SAFETY INFORMATION FOR USERS OF LP-GAS

Propane (LP-Gas) is a ﬂammable gas which can cause ﬁres and explosions. In its natural state, propane is odorless and colorless. You may not know all the following safety precautions which can protect both you and your family from an accident. Read them carefully now, then review them point by point with the mem-

LP-GAS WARNING ODOR

If a gas leak happens, you should be able to smell the gas because of the odorant put in the LP-Gas.

That’s your signal to go into immediate action!

• Do not operate electric switches, light matches, use your phone. Do not do anything that could ignite the gas.

• Get everyone out of the building, vehicle, trailer, or area. Do that IMMEDIATELY.

• Close all gas tank or cylinder supply valves.

• LP-Gas is heavier than air and may settle in low areas such as basements. When you have reason to suspect a gas leak, keep out of basements and other low areas. Stay out until ﬁreﬁghters declare them to be safe.

NO ODOR DETECTED - ODOR FADE

Some people cannot smell well. Some people cannot smell the odor of the chemical put into the gas. You must ﬁnd out if you can smell the odorant in propane. Smoking can decrease your ability to smell. Being around an odor for a time can affect your sensitivity or ability to detect that odor. Sometimes other odors in the area mask the gas odor. People may not smell the gas odor or their minds are on something else. Thinking about smelling a gas odor can make it easier to smell.

The odorant in LP-gas is colorless, and it can fade under some circumstances. For example, if there is an underground leak, the movement of the gas through soil can ﬁlter the odorant. Odorants

bers of your household. Someday, there may not be a minute to lose, everyone’s safety will depend on knowing exactly what to do. If, after reading the following information, you feel you still need more information, please contact your gas supplier.

• Use your neighbor’s phone and call a trained LP-Gas ser vice person and the ﬁre department. Even though you may not continue to smell gas, do not turn on the gas again. Do not re-enter the building, vehicle, trailer, or area.

• Finally, let the service man and ﬁreﬁghters check for escaped gas. Have them air out the area before you return. Properly trained LP-Gas service people should repair the leak, then check and relight the gas appliance for you.

in LP-Gas also are subject to oxidation. This fading can occur if there is rust inside the storage tank or in iron gas pipes.

The odorant in escaped gas can adsorb or absorb onto or into walls, masonry and other materials and fabrics in a room. That will take some of the odorant out of the gas, reducing its odor intensity.

LP-Gas may stratify in a closed area, and the odor intensity could vary at different levels. Since it is heavier than air, there may be more odor at lower levels. Always be sensitive to the slightest gas odor. If you detect any odor, treat it as a serious leak. Imme diately go into action as instructed earlier.

• Learn to recognize the odor of LP-gas. Your local LP-Gas Dealer can give you a “Scratch and Sniff” pamphlet. Use it to ﬁnd out what the propane odor smells like. If you suspect that your LP-Gas has a weak or abnormal odor, call your LP-Gas Dealer.

• If you are not qualiﬁed, do not light pilot lights, perform service, or make adjustments to appliances on the LP-Gas system. If you are qualiﬁed, consciously think about the odor of LP-Gas prior to and while lighting pilot lights or performing service or making adjustments.

• Sometimes a basement or a closed-up house has a musty smell that can cover up the LP-Gas odor. Do not try to light pilot lights, perform service, or make adjustments in an area where the conditions are such that you may not detect the odor if there has been a leak of LP-Gas.

• Odor fade, due to oxidation by rust or adsorption on walls of new cylinders and tanks, is possible. Therefore, people should be particularly alert and careful when new tanks or cylinders are placed in service. Odor fade can occur in new tanks, or reinstalled old tanks, if they are ﬁlled and allowed

SOME POINTS TO REMEMBER

to set too long before reﬁlling. Cylinders and tanks which have been out of service for a time may develop internal rust which will cause odor fade. If such conditions are suspected to exist, a periodic sniff test of the gas is advisable. If you have any question about the gas odor, call your LP-gas dealer. A periodic sniff test of the LP-gas is a good safety measure under any condition.

