Maintaining Your Stove's Appearance
Painted Surfaces
• Painted surfaces should be cleaned with a duster. If scratches occur, lightly sand the area with fine sandpaper.
Clean the area and, with the stove cool, apply one or two thin coats of stove paint to the area (mask the area to
avoid overspray). Allow the stove to dry, then turn the stove on to cure the paint (1 hour on medium).
Enamel Surfaces
• Use only soft cloth and water to clean enamel surfaces. To fix chips in the enamel, follow the directions below:
1) Let the stove cool. Clean the area thoroughly.
2) Shake the Travis Enamel Touch-Up thoroughly. Apply to the damaged area.
Patina Surfaces
• The patina finish is a “living” color and will age and antique over time. Some portions of the finish may become
slightly dull in appearance, especially over the top where it becomes hot. This is normal. The only cleaning we
recommend is a light dusting when the appliance is cool.
DO NOT USE ANY LIQUID, CLEANER, OR ABRASIVES ON THIS FINISH.
Glass
• Clean the glass with soap and water (do not use abrasive cleaners). Glass removal instructions are on page 25.
Battery Replacement
Power Backup Batteries
Four AA batteries are used as a power backup for the stove in case the household (AC) power goes out. They also
power the comfort control feature. These batteries must be inserted into battery holder (make sure they contact the
terminals - see the illustration below). The fireplace controller will beep once these batteries start to go dead.
Replace batteries before each heating season to insure proper operation.
Control Panel Light Battery
LED lights and a 9v battery are used to illuminate the control panel when the concealment cover is lifted. If the LED
lights do not operate, replace the 9v battery (see the illustration below). Velcro is provided to secure the 9v battery.
