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 suspect 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 rust which will cause odor fade. If such conditions are sus-

SOME POINTS TO REMEMBER

pected 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.

INSTALLATION AND GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

General Information

This series is designed certied in accordance with American National Standard/CSA Standard Z21.88 as a Gas Fireplace to be

installed according to these instructions.

Any alteration of the original design, installed other than as shown in these instructions will be the responsibility of the person and company making the changes, and will void the warranty. This product may not be used with any type of gas other than what is shown on the rating plate.

Important

All Correspondence should refer to complete Model Number, Serial Number and type of gas.

Installation

Installation, replacement, gas piping, gas utilization equipment or accessories, and the repair and service of this equipment must be performed by a qualied agency. The term “qualied agency” means any individual, rm, corporation or company which either in

person or through a representative is engaged in and is responsible for (a) the installation or replacement of gas piping or (b) the

connection, installation, repair or servicing of equipment, who is experienced in such work, familiar with all precautions required

and has complied with all the requirements of the authority having

jurisdiction.

• This installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1.

• This 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.

• Provide adequate clearances around the replace for servic-

ing and ensure there are no obstructions to the combustion air

intake situated at the back of the replace. Refer to Pages 24

to 28.

• The Mantis Power-Vent High-Efciency Fireplace must be installed on a at, solid continuous surface (i.e. wood, metal,

concrete). Rough or uneven surfaces can cause vibration or

humming in the replace.

• This appliance does need to be installed in such a way where

the replace can be removed for servicing the heat exchanger and the ue that are located in the rear section of the re-

place.

• 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, purchase an

adapter with two prongs and a wire for grounding.

Note: Under no circumstances should the appliance be installed

under conditions that would not allow for easy removal of the appliance to carry out routine inspection and service to the appliance.

Note: Where a mantel surround is being used on insert installa-

tions and zero clearance replace installations, the combustion air intake slot located in the top mantel surround must not be obstructed. This will allow combustion air to enter through the slot to the combustion air inlet located

at the back of the replace.

Note: During initial ring of this replace, residual oil from the

heat exchanger may bake off and smoke may occur. Provide adequate ventilation to the area where the re-

place is installed to prevent triggering of smoke alarms. Refer to page 33 for more detail.

A manufactured home (USA only) or mobile home OEM installation must conform with the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280, or when such a standard is not applicable, the Standard for Manufactured Home Installations, ANSI/NCSBCS Z225.1, or Standard for Gas Equipped Recreational Vehicles and Mobile Housing, CSA Z240.0.

GAS SUPPLY

All gas piping must be installed in compliance with local codes and

utility regulations. In the absence of local codes the installation

must comply with NFCG NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1.

Note: Never use plastic pipe. Check to conrm whether your local codes allow copper tubing or galvanized.

Where permitted, exible gas connectors must be certied to the following standards: — ANS Z21.24 Appliance Connectors of Corrugated Metal Tub-

ing and Fittings

— ANS Z21.45 Assembled Flexible Appliance Connectors of

Other Than All-Metal Construction

The above connectors may be used if acceptable by the author-

ity having jurisdiction. The state of Massachusetts requires that a exible appliance connector cannot exceed three feet in length.

A drip leg should be installed in the vertical gas supply pipe run to the replace.

Manual Shut-off Valve

Some local regulations require the installation of a manual shut-off

valve and ground joint union external to the appliance. The shutoff should be accessible for service and/or emergency use. Consult the

local utility or gas supplier for additional requirements regarding the placement of the manual shut off valve. Compounds used on

threaded joints of gas piping shall be resistant to the action of liqueed petroleum gases.

Pressure Testing of the Gas Supply System

1. To check the inlet pressure to the gas valve, a 1/8 inch 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 pres-

sure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2

psig.

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.

Leak Testing

WARNING - FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD

Never test for leaks with an open ame. Check all

connections using a commercially available soap solution. A re or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Failure to follow the safety warnings exactly could result in serious injury, death or property damage.

After gas piping to the replace is complete, all connections must

be tested for gas leaks. This includes pipe connections at the main

gas valve, emergency shutoff valve and exible gas connectors (if

applicable). The soap and water solution can be applied on each

joint or union using a small paintbrush. If any bubbling is observed,

the connection is not sealed adequately and must be retightened. Repeat the tightening and soap check process until the bubbling ceases.

