SAFETY INFORMATION FOR USERS OF LP-GAS

LP-Gas (Propane) is a ammable gas which can cause res

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

members 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.

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 reghters declare them to be safe.

• Use your neighbor’s phone and call a trained LP-Gas service person and the re 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 reghters 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.

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 nd 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 lter the odorant. Odorants 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. Immediately 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 nd out what the propane odor smells like. If you sus-

pect that your LP-Gas has a weak or abnormal odor, call

your LP-Gas Dealer.

• If you are not qualied, do not light pilot lights, perform service, or make adjustments to appliances on the LP-Gas system. If you are qualied, 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 lled and allowed to set too long before relling. Cylinders and tanks which have been out of service for a time may develop internal

SOME POINTS TO REMEMBER

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

orices. 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 relled before it is completely empty.

VENTING REQUIREMENTS

WARNING

This appliance must not be vented with any other appliances, even if that appliance is of the condensing type. Common venting can result in severe corrosion of other appliances or their venting and can allow combustion gases to escape through such appliances or vents. Do

not vent the heater into a replace chimney or building

chase.

WARNING

Upon completion of the installation, carefully inspect the

entire ue system to assure it is properly sealed. DO NOT use any vent material other than what is specied in this manual. Leaks in the ue system can result in serious personal injury or death due to exposure of ue prod-

ucts, including carbon monoxide.

The Mantis is classied as a “Category IV” appliance, which requires special venting materials and installation procedures. Installations can be Conventional (1-pipe) and Direct Vent

(2-pipe). In selecting a location for installation, it is necessary to provide adequate clearances for servicing and proper installation.

All vent and combustion air pipes and ttings must be Schedule 40 PVC and meet the ANSI/ASTM Standard D1785. Cement must conform to ASTM Standard D2564.

Installation in Canada must conform to the requirements of CSA B149 code. Vent systems must be composed of pipe, ttings, cements, and primers listed to ULC S636. In Canada, the primer and cement must be of the same manufacturer as

the vent system; do not mix primers and cements from one manufacturer with a vent system from a different manufacturer. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions the use of primer and cement and never use primer or cement beyond its expiration

date.

The safe operation, as dened by ULC S636, of the vent system is based on following these installation instructions, the vent system manufacturer’s installation instructions, and proper use of primer and cement. Acceptability under Canadian standard CSA B149 is dependent upon full compliance with all installa-

tion instructions. Under this standard, it is recommended that

the vent system be checked once a year by qualied service personnel. The authority having jurisdiction (gas inspection authority, municipal building department, re department, etc)

should be consulted before installation to determine the need to obtain a permit.

The maximum vent length is 40 feet equivalent with (3) 90° elbows. The minimum vent length is 12 inches. Each 90° elbow used in the vent system will be the

equivalent to 3 feet, and each 45° elbow is equivalent to

1.5 feet, which should be added to the overall vent length.

1. The installation must conform with, as applicable: A. A non-metallic venting system for use in Canada shall

be listed to the Standard for Type BH Gas Venting Systems, ULC S636.

B. A maintenance schedule, when a means is provided

VENTING REQUIREMENTS

It is recommended that the Mantis Power-Vent High-Efciency Fireplace be located on an exterior wall for ease of venting. The ue exhaust pipe and inlet air pipe should be located between wall studs. The required opening for venting is 1-7/8 inch in diameter for 1-1/2 inch PVC pipe.

The minimum distance from the center of the vent cap to the nearest outside corner or obstruction is 12 inches. The ue outlet must be at least 12 inches from any opening which ue gases could enter the building. See Figure 1. The ue outlet must be a

minimum distance of 6 feet from any pressure regulator.

The bottom of the exhaust vent terminal and the air intake shall be located at least 12 inches above grade and must be vented

outside. It is recommended the exhaust and intake be located

12 inches from the maximum snow level.

The ue pipe must be supported on horizontal vent runs. The ue pipe needs to be supported every 3 feet. All horizontal runs of the ue must be pitched ¼ inch per foot either towards

the heater or away from the heater.

Note: If the vent run dips or sags, condensation may be- come trapped and cause the unit to not operate properly.

The minimum vent length protruding from outside the wall is

6 inches. For two-pipe installation, a minimum distance of 3 inches and maximum distance of 24 inches must be maintained between the pipes. See Figures 2 and 3.

