Fireplace Requirements
The minimum size requirements are shown below.
Mantel Clearances
The maximum mantel depth is 12” (305mm).
NOTE: The combustible area above the non-combustible facing must not protrude more than. 3/4"
(20mm) from the facing. If it does, it is considered a mantel and must meet the mantel
requirements listed in this manual.
Fireplace Altered Tag
Attach the "This fireplace has been altered..." plate to the

fireplace (use two screws or another suitable method). You may
wish to place it in a location where it will be covered by the
surround panels.

Insert Placement Requirements
 The insert must be placed so that no combustibles are within, or can swing within (e.g., drapes,
doors), 36" (915mm) of the front of the insert (see “q” below).
 Insert and hearth must be installed on a level, secure floor.
 The minimum clearances, facing, and hearth requirements shown below must be met.

Masonry Fireplace - Hearth Extension Requirements
 Must extend 16" (407mm) (USA) or 18” (458mm) (Canada) in front of the insert and 8" (204mm) on both
sides.
 Masonry hearth extensions must be non-combustible and at least .018" thick (26gauge).
Masonry Fireplace Requirements
 The entire fireplace, including the chimney, must be clean and undamaged. Any damage must be repaired
prior to the installation of the insert.
 Chimney height: 15' (4.5M) minimum; 33' (10M) maximum (measured from the base of insert).
 The fireplace insert must be placed on a masonry hearth built to UBC standards.
Mantel Requirements
 See minimum mantel clearances below.

Drafting Performance
Draft is the force that moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your
chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions, and other factors.
Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the appliance and may damage the heater.
Inadequate draft may cause back puffing into the room and `plugging' of the chimney. Inadequate draft
will cause the appliance to leak smoke into the room through the appliance and chimney connector joints.
An uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature indicates excessive draft.
Insert Rollers
Two rollers are built into the back edge of the insert. This
allows the insert to be rolled into position by lifting the front
of the insert and pushing it into.
Leveling Bolt Installation

MASONRY NOTE: Place a metal plate
below the bolts on masonry fireplaces to
prevent damage to the floor brick.
Two leveling bolts are pre-installed on the
insert to allow for proper leveling within the
fireplace. To access the bolts, remove the
back corner firebricks and cover plates “a”
and “b”). The bolts are pre-threaded to a
weld-nut on the base of the insert. Use a
3/4” socket wrench to screw the bolts down
(clockwise) until the insert is level (see “c”).
SEALING THE COVER PLATE: We
recommend sealing the cover plate with
furnace cement (place on the underside of
the cover plate).
BOLT LENGTH: The included bolts allow
approximately 1” of rise. If additional rise is
required, use a longer 1/2-13 thread bolt.
Make sure the additional bolt length does
not interfere with the cover plate.

Flue Installation
INTEGRITY™ Super Stove Starter

Sealing the Flue to the Insert

The flue connection is vitally important. To ensure proper draft, and to prevent smoke spillage during re-
loading. It is crucial for the flue to be sealed with fireplace cement. If an adapter is used, both joints
to the liner and the insert should be sealed. Use a generous amount of fireplace cement at every
connection (where the flue connects to the insert and at every joint).
In addition, we recommend using non-combustible fiberglass insulation to seal the fireplace enclosure.
By sealing the top and bottom of the chimney, and the surround panels, you will be ensuring outside air is
not pulled into the chimney.

Operating Your Appliance 15
Safety Notice
If this appliance is not properly installed, a house fire may result. For your safety, follow the installation
directions. Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation inspection
requirements in your area.
Read and follow all of the warnings on pages 4 and 5 of this manual.
Before Your First Fire

Verify the Installation
Before starting the stove, verify that the stove is properly installed and all of the requirements in this
manual have been followed.
Keep all flammable materials 36" away from the front of the stove (drapes, furniture, clothing, etc.).
Curing the Paint 2 to 4 hours

