SAFETY INFORMATION FOR USERS OF LP-GAS

Propane (LP-Gas) 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 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

reghters 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 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

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 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.

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

SOME POINTS TO REMEMBER

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 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 com-

pletely empty or having it relled before it is completely

empty.

Figure 1

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 adequate, contact your local authorized installer for installation or relocation.

Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping shall be resistant

to the action of liqueed 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ame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" (3 mm) 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replace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. (.872 kPa) at the valve outlet with the inlet pressure to the valve from a minimum of 5.0" w.c. (1.245 kPa) for the purpose of input adjustment to a maximum of

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

pressure approximately 7.0" w.c. (2.49 kPa) at the valve outlet with the inlet pressure to the valve from a minimum of 11.0" w.c. (2.739 kPa) for the purpose of input adjustment to a maximum of

13.0" w.c. (3.237 kPa).

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

CLEARANCES FOR SINGLE FLUE

1. Pick a location on a wall with a clear space in the room. In selecting a location for installation, it is necessary to provide adequate accessibility clearances for servicing and proper installation. Be sure to locate the unit close enough to a 115 VAC wall receptacle to properly power appliance.

2. When facing the front of the furnace, the minimum clearances from casing to combustible construction are 0” (0 mm) on top, 0” (0 mm) on each side, recommend 4” (102 mm) for servicing

and 0” (0 mm) from the oor and 2” (51 mm) to rear wall for

servicing and installation.

3. The minimum distance from the center of the vent cap to the nearest outside corner or obstruction is 12” (305 mm).

HEATER INSTALLATION FOR SINGLE FLUE

The bottom of the exhaust vent terminal and the air intake shall be located at least 12” (305 mm) above grade and must be vented outside.

WARNING: The nearest point of the vent cap should be a

minimumhorizontaldistanceofsix(6)feet(1.83m)from

any pressure regulator. In case of regulator malfunction,

thesix(6)feet(1.83m)distancewillreducethechanceof

gas entering the vent cap.

Installation on Rugs and Tile

If this appliance is to be installed directly on carpeting, tile, or other

combustible material, other than wood ooring, the appliance shall

be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the appliance.

The base referred to above does not mean the re-proof base as

used on wood stoves. The protection is primarily for rugs that may be extremely thick and light-color tile that can discolor.

Locating Wall Opening

The recommended location for this heater is on an outside wall (the unit can be located on an inside wall but must not exceed 40’ (12.19 m) in exhaust vent length). Locate wall studs so that wall vent opening will be located between wall studs. The wall opening required for venting is a 1 7/8” (48 mm) minimum diameter opening.

Refer to Pages 11 to 17 for positioning the heater on wall and for locating gas line connection and vent opening. Heater can sit on

the oor.

Note: On horizontal runs, a P.V.C. support clamp needs to be in-

stalled every 3 feet. No “sags” in horizontal vent runs; water will settle in the pipe.

When installing a single ue horizontal, the minimum vent length

protruding from the outside wall is 6” (15.2 cm). See Figure 23.

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

Note: Horizontal discharge 90° elbow must be pointed downward. See Figure 23. 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.

Note: All PVC vent run piping can be purchased at a local hardware store. Schedule 40 PVC pipe should be used and cemented. Flex Kit and Horizontal Vent Adaptor Kit are available from Empire Comfort Systems, Inc.

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 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 34.

Note: Horizontal discharge 90° elbow must be pointed downward. See Figure 32. 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.

Note: All PVC vent run piping can be purchased at a local hardware store. Schedule 40 PVC pipe should be used and cemented. Horizontal Colinear Direct Vent Adaptor, Cap, Flex Kit and PVVK-SH Horizontal Vent Adaptor Kit are available from Empire Comfort Systems, Inc.

Figure 31

In both vertical and horizontal colinear direct vent applications, a colinear transition plate 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 is used, the measurement for center to

center of the pipes will be 2.5”. If the transition plate is not used, the measurement for center to center of the pipes can be 3” to 24” maximum.

WARNING: Major U.S. building codes specify minimum chimney and/or vent height above the rooftop. These minimum heights are

necessary in the interest of safety. These specications are summarized in Figure 37.

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

For exhaust and intake air, cap pipes with any of the following: Vertical termination cap, PTrap, or two 90º elbows. When transition

plate is used, two termination caps may NOT be used.

FRONT BURNER SWITCH

REAR BURNER SWITCH

THERMOSTAT DISPLAY MODE BUTTON

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 (Figure 57) indicator is on.