Vent Freezing Protection

When the vent pipe is exposed to temperatures below freezing

(i.e. when it passes through unheated spaces, chimneys, etc.)

the pipe must be insulated with 1/2 inch thick sponge rubber insulation, Armaex-type insulation or equivalent. Insulating pipe is important to avoid condensate icing.

For proper operation, the ue exhaust must be extended 6

inches from the outside wall before applying an elbow.

Figure 4

Single ue (one-pipe) installations must have a minimum clearance of 2 inches on the back of the heater for combustion air.

Note: If the vent length requirements are not followed, the

unit will not operate properly.

Figure 13 displays a single ue (one-pipe) installation. Because the distance from the replace to the rst elbow is more than 6 inches, the rst 90° elbow must be considered into the total vent length. The equivalent length of the second 90° elbow also needs

to be added to the total length, but the third elbow does not since

it is the ue terminal. The total horizontal vent length of the ue system is 7 feet, and the total vertical length is 27 feet. The two 90° elbows are equivalent to 6 feet, bringing the total to 40 feet. Figure 14 is an example of how the replace can be vented if the ue outlet is below the level of the oor.

H = 5’ + 2’ = 7’ V = 27’ (2) - 90° = 6’ Total = 40’

H = 36’ V = 1’ (1) - 90° = 3’ Total = 40’

DIRECT VENT COLINEAR VENT EXAMPLES

Max Vent Run - 40 ft. Equivalent With Three (3) 90° Elbows

Special Note: The vent terminal 90° elbow and rst 90° elbow

off back of the fireplace, when within 6” (15.2 cm), do not contribute 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 (45 cm). 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 (91.4 cm) for every 90° elbow.

Figure 17 displays a two-pipe installation. Because the distance

from the replace to the rst elbow is more than 6 inches, the equivalent length allowance for the rst 90° elbow must be added to the total vent length. The equivalent length of the second 90°

elbow also needs to be added to the total length. The third el-

bow also needs to be included. The equivalent length of the PTrap

does not need to be added since it is the termination. The total

horizontal vent length of the ue system is 11 feet, and the total vertical length is 20 feet. The three 90° elbows are equivalent to 9

feet, bringing the total to 40 feet.

Note: The exhaust must be a minimum of 3 inches above the inlet air pipe. The ue must be at least 12 inches from the roof line, and it is recommended to be at least 12 inches above the maximum expected snow level as indicated in Figures 12 through 20.

Note: Exhaust must be a

minimum of 3 inches above

air intake inlet.

Note: On horizontal runs, a support clamp needs to be installed every 3 feet. Do not allow “sags” in horizontal vent runs; water will

settle in the pipe.

When installing a colinear horizontal, the minimum vent length protruding from the outside wall is 6” (15.2 cm) for air intake and 9”

for exhaust. See Figure 18.

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 fireplace, or a 1/4” per foot down-

ward slope to run condensation away from the fireplace.

Note: All PVC vent run piping can be purchased at a local hard- ware store. Schedule 40 PVC pipe should be used and cemented. See page 10. PVVK-SH636 Horizontal Vent Adaptor Kit is available from Empire Comfort Systems, Inc.

For horizontal colinear direct venting, exhaust and intake air, cap

pipes with 90º elbows, pointed downward.

Note: The measurement for center to center of the pipes can be 3” to 24” maximum.

High Altitude

The Mantis can be installed to altitudes up to 10,000 feet in the U.S., and up to 4,500 feet in Canada. The installation must meet

the requirements of the National Fuel Gas Code or local jurisdictions. A high altitude kit is needed for installation above 2,000 feet. See the instructions provided with the Mantis High Altitude Kit for

derate instructions.

Humidier Operation

When the heater has been running, the humidier L.E.D. (Figure 59) may turn on to signal that the pump has been acti-

vated. Refer to Page 39 - Automatic Humidier Operation.

Paint Curing - First Firing

The Mantis Power-Vent High-Efciency Fireplace has been painted with the high quality heat resistant silicon paint. To ensure that the paint is properly cured, allow the heater to operate with both

burners on, for approximately 1 hour. During the initial ring of the

appliance, it is common for smoke to appear.

CAUTION

DO NOT touch the surface of the replace. The paint

will soften during the initial operation, and will harden over time. Once the paint is cured, it will not soften again.

Figure 64

Shut Down Instructions

To turn the replace off, simply push “OFF” on the remote or switch the burner switch(es) to the “OFF” position. See Figure 63. DO NOT cut the main electrical power to the heater.

The circulating blower will continue to operate after the burners are turned off. The blower will stop automatically once the heater has cooled down.

