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.
Loosen the nut on the air shutter
control. Move the control left or right
until the flame looks correct. Pushing
to the right gives the flame more air
(making it bluer). Pushing to the left
cuts air down, making it more orange.

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.
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" Ð 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).
8
Turn the flame adjust knob to its highest position - the flames should be approximately 12" 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.