• If, at any time, you do not smell the LP-Gas odorant and you think you should, assume you have a leak. Then take the same immediate action recommended above for the occasion when you do detect the odorized LP-Gas.

• If you experience a complete “gas out,” (the container is under no vapor pressure), turn the tank valve off immediately. If the container valve is left on, the container may draw in some air through openings such as pilot light oriﬁces. If this occurs, some new internal rusting could occur. If the valve is left open, then treat the container as a new tank. Always be sure your container is under vapor pressure by turning it off at the container before it goes completely empty or having it reﬁlled before it is completely empty.

Installing a New Main Gas Cock

Each appliance should have its own manual gas cock.

A manual main gas cock should be located in the vicinity of the unit. Where none exists, or where its size or location is not ad equate, contact your local authorized installer for installation or relocation.

Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping shall be resistant to the action of liqueﬁed petroleum gases. The gas lines must be checked for leaks by the installer. This should be done with a soap solution watching for bubbles on all exposed connections, and if unexposed, a pressure test should be made.

Never use an exposed ﬂame to check for leaks. Appliance must be disconnected from piping at inlet of control valve and pipe capped or plugged for pressure test. Never pressure test with appliance connected; control valve will sustain damage!

A gas valve and ground joint union should be installed in the gas line upstream of the gas control to aid in servicing. It is required by the National Fuel Gas Code that a drip line be installed near the gas inlet. This should consist of a vertical length of pipe tee connected into the gas line that is capped on the bottom in which condensation and foreign particles may collect.

Pressure Testing of the Gas Supply System

1. To check the inlet pressure to the gas valve, a 1/8" (3mm) N.P.T.

plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge connection, must be placed immediately upstream of the gas supply connection to the appliance.

2. The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be

disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

3. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping

system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

Attention! If one of the procedures results in pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (14" w.c.) (3.5 kPa) on the ﬁreplace gas valve, it will result in a hazardous condition.

Checking Manifold Pressure

Both Propane and Natural gas valves have a built-in pressure regulator in the gas valve. Natural gas models will have a manifold pressure of approximately 3.5" w.c. (.872kPa) at the valve outlet with the inlet pressure to the valve from a minimum of 5.0" w.c. (1.245kPa) for the purpose of input adjustment to a maximum of

10.5" w.c. (2.614kPa) Propane gas models will have a manifold

pressure approximately 10.0" w.c. (2.49kPa) at the valve outlet with the inlet pressure to the valve from a minimum of 11.0" w.c. (2.739kPa) for the purpose of input adjustment to a maximum of

13.0" w.c. (3.237kPa).

A 1/8" (3mm) N.P.T. plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge connection, is located on the outlet side of the gas control.

Special Note: The vent terminal 90° elbow and ﬁrst 90° elbow off back of the heater, when within 6” (15.2cm), do not contrib ute to the overall vent length measurement. For each 45° elbow installed in the horizontal run, the length of the horizontal run MUST be reduced by 1.5 feet (45cm). This does not apply if the 45° elbows are installed on the vertical part of the vent system. Reduce the length of the horizontal run 3 feet (91.4cm) for every 90° elbow.

Note: On horizontal runs, a P.V.C. support clamp needs to be installed every 3 feet. No “sags” in horizontal vent runs; water will settle

in the pipe.

When installing a single ﬂue horizontal, the minimum vent length protruding from the outside wall is 6” (15.2cm). See Figure 17.

Minimum vent from the rear of the unit is 12”.

Note: Horizontal discharge 90° elbow must be pointed downward. See Figure 18. All horizontal runs require either a 1/4” per foot rise to run condensation back to the heater, or a 1/4” per foot downward slope to run condensation away from the heater.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

FRONT BURNER SWITCH

REAR BURNER SWITCH

THERMOSTAT DISPLAY MODE BUTTON

C D

1. Main Electrical power supply must always be switched on to the unit with the two burner switches in the off position (up) before lighting the heater.

2. Turn on main gas supply.

3. Verify that main electrical supply is switched on by checking the 115V AC power status display (Figures 40 and 41) indica tor is on.