Important Note: When pressure testing the gas supply lines at pressures greater than ½ psig (14 in. w.c.), the gas supply piping system must be disconnected from the appliance to prevent damage to the gas control valve. If the test pressure is less than or equal to ½ psig (14 in. w.c.), close the manual shut-off valve.

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 en-

tire 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 products, 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 (one-pipe) and Direct Vent (two-pipe). Venting must be completed with 1-1/2 inch diameter pipe. In selecting a location for installation, it is necessary to pro-

vide 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.

Maximum Vent Length is 40 feet with three 90° elbows. The minimum vent length is twelve inches. Each 90° elbow used

in the vent system will be the equivalent to three feet, and each 45° elbow is equivalent to 1.5 feet, which should be added to

the overall vent length. See Table 1.

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.

For vent clearances refer to Figure 1 pg 10.

The bottom of the exhaust vent terminal and the air intake shall be

located at least twelve inches above grade and must be vented

outside. It is recommended the exhaust and intake be located twelve inches from the maximum snow level.

The ue pipe must be supported on horizontal vent runs. The ue pipe needs to be supported every three feet. All horizontal runs of the ue must be pitched ¼ inch per foot either towards the replace or away from the replace.

Note: If the vent run dips or sags, condensation may become

trapped and cause the unit to not operate properly.

The minimum vent length protruding from outside the wall is six inches. For two-pipe installation, a minimum distance of three inches and maximum distance of 24 inches must be maintained between the pipes. See Figures 2 and 3.

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

Note: If vent length requirements are not followed, the unit will not operate properly.

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 im-

portant to avoid condensate icing.

For proper operation, the ue exhaust must extend 6 inches from

the outside wall before applying an elbow.

VENT ADAPTOR KITS

Figure 4

The Vent Adaptor Kits provide a transition from the appliance to the ue and inlet pipes. The Single Flue Horizontal Vent Kit (PVVK-FC) provides a transition for the piping. No cement is needed to attach the adaptor to the replace. When installing the

Figure 6

The PVVK-CFA ex vent kit is a exible vent hose that is 42” in length. The ex vent kit will be used when installing a Mantis into an existing replace. The ex vent kit can be cut down, but can only be cut from one end.

Once length is determined, install two 10 x 1/2” screws into the adaptor assembly to secure the adaptor assembly to the ex hose. Using PVC cement, cement all PVC joints of the ex vent kit to the remaining PVC vent run.

Figure 8 displays a single ue (one-pipe) installation. Because the distance from the replace to the rst elbow is more than six 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 seven feet, and the total vertical length is 27 feet. The two 90° elbows are equivalent to six feet, bringing the total to 40 feet.

Note: Horizontal discharge 90° elbow must be pointed downward. See Figure 15. 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.

PVCA Horizontal Colinear Direct Vent Adaptor, PVVTC Cap, PVVK-CFA Flex Kit and PVVK-SH Horizontal Vent Adaptor Kit are available from Empire Comfort Systems, Inc.

In both vertical and horizontal colinear direct vent applications, a colinear transition plate model PVCT can be used to minimize clearances between intake and exhaust pipes.

For horizontal colinear direct venting, exhaust and intake air, cap pipes with 90º elbows, pointed downward.

Note: If transition plate (model PVCT) is used, the measurement for center to center of the pipes will be 2.5”. If the transition plate (model PVCT) is not used, the measurement for center to center of the pipes can be 3” to 24” maximum.

Calculation example of vent run maximum 40 feet

Figure 14 displays a two-pipe installation. Because the distance from the replace to the rst elbow is more than six inches, the 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 elbow 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 eleven feet, and the total vertical length is 20 feet. The three 90° elbows are equivalent to nine feet, bring-

ing the total to 40 feet.

Note: The exhaust must be a minimum of three inches above the inlet air pipe. The ue must be at least twelve inches from the roof line, and it is recommended to be at least twelve inches above the maximum expected snow level as indicated in Figures 13 through

20.

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

will settle in the pipe.

