SAFETY NOTICE:

Please read this entire manual before you install and use your new room heater. Failure to follow instructions 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.

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 plans for installation.

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 (dents should be reported, scratches can be fixed by applying touch up paint).

Check the interior of the firebox (replace cracked firebrick and make sure baffle is in place).

The stove can be lightened by removing the firebricks and baffle. (pg 26) - replace before operation.