Follow the steps below to cure the paint (first fire):
a) Open doors and windows in the room to ventilate the heater during the
curing process.
b) Vacate the room. The fumes from the initial heating process are non-toxic
but may be unpleasant.
c) Slowly bring the heater to a medium burn (400°F/204°C) for 45 minutes.
Then increase the burn temperature to a hot burn (600°F/315°C) for an IDB1135
additional 45 minutes. This will cure the paint.
Door Gasket - The door gasket can adhere to the paint on the front of the
heater. To prevent this, carefully open and close the door a few times during
the paint curing process.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) Emissions
Smoke from wood heaters contains CO. This gas is an indication of incomplete combustion and is
detrimental to the environment and your health. The more visible the smoke, the higher the CO levels.
Burning dry wood is the most significant step you can take to reduce CO emissions. It is also important to
understand the combustion process so you can burn your heater efficiently. Read the manual thoroughly
so that you can operate your heater in the most efficient and clean manner possible.
Over-Firing the Stove
DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS HEATER: Attempts to achieve heat output rates that exceed heater design
specifications can result in permanent damage to the heater.
This stove was designed to operate at a high temperature. But due to differences in vent configuration,
fuel, and draft, this appliance can be operated at an excessive temperature. If the stove top or other area
starts to glow red, you are over-firing the stove. Shut the air control down to low and allow the stove to
cool before proceeding.
Over-firing may lead to damage to plated surfaces. If any portion of the heater glows red, it is
considered over-firing and will void the warranty.

16 Operating Your Appliance
Opening the Door
The door becomes hot during use - use gloves or a tool to prevent burns.
To prevent smoke from entering the room, open the air control and bypass before opening the door.
You can also open the door a small amount and let air enter the firebox.
Opening the Door

Bypass Operation
The bypass control becomes hot during operation - use gloves or a tool to prevent burns.
The bypass controls the flow of smoke inside the heater. When pulled out, smoke goes directly up the
flue, creating more draft. When pushed in, the smoke goes around the baffle, utilizing the secondary
combustion and making the heater more efficient.
 When starting or re-loading, pull the bypass out, if necessary.
 During normal operation, push the bypass in.

Maintaining Combustor Burn-Off
WARNING:
The bypass control becomes hot
during operation - use gloves or a
tool to prevent burns.
This stove uses a combustor to

increase heat transfer to the room
and reduce emissions.
Follow the directions below to utilize the combustor to its fullest potential.
• Keep the by-pass open (pulled out) until the stove becomes hot (approximately 15 to 30 minutes).
• Close the bypass (push in) when the stove is hot.
• Keep the bypass closed (pushed in) while the stove is operating, except when reloading.
How to Check if your Combustor is Working

A combustor temperature probe is included with the Press this
fireplace to monitor the combustor. After the bypass is ON/HOLD
engaged, the combustor temperature should rise, button to view
showing combustor operation. Combustor temperatures the temperature.
over 500° F (260° C) indicate the combustor is working
and igniting unburnt fuel.
The combustor can also be viewed through the glass
from below. You will notice the combustor glowing red
when the combustor is working effectively.

Before Starting a Fire
 Make sure the air control is pushed in. If additional air is needed, open the doors 1/4" during the first
five minutes of start-up.
The bypass control becomes hot during operation - use gloves or a tool to prevent burns.
Do not use colored paper or any material other than newspaper and cordwood to start a fire. This may
damage the combustor.
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start
or "freshen up" a fire in this stove. Keep all such liquids well away from the stove while it is in use.
DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START THE FIRE. DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR
FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA, OR ENGINE OIL. Do not place such fuel
within space heater installation clearances or within the space required for charging and ash removal.
If using a fire starter, use only products specifically designed for stoves - follow the manufacturer's
instructions carefully.
HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING, AND

FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
If the smoke does not pass up the chimney, ball up one sheet of
newspaper, place it in the center of the firebox, and light it. This should
start the chimney drafting (this eliminates "cold air blockage").
Use plenty of kindling to ensure the stove reaches a proper temperature.

Once the kindling is burning rapidly, place a few larger pieces of wood
onto the fire.
An optional GreenStart™ ignitor is available from Travis Industries for this insert. Ask your local
retailer for details.

Adjusting the Burn Rate
Use the air control slider to control the burn rate of the stove. See the illustration below for details.
Approximate Air Control Settings:

The settings listed below are the air control settings as performed for the EPA testing. Real-world
conditions such as chimney height and outdoor temperatures may cause these settings to vary. Use the
settings below to get close and then fine-tune the setting as needed to achieve the desired performance
from the stove.
High Burn: Fully pushed in

Medium-High Burn: 3/8” from fully pulled out
Medium-Low Burn: 1/8” from fully pulled out
Low Burn: Closed - fully pulled out
The air control may become hot during operation - use gloves or a tool to prevent burns.
The air control may take several minutes to influence the burn rate. When making adjustments,
you may wish to let the stove burn for 10 minutes to gauge performance.