START UP AND ADJUSTMENTS

A. With main electrical power to the replace turned off, install

three AAA sized 1.5V batteries into the remote. Set up remote per instructions on pages 34 - 40. After the remote is set up,

ensure that the remote is turned on and active. The remote

display must show “Auto,” Manual” or “Pilot.”

Figure 46

B. Turn on the main electrical power to the replace. See Fig-

ure 47. The red and green control board LED lights will begin ashing alternately. Each light will ash four times. Then the replace will enter standby and the green LED light will begin to slowly ash. Verify power is on by checking if there is power to the control board. If the replace has power, the green LED light on the control board will be ash slowly.

Figure 47

C. The Display Panel board should be energized, and a “double

dash symbol” (- -) the power light will be displayed. See Fig-

ure 48. The remote receiver automatically links to the remote

transmitter’s signal. If the replace does not respond to the

remote when in remote mode as indicated by

the double dash symbol, turn the main power off (Figure 45) and make sure the remote is on and

active before turning main power back on.

D. Turn on the main gas supply.

Sequence of Operations

1. Start the replace with the remote, or press the display panel’s “Mode Select” button (Figure 48) to start the replace manually. The Display Panel will energize, and the desired ame

level will be displayed.

2. The inducer will activate and perform a safety test lasting 45 seconds. The ignition sequence will initiate after this test.

3. The igniter (HSI) will energize and start to glow red.

4. After 20 seconds, the gas valve will open and ignite the burner on high. The ame sensor will verify the ame is present within six seconds and the green LED light on the control board

will illuminate.

5. The gas valve will adjust manifold pressure and inducer speed to match desired ame level.

Note: The replace will always ignite on Level 5 (High) prior to adjusting to the ame level on the display panel.

Note: The entire ignition sequence takes approximately one minute, 15 seconds to complete.

6. Use the “Manual Flame Level Adjustment” buttons on the display panel (Figure 48) or the remote control to change the ame level setting.

Note: When changing from a low ame level to a higher ame level, the replace will automatically increase to Level 5 (High) prior to proceeding to the desired ame level. This is to ensure

consistent operation.

The table below outlines the BTU input rate of the burner for each

ame level.

Flame Level BTU Input

5 20,000

4 17,500

3 15,000

2 12,500

1 10,000

7. As the Mantis warms up, the circulating blower will activate,

starting on Low speed (l). The Low Blower speed will display when the blower turns on.

8. As the Mantis continues to operate, the speed of the circulating blower will increase, and the symbols for Medium (2) and High (3) will appear.

CAUTION: If the replace experiences an unexpected loss of power while the remote is operating in thermostatic mode, the remote’s

thermostatic function will need to be manually reset after power is restored in order for

the replace to resume normal operation.

Press the remote’s power button to turn it off then back on to reset the thermostatic function.

START UP AND ADJUSTMENTS

Display Backlight

The display panel back light will automatically turn off ve seconds

after an input (either manual or remote) is acknowledged. The back light will automatically turn on when a new input is acknowl-

edged. To turn the back light on manually, press the “Display Backlight” button on the bottom left of the display panel (Figure 48).

Shut Down Instructions

To turn the replace off, simply push “OFF” on the remote or push the display panel’s mode select button to “OFF”. See Figure 49. DO NOT cut the main electrical power to the replace.

The circulating blower will continue to operate after the burner is

turned off. The blower will stop automatically once the replace

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 3.5 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 pressure tap 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 burner. In most circum-

stances, the circulating blower will start three to ve minutes after

ignition of the burner.

Once the replace is turned off or the call for heat has been satised, the circulating blower will continue to run. The blower will automatically adjust its speed and turn off as the replace cools

down.

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 jurisdic-

tions.

Humidier Operation

When the replace has been running, the “AUX” symbol on the display panel (Figure 48) will turn on to signal that the pump has been activated. Refer to Page 42 - Automatic Humidier Opera-

tion.

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 replace to operate with both burners on, for approximately one 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.

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

• DO NOT clean the replace with any caustic or abrasive

cleaning solutions. This will damage the surface.

