Safety Precautions  
Safety Warnings:  
Failure to follow all of the requirements may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.  
This unit must be installed by a qualified installer to prevent the possibility of an explosion.  
This appliance must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, in U.S.A. follow ANSI  
Z223.1 and NFPA 54(88).  
In Manufactured or Mobile Homes must confirm with: In USA, Manufactured Home Construction and  
Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280, or, when such a standard is not applicable, the Standard for  
Manufactured Home Installations, ANSI/NCSBCS A225.1. This appliance may be installed in  
Manufactured Housing only after the home is site located.  
All exhaust gases must be vented outside the structure of the living-area. Combustion air is drawn  
from outside the living-area structure.  
Notify your insurance company before hooking up this fireplace.  
The room heater should be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified service person.  
More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc.  
The instructions in this manual must be strictly adhered to. Do not use makeshift methods or  
compromise in the installation. Improper installation will void the warranty and safety listing.  
This heater is approved for use with natural gas (NG) or propane (LP). Burning the incorrect fuel will  
void the warranty and safety listing and may cause an extreme safety hazard. Direct questions about  
the type of fuel used to your dealer. Check the label and flame adjust knob on the gas control valve.  
Contact your local building officials to obtain a permit and information on any installation restrictions or  
inspection requirements in your area.  
If the flame becomes sooty, dark orange in color, or extremely tall, do not operate the heater. Call your  
dealer and arrange for proper servicing.  
It is imperative that control compartments, screens, or circulating air passageways of the heater be  
kept clean and free of obstructions. These areas provide the air necessary for safe operation.  
Do not operate the heater if it is not operating properly in any fashion or if you are uncertain. Call your  
dealer for a full explanation of your heater and what to expect.  
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable liquids in the vicinity of this heater.  
Do not operate if any portion of the heater was submerged in water or if any corrosion occurs.  
Do not place clothing or other flammable items on or near the heater. Because this heater can be  
controlled by a thermostat there is a possibility of the heater turning on and igniting any items placed  
on or near it.  
Light the heater using the built-in piezo igniter. Do not use matches or any other external device to  
light your heater.  
Never remove, replace, modify or substitute any part of the heater unless instructions are given in this  
manual. All other work must be done by a trained technician. Don't modify or replace orifices.  
The viewing glass should be opened only for lighting the pilot or conducting service.  
Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing must be replaced prior to operating the heater.

Safety Precautions  
5
Safety Warnings (continued):  
Allow the heater to cool before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning.  
Operate the heater according to the instructions included in this manual.  
If the main burners do not start correctly turn the gas off at the gas control valve and call your dealer for  
service.  
The pilot flame must contact the thermopile and thermocouple. If it does not, turn the gas control  
valve to "OFF" and call your dealer.  
This unit is not for use with solid fuel.  
Do not place anything inside the firebox (except the included logs).  
If the fiber logs become damaged, replace with Travis Industries log set.  
Do not throw this manual away. This manual has important operating and maintenance instructions  
that you will need at a later time. Always follow the instructions in this manual.  
Do not touch the hot surfaces of the heater. Educate all children of the danger of a high-temperature  
heater. Young children should be supervised when they are in the same room as the heater.  
Due to the high temperature, the heater should be located out of traffic and away from furniture and  
draperies.  
Instruct everyone in the house how to shut gas off to the appliance and at the gas main shutoff valve.  
The gas main shutoff valve is usually next to the gas meter or propane tank and requires a wrench to  
shut off.  
Travis Industries, Inc. grants no warranty, implied or stated, for the installation or  
maintenance of your heater, and assumes no responsibility of any consequential  
damage(s).

A carbon monoxide (CO) detector is required in the same room as the appliance.  
The gas line must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, follow ANSI  
223.1 and the requirements listed below.  
The fireplace and gas control valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping during  
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig. For pressures under 1/2  
psig, isolate the gas supply piping by closing the manual shutoff valve.  
Fuel  
Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior to and after starting the fireplace.  
This fireplace is designed either for natural gas or for propane (but not for both). Check the sticker on the top of  
the gas control valve to make sure the correct fuel is used.  
Gas Line Connection  
Installation must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier (In Massachusetts  
a licensed plumber/gasfitter).  
Standard Input Pressure

Vent Requirements  
21  
The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, and  
never be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance. Each  
direct vent gas appliance must use it's own separate vent system.  
In addition to the requirements listed here, follow the requirements provided with the vent.  
A firestop is required whenever the vent penetrates a wall, floor, or ceiling (passes through  
framing members). Horizontal vent less than 48" above the fireplace must use the Travis  
Firestop (sku 93006094 - it incorporates a 3" clearance above, 1" clearance below and to the  
sides of the vent). Other penetrations only require a 1" clearance and may use a standard  
firestop (make sure the required 1" clearance is met).  
Always use the high-wind termination (if available from the vent manufacturer).  
Vent Clearances  
The vent must maintain the required clearance to combustible materials to prevent a fire. Do  
not fill air spaces with insulation.

Altitude Considerations  
This heater has been tested at altitudes ranging from sea level to 6,000 feet. In this testing we have found  
that the heater, with its standard orifice, burns correctly with just an air shutter adjustment.  
Failure to adjust the air shutter properly may lead to improper combustion which can create a safety hazard.  
Consult your dealer or installer if you suspect an improperly adjusted air shutter.