Understanding Your Heater’s Combustion System
Primary Combustion: This is the combustion (fire) that takes place directly on the wood. Primary combustion
determines how fast the fire burns. Air for primary combustion is supplied through the air control. When you adjust the
air control you control the amount of air that reaches the fire and creates primary combustion. The air control supplies
air to the air wash (the air holes above the door opening – used to help clean the glass) and through the pilot orifice
(center bottom of the door opening). By using the air control, and supplying air through these two openings, you control
primary combustion.
Secondary Combustion: Secondary & Catalytic Combustion: This is the combustion (fire) that does not contact the
wood. Secondary combustion burns the visible emissions or smoke that is not consumed during primary combustion. It
takes place at the top of the firebox and can appear as a glowing flame near the secondary air tubes. Catalytic
combustion takes place inside the catalytic combustor and is not viewable (you may, however, see the combustor
glow). It also burns the visible emissions or smoke that is not consumed during primary combustion. Catalytic
combustion can be monitored by using the included temperature meter. Your catalytic combustor is working when the
output temperature is above 500° F. (260°C).
Items to Consider:
 During medium and high burn rates the stove will manage secondary and primary combustion on its own. When the
heater is set to a low burn rate more care is needed to ensure the secondary combustion system works properly. Make
sure the stove is hot and a good coal bed is established before adjusting your heater to low burn.
 Understanding the combustion system in this heater will help minimize the visible emissions this heater releases into
the environment. The primary pilot orifice at the center bottom of the door opening is designed to help the secondary
combustion at low burn settings. The pilot provides a small amount of air that burns up through the fuel load providing
the heat and flame needed for the secondary system to ignite. The air tubes under the baffle need to remain ignited for
low burns to be effective.
 As you load your heater for a low burn, take care in placing the wood. This will affect how well your secondary system
works as the wood is consumed. Do not block the pilot orifice. Stack wood so the pilot air can burn its way up between
the pieces, helping your heater burn effectively throughout the low fire. This will reduce the visible emissions your
heater produces and increase the amount of heat you get from the wood. If you are unsure how well your heater is
burning, look at the chimney cap to monitor visible emissions.
Burning Your Heater

Starting a Fire: Make sure your air control is all the way open and the by-pass is in the open position. To reduce the
amount of smoke when starting your fire, the “Top Down” method described below allows for the cleanest starts. Start
with 2 large pieces of kindling 1”- 2” in diameter laid side to side on the firebox floor, a small amount of paper may be
placed between these. Using small 1/2” to 1” diameter split kindling, 3- 4 layers in a crisscross pattern using 5 to 6
pieces per layer. Place 2 or 3 layers of larger kindling on the very top and light the middle of the stack. Shut the by-pass
after the fire is established and the door in 2-3 minutes. If the fire starts to die down, reopen the by-pass and door and
leave it cracked open until the fire recovers and becomes established. Never leave your heater unattended if the door is
not latched shut. Reload the stove when the kindling pile has burned about three-quarters of the way through with 16”
medium sized pieces of cordwood. Place a layer of 2 pieces orientated side to side on the coal bed and 3 pieces on the
top, oriented front to back. A hot coal bed is critical to clean combustion of the fuel. We cannot overstate the importance
of a hot coal bed before slowing down the burn rate by adjusting the air control. Burn the first full load of cordwood
completely through at the high burn rate to get our heater up to a good operating temperature and to establish a deep
coal bed before reloading and adjusting the burn rate.
Reloading: When reloading a hot heater set the burn rate on high for at least 15 min before slowing it down.
Low Burn: If preparing for an overnight or low burn a longer heat up period may be necessary. Reload the
heater full of wood, 4 large pieces loaded front to back on the coal bed and 2 large pieces loaded side to side
on top making sure there are air gaps between the middle to bottom pieces and the top 2 pieces so the pilot air
can burn up through the middle load keeping the secondary combustion system hot and active throughout the
burn. After loading, burn the heater on high for at least 15 minutes before setting the air control to low.
Excessive creosote buildup (or sooting) in the heater at the end of a low burn signifies that the heater was not
hot enough and the wood load was not burned long enough on high after loading before shutting down the air
control.

