It is also affected by the quality and moisture level of the fuel. ** EPA tests to determine BTU output are performed with a single standardized load of dimensional lumber(crib fuel). When burning cord wood, the fireplace will achieve higher BTUs. The BTU output of the fireplace can be higher than the numbers established during EPA testing depending upon the quantity and species of wood being burned. Based on our in-house testing using cord wood, real world BTUs will typically fall between the cord wood numbers listed above.

This flue collar is used when installing an Answer insert into a particularly small fireplace. The replacement collar makes the flue opening flush with the top of the appliance and reduces the minimum fireplace height by 3/4". When using this collar, the insert will fit into a fireplace that has a minimum opening height of 20-1/8". Installation a) Pull the bypass damper all the way out. Unscrew the bypass damper rod from the damper yoke. b) Remove the damper rod from the insert(set aside for reinstallation). c) Lift the yoke out of the cups on the damper slide plate and remove it from the insert through the flue collar. d) The flue collar is secured to the insert by(3) � bolts.

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. An uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature indicates excessive draft. 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. One of the main causes of inadequate draft is negative air pressure in the home. Negative pressure may be caused by environmental conditions such as wind, barometric pressure, or the topography around the home or by mechanical means (e.g., range hood, bathroom fans, clothes dryers, etc.). If outside air is not connected directly to the appliance, make up air should be provided into the room where the appliance is installed to prevent room air starvation or negate the effects of air removal from exhaust fans. Travis Industries cannot be responsible for external forces leading to less-than-optimal performance. Leveling Bolt Installation Two leveling bolts are included ; (with the panel kit)to level the insert if the fireplace has a stepped- /r up hearth. To install, raise the rear of the insert and insert the levelingr bolts into the holes in the rear corners of the insert.

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 additional 45 minutes. This will cure the paint. Door Gasket-The door gasket might adhere to the paint on the front of the heater. Leave the door slightly ajar for the first fire and be careful when opening the door after the first fire. 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. However, due to differences in vent configuration,fuel, and draft,this appliance can be operated at an excessive temperature.

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'/z"to V 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. 0 Travis Industries 4/20/2021 - 1568 Answer NexGen Hybrid 32 Operating • Appliance Optional Blower Operation The blower will turn on once the stove is up to temperature.

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.

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 Error! Bookmark not defined.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 stove in accordance with instructions starting on page Error!

The combustor is housed in a steel frame and is sealed with an Interam gasket. This gasket,when heated, expands and seals the combustor in place. Push on the left and right side edges of the combustor frame so that it slides out evenly(the gasket will deteriorate and fall away as the combustor is dislodged). If the combustor is pushed at a side angle it will lodge in place and not come out. When replacing the combustor, use a new Interam gasket around the perimeter of the combustor. The gasket will expand as the stove is heated. Temperature Probe Replacement The Answer is shipped with the combustor temperature probe held in place with a bend-up clip (used to hold the probe in place during shipping). The pictures below show the top of the stove with the top casting removed. a ,,�m' sad M1t car,/ To remove the probe, bend the clip down and slide the probe out. The probe is shipped with sealing cement around the probe. This cement, over time, will degrade, making removal easier. You can seal this area with furnace cement(or other non-combustible), or you can wedge it into place (this area is small and subject to negative pressure).When replacing the probe, you do not need to bend the clip back (gravity will hold the probe in place). ©Travis Industries 12/5/2024- 1568 Answer NexGen Hybrid Limited 7 Year Warranty 49 Register your TRAVIS INDUSTRIES,INC.Limited 7 Year Warranty online at traviswarrantv.com.
