SAFETY NOTICE:Please read this entire manual before you install and use your new room heater. Failure
to follow instructio ns may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.
Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation inspection
requirements in your area.
Always use gloves when operating a hot stove. The door handles, loading lid, bypass handle, and other
components become very hot during normal use.
Planning The Installation
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 installation plans.
Check with local building officials for any permits required for installation of this stove and notify your
insurance company before proceeding with installation.
Preparation for Installation
• Check for damage to the exterior of the stove.
• Check the interior of the firebox (replace cracked firebrick and make sure baffle is in place).
The stove can be lightened for transportation by removing the doors, loading lid, and firebricks. Replace
these components before operation.
• Install the bypass handle (included in the owner’s pack - see page 10).