Blower Operation
The blower will turn on once the stove is up to temperature. This is typically 15 to 30 minutes after
starting the fire. Follow the directions below to alter the blower speed
The blower rheostat dial may look different. It does operate in the same fashion.
The blower may be used to affect heat output (i.e.: to reduce heat output, turn the blower down).
Route the power cord in a location where it will not come in contact with the appliance or become hot.
Re-Loading the Stove

Use gloves when reloading wood.
Follow the directions below to minimize smoke spillage while re-loading the stove.
1. Open the air control all the way (push it in).
2. Open the bypass all the way (pull it out).
3. Open the door slightly. Let the airflow inside the firebox stabilize before opening the doors fully.
4. Load wood onto the fire.
Overnight Burn
1. Follow the steps below to achieve an overnight burn.
2. Move the air control to high burn and let the stove become hot (burn for approximately 15 minutes).
3. Load as much wood as possible. Use large pieces if possible.
4. Let the stove burn on high for 15 minutes to keep the stove hot, and then turn the air control to low.
5. In the morning the stove should still be hot, with embers in the coal bed. Stir the coals and load small
pieces of wood to re-ignite the fire, if desired.
Differences in chimney height and draft may lower overall burn times.
Normal Operating Sounds

Hints for Burning
 Get the appliance hot before adjusting to low burn
 Use smaller pieces of wood during start-up and high burns to increase the temperature
 Use larger pieces of wood for overnight or sustained burns
 Stack the wood tightly together to establish a longer burn
 Be considerate of neighbors & the environment: burn dry wood only
 Burn small, intense fires instead of large, slow burning fires when possible
 Learn your appliance's operating characteristics to obtain optimum performance
Selecting Wood
 Dry Wood is Key – moisture
content should be 15-20% for best
results.
 Dry wood burns hot, emits less
smoke, and creates less creosote.
 Testing Wood Moisture.
 Split wood stored in a dry area will
be fully dry within a year. This
ensures dry wood. If purchasing
wood for immediate use, test the
wood with a moisture meter. Some
experienced wood burners can
measure wood moisture by
knocking pieces together and
listening for a clear "knock" and not
a "thud".
Why Dry Wood is Key
Wet wood, when burned, must release water stored within the wood. This cools the fire, creates
creosote, and hampers a complete burn. Ask any experienced wood burner and he or she will agree dry
wood is crucial to good performance.
Wood Cutting and Storage

Do Not Burn List
This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efficiencies and lower
emissions generally result when burning air-dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to
softwoods or green or freshly cut hardwoods.
DO NOT BURN:
 Garbage
 Lawn clippings or yard waste
 Materials containing rubber, including tires
 Materials containing plastic
 Waste petroleum products, paints or paint thinners, or asphalt products
 Materials containing asbestos
 Construction or demolition debris
 Railroad ties or pressure-treated wood
 Manure or animal remains
 Saltwater driftwood or other previously saltwater saturated materials
 Unseasoned, “Green” or wet wood
 Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or particleboard. *
*The prohibition against burning these materials does not prohibit the use of fire
starters made from paper, cardboard, sawdust, wax, and similar substances for
the purpose of starting a fire in an affected wood heater
Burning these materials may result in the release of toxic fumes or render the
heater ineffective and cause smoke.

Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause
Smoke Enters Room During  Open the bypass (pg. 17).
Start-Up  Open the air control (pg. 20).
 Cold Air Blockage - burn a piece of newspaper to
establish a draft.
 If the flame is not getting enough air, a small crack in
the door is all that is needed.
Kindling Does Not Start - Fire  Open the bypass (pg. 17).
Smolders  Open the air control (pg. 20).
 Not enough starter paper - use additional newspaper if
necessary.
 If the flame is not getting enough air, a small crack in
the door is all that is needed.
Smoke Enters Room While Re-  Open the bypass before opening the door (pg. 17).
Loading  Open the air control before opening the door (pg. 20).
 Let the air stabilize before fully opening the door.
Then open the door approximately 1 inch. Let air go
into the firebox for a few seconds. Once the smoke
appears to be flowing up the chimney consistently,
open the door.
 Insufficient Draft - Chimney height and outside
conditions can negatively affect draft. In these cases,
a small amount of smoke may enter the home. Adding
more piping or a draft-inducing cap may help.
 Chimney liner joints are not properly sealed at the
insert connection.
Stove Does Not Burn Hot Enough  Wood is Wet - see the section "Selecting Wood" on
page 23 for details on wood.
 Make sure the air control is all the way open. Slide the
control back and forth to ensure the control is not
stuck.
 Insufficient Draft - Chimney height and outside
conditions can negatively affect draft. In these cases,
the fire may burn slowly. Adding more piping or a
draft-inducing cap may help.
Blower Does Not Run  The stove is Not Up to Temperature - This is normal.
The blower will come on when the stove is hot -
usually 15 to 30 minutes.
 Electricity Is Cut to the Blower - Check the household
breaker or fuse to make sure it is operable.
Stove Does Not Burn Long  Depending upon the wood, draft, and other factors, the
Enough burn time may be shorter than stated. Make sure the
doors are sealing and not allowing air into the firebox -
See the section "Door and Glass Inspection" on page
27 for details.
 Check the ash bed for coals. Often, coals are still
glowing under a slight bed of flyash. By raking these
into a pile you can re-start your stove quickly.

