OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CHECKLIST BEFORE OPERATING THIS APPLIANCE, CAREFULLY PROCEED THROUGH THE FOLLOWING CHECKLIST 1. Read and understand these instructions before installing or operating this appliance. 2. This appliance is should be installed and repaired by a fully qualified service person who must be familiar with the installation of the Mantis Power-Vent High-Efficiency Fireplace. 3. Installers who are not familiar with the installation of this appliance should contact Empire Comfort Systems, Inc.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Main Electrical power supply must always be switched on to the unit with the two burner switches in the off position (up) before lighting the heater. 2. Turn on main gas supply. 3. Verify that main electrical supply is switched on by checking the 115V AC power status display (Figures 32 and 33) indicator is on. 4. Burner selection: select low burn (front burner), medium burn (rear burner), or high burn (both burners).
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING WARNING: IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY, A FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY RESULT CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR LOSS OF LIFE. A. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor. WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS • Do not try to light any appliance. • Do not touch any electrical switch.
FAN OPERATION The 3-speed main convection fan will automatically start approximately 3 to 5 minutes after the heater has warmed up. Note: The 3-speed main convection fan is automatically controlled and will operate on three preset speeds. Depending on your burner setting and the surrounding ambient temperature, the L.E.D lights (Page 28, Figure 34) for the fan will light up. The bottom L.E.D light (Figure 34F) is low speed setting, and middle L.E.
GAS CONVERSION INSTRUCTIONS Warning: Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician. Main burner orifices, front burner bushing, and gas conversion label are provided in conversion kit attached to manifold pipe. CONVERSION INSTRUCTIONS FROM (LP) PROPANE GAS TO NATURAL GAS 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Turn OFF gas supply and electrical power to fireplace. Remove lower front panel. Unscrew regulator stem from gas valve and reverse regulator stem to the natural gas position and screw stem back into gas valve.
GAS CONVERSION INSTRUCTIONS Warning: Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician. Main burner orifice(s) and new gas conversion label are provided in conversion kit attached to manifold pipe. CONVERSION INSTRUCTIONS FROM NATURAL GAS TO (LP) PROPANE GAS 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Turn OFF gas supply and electrical power to fireplace. Remove lower front panel. Unscrew regulator stem from gas valve and reverse regulator stem to the propane gas position and screw stem back into gas valve.
AUTOMATIC HUMIDIFIER OPERATION Most gas heaters dry out the air in the room. The Mantis has ingeniously solved this problem with an Automatic Humidifier. Gas contains moisture which is normally expelled out the flue or chimney after combustion. But the Mantis is so efficient by taking 92% of the heat out of the burnt gases that the moisture drops out and condenses in the back of the heater.
OPTIONAL REMOTE CONTROL THERMOSTAT An optional programmable Remote Control Thermostat can be fitted to the heater at the factory when ordered or even after the heater has been installed. See your Mantis dealer for correct type. Installation: The Remote Control can be installed by the owner of the heater if required. The Remote Control is a battery operated device, which requires a small amount of low voltage wiring. A wiring loom package is supplied by Empire Comfort Systems, Inc.
WIRING 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.
GENERAL INFORMATION Over Temperature Cut Out The Mantis Power-Vent High-Efficiency Fireplace is protected against overheating with a high temperature 80°C (176°F) cut off switch to protect the heat exchanger, plastic sump and flue fan. The high temperature cut off switch will automatically switch off the gas supply to the heater, if the temperature in the room where the heater is located reaches approximately 28°C (82.4°F). The heater will go into lock out mode.
MAINTENANCE 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. Insert a putty knife between glass and bottom corners on frame. Carefully separate glass from frame. Use putty knife to remove silicone and gasket material from frame. Surface of frame must be clean and dry. At each corner of frame apply two (2) three inch beads of high temperate (orange) silicone. With thin gasket on glass facing silicone on frame, insert glass into frame. Carefully press the glass onto frame in order to have contact between glass and silicone.
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.
LOG PLACEMENT If for any reason a log should need replacement, you must use the proper replacement log. Consult your Mantis dealer for correct replacement logs. Note: Improper positioning of logs can create carbon build up and will alter the unit’s performance and operation. Replacement logs must be installed and positioned as outlined on pages 16 through 17 under Log Installation.
SURROUND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. 2. 3. 4. Remove Fireplace Insert Surround assembly from carton, handle insert surround with care to avoid paint damage. Assembly Fireplace Insert Surround as per diagram with four (4) 10 x 1/2” screws supplied. Install surround assembly around fireplace. Install either slim or short top. Note: Top will hold surround in place.
PEDESTAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Optional Pedestal Assembly Installation 1. Remove pedestal assembly from carton. Handle pedestal with care to avoid paint damage. 2. Place pedestal assembly into position where heater is to be located. 3. Lift and place main body of heater on top of pedestal assembly and align main body of heater with locating tabs provided on pedestal assembly (refer to diagram