4. Burner selection: select low burn (front burner), medium

burn (rear burner), or high burn (both burners). Low burn switch (Figure 59) controls the front burner only. Medium burn switch (Figure 58) 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). Before starting ensure that the power L.E.D (Figure 60A) 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 60E) will be on. Also the two burner L.E.D’s

(Figure 60C and 60D) will start ashing for 35 seconds

L.E.D’s will remain on. If you can’t see ame on the rear burner, but the burner L.E.D is on, then there will be ame

there which will become more visible as the heater warms up. Once the heater warms up the low speed L.E.D (Figure 60F) will light and the convection fan will blow warm air from the heater. As the heater becomes warmer, the medium L.E.D (Figure 60G) 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 41 - Fan Operation. When the heater has been running for some time, the water pump L.E.D (Figure 60B) may come on to signal that the pump has been activated. Refer to

Page 41 - Automatic Humidier 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 58)

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

burner switch only (Figure 59)

c. High setting (front and rear burners).

prior to ignition. Once both burners have ignited, the burner

Caution: When switching from the front burner to the rear burner, be sure to activate the rear burner rst, then turn off the front

burner. When switching from rear burner to the front burner, be sure to activate the front burner rst. Simple rule - always activate the desired burner rst, then switch the other burner off. If it is switched the wrong way, the burner(s) will go out

and the heater may need to be reset. Refer to Page 50 - Resetting the Heater.

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 by heat build-up in the rebox and will operate on three preset

speeds. Depending on the temperature, the L.E.D lights (Page 39, Figure 60) for the fan will light up. The bottom L.E.D light (Figure 60F) is low speed setting, and middle L.E.D lights (Figure 60G) is the medium speed setting, the bottom, middle and top L.E.D lights (Figure 60H) is the high-speed setting.

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

HEATER SHUT DOWN INSTRUCTIONS

Turn medium burner switch (Figure 58) and low burner switch (Figure 59) to the “OFF” position.

Note: Do not cut main electrical supply to the heater after the heater has been switched off to stop main fan operating. Main fan will

stop operating automatically after the heater has cooled down sufciently.

AUTOMATIC HUMIDIFIER OPERATION

Figure61

Most gas heaters dry out the air in the room. The Mantis has

ingeniously solved this problem with an Automatic Humidier. Gas contains moisture which is normally expelled out the ue or chimney after combustion. But the Mantis is so efcient 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!

1. The amount of condensate build up in the water sump is de-

pendent on outside temperature, length and height of the ue pipe. The automatic humidier can operate from approxi-

mately 10 minute to 6 hour intervals, depending on ambient

temperature, style and type of ue. Long single vertical ues can cause the humidier to come on more often depending on

heater settings.

2. When the automatic humidier is engaged and is transferring

the condensate into the holding tank, a hissing sound may be noticeable. 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

lled with the condensate.

3. When the automatic humidier pump comes on to pump con-

densate into the stainless steal tray (located on the top of the heater), the L.E.D. light (Page 39, Figure 60B) on the front

panel will light up and ash 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 humidier operation will begin.

Replace front louver panel and plug unit into outlet. Turn both burner switches to ON position. Burner switches must remain in the ON position for thermostat to function. 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 65) 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.

WARNING:Potentialriskofre,electricshock,

and personal injury. Take precautions to reduce such risks.

Note: For testing ame sensor circuit use a micro-amp meter

in series with sensor. Minimum current should be 1 micro-amp during operation. Be careful as ame 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-Efciency Fireplace is protected

against overheating with a high temperature 80°C (176°F) cut off

switch to protect the heat exchanger, plastic sump and ue 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 sufcient

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 qualied service

technician (refer to Pages 45 and 49 - Maintenance).

Paint Curing - First Firing

The rst re in your heater is part of the paint curing process. Your Mantis Power-Vent High-Efciency 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 ring 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

ring of logs, you will detect an odor as the logs are cured.

Also, during the curing process the logs will burn with a

yellow ame.

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 nish of the heater should not be cleaned with any

caustic or abrasive cleaning solutions.

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

BAY WINDOW MAINTENANCE

Note: Your appliance should be inspected, serviced and checked

annually by a qualied service person to ensure that your appliance is operating safe and efciently. Should

you detect any abnormality in the operation of your

appliance call a qualied 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 start-up, 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

lm 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 replace 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.

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 PRESSURE, INCORRECT LOG PLACEMENT, IMPROPER INSTALLATION, INCORRECT FLUE INSTALLATION, INCORRECT SWITCHING OF

BURNERS, DIPS/SPIKES IN THE INCOMING POWER

OR REVERSE POLARITIES.

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 ue 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, ame 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 tted, 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-

This situations can cause such problems as changes in ame color or conguration, 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 incorrect 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, ue 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 ashing, with the ue 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 ames,

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.

LOG PLACEMENT

Replacement logs must be installed and positioned as outlined on Pages 18 to 20 under Log Installation.

Note: Improper positioning of logs can create carbon build up

and will alter the unit’s performance and operation.
