combustible materials away from the aDPliance. PAINT CURING The paint on this stove cures under heat. Start a small fire and bum at a low rate for the first fire. You will notice fumes and smoke from the paint curing and oil burning off the steel. This is normal. We recommend you open windows to vent the room. 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. Ashes should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. LOCATION OF CONTROLS Slide in to allow more air into the firebox, for a faster rat~ burn l{[1I'''- ."

Once you become accustomed to operating your appliance, you will be able to start a hot fire quickly, adjust the heat output precisely, and obtain overnight bums easier. Experienced wood burners may not need the information below, but may be able to re-affirm their skills by reading the following. The better you understand your appliance, the more rewarding you .will find it. How to Start a Hot Fire Quickly Your wood-burning appliance acts much like an engine - before it will work at its best, it needs to reach a high temperature. The most common mistake in starting a fire is to use too little kindling or turning the air control down too early. For good results, YOU MUST OBTAIN AN INTENSE FIRE BEFORE CLOSING THE AIR CONTROL DOWN. The steps below detail one method for starting a fire. I. Pile several pieces of kindling on top of newspaper or a fire starter in the center of the firebox (it is better to have too much kindling than not enough). Place two medium sized pieces of wood on either side of kindling laying front to back. 2. Make sure the air control is fully open (push all the way in). Start the newspaper or fire starter. Note: you may want to crack the door during starting to allow for more air. 3. Allow the kindling to start and burn. Then place another medium size piece of wood on top of the burning kindling so that it straddles the two medium pieces and close the door. This arrangement takes advantage of the air inlet located in the center under the door to feed the fire with adequate oxygen. You may notice the flames burning from the front to the back. 4. Wait at least 30 minutes or until the appliance is fully hot before closing the air control down. CD How to Reload Your Applianee When reloading your appliance, you can avoid smoke entering the room by following the steps below: I. Push the air control all the way in until the fire starts to bum quickly, helping draft. 2. Open the door one inch and let air enter the appliance for a few seconds. 3. Carefully place the new wood on top of the existing fire. Let the fire bum on high for at least 20 minutes before turning it down - this will reduce creosote build-up. !" (~\ '>0.. Open the door 1" and let air enter (, '\ ~I ~y.. the appliance for a few seconds 0 ,,~ om __~j OPERATING YOUR ApPLIANCE (CONTINUED) PAGE 17 How to Adjust the Heat Output Precisely One complaint from wood-burning appliance owners is controlling the heat output to obtain a consistent room temperature. The reason for this is the inherent lag time between adjusting the air control and the change in heat output. Simply put, if you turn a hot appliance down now, it will continue to put off high amounts of heat for an additional 15 minutes. To obtain consistent room temperature. think ahead. When the room is starting to warm, and is almost up to the right temperature, turn the appliance down. If you utilize an optional blower, turn it on and off to increase or decrease room tempera1ure. If you find the appliance must be turned down often, bum smaller. more intense fires instead. Although this means more reloadings, it will reduce creosote build-up and give a more consistent heat output. "."./" we A. I .,~~ How to Obtain an Overnight Burn An overnight bum of 8 hours may be obtained with a small amount of coals left over in the morning if the right steps are taken. I. Establish a hot fire. 2. Fill the wood appliance with large pieces of wood, preferably hardwoods like oak or maple. 3. Let the wood bum on high for 20 to 30 minutes to allow the new pieces of wood to catch fire and bum off any moisture. 4. Pull the air control out to a low setting. HINT: You want an air control position that is the farthest in, yet still allows coals to be left in the morning. Experiment using air control positions that are farther and farther in until a suitable position is found. 5. In the morning, break down the coals and lay kindling and small pieces of wood on top of the coals to re-establish the fire. NOTE: Even the smallest amount of coals can start a new fire easily because of all the heat energy stored in the refractory firebrick. If there are no coals left, yet the appliance is hot, you will find starting a new fire will be much easier and the appliance will start giving off heat much quicker than if started cold. Good Burning Habits Increased efficiency, reduced emissions, and less creosote are the rewards of good burning habits.. The items below list good habits to establish with your new appliance. . Get the appliance hot before turning it down . Use smaller pieces of wood during start-up and high bums to increase temperature . Use larger pieces of wood for overnight or sustained bums . 