26 Maintaining Your Appliance
Must replace components with equipment equivalent to the original or approved by the manufacturer.
Failure to properly maintain and inspect your appliance may reduce the performance and life of the
appliance, void your warranty, and create a fire hazard.
Establish a routine for the fuel, wood burner, and firing technique. Check daily for creosote build-up until
experience shows how often you need to clean to be safe. Be aware that the hotter the fire the less
creosote is deposited, and weekly cleaning may be necessary in mild weather even though monthly
cleaning may be enough in the coldest months. Contact your local municipal or provincial fire authority
for information on how to handle a chimney fire. Have a clearly understood plan to handle a chimney
fire.
Daily Maintenance (while insert is in use)

Remove Ash (if necessary)
Whenever ashes get 3 to 4 inches deep in your firebox or ash pan, and when the fire has
burned down and cooled, remove excess ashes. Leave an ash bed approximately 1 inch
deep on the firebox bottom to help maintain a hot charcoal bed. Let the stove cool completely
before removing ashes (wait at least two hours after the last coal has been extinguished).
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ASHES
ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or the ground, away from all combustible
materials, pending final disposal. The ashes should be retained in the closed container until
all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
 Ash removal is not required after every fire. 1/2" to 1" of ash may be desirable because it
slows the burn rate. Generally, remove ash once it has built up over 1". Follow the
directions below to remove ash.
Improperly disposed of ashes lead to fires. Hot ashes placed in cardboard boxes, dumped in
backyards, or stored in garages, are recipes for disaster.
Wood-burning stoves are inherently dirty. During cleaning have a vacuum ready to catch spilled ash
(make sure ash is entirely extinguished).
There are vacuum cleaners specifically made to remove ash (even if the ash is warm). Contact your
dealer for details.
Clean the Glass (if necessary)

This appliance has an air wash to keep the
glass clean. However, burning
unseasoned wood or burning at lower burn
rates leads to dirtier glass (especially on
the sides). Do not clean glass with
abrasive cleaners. Allow the stove to fully
cool before cleaning.
Apply glass cleaner or soapy water to the
inside of the glass. Wipe with some
newspaper or a paper towel to clean. For
stubborn creosote, dip a moist paper towel
or newspaper in cold ash before cleaning.
The ash acts as a mild abrasive.
The glass will develop a very slight haze over time. This is normal and will not affect the viewing of the
fire.

Maintaining Your Appliance 27
Monthly Maintenance (while appliance is in use)
Make sure the appliance has fully cooled prior to conducting service.
Door and Glass Inspection
The door can be lifted off the hinges if extensive repairs are conducted.
The door must form a seal to the firebox for the stove to work correctly. Inspect the door gasket as shown
below.
Door Latch Adjustment

The door latch should pull the door against the face of the stove (but not so tight as to not allow full
handle rotation). If the latch requires adjustment, follow the directions below.
Remove the face. Loosen the bottom nut

with a 7/16” wrench (see arrow to the right).
Tap the bottom nut inwards, moving the door
catch inwards. Tighten the nut and test the
operation. You may need to repeat this
process, either moving the nut inwards or Door Handle
outwards until the door catch is in the correct
position.
Creosote - Formation and Need for Removal

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled
moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-
burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote
makes an extremely hot fire. The chimney and chimney connector should be inspected at least once
every two months during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote
has accumulated 1/8” (3mm), it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
If you are not certain of creosote inspection, contact your dealer or local chimney sweep for a full
inspection. Excess creosote buildup may cause a chimney fire that may result in property damage,
injury, or death.
Operating this appliance continually at a low burn rate (air starvation) or using green (unseasoned)
wood will increase the formation of creosote.