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 4.0 in. w.c. at the valve outlet, with the inlet pressure to the valve at 5.0 in. w.c. to 10.5 in. w.c. Propane gas models will have a manifold pressure approximately 7.0 in. w.c. at the valve outlet, with the inlet pressure to the valve from

11.0 in. w.c. to 13.0 in. w.c.

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

Blower Operation

The circulating air blower will automatically engage and increase in speed depending on the operation of the burners. See Figure

63. In most circumstances, the circulating blower will start 3 to 5

minutes after ignition of the burners.

Once the heater is turned off or the call for heat has been satised,

the circulating blower will continue to run. The blower will automatically turn off once the heater has cooled down.

• To prevent triggering of smoke alarms, supply proper ventilation to the room where the unit is installed.

• During initial ring of logs, an odor will occur as the logs are

curing. It is also common for the burner to burn with a yellow

ame.

• DO NOT clean the heater with any caustic or abrasive clean-

ing solutions. This will damage the surface.

• Any damage to the painted surfaces should be repaired only with authorized paint available from your Mantis Dealer.

OPERATIONAL NOTES:

The Thermostat Feature on the transmitter operates the appliance whenever the ROOM TEMPERATURE varies a certain number of degrees from the SET TEMPERATURE. This variation is called the “SWING” or TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL. The normal operating

cycle of an appliance may be 2-4 times per hour depending on how well the room or home is insulated from the cold or drafts. The fac-

tory setting for the “swing number” is 2. This represents a temperature variation of +/- 2°F (1°C) between SET temperature and ROOM temperature, which determines when the replace will be activated. This function is pre-set at the factory.

The transmitter has ON and OFF manual functions that are activated by pressing either button on the face of the transmitter. When a button on the transmitter is pressed the word ON or OF will appear on the LCD screen to show while the signal is being sent. Upon initial use, there may be a delay of three seconds before the remote receiver will respond to the transmitter. This is part of the system’s design.

REMOTE RECEIVER

CAUTION: THE REMOTE RECEIVER SHOULD BE POSITIONED

WHERE AMBIENT TEMPERATURES DO NOT EXCEED 130° F.

The remote receiver operates on 4 AA-size 1.5V batteries. It is recommended that ALKALINE batteries be used for longer battery life and maximum microprocessor performance. IMPORTANT: New or fully charged batteries are essential for proper operation of the remote receiver. The remote receiver houses the microprocessor that responds to commands from the transmitter to control system operation. It emits one beep when it receives an ON or OFF command manually, but no beep when cycling on and off automatically in THERMOSTAT mode. The remote receiver has a 3-position slide switch for selecting the MODE of operation: ON/REMOTE/OFF

• With the slide switch in the ON position (toward the LEARN button), the system will remain on until the slide switch is placed in the OFF or REMOTE position.

• With the slide switch in the REMOTE position (centered), the system will only operate if the remote receiver receives commands from the transmitter.

• With the slide switch in the OFF position (away from the LEARN button), the sys-

tem is off.

• It is suggested that the slide switch be placed in the off position if you will

be away from your home for an extended period of time. If the remote receiver is mounted out of children’s reach, placing the slide switch in the OFF

position also functions as a safety “lock-out” by both turning the system off

and rendering the remote receiver inoperative.

FRBTC REMOTE INSTRUCTIONS

CP (CHILDPROOF) FEATURE

This ECS remote control includes a CHILDPROOF “LOCK-OUT” feature that allows the user to “LOCK-OUT” operation of the appliance, from the TRANSMITTER.

SETTING “LOCK-OUT” –(CP)

• To activate the “LOCK-OUT” feature, press and hold the ON button and the MODE button at the same time for 5 seconds. The letters CP will appear in the TEMP frame on the LCD screen.

• To disengage the “LOCK-OUT”, press and hold the ON button and the MODE button at the same time for 5 seconds and the letters CP will disappear from the LCD screen and the transmitter will return to its normal operating condition.

• To verify that transmitter is in the CP lock-out mode press any key and the LCD screen will show “CP”

NOTE: If the appliance is already operating in the ON or THERMOSTAT MODES, engaging the “LOCK-OUT” will not cancel the operating MODE. Engaging the “LOCK-OUT” prevents only the manual operation of the TRANSMITTER. If in the auto modes, the THERMOSTAT operation will continue to operate normally. To totally “LOCK-OUT” the operation of the TRANSMITTER’S operating signals; the transmitter’s MODE must be set to OFF.

