Finalizing the Installation
7 Let the heater burn for fifteen minutes. Adjust the air shutter, if necessary, to achieve the correct
looking flame (see the illustration below).
• The air shutter adjusts the amount of air that mixes with the gas before it exits the burner holes. It is
used to fine-tune the flame for differences in altitude and vent configuration.
There are two air shutters on this fireplace - adjust both air shutters to obtain the correct flame.
Move the controls left or right until the flame
looks correct. The rear air shutter affects
the rear portion of the burner, the front air
shutter the front portion of the burner.
Pushing to the right gives the flame less air
(making it more orange). Pushing to the left
gives the flame more air, making it more
blue.
NOTE: If the air control is all the way open,
yet the flames remain sooty, shut off gas to
the fireplace and contact a qualified gas
service technician.

base, yellow-orange on the top.
! If the air shutter is in its fully open position, yet the flames remain sooty, shut off gas to the heater and
contact the Travis Dealer for instructions.
! If the vent configuration is installed incorrectly the vent may cause the flames inside the heater to lift or
"ghost" – a dangerous situation. Inspect the flames after installation to insure proper performance. If
the vent configuration is correct, yet the flames are lifting or ghosting, shut off gas to the heater and
contact the dealer for information on remedying the problem.
! This heater has been tested at altitudes up to 8,000 feet. In this testing we have found that the
heater, with its standard orifice, burns correctly with just an air shutter adjustment.
! Failure to properly adjust the air shutter may lead to improper combustion and a
safety hazard.
