Drafting Performance
This appliance relies upon natural draft to operate. External forces, such as wind, barometric pressure,
topography, or factors of the home (negative pressure from exhaust fans, chimneys, air infiltration, etc.),
may adversely affect draft. Travis Industries can not be responsible for external forces leading to less
than optimal performance.
Leveling Bolt Installation
Two leveling bolts are included to level the insert if the fireplace has a stepped-up hearth. To install, raise
the rear of the insert up and insert the leveling bolts into the holes in the rear corners of the insert. Adjust
the bolts until they extend the same height as the hearth steps up. After the insert is installed, fine-tune
the leveling bolts to level the insert (see Figure 19).
This distance is the
hearth step-up. The
leveling bolts should
stick out this far from the
base of the insert.