THERMOSTAT UPDATING FEATURE –TRANSMITTER – (T/S –TX)

This ECS remote control has a THERMOSTAT UPDATING Feature built into its software. The THERMO UPDATING Feature operates in the following manner, but only in the THERMOSTAT MODES:

The transmitter normally reads the ROOM temperature every 2 minutes checking the ROOM temperature against the SET temperature and then sends a signal to the receiver.

COMMUNICATION – SAFETY – TRANSMITTER – (C/S – TX)

This ECS remote control has a COMMUNICATION –SAFETY function built into its software. It provides an extra margin of safety when the TRANSMITTER is out of the normal 20 foot operating range of the receiver.

The COMMUNICATION – SAFETY feature operates in the following manner, in all OPERATING MODES – ON/ OFF THERMOSTAT.

At all times and in all OPERATING MODES, the transmitter sends an RF signal every fteen (15) minutes, to the receiver, indicating that the transmitter is within the normal operating range of 20 feet. Should the receiver NOT receive a transmitter signal every 15 minutes, the IC software, in the RECEIVER, will begin a 2-HOUR (120-minute) countdown timing function. If during this 2-hour period, the receiver does not receive a signal from the transmitter, the receiver will shut down the appliance being controlled by the receiver. The RECEIVER will then emit a series of rapid “beeps” for a period of 10 seconds. Then after 10 seconds of rapid beeping, the RECEIVER will continue to emit a single “beep” every 4 seconds until a transmitter ON or MODE Button is pressed to reset the receiver. The intermittent 4-second beeping will go on for as long as the receiver’s batteries last which could be in excess of one year.

To “reset” the RECEIVER and operate the appliance, you must press the ON or MODE button on the transmitter. By turning the system to ON, the COMMUNICATION -SAFETY operation is overridden and the system will return to normal operation depending on the MODE selected at the transmitter. The COMMUNICATION – SAFETY feature will reactivate should the transmitter be taken out of the normal operating range or should the transmitter’s batteries fail or be removed.

FRBTC REMOTE INSTRUCTIONS

THERMO- SAFETY FEATURE – RECEIVER (T/S –RX)

This ECS remote control has a THERMO- SAFETY feature that is built into the system’s RECEIVER. This feature is temperature- activated and provides an extra margin of safety when the RECEIVER is operating where ambient temperatures exceed 130°F degrees inside the receiver case.

The THERMO-SAFETY feature, in the RECEIVER, operates in the following manner, when the appliance is in operation.

The receiver is thermally protected from extreme heat conditions. Heat can have negative effect on the operation of the receiver’s microprocessors.

For REMOTE RECEIVERS that operate on BATTERY POWER, these heat conditions can cause batteries to discharge

when temperatures exceed 115°F. Studies show that alkaline batteries, when exposed to a constant temperature of 115°F, can lose up to 50% of their operating power. When the battery cools down, it will partially recharge itself, but constant heat-

ing and cooling will reduce the battery’s normal life expectancy.

When the ambient temperature at the THERMISTOR, inside the receiver case, reaches 130°F, the THERMISTOR will automatically shut the appliance down and the RECEIVER will begin emitting a series of 2 “beeps”, every 4 seconds. When the

ambient temperature, at the RECEIVER, drops between 120°F and 130°F, the user can reactivate the appliance by pushing the MODE button on the transmitter. The word ON must display on the LCD screen. When the MODE button is pressed to ON, the THERMISTOR “resets” itself and the replace will begin operating again. However, the “beeping” will continue, if the ambient temperature remains between 120°F and 130°F. This “beeping” alerts the user that the RECEIVER should be repositioned so the ambient temperature drops below 120°F.

When the temperature drops below 120°F, the “beeping” will cease, providing the user has “reset” the THERMISTOR by

pushing the MODE button to ON to operate the appliance, either manually or thermally. Allow sufcient time for the receiver to cool below 120°F, and then press MODE button to stop beeping.

MATCHING SECURITY CODES

Each transmitter can use one of 1,048,576 unique security codes. It may be necessary to program the remote receiver to LEARN the security code of the transmitter upon initial use, if batteries are replaced, or if a replacement transmitter is purchased from your dealer or the factory. When matching security codes, be sure slide button on the receiver is in the REMOTE position; the code will NOT “LEARN” if the slide switch is in the OFF position. Program the remote receiver to LEARN a new security code by pushing in the LEARN button on the top of the remote receiver and then pressing any button on the transmitter. A change in the beeping pattern, at the receiver, indicates the transmitter’s code has been programmed into the receiver. When an existing receiver is matched to a new transmitter, the new security code will overwrite the old one.

