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
NOTE: If the air shutter is all the way
open, yet the flames remain sooty, shut
off gas to the fireplace and contact a
qualified gas service technician.
Correct
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.
Not Enough Air
If the flames are all blue and
short, close the air shutter.
Too Much Air
NOTE: The logs must be installed correctly to
monitor the flame while adjusting the air shutter.
Air Shutter Control
Pushing to the right gives the flame less air
(making it more orange). Pushing to the
left gives the flame more air, making it
more blue. For fine adjustments use a
screwdriver to tap the air shutter.
ADJUSTING THE AIR SHUTTER
! 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). Lifting flames indicate
insufficient draft (restrictor
is set too high).

Ghosting flames indicate
insufficient air (restrictor set too
high, air shutter shut down, or
other venting error).
Lifting Flames Correct Flames Ghosting Flames Flickering Flames
Flickering, short flames
indicate excessive draft
(move air shutter to a higher
position).
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.