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

REMOTE INSTRUCTIONS

The remote control and its LCD screen lets you make full use of your replace’s potential. In particular it enables you to adjust the replace’s operating parameters, program its timer, and continu-

ously monitor room temperature to control operation.

A room temperature sensor is built into the remote control to ensure accurate measurement of temperature in the room to be

heated, at whatever point the user wishes, and without having to

install inconvenient thermostat cables.

When the remote is turned on the back-lighting of the remote control screen illuminates as soon as you press any button.

ATTENTION

If the remote control is switched off because there are no bat-

teries in it, it cannot be used to control the replace and the replace’s display panel must be used instead (see page 32). When using the replace’s display panel for operation only key functions remain enabled: on, off and manual control of the ame levels.

CAUTION

Keep the remote control away from direct heat and water. Keep the remote control away from children. The remote control must always be kept near the replace (i.e.

within a radius of about 16 feet of it) to ensure correct transmission of measured temperature values.

REMOTE INSTRUCTIONS

The remote control adjusts the functioning of the replace by continuously comparing measured room temperature (shown at the

bottom right of the display by the large numbers just to the left of

the “home” symbol ) with the desired temperature set by the

user. When the required temperature is reached in the room, the replace gradually reduces its power until it shuts off. If room tem-

perature then drops below a certain temperature, the replace will relight gradually increase ame level up to the maximum again.

Room temperature is measured by the remote control’s own builtin sensor. The replace will therefore attempt to achieve a temperature based on the measurements of the remote control. This

means that the remote control acts as a genuine MOBILE THERMOSTAT, within a range of about 16 feet of the replace (with fully

charged batteries).

CAUTION: If the replace experiences an unexpected

loss of power while the remote is operating thermostatic

mode, the remote’s thermostatic function will need to be

manually reset after power is restored in order for the

replace to resume normal operation. Press the remote’s

power button to turn it off then back on to reset the thermostatic function.

Figure 60

When you exit the SLEEP setting menu, the display shows the sleep symbol as an outline and the countdown time to replace

shut-down instead of current time.

Note: If the keypad is not used for 7 seconds, the remote control automatically exits the sleep setting menu and assumes the last

settings entered.

Note: Since the remote control acts as a room thermostat, the

right conditions must be maintained for proper communications between the remote control and the stove. You should always

keep the remote control in the area heated by the replace and always within a range of 16 feet from it. Avoid keeping the remote control too near the replace however, since the hot air in the immediate vicinity of the replace could affect the remote

control’s room temperature.

Note: Keep the remote control in the room where the replace is installed, so that the replace and remote control can com-

municate with each other. If you take the remote control outside

the range of communications with the replace, the replace will

no longer receive any room temperature measurements and will therefore continue to function at the same power setting that was established before communications failed.

Switching from Thermostatic to Manual Mode

To return to MANUAL mode from THERMOSTATIC mode, repeat

the steps used to switch from Manual to Thermostatic Mode.

Sleep Function

This function is designed to shut down the replace after a certain

time. The SLEEP function allows you to set a countdown period of eight

hours in 15 minute increments, at the end of which the replace

will shut down.

You can start up or shut down the replace manually even if a program is active. Manual commands take precedence over program

commands. The next program command will be ignored. Example: if the timer is due to start the replace at 10:00, but you already feel cold at 9:00 and want to start the replace up early, press the up and down button. The command to start the replace at 10:00 will then be ignored because the replace will already be

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 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 sec-

onds.

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 “AUX” symbol will display during pump operation. See Page 32, Figure 48. Once the condensate is transferred, the symbol will turn off.

Figure 63

MAINTENANCE & SERVICE

The Mantis should be inspected and serviced annually by a quali-

ed service person. This will ensure that the appliance is operating safely and efciently. Should you suspect any abnormal operation, contact a service person that has been trained to service this

product.

Cleaning the Glass Door

After the initial paint curing, a slight lm may form on the glass. It is recommended to clean the glass with gas replace glass cleaner.

The glass will need to be cleaned periodically during the year. Use care when removing and cleaning the glass. In the event the glass

needs replaced, contact a qualied service person. Only glass approved by Empire Comfort Systems Inc. may be used, any substi-

tute glasses will void the warranty.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to clean the glass when it is hot. Do not strike or hit the glass.

