Stove Installation

SAFETY NOTICE:
Please read this entire manual before you install and use your new room heater. Failure to
follow instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death. Contact
local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation inspection requirements in
your area.
Always use gloves when operating a hot stove. The door handle and other components become very
hot during normal use.

Planning The Installation

We suggest that you have an authorized Travis Industries dealer install your stove. If you install the
stove yourself, your authorized dealer should review your installation plans.
Check with local building officials for any permits required for installation of this stove and notify your
insurance company before proceeding with installation.
The location of your wood heater in your home will decide how affectively the heat produced will spread
throughout your house. Attention to the home design with consideration of natural convection and air
circulation should be taken into account when choosing the placement of your heater within the home.

Preparation for Installation

The stove can be lightened by removing the firebricks and baffle (pg 30) - replace before operation.

Check for damage to the exterior of the stove.

Check the interior of the firebox (replace cracked firebrick and make sure baffle is in place).

The door (shipped separately - SKU 96100612 or 96100724) must be installed prior to operation.

The stove must be installed with the legs (see page 10).