4. Burner selection: select low burn (front burner), medium burn (rear burner), or high burn (both burners). Low burn switch (Figure 41) controls the front burner only. Medium burn switch (Figure 42) controls the rear burner only. When both switches are down, they will activate both the low and medium burners, which is the high setting.

5. Heater operating LED sequence (Front Display Panel). Be fore starting ensure that the power L.E.D (Figure 43A) is on and burner switches are off. Switch on the heater by engaging the low and medium burner switch, this will activate the pressure switch and the exhaust fan L.E.D (Figure 43E) will be on. Also the two burner L.E.D’s (Figure 43C and 43D) will start ﬂashing for 35 seconds prior to ignition. Once both burners have ignited, the burner L.E.D’s will remain on. If you can’t see ﬂame on the rear burner, but the burner L.E.D is on, then there will be ﬂame there which will become more visible as the heater warms up. Once the heater warms up the low speed L.E.D (Figure 43F) will light and the convection fan will blow warm air from the heater. As

the heater becomes warmer, the medium L.E.D (Figure 43G) will come on. When the heater has reached its highest operating temperature, all three L.E.D’s will light up and the convection fan will now be running at its high speed. Refer to page 38 - Fan Operation. When the heater has been running for some time, the water pump L.E.D (Figure 43B) may

come on to signal that the pump has been activated. Refer to page 41 - Automatic Humidiﬁer Operation.

Note: Three heat settings are available for operating your Mantis

heater - low, medium and high.

a. Low setting (front burner only) - engage low burn switch

only (Figure 41)

b. Medium setting (rear burner only) - engage medium

burner switch only (Figure 42)

c. High setting (front and rear burners).

FAN OPERATION

The 3-speed main convection fan will automatically start approximately 3 to 5 minutes after the heater has warmed up.

Note: The 3-speed main convection fan is automatically controlled and will operate on three preset speeds. Depending on your burner setting and the surrounding ambient temperature, the L.E.D lights (Page 36, Figure 43) for the fan will light up. The bottom L.E.D light (Figure 43F) is low speed setting, and middle L.E.D lights (Figure 43G) is the medium speed setting, the bottom, middle and top L.E.D lights (Figure 43H) is the high-speed setting (both burners on).

Note: The fan will operate totally independent of burner setting - it is controlled by temperature only.

a. Front burner only - low fan speed b. Rear burner only - medium fan speed c. Both front and rear burners - high fan speed

On changing the burner setting from high to medium, or from high to low, there will be a delay on the operating speed of the fan until the ﬁrebox has cooled down sufﬁciently for the fan to change speed.

Note: It can take up to approximately 20-30 minutes before the fan speed will change and settle on the next setting. The ﬁrebox temperature and the outside ambient temperature will regulate how quickly the fan responds to speed changes.

AUTOMATIC HUMIDIFIER OPERATION

Most gas heaters dry out the air in the room. The Mantis has ingeniously solved this problem with an Automatic Humidiﬁer. Gas contains moisture which is normally expelled out the ﬂue or chimney after combustion. But the Mantis is so efﬁcient by taking 92% of the heat out of the burnt gases that the moisture drops out and condenses in the back of the heater. This water is collected in a tank which is then pumped up to a stainless steel condensate tray, where it evaporates in the stream of hot air which is blowing into your home. Air humidity is automatically restored!

Figure 48

1. The amount of condensate build up in the water sump is dependent on outside temperature, length and height of the ﬂue pipe. The automatic humidiﬁer can operate from approximately 10 minute to 6 hour intervals, depending on ambient temperature, style and type of ﬂue. Long single vertical ﬂues can cause the humidiﬁer to come on more often depending on heater settings.

2. When the automatic humidiﬁer is engaged and is transferring the condensate into the holding tank, a hissing sound may be notice able. This occurs when the condensate enters the holding tank and is quite normal. The duration of the sound may vary from 3 to 30 seconds until the holding tank has been ﬁlled with the condensate.