WARNING

Do not operate this appliance without the glass door in place. Do not operate if the glass front is broken or damaged. Do not use the glass door if the gasket is missing or is damaged.

CAUTION

Be certain the glass is cool before handling.

Removing the Glass Door

1. Remove the lower louvered panel by lifting up then pulling out.

2. Release the two hinge clips on underside of rebox.

3. Angle the bottom of glass assembly approximately 60 degrees out from rebox. Gently pull glass assembly away from rebox. Do not damage or remove the gasket from the door.

Resetting the Fireplace

WARNING

Potential risk of re, electric shock, and personal injury.

Take precautions to reduce such risks

CAUTION

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

To reset the replace, press the mode selection button on the display panel repeatedly until the replace cycles through the “OFF” setting once. If the error has been cleared, the replace will operate normally. If the error is still present, consult a qualied service

technician.

Cleaning the Porcelain Liners

Over time a lm may form on the porcelain liners. It is recommended to clean the liners with gas replace glass cleaner.

The liners will need to be cleaned periodically during the year. The glass door will need to be removed to clean the liners. Use care when removing the glass. In the event the liners need to be re-

placed, contact a qualied service person. Only liners supplied by Empire Comfort Systems may be used. Any substitute will void the

warranty.

MAINTENANCE & SERVICE

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.

Heat Exchanger

The heat exchanger is located on the backside of the replace. The heat exchanger should be inspected and cleaned annually by a qualied service person.

Filter

The lter is located on the inside of the lower louver panel (on replaces equipped with FIKQ, FFKQ or FWKQ Surrounds) or on the inside bottom ange of the surround (FHKQ Surrounds). To clean the lter on replaces equipped with the lower louver panel, remove the louvered panel and disengage the lter rod from its retaining holes (Figure 64). For replaces equipped with louverless FHKQ surrounds, the entire surround must be removed from the replace. To remove the surround, lift and remove from the support bracket hooks. Remove the lter retainers and lters from the inside bottom ange by removing the screw holding the lter retainer in place (Figure 65). The lters may be rinsed with water or blown clean with compressed air. Allow the lters to dry completely before reinstalling

them.

DECORATIVE GLASS ACCESSORY INSTALLATION

WARNING

Failure to position the parts in accordance with the diagrams and instructions below or failure to use only parts

specically approved for use with this heater may result in

property damage or personal injury.

Notice: The G-Class series Mantis may be operated with or

without the Decorative accessory options. Follow the directions below should you choose to enhance your replace with any one of the available decorative options.

DECORATIVE GLASS OR ROCK MEDIA ACCESSORY PLACEMENT Note: The G-Class Series Mantis replace will accept two square

feet of decorative media.

Empire Comfort Systems offers a selection of decorative media

for the G-Class series Mantis replace. It is approved for use with glass media measuring as small as 1/4 inch and up to 1-1/4 inch in diameter. See page 7. Additional colors may be available from

your Empire dealer. Empire Comfort Systems approved rock media may also be used. See page 7.

Use properly sized media - crushed, smooth, small, large, or a combination - to create the desired look. Follow the diagrams in

this manual for placement of media and clearance to burner openings.

INSTALLATION

1. Application of the Decorative Media should only be performed after the replace has been fully installed, secured and tested

for leaks.

2. To install the Decorative Media, cut off a corner of the plastic

bag and proceed to apply the media to the rear of the porce-

lain liner bottom (area behind the burner). Apply only enough

media to the porcelain liner bottom to cover the black metal

surface. Do not allow the media to fall around the burner tube. See Figures 67 to 69. Apply the remaining decorative media

to the front area of the porcelain liner bottom. Start by placing

the media along the front of the porcelain liner bottom, then

gradually place the media up the porcelain liner bottom until

completely covered. Do not allow the media to fall around the burner tube. See Figures 61 to 69.

CAUTION

Never stack decorative media higher than the burner open-

ing anges when within two inches of the burner opening.

See Figure 70

CAUTION

Use of gloves and eye protection is required while applying the decorative glass.

CAUTION

Use only decorative glass media approved for use in gas

replaces.

CAUTION
