Finalizing the Installation
7
Let the heater burn for fifteen minutes. Adjust the front and rear air shutters, if necessary, to achieve
the correct looking flame (see the illustration below).
•
The air shutters 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.
ADJUSTING THE AIR SHUTTERS
Pushing the control 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. For fine
adjustments use a screwdriver to tap the
air shutter.
NOTE: If the air shutter is all the way
open, yet the flames remain sooty, shut
off gas to the fireplace and contact a
qualified gas service technician.
Correct
Flames should be blue at the
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 your Travis Industries Dealer for a remedy.
!
If the vent configuration is installed incorrectly the vent may cause the flames inside the fireplace 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 fireplace
and contact the dealer for information on remedying the problem.
!
This fireplace has been tested at altitudes up to 8,000 feet. In this testing we have found that the
fireplace, with its standard orifice, burns correctly with just an air shutter adjust. If local codes require
resizing the orifice, in the U.S.A. refer to ANSI 223.1, Appendix P, in Canada B-149.1 or B-149.2
!
Failure to properly adjust the air shutter may lead to improper combustion and a
safety hazard.
Consult your dealer or installer if you suspect an improperly
adjusted air shutter.
The flames should burn right off
the top of the burner ports (if they
are too blue, adjust the air control).

Turn the flame adjust knob to its highest position - the flames should be approximately 10" tall. Check
the flame on low position. The flames should burn off of each burner hole. If the heater does not work
correctly, contact your dealer for a remedy.
