Drafting Performance
This appliance relies upon natural draft to operate. External forces, such as wind, barometric pressure,
topography, or factors of the home (negative pressure from exhaust fans, chimneys, air infiltration, etc.),
may adversely affect draft. Travis Industries cannot be responsible for external forces leading to less
than optimal performance.
Insert Rollers
Two rollers are built into the back edge of the insert. This
allows the insert to be rolled into position by lifting the front
of the insert and pushing it into position (see
