Safety Warnings (continued) 

 

Because this heater can be controlled by a thermostat there is a possibility of the heater turning on 
and igniting any items placed on or near the appliance. 

 

Light the heater using the built-in igniter.  Do not use matches or any other external device to light 
your heater. 

 

Never remove, replace, modify or substitute any part of the heater unless instructions are given in this 
manual.  All other work must be done by a trained technician.  Don't modify or replace orifices. 

 

The viewing glass should be opened only for conducting service. 

 

Allow the heater to cool before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning. 

 

Operate the heater according to the instructions included in this manual. 

 

If the main burners do not start correctly turn the gas off and call your dealer for service. 

 

This unit is not for use with solid fuel. 

 

Do not place anything inside the firebox (except the optional artwork). 

 

Warning:

  Do not operate appliance with the glass front removed, cracked or broken.  Replacement 

of the glass should be done by a licensed or qualified service person. 

 

Do not throw this manual away.  This manual has important operating and maintenance instructions 
that you will need at a later time.  Always follow the instructions in this manual. 

 

Instruct everyone in the house how to shut gas off to the appliance and at the gas main shutoff valve.  
The gas main shutoff valve is usually next to the gas meter or propane tank and requires a wrench to 
shut off. 

 

A barrier designed to reduce the risk of burns from the hot viewing glass is provided with this 
appliance and shall be installed for the protection of children and other at-risk individuals. 

 

If the barrier becomes damaged, the barrier shall be replaced with the manufacturer’s barrier for this 
appliance. 

 

Clothing or other flammable material should not be placed on or near the appliance. 

 

Any safety screen, guard, or barrier removed for servicing an appliance must be replaced prior to 
operating the appliance. 

 

Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service person.  The appliance should be 
inspected before use and at least annually by a professional service person.  More frequent cleaning 
might be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, et cetera.  It is imperative 
that control compartments, burners, and circulating air passageways of the appliance be kept clean. 

 

Travis Industries, Inc. grants no warranty, implied or stated, for the installation or 
maintenance of your heater, and assumes no responsibility of any consequential damage(s).
