Before You Begin
READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE YOU INSTALL AND USE THIS HEATER. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY INJURY, OR EVEN DEATH.
Check with local building officials for any permits required for installation of this pellet heater and notify your insurance company before proceeding with installation.
Packing List
• Thermostat & Wire | • Scraper Rod Tool • Brush • Fuses (2) |
Installation Options:
•Residential or Mobile Home (see the section 'Mobile Home Requirements')
•Alcove Compatible (see the section 'Alcove Installation')
•Horizontal or Vertical Vent
•Outside Air Compatible
•Vent with L-Vent, L-Vent Fireplace Liner, or Type A Chimney (with adapter)
Planning The Installation
HINT: | Have an authorized Travis Industries dealer install this heater. If you install the heater |
yourself, have your dealer review your installation plans. | |
HINT: | Sketch out a detailed plan of the installation including dimensions. Then verify the |
dimensions with the requirements listed in this manual. | |
HINT: | When determining the location of the stove, locate the wall studs (for horizontal |
penetrations) and ceiling trusses (for vertical penetrations). You may wish to adjust the | |
stove position slightly to ensure the vent does not intersect with a framing member. | |
HINT: | Place the heater outside and load 10 pounds of pellets inside the hopper. Plug the |
heater in and let it run on HIGH until the pellets run out. This will cure the paint and burn | |
off any oil on the steel, eliminating any smell inside the home. |

These lights indicate the heat output setting.
NOTE: the lights may be difficult to see from an angle.
Press the “up” or “down” button to adjust the heat output.
2 2 | Operation |
Auto Mode
Auto mode allows you to use a thermostat to control room temperature. The stove automatically turns on when the temperature drops below the thermostat setting. Once the stove reaches operating temperature, the stove then runs at the heat output setting selected.
To Adjust Room Temperature (or Start the Stove)
Move the thermostat to the heat setting desired. If the room is cooler than the setting, the stove will go through the start-up sequence for approximately 10 minutes. During this period the lowest “HEAT OUTPUT” light will flash. Once up to temperature, the stove will then run at the heat output setting selected on the control panel. If the room is too hot, move the thermostat to a lesser setting.
To Adjust the Heat
Press the 'Heat” buttons to adjust the heat output.
HINT:
If you find that the stove turns on and off repeatedly, you may wish to turn the heat output to a lesser setting. The lower setting will provide a more consistent heat output over time, eliminating the need for the thermostat to repeatedly turn the stove off.
NOTE:
If the thermostat calls for heat while the stove is still cooling down, the stove will go through the start-up sequence (for a minimum of 20 minutes).

Restrictor Adjustment
The exhaust restrictor “fine tunes” your appliance, adjusting the amount of air flowing to the flame.
NOTE: the optimal restrictor position will vary over time as soot builds up inside the exhaust system.
Not Enough Air:
If clinkers develop or the flame appears lazy and slow to blow the ash out of the firepot, pull the restrictor outward until the flame becomes active and the firepot holes remain clean. NOTE: If the restrictor is fully out (“5”), yet the firepot does not remain clean, the stove needs to be cleaned and checked for air leaks (see “Maintenance” section of this manual).
Too Much Air:
If the flames are too active (small, flickering flames) or if burning pellets are expelled from the firepot, move the restrictor rod inwards until the flame slows down and no burning pellets are expelled. Another symptom of too much air is the heater “blowing the fire out” – a condition in which the pellets burn faster than they are fed (this is most common on low)

2 4 | Operation |
This stove utilizes a start-up sequence whenever the mode switch is changed or the heater is started when cold. This is to ensure proper operation through all possible settings and operational states (hot or cold, pellets burning or not burning, etc.). This sequenceover-rides all user settings (except the 'OFF' position) to set the auger feed rate to medium, the exhaust blower to high, and the igniter on. During this period the lowest “HEAT OUTPUT” light will flash.
'MANUAL AUGER' Button
This button turns the auger on. It is used to “prime” the auger after the hopper has run out of pellets.
'AUGER ON' Light
This light comes on when the auger is turning. This allows the operator to determine when the auger is turning.
'FAULT' Light
This light comes on when an error occurs:
•The stove runs out of pellets
•During initial start-up (for a split second) or for improper electrical frequency
•A start-up sequence that does not result in the heater coming up to temperature
To reset the fault light, turn the mode switch to off and re-start the stove.

Fault and #2 (LOW) Light Flash = Flow Switch Fault
Fault and # 4 (MID) Light Flash = System Snap Disk Fault (pellets run out & stove goes cold)
Fault and # 6 (HIGH) Light Flash = Safety Snap Disk Fault
Power Outages
If a sustained power outage occurs while in 'Manual', the stove will go to a 'cool down' mode to vacate smoke once power returns. If the power outage was short, the heater will go to the start-up sequence. If in 'Auto', the stove willre-start (if the room is cool).
!Because this stove relies upon a blower to evacuate the smoke, some smoke may enter the home during a power outage. To keep to a minimum, leave the door closed.
Maintenance | 2 5 |
Daily Maintenance (whenever using the stove)
Inspect the Burn
When burning on high, the flames should be bright orange with embers jumping from the firepot.
NOTE: the optimal restrictor position will vary over time as soot builds up inside the exhaust system. See 'Restrictor Adjustment' for details.
Make Sure Pellets are
Not Piling Up
If the pellets pile up over the burn pot, turn the mode switch to 'OFF'.
The most likely causes are:
• Restrictor needs adjustment (see “Restrictor Adjustment” in the installation section of this manual)
• The door, glass, or ashpan is open or has an air leak
•The firepot requires cleaning
• The exhaust system requires cleaning
2 6 | Maintenance |
Daily Maintenance (whenever using the stove) - Continued
Check Firepot for
Clinkers
If the flames seem to be coming only from the sides, or are orange/black, turn the heater off and check for clinkers.
The most likely causes are:
•Restrictor needs
adjustment (see “Restrictor Adjustment” in the installation section of this manual)
• Poor pellet quality
• The door or glass has an air leak
•The exhaust system requires cleaning
Cleaning the Firepot
