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.

Flue Installation

Included in the owner's pack are
three "flue brackets" and six self-
drilling screws. Use these
components to secure the flue to the
fireplace insert.