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: bum dry wood only . Bum small, intense fires instead of large, slow burning fires when possible . Learn your appl iance's operating characteristics to obtain optimum performance NOTE: A stove thermometer gives you a good indication of how hot your appliance is burning when placed directly on top of the appliance. Low bum is approximately 300 degrees F., medium bum 500 to 600 degrees F., and high bum 700 to 800 degrees F. PAGE 18 OPERATING YOUR ApPLIANCE (CONTINUED) BLOWER OPERATION The rear blower is available to assist the rear convection chamber in distributing heat. The directions below detail the options you have with the blower and the best method for operation. When to turn the blower on The blower should be left off for the first 30 minutes of starting the appliance. Starting the blower while the appliance is still cool will only slow the time it takes the appliance to reach an optimum temperature. Blower controls The blower controls are located on the switch box connected by a cord to the blower. See the illustration below for details on operation. RUN OFF STARTUP Speed Rocker Switch If OFF is selected, the blower will always be off, even if on AUTO. RUN is the slow speed, STARTUP is the fast speed. AUTO OFF MAN ---- Mode Rocker Switch If OFF is selected, the blower will always be off, no matter what the speed setting is at. AUTO allows the blower to turn on and off automatically. MAN turns the blower on, regardless of the stove's temperature. Blower Operation Chart The blower may be operated in several different modes to allow the user to operate the blower as desired. The chart below describes how the blower will operate depending on how the two switches are located. Speed Rocker Switch Mode Rocker Switch RUN .- OFF STARTUP ---------..-- .-- AUTO The blower will run at a slow The blower The blower will run at a high speed whenever the appliance is stays off speed whenever the appliance is wann enough wann enough - ,.~--I OFF The blower stays off The blower stays off stays off -- --',.-,- -~- MAN The blower will run at a slow The blower The blower will run at a high speed until turned off stays off speed untillumed off How to Use the Blower to Regulate Heat Turn the blower on if the room needs heat and the appliance is up to temperature. When the room has reached a high enough temperature, turn the blower off to stop the heat transfer. Used in conjunction with the air control. a steady temperature can be achieved. OPERATING YOUR ApPLIANCE (CONTINUED) PAGE 19 A WORD ABOUT WOOD This appliance is designed to bum natural cord wood with high efficiencies and low emissions. With properly dried wood, you will fully realize the heating and clean-burning potential of our high- technology appliance. With poor wood, this high-technology appliance will become much less efficient and produce more emissions. Read on to find out more about the type of fuel you should use. The Drier the Better The most common mistake made by wood-burners is using wet, green, or un-seasoned fuel. Ask any experienced wood-burner, and he or she will tell you the importance of dry wood. The reason is this: wet, green, or un-seasoned wood still has water in it. When the wood bums it must use its heat energy to evaporate the water. This robs your home of heat (it also leads to greater smoke and creosote due to lesser firebox temperatures). Dry wood usually has cracks in the grain. It will also be lighter and when two pieces are knocked together a crisp "knock" will be heard, not a dull "thud". When burning green, wet, or unseasoned wood you may notice difficulty in lighting. and water bubbling out of the grain when it becomes hot. l Leads " ITO l Leads " I To . .,)~~t\.:.~.. ,::i';);-.;--. -- --A~" ~.';ii;:.'" !::;,~\~'~r l Leads " ITO l Leads " I To How to Dry and Store Wood Aging is the only economical method for drying wood. Follow the steps below to dry and store wood: I. Make sure the wood is split into quarters and is no longer than 18" long (Hint: if you cut trees in summer, leave the leaves on for a week, this will draw moisture from the wood to dry it quicker). 2. Stack the wood in loose piles that are covered and off the ground (this is to allow air to pass over each piece of wood - promoting faster drying) If no shelter is built, place clear polyethylene plastic over the wood (at an angle to allow moisture to TUn off). Let dry for at least one year. 3. Store the wood in a dry location, preferably outside to prevent insects and dirt from entering the home. When needed, move small loads inside where the added heat will promote further drying. Cut the wood to 18" or less lengths and chop into quarters before stacking Cover with 4 mil Polyethylene AirFlow 1- ~.

Softwoods, such as pine or fir ignitc and bum quicker, but require more frequent loadings and are less suited for overnight bums. For longer bums, with less frequent loadings, we recommend harder woods such as oak or maple. The chart below details the BTU (heat) output of the various species.

