7 Let the heater burn for fifteen minutes. Adjust the air shutter, if necessary, to achieve the correct
looking flame (see the illustration below).
• The air shutter adjusts the amount of air that mixes with the gas before it exits the burner holes. It is
used to fine-tune the flame for differences in altitude and vent configuration.
Gas Control Valve
Correct
Flames should be blue at the
base, yellow-orange on the top. If the flames are over 12" tall or sooty on
the ends, push the lever to the right. If the flames are all blue and
short, push the lever to the left.
Not Enough Air Too Much Air
NOTE: If the air control is all the
way open, yet the flames remain
sooty, shut off gas to the appliance
and contact the Travis Dealer for
instructions
NOTE: The logs must be installed correctly to
monitor the flame while adjusting the air shutter.

Control
Loosen the nut on the air shutter
control. Move the control left or right
until the flame looks correct. Pushing
to the right gives the flame more air
(making it bluer). Pushing to the left
cuts air down, making it more orange.

! If the air shutter is in its fully open position, yet the flames remain sooty, shut off gas to the heater and
contact the Travis Dealer for instructions.
! If the vent configuration is installed incorrectly the vent may cause the flames inside the heater to lift or
"ghost" – a dangerous situation. Inspect the flames after installation to insure proper performance. If
the vent configuration is correct, yet the flames are lifting or ghosting, shut off gas to the heater and
contact the dealer for information on remedying the problem.
! This heater has been tested at altitudes up to 8,000 feet. In this testing we have found that the
heater, with its standard orifice, burns correctly with just an air shutter adjustment.
! Failure to properly adjust the air shutter may lead to improper combustion and a
safety hazard. Consult your dealer if you suspect an improperly adjusted air
shutter.
The flames should burn right off
the top of the burner ports (if they
are too blue, adjust the air control). If the flames are lifting, yet the
vent configuration is correct,
contact your dealer.

If the flames are ghosting, yet the
vent configuration is correct,
contact your dealer.
8 Turn the flame adjust knob to its highest position - the flames should be approximately 12" tall. Check
the flame on low position. The flames should burn off of each burner hole. If the heater does not work
correctly, contact the Travis Dealer for instructions.
