DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE: Disconnect power before attempting maintenance or repair.
Maintaining Your Heater's Appearance
The appliance must be completely cool prior to conducting service.
Cleaning the Glass
The glass may be cleaned with a non-abrasive
cleaner. To clean the inside of the glass, simply
remove the glass frame, place it on a non-
scratching surface, and clean the surface.

Painted Surfaces

•
Painted surfaces should be cleaned with a duster. If scratches occur, lightly sand the area with fine sandpaper.
Clean the area and, with the stove cool, apply one or two thin coats of stove paint to the area (mask the area to
avoid overspray). Allow the stove to dry, then turn the stove on to cure the paint (1 hour on medium).

Enamel Surfaces

• Use only soft cloth and water to clean enamel surfaces. To fix chips in the enamel, follow the directions below:
1) Let the stove cool. Clean the area thoroughly.
2) Shake the Travis Enamel Touch-Up thoroughly. Apply to the damaged area

Patina Surfaces

•
The patina finish is a "living" color and will age and antique over time. Some portions of the finish may become
slightly dull in appearance, especially over the top where it becomes hot. This is normal. The only cleaning we
recommend is a light dusting when the appliance is cool.
DO NOT USE ANY LIQUID, CLEANER, OR ABRASIVES ON THIS FINISH.

Yearly Service Procedure


Failure to inspect and maintain the heater may lead to improper combustion and a potentially dangerous
situation. We recommend the following procedures be done by a qualified technician.
1. Light the pilot flame. It should touch approximately 3/8" of the top of the flame sensor. If it does not, contact
your dealer for service.
2. Shut off gas to the heater and let it cool for 15 minutes. Remove the glass (see page 29). Glass may be
cleaned with glass cleaner and a soft cloth (do not use abrasive cleaners).
3. Remove the media (see the instructions included with your media kit). If severely deteriorated, replace. Check
the media for sooting. A small amount of soot along the bottom of the media is normal. If excessive sooting is
found, the heater will require adjustment. Contact your dealer.
4. Inspect the burner and remove any debris.

Make sure the burner is not warped, cracked, or damaged.

Check the firebox and area around the pilot to make sure there is no warping or damage.

If any problem is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service.
5. Replace the media. Clean and replace the glass. If the glass is damaged, replace. Make sure the gasket along
the perimeter of the glass contacts the face of the firebox and forms an air-tight seal. If it does not, re-align or
replace the gasket to insure an air-tight seal.
6. Inspect the area behind the access door. Clean if necessary.
Check the gas control valve and the gas lines. If damage is found,
discontinue use and contact your dealer for service. Clean the air
channels, ducts, and blower (if applicable).
7. Start the main burner. Inspect the main burner and pilot flame.
After 15 minutes the flames should be orange/yellow and not touch
the top of the firebox. If the pilot or main burners do not burn
correctly, contact your dealer for service. Monitor blower operation.
8. Remove any debris or vegetation near the vent termination. Contact
your dealer if any sooting or deterioration is found near the vent
termination. Venting system should be examined by a qualified
agency.