The microprocessor that controls the security code matching procedure is controlled by a timing function. If you are unsuccessful in matching the security code on the rst attempt, wait 1 - 2 minutes before trying again--this delay allows the microprocessor to reset its timer circuitry--and try up to two or three more times.

TRANSMITTER WALL CLIP

The transmitter can be hung on a wall using the clip provided. If the clip is installed on a solid wood wall, drill 1/8” pilot holes and install with the screws provided. If it is installed on a plaster/wallboard wall, rst drill two 1/4” holes into the wall. Then use a hammer to tap in the two plastic wall anchors ush with the wall; then install the screws provided.

FRBTC REMOTE INSTRUCTIONS

BATTERY LIFE

Life expectancy of the alkaline batteries in the transmitter should be at least 12 months. Check and replace all batteries an-

nually. When the transmitter no longer operates the remote receiver from a distance it did previously (i.e., the transmitter’s range has decreased) or the remote receiver doe not function at all, the batteries should be checked. It is important that the remote receiver batteries are fully charged and provides continuous output voltage of a least 5.3 volts. The length of the wire between the remote receiver and gas valve directly affects the operating performance of the remote system. The longer the wire, the more battery power is required to deliver signals between the remote receiver and the gas valve. Recommended length is no longer than 20 feet. The transmitter should operate with as little as 5.0 volts battery power.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

If you encounter problems with your replace system, the problem may be with the replace itself or it could be with the ECS remote. Review the replace manufacturer’s operation manual to make sure all connections are properly made. Then check the operation of the ECS remote in the following manner:

• Make sure the batteries are correctly installed in the RECEIVER. One reversed battery will keep receiver from operating

properly.

• Check battery in Transmitter to make sure contacts are touching (+) and (-) ends of battery. Bend metal contacts in for tighter t.

• Be sure RECEIVER and Transmitter are within 20’-25’ operating range.

• Keep RECEIVER from temperatures exceeding 130° F. Battery life shortened when ambient temperatures are above

130° F.

• If RECEIVER is installed in tightly enclosed metal surround, the operating distance will be shortened.

RECEIVER ADJUSTMENT – RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENT

NOTE: The slide button, White or Black, covers the ADJ access hole

when installed.

A. To adjust at the receiver, use a small slotted screwdriver. Turn the adjust-

ment screw counter-clockwise about 5 degrees or a maximum of 1/8 turn.

This should correct the distance problem.

B. If that does not correct the problem, return adjustment screw to original

position and then turn adjustment screw clockwise.

This adjustment is like tuning your radio. If you keep turning the adjustment

screw, in either direction, you will go past the proper setting (tuning).

AUTOMATIC HUMIDIFIER OPERATION

The Mantis Power-Vent High-Efciency Fireplace has an automatic humidier designed into the replace. As the replace operates, condensate is created and is collected in a tank inside the re-

place. The condensate pump will take the collected condensate that is collected and pump it to a stainless steel tray where it evaporates into the airstream adding humidity to the heated space.

Note: When the automatic humidier is engaged and is transferring the condensate, there may be a noticeable hissing sound. This is normal, and the sound should persist for less than 30 seconds.

The amount of condensate created will vary based on several factors including but not limited to location of replace, air temperature, length of venting, and whether the vent pipe is horizontal or vertical. The humidier will operate intermittently while the re-

place is operating.

While the condensate pump is transferring the condensate from

the tank to the tray, the humidier L.E.D. light will illuminate during pump operation. See page 33, Figure 64. Once the condensate is

transferred, the light will turn off.

OPTIONAL CONTROLS

Figure 65

Economy Mode (Red Button Operation)

To utilize this feature, a programmable control or thermostat must be connected to the heater. A red button is located next to the

burner switches on the front control panel. See Figure 66. This is called the economy mode.

MAINTENANCE & SERVICE

Over Temperature Limit Switch

The Mantis Power-Vent High-Efciency Fireplace is protected against overheating with a high temperature switch, which pro-

tects the heat exchanger, plastic sump and inducer.

If the over temperature limit activates, the gas supply will shut off and both the inducer and circulating air blower will run. Once the replace cools down, the limit will reset and the replace will need

to be reset.

Circulating Air Blower

The circulating air blower should be checked and cleaned annu-

ally by a qualied service person to ensure that your appliance is operating efciently. Any dirt or lint can affect the operation of the

blower.