Buy wood in the spring and summer, when prices arc lower and it will have plenty of time to dry. If buying in winter, have the wood moisture tested (test several pieces). You will receive up to 25% more heat from a cord of dry wood than from wet or green wood. Rotate your wood so as to allow for the maximum drying time for all pieces. Don't Burn Wood Scraps, Garbage, Paper, Wax Logs, Coal, Etc. Wood scraps from construction are typically chemically treated, making them difficult to bum and dangerous due to emitting chemicals. The same holds true for garbage, solvents, driftwood containing salt, cardboard, and colored paper. Coal and wax impregnated logs bum especially hot, creating a possible safety hazard. In addition, all the aforementioned items may create excessive creosote. MAINTAINING YOUR ApPLIANCE PAGE 21 . MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE Your appliance requires periodic maintenance to work correctly. The steps involved with maintenance are usually quick and easy. Look through this maintenance schedule and plan accordingly. WARNING: 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. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE (every week when appliance is in use): . Remove ash from the firebox (if necessary) . Clean the viewing glass (if necessary) . Clean the brass (if necessary) . Check for creosote buildup in the chimney and connector HI-MONTHLY MAINTENANCE (every two months during the heating season): . Door and glass inspection . Lubricate the door hinge YEARLY MAINTENANCE (before every heating season): . Touch-up paint . Blower cleaning . Firebrick and baffle inspection and cleaning REMOVE ASH FROM THE FIREBOX (IF NECESSARY) At least once a week while the appliance is in use, check the level of ash on the floor of the firebox. If I" or more of ash has accumulated, let the appliance cool and place the excess ash into an airtight container away from any structure. After the ash is fully extinguished it may be disposed. A 1/2" to I" bed of ash is desirable, for it allows the appliance to bum at a slightly lower speed. WARNING: Ashes removed from the appliance must be stored in an airtight container away from any structure until fully extinguished before disposing. CLEAN THE VIEWING 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 especially dirty glass, use fine steel wool to remove build-up. Apply glass cleaner to the inside of the glass when it is cool ~ 'J;;!'F an Then take a piece of newspaper or paper towel, dip it in cool ashes, and wipe the glass r:\( ~ ~~ CHECK FOR CREOSOTE BUILDUP Creosote buildup should be checked twice monthly during the heating season. Either look down the chimney from the top or remove a chimney connector section. Any more than 1/4" of buildup requires chimney cleaning. Creosote develops quickest when burning at a low temperature or when burning un- seasoned wood. When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other vapors which combine with moisture to fonn creosote. Creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue and creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire. PAGE 22 MAINTAINING YOUR ApPLIANCE (CONTINUED) DOOR AND GLASS INSPECTION The door must seal air-tight for the appliance to work correctly. Check the two items below and follow the appropriate remedy to fix any problems. . Check the door cam operation. When closed, the door cam should pull the door against the face of the appliance, but not be so tight as to not allow the handle to point downwards. If the operation is not correct, see the section "Adjusting the Door Cam" below. . Remove the door by opening it and lifting it off the hinges. Place the door face down and check the door gasket (see the illustration below). If the door gasket requires replacement, see the section "Replacing the Door Gasket" on the following page. Check the glass and glass gasket. If the glass or gasket require replacement, see the section "Replacing the Glass or Glass Gasket" on the following page. The door gasket should be unbroken, have __ enough bulge to contact the face of the unit, and be firmly attached to the door frame. Check the glass for any cracking. The glass gasket should form an airtight seal between the glass and the door frame. Door Cam Adjusting the Door earn If the door cam does not pull the door against the face of the appliance, the door cam will need to be tightened (see the illustration below for details). If the door handle does not turn down all the way, it is too tight and will need to be loosened (see the illustration below for details). Before adjusting, remove the door by opening the door and lifting it off the hinges.

'" Washers MAINTAINING YOUR APPLIANCE (CONTINUED) PAGE 23 Replacing the Door Gasket Remove the door by opening it and lifting it off the hinges. Remove the old gasket by stripping it away with a screwdriver or other tool (see the illustration below). Apply a line of gasket cement (available from your dealer) in the groove that follows the perimeter of the door. Insert the gasket into the groove. Do not stretch the gasket as you place it into the groove. Cut off any excess gasket when done. Allow 2 hours for the cement to dry. When re-installing the door, the gasket may need to be flattened by repeatedly opening and closing the door. Replacing the Glass or Glass Gasket Remove the door by opening it and lifting it off the hinges. Remove the door handle from the door. Then remove the glass retainer by unscrewing the ten screws that hold it in place with a 5/16" nutdriver (see the illustration below). Carefully remove the glass. Make sure the 3/4" black channel tape (new or old) runs around the perimeter of the glass. If using a new gasket, trim off any excess. Place the glass (new or old) in place so there is a small gap between the edge of the glass and the door frame. Make sure the gasket is tucked underneath the glass so the glass does not touch the door frame. Place the glass retainer in place and secure it with the screws removed earlier. Make sure the white gasket stays in place and seals the window. Tighten the glass retainer until the gaskets start to flatten.