3. When the automatic humidiﬁer pump comes on to pump condensate into the stainless steal tray (located on the top of the heater), the L.E.D. light (Page 36, Figure 43B) on the front panel will light up and ﬂash while the condensate pump is operating, and then extinguish after the pump has stopped operating. This means water has been pumped into the tank, and the automatic humidiﬁer operation will begin.

Set thermostat using the instructions provided with the thermostat. Note: When the heater or the Remote Control will not be used for long periods the burner switches should be in the OFF position, also in summer the heater should be turned off at the power point.

Economy Display Mode

Economy Display Mode (Red Button Operation): The red button above the two burner switches (ﬁgure 52) is called the economy display mode and will only function when a Controller has been installed in the heater. The most common way to use this button is to set the controller to Thermo mode with a desired temperature set for the heater to turn on and off, which is dependant on the ambient temperature, location and the area the appliance is positioned. When using a controller both burner switches need to be in the ON position. When the red button is pressed with both burner switches on, the front burner only will ignite or if already alight, it will now remain on regardless of what function or temperature is set on the Remote Control. The red button acts as an override switch for the front burner only.

In this situation only the back burner will turn on and off according to the setting on the Remote Control. By running the heater this way you will use less gas and still have the aesthetic effect of the front burner. However, if the appliance is in a small area, this setting may get to warm for you. To change the setting, press the red button so that it is not illuminated and the heater will revert back to its normal operation.

Note: When the heater or the Remote Control will not be used for long periods the burner switches should be in the OFF position, also in summer the heater should be turned off at the power point.

The appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1, if an external electrical source is utilized.

This appliance is equipped with a three-prong [grounding] plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug. For an ungrounded receptacle, an adapter, which has two

prongs and a wire for grounding, can be purchased, plugged into the ungrounded receptacle and its wire connected to the receptacle mounting screw. With this wire completing the ground, the appliance cord plug can be plugged into the adapter and be electrically grounded.

CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.

Note: For testing ﬂame sensor circuit use a micro-amp meter in series with sensor. Minimum current should be 1 micro-amp during operation. Be careful as ﬂame sensor is in the 115VAC circuit. If current is below 1 micro-amp, remove sensor, clean with light sandpaper and retest.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Over Temperature Cut Out

The Mantis Power-Vent High-Efﬁciency Fireplace is protected against overheating with a high temperature 80°C (176°F) cut off switch to protect the heat exchanger, plastic sump and ﬂue fan.

The high temperature cut off switch will automatically switch off the gas supply to the heater, if the temperature in the room where the heater is located reaches approximately 28°C (82.4°F). The heater will go into lock out mode. An allowance of 15 minutes minimum must be made to allow for the main fan to cool down the heater prior to restarting the appliance.

Note: In most instances, overheating of the heater is a direct result of too much lint and dust having accumulated in the main convection fan. This makes the fan unable to supply sufﬁcient air to cool down the heat exchanger. It is recommended that you inspect your main convection fan prior to the start of the heating season and if necessary have it serviced by a qualiﬁed service technician (refer to Pages 45 and 46 - Maintenance).

Paint Curing - First Firing

The ﬁrst ﬁre in your heater is part of the paint curing process. Your Mantis Power-Vent High-Efﬁciency Fireplace has been painted with the highest quality heat resistant silicon paint available in the world.

To ensure that the paint is properly cured, light the unit and leave it burning on high burn for approximately 1 hour.

1. During initial ﬁring of this unit, its paint will bake out, and smoke will occur. To prevent triggering of smoke alarms, ventilate the room in which the unit is installed. During initial ﬁring of logs, you will detect an odor as the logs are cured. Also, during the curing process the logs will burn with a yel low ﬂame.

2. Don’t touch the surface of the heater. It will be soft during this paint-curing phase. Once cured it will not be soft again.

3. The paint ﬁnish of the heater should not be cleaned with any caustic or abrasive cleaning solutions.

4. Any damage to painted surface should be repaired with spe cial touch paint available from your Mantis Dealer.

Note: Your appliance should be inspected, serviced and checked

annually by a qualiﬁed service person to ensure that your appliance is operating safe and efﬁciently. Should you detect any abnormality in the operation of your appliance call a qualiﬁed service person who has been trained and approved to inspect and service the appliance. This may be your installer or dealer (routine service is not covered under warranty).

