We recommend you purge the gas line at this time (with the glass removed).  This allows gas to be detected
once it enters the firebox, ensuring gas does not build up.

Replace the glass (and arch covers when using arched faces - see page 29).

Turn on the gas to the fireplace.  Turn on gas to the heater.  Leak test all gas joints prior to starting the
appliance.  Start the pilot (see page 38).  Start the main burner.  Leak test all gas joints again.

Check the pilot flame to make sure it looks like the illustration below.  Adjust the pilot flame if necessary.

Standard 
Screwdriver

The pilot flame must contact the thermocouple and 

thermopile (see the illustration below).  Adjust the pilot up or 

down as necessary.

To adjust the pilot flame,  turn this screw (NOTE: if totally 

unscrewed gas will come out of this port).  Clockwise 

lowers the flame while counter-clockwise raises it.

Let the heater burn for fifteen minutes.  Adjust the rear air shutter, if necessary, to achieve the correct looking
flame (see the illustration below).

The air shutters adjusts the amount of air that mixes with the gas before it exits the burner holes.  They are
used to fine-tune the flame for differences in altitude and vent configuration.

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.

Correct

Flames should be blue at the 

base, yellow-orange on the top.

If the flames are over 14" tall or sooty on 

the ends, open the air shutter.

Not Enough Air

If the flames are all blue and 

short, close the air shutter.

Too Much Air

NOTE: The logs must be installed correctly to 

monitor the flame while adjusting the air shutter.

Back Air 
Control

This heater uses three air controls.  Adjust 

the controls in or out until the flame looks 

correct.  Pushing in gives the flame less air 

(making it more orange).  Pulling out gives 

the flame more air, making it more blue.

If the air shutters are 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" – a dangerous situation.  Inspect the flames after installation to insure proper performance.  If the vent