LISTING INFORMATION PAGE 29 -' PAGE 30 OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT '- REAR BLOWER INSTALLATION IPARU 990001381 The rear blower is designed to improve the natural convection of the stove by pushing air through the convection chamber of the stove and causing the heated air to exit through the vents along the top of the stove. Operating instructions are described in the section "Blower Operation" on page 18. The directions below detail its installation. I. Lift the stove and place a piece of wood along one side to keep it elevated. Use a screwdriver to pry out the two rear knock-outs underneath the stove. They are located on the rear edge of the stove and are each 4 1/4" wide. 2. Feed the two wires from the thermodisk assembly through the stove and out the left side knock- out removed in step I. Insert the thermodisk assembly into the left side convection channel underneath the ashlip. The thermodisk should fit tight in the channel. If it does not, remove it and bend the metal support down to insure a snug fit. Position the thermodisk so it is just behind the support tab (see the illustration below). These wires pass lt1rough the left side convection channel. Air Control Rod Thermodisk Assembly Bend metal up or down here to create a snug fit Insert the thermodisk assembly 4" to 5" inside the convection channel. 3. Slide the wire clip over the metal between the two knock-outs removed in step I (see the illustration below). Run the two wires from the thermodisk assembly through the wire clip and pull the slack wire out of the stove. The wires coming from the thermodisk assembly must not have any slack - these wires may cause a short if the wires come in contact with the firebox. Remove enough slack to eliminate the wires rubbing on the firebox, but do not tighten so as to dislodge the thermodisk assembly. These knock-outs must be removed. Feed the two thermodisk wires into the eye of the wire clip. The two yellow wires attach to the thermodisk. Three holes for attaching the blower box to the back of the stove ~Qo 0 Af"~~ Power Cord (exits from back "Z') )" Slide the wire clip over the 'I.. edge of the strip of metal L between the two knock-outs. Blower Box 4, Route the two yellow wires from the blower box through the top portion of the blower assembly (the wires must not exit out the hole in the back of the blower box). Connect these wires to the two wires from the thermodisk assembly (orientation does not matter). 5. Place the blower box near the bottom rear of the stove and push any slack wire into the blower box so that when the blower box is attached the excess wire will not contact the stove. Attach the blower box to the stove with the three screws included with the blower kit (use a 3/8" nutdriver). You may wish to pre-thread the holes in the baek of the stove prior to putting the blower box in place. , OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT (CONTINUED) PAGE 31 OUTSIDE AIR BOOT INSTALLATION (PART # 992001341 The outside air boot includes all of the items necessary to route outside air to the stove for combustion when a stove is installed on legs. Before installing, check the section "Outside Air Requirements" on page 9 for installation concerns. The directions below outline the steps for in3 stalling outside air boot. I. Before installing the stove, determine the location of the outside air hole that penetrates through the floor protection and floor. The illustrations below detail the size of the outside air boot and its location in relation to the faceplate of the stove. The hole may be cut anywhere underneath the outside air boot, as long as it is not within I" of the outside perimeter of the outside air boot, is at least I 6 square inches in area, and does not interfere with structural members of the home. Cut the hole when the correct location is determined. 2. Install the legs (see instructions above). Pry out the outside air knock-out. It is 3 7/8" wide, 2 ] 12" deep, and 5 13/16" back from the front of the stove. See the illustration below. 3. Align the air boot over the knock-out and mark the locations where the two holes located on the top side of the air boot line up on the bottom of the stove. Use the included 9164" drill bit to drill holes into the bottom of the stove where the marks were placed (you may need to tilt the stove or place it on its side). Drill only enough to penetrate the first layer of metal. The air boot fitsovet this hole Holes lor __ :~::~:~~ ';.~r=::f~~F::~SS the stove I I j four edges) Top--- ~~HoIefor Segment .

Attach the fiberglass tape to all four top edges of the air boot. There is a seam in the bottom segment of the air boot. Position the air boot over the knock-out so this seam is facing the rear. Attach the air boot to the bottom of the stove with two of the included sheet metal screws. 5. Right the stove and position it in its final position. Mark the location where the air boot contacts the floor. Attach fiberglass tape to the bottom of the air boot so it covers all four edges of the air boot, and telescope the air boot down until it makes contact with the floor. Press against the air boot so it seals against the floor. 6. The two holes on the sides of the air boot are used to hold for a screw that keeps the two telescoping segments of the air boot from moving. Use the included 9/64" drill bit to drill a hole through the holes and into the top segment of the air boot. Then screw the two remaining sheet metal screws into these holes. Use touch-up paint to remove scratches from the outside air boot. 7. The outside air boot includes several cover plates. Use the cover plate that is 6 lI2" wide. The rest may be discarded. Remove the two screws that hold the piece that fits over the air control rod in place (see the illustration below). Slide the air control plate in place underneath the air control rod. Replace the piece removed from the cover plate. The cover plate should form an air-tight seal against the air control portion of the stove. '" f1f 1...."..J Remove the two screws on the cover plate to remove the piece thaI fils over the air control rod. Then replace the piece when the cover plale is in place.