Glass Cleaning

It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. During startup, condensation, which is normal, forms on the inside of the glass and causes lint, dust and other airborne particles to cling to the glass surface. Also, initial paint curing may deposit a slight ﬁlm on the glass. It is therefore recommended that the glass be cleaned two or three times with a non-abrasive household cleaner and warm water (we recommend gas ﬁreplace glass cleaner) after the initial burn. We do not recommend using packaged spray type household glass cleaner. After that, the glass should be cleaned two or three times during each heating season depending on the circumstances present.

General Glass Information

Only glass approved for use in Empire Comfort Systems, Inc. ﬁreplace may be used for replacement. The glass replacement must be done by a licensed or qualiﬁed service person.

WARNING

1. The use of substitute glass will void all product warranties.

2. Care must be taken to avoid breakage of the glass.

3. Under no circumstances should this appliance be operated

4. Do not abuse the glass by striking or hitting the glass.

WARNING: Do not use abrasive cleaners on glass. Do not attempt to clean glass when glass is hot.

Glass Assembly Replacement

1. Remove cabinet top.

UNIT OPERATING FAULTS

SERVICE AND INSTALLATION OF THE APPLIANCE SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT BY AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY.

THE MAJOR CAUSE OF OPERATING PROBLEMS WITH GAS FIREPLACE HEATERS IS IMPROPER GAS PRES SURE, INCORRECT LOG PLACEMENT, IMPROPER INSTALLATION, INCORRECT FLUE INSTALLATION, INCORRECT SWITCHING OF BURNERS, DIPS/SPIKES IN THE INCOMING POWER OR REVERSE POLARITIES.

The above situations can cause such problems as changes in

RESETTING THE HEATER

There are a number of reasons why sometimes the heater will switch itself off and is the correct thing for the heater to do in certain situations (i.e. overheating, power failure or dips, windy conditions, pump failure, partial or full blockage of ﬂue pipe or no gas. All of these operations are monitored by the electronic control box inside the heater, which is heat sensitive, pressure switch sensitive, ﬂame sensitive and water sensitive. If one of these items is not correct, the heater will shut itself down.

To reset, turn both burner switches to the OFF position, ensure the red button above the two burner switches is not illuminated (if a Remote Control is ﬁtted, have it in the off mode). Then turn the power off at the power point for approximately 10 seconds. Then turn the power point back on and the power L.E.D. should be illu

ﬂame color or conﬁguration, intermittent operations, changes in heat output, carbon build up or sooting, bad odors, rattles or other sounds, start up failures and burner(s) switching themselves off. These are nearly always the result of improper installation or in correct operation and it may take sometime for these problems

to show themselves. Before calling out a technician you must be able to repeat the fault, try resetting the heater. Read below.

Note: Incorrect installation of the unit, logs, ﬂue pipe, gas pressure or operation, which cause the above mentioned faults, are not covered under warranty and a service call fee will be charged to correct such problems.

minated. If you have a Remote burner switch and the rear burner L.E.D. should start ﬂashing, with the ﬂue fan L.E.D. remaining steady. Wait approximately 60 seconds for the rear burner to ig nite. You can tell when it has lit, even if you can’t see any ﬂames, by looking at the rear burner L.E.D. which should remain steady. Repeat the same process with the front burner. Turn on the front burner switch and wait approximately 60 seconds and the front burner L.E.D. will remain steady.

In approximately 5 minutes the convection fan should start and the heater has been successfully reset.

Note: if the heater is still warm when reset the convection fan may already be running when the unit is powered up.

If for any reason a log should need replacement, you must use the proper replacement log. Consult your Mantis dealer for correct replacement logs.

22618-12-0707 Page 47

LOG PLACEMENT

Replacement logs must be installed and positioned as outlined on page 18 under Log Installation.

Note: Improper positioning of logs can create carbon build up