Yearly Maintenance
Make sure the appliance has fully cooled prior to conducting service.
Touch-Up Paint
Included with the owner's pack of this appliance is a can of Stove-Brite®
paint. To touch up nicks or dulled paint, apply the paint while the appliance is
cool. Sand rusted or damaged areas before preparation (use 120-grit
sandpaper). Clean and dry the area to prepare the surface. Wait at least one Touch-Up
hour before starting the appliance. The touched-up area will appear darker Paint
than the surrounding paint until it cures from heat. The paint will give off
some fumes while curing – open windows to ventilate.
Cleaning the Air Duct and Blower (if applicable)

Use a vacuum to clean the air ducts (channels). This prevents dust from burning and creating odors.
The blower should be vacuumed every year to remove any buildup of dust, lint, etc.

Cleaning the Combustor
Your combustor is available through an authorized Travis dealer. You can visually check the condition of
your combustor by opening the door and looking above the baffle with a flashlight. If there is visible ash
accumulation on the surface of your combustor it should be cleaned off with a soft-bristled brush. If there
is visible creosote buildup (tar substance) on the combustor, burn your stove on high and the creosote
should burn off. If the creosote does not burn off your combustor needs to be replaced. If the stove emits
excessive smoke on medium and high burns your combustor may need replacement.
NOTE: Use an ash vacuum with a brush attachment to clean the combustor.
1. With the stove fully cooled, insert the ash vacuum nozzle into the area directly inside and above the
door opening.
2. Carefully place the brush surface of the nozzle over the combustor openings and remove any ash or
debris. Take care to prevent damage to the combustor (the surface is fragile).

Combustor Inspection
It is important to periodically monitor the operation of the catalytic combustor to ensure that it is
functioning properly and to determine when it needs to be replaced. A non-functioning combustor will
result in a loss of heating efficiency and an increase in creosote and emissions. Following is a list of items
that should be checked periodically:
 Combustors should be visually inspected at least three times during the heating season to
determine if physical degradation has occurred (e.g., catalyst peeling, plugging, thermal cracking,
mechanical cracking, or masking (becoming coated with fly ash or soot) (see pictures at bottom of
page). The actual removal of the combustor is not recommended unless a more detailed
inspection is warranted because of decreased performance.
 This heater is equipped with a temperature probe to monitor catalyst operation. Properly
functioning combustors typically maintain temperatures in excess of 500 °F and often reach
temperatures in excess of 1,000 °F (see page 18 for further details).
 You can get an indication of whether the catalyst is working by comparing the amount of smoke
leaving the chimney when the smoke is going through the combustor and catalyst light-off has
been achieved, to the amount of smoke leaving the chimney when the smoke is not routed
through the combustor (bypass mode).
 Step 1 - Light insert in accordance with instructions starting on page 19.
 Step 2 - With smoke routed through the catalyst, go outside and observe the emissions
leaving the chimney.
 Step 3 - Engage the bypass mechanism and again observe the emissions leaving the
chimney. Significantly more smoke will be seen when the exhaust is not routed through
the combustor (bypass mode).
Example of combustor Thermal Cracking
Example of combustor Masking

Baffle Removal & Replacement
 Lift the catalytic retainer out of its slot on the baffle plate.
 Open the bypass by pulling the extension rod all the way outward.
 Reach up through the bypass and push the combustor forward until there is enough to grasp. Pull
the combustor the rest of the way forward and remove it from the stove.
NOTE: Be very gentle with the combustor, it is fragile after being exposed to heat.
 Unscrew the extension rod from the yoke and remove it from the stove.
 Lift the yoke out of the slide plate cups and remove it from the stove.
 Remove the slide plate from the top of the baffle.
 There are (2) tabs that keep the baffle plate in place near the rear of the firebox. Push up on the
baffle plate until it is clear of the tabs. Push one side of the baffle plate up and let the other down
past the air manifold until the plate is diagonal in the firebox. Guide the plate out of the stove.
 Follow these steps in reverse to reinstall the baffle.
NOTE: You will need to replace the gasket on the catalytic combustor when reinstalling it.

Replacing the Glass

The glass must not contact the door retainer or glass clips directly. The glass gasket and glass clip
gaskets insulate the glass to prevent cracking. Do not over-tighten the glass clips. Use only 5mm thick
neo-ceramic glass.
Lay the glass gasket in the doorframe (cut off excess gasket). Place the glass on the gasket. Secure the
glass clips to hold the glass in place (make sure the glass clip gaskets are in place).
Replacing the Door Gasket
The door gasket inserts into the outer groove of the door retainer. Stove gasket cement holds it in place.
Before installing, remove any residual cement. Lay the gasket in place (start at the lower-left corner) and
cut off any excess gasket (do not stretch the gasket. The cement fully cures with heat from the stove.
You may need to open and close the door repeatedly to get the gasket to seat fully.
