This appliance relies upon natural draft to operate.

Travis Industries can not be responsible for external forces leading to less than optimal performance. -

Over-firing may lead to damage of plated surfaces. If you are uncertain of over-firing conditions, we suggest placing a stove thermometer (e.g. Rutland® Model 710) directly over the door on the stove top - temperatures exceeding 800° are generally considered over-firing and will void the warranty. © Travis Industries 100-01233 4110304... - Page 16 The door becomes hot during use.

Excess creosote buildup may cause a chimney fire, that may result in property damage, injury, or death. Operating this appliance continually at a low burn rate (air starvation) or using green (un-seasoned wood) will increase the formation of creosote. © Travis Industries 100-01233 4110304... -
