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 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.
The location of your wood heater in your home will decide how effectively the heat produced will spread
throughout your house. Attention to the home design with consideration of natural convection and air
circulation should be taken into account when choosing the placement of your heater within the home.
Preparation for Installation
•
Make sure the baffles and combustor are in place.
•
Check for damage to the exterior of the stove (dents should be reported, and scratches can be fixed
by applying touch-up paint).
•
Check the interior of the firebox (replace any cracked firebricks and make sure the baffle and
combustor are in place).
The stove can be lightened by removing the firebricks and baffle (pg. 36) - replace them before
operation.

minimum floor protection).
•
Floor protection must be non-combustible and at least .018" (.45mm) thick (26 gauge) – no thermal
protection required (R=0).
Stove Placement Requirements
Clearances may be reduced by methods specified in NFPA 211, listed wall shields, pipe shields, or other
means approved by local building or fire officials.
•
The stove must be placed so that no combustibles are within, or can swing within 36" (914mm) of the
front of the stove (drapes, doors, etc.)

requirements in the section "Alcove Installation Requirements".