Installation (for qualified installers only)  
Approved Vent  
Rear vent configurations use 8" diameter Simpson Dura-Vent Model GS vent.  
Top vent configurations use 8" or 6-5/8" diameter Simpson Dura-Vent Model GS vent. If using  
6-5/8" diameter vent, attach the 8" to 6-5/8" reducer (Travis part # 98900165) to the fireplace.  
6-5/8" Diameter Vent  
Reducer - # 98900165  
Vent Installation  
Slide the vent sections together and turn 1/4 turn until the sections lock  
in place.  
Screws are not required to secure the vent. However, three screws may  
be used to secure vent sections together if desired.  
High temperature sealant is recommended at the appliance starter  
section connection (use high-temperature silicone or Mill-Pac®).  
If disassembly is required, at time of re-assembly check to see if the vent  
creates a tight fit. If it does not, apply high temperature sealant to the  
joints of the affected sections.  
Horizontal sections require a 1/4" rise every 12" of travel  
Horizontal sections require non-combustible support every three feet (e.g.: plumbing tape)

Restrictor Position  
Intake and exhaust restrictors are built into the appliance to adjust the flow rate of intake air and  
exhaust gases. Depending upon the vent configuration, you may be required to adjust the  
restrictor positions. The charts for acceptable vent configurations detail the correct vent  
restrictor positions.  
Exhaust Restrictor Adjustment  
If the diffuser is required to be in position # 2, you may wish to adjust the diffuser while the exhaust  
restrictor is removed.  
Loosen these four screws  
on the exhaust restrictor.  
Slide the restrictor to the correct  
restrictor position (see the illustration  
below). The rear screws indicate  
restrictor position. In this example, the  
restrictor is set in position # 3. Tighten  
the screws to secure the restrictor.

Finalizing the Installation (for qualified installers only)  
Steps for Finalizing the Installation  
43  
1. Remove the glass (see page 45).  
NOTE:  
If using propane (LP) convert the appliance prior to installing the logs.  
2. 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.  
3. Install the logs (see page 47).  
4. 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.  
Starting the Pilot Flame  
WARNING:  
When lighting or re-lighting the pilot, the glass must be removed (see page 43).  
a
b
Remove the glass.  
Push the gas control knob in slightly and turn it to the "OFF" position. The knob will not turn  
from "ON" to "OFF" unless the knob is depressed slightly. Wait five minutes to let any gas that  
may have accumulated inside the firebox escape. If you smell leaking gas, follow the  
directions on the cover "IF YOU SMELL GAS".  
c
Turn the gas control knob to the "PILOT" position and press the knob in, this will allow gas to  
flow to the pilot light. Press the button on the pilot igniter repeatedly until you see the pilot  
light.  
WARNING:  
If the pilot does not light after 15 seconds, release the knob and call your dealer  
for service. Do not attempt to light pilot until service has been performed.  
NOTE:  
You may wish to remove the log set to gain a better view of the pilot (see page 47).  
d
e
Keep the gas control knob depressed for 30 seconds once it is lit.  
Release the gas control knob. If the pilot goes out, repeat step C. If the pilot refuses to stay lit,  
call your dealer for service. With the pilot lit, proceed to step “f”.  
f
Replace the glass.  
g
Turn the gas control knob counter-clockwise to "ON". The pilot is now lit and the heater can be  
turned on and off.  
5. Check the pilot flame following the directions below.  
Pilot Flame Inspection  
The pilot flame should look like the illustration below. Adjust the pilot flame if necessary.  
The pilot flame must contact the thermocouple and  
To adjust the pilot flame, turn this screw. Clockwise

6. Replace the glass.  
7. Start the main burner (the main burner circuit is detailed on page 20). Leak test all gas joints  
again.

Finalizing the Installation (for qualified installers only)  
8. Check the air shutter following the directions below.  
Air Shutter Adjustment  
Let the heater burn for fifteen minutes (make sure the logs and glass are in place). The flames should  
be yellow with no sooting. Adjust the air shutter, if necessary, to achieve the correct looking flame.  
Correct  
Not Enough Air  
Too Much Air  
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.  
If the flames are all blue and  
short, close the air shutter.  
Air Shutter Adjustment  
The air shutters may be adjusted while the burner is on (take care to prevent contacting the burner  
area).  
There are two air shutters on this fireplace - adjust both air shutters to obtain the correct flame.  
Rear Air  
Front Air Shutter  
Move the controls left or right until the flame  
looks correct. The rear air shutter affects  
the rear portion of the burner, the front air  
shutter the front portion of the burner.  
Pushing to the left gives the flame more air,  
making it more blue. Pushing to the right  
gives the flame less air, making it more  
orange.  
Shutter Control  
Control  
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.  
MORE  
AIR  
LESS  
AIR  
NOTE: The logs must be installed correctly to  
monitor the flame while adjusting the air shutter.  
9. Turn the flame adjust knob to its highest position - the flames should not contact the top of the  
firebox. Check the flame on low position. The flames should burn off of each burner hole. If  
the heater does not work correctly, contact your Travis dealer for a remedy.  
10. Give this manual to the home owner for future reference and fully explain operation of this  
heater. For comprehensive operating and maintenance instructions, refer to the Owner's  
Manual (part # 100-01181).  
ACID WASH WARNING: Before installing the faceplate, make sure any masonry that has been  
treated with acid wash has been properly neutralized (this is used primarily with brick faces). Acid  
wash (muriatic acid) is used to remove excess mortar. If not properly neutralized with an ammonia  
solution, the plated face may develop a permanent tarnish when the acid evaporates over time.  
Contact your dealer if uncertain your facing has been properly neutralized.

Special Instructions for 864 HH  
Newer 864 HH fireplaces (SN 3407-001010 or later) have an improved wiring harness and  
removable heat shields below the heat duct connections. The wiring harness is now routed through  
the snap disk, allowing the power heat duct to be turned on and off by the fireplace (see “Wiring  
Instructions” on page 62). An additional knock-out was added to the fireplace to allow for the  
electrical line to be routed to the power heat duct (see below). The removable heat shields allow  
more heat to be routed to the power heat ducts (see below for details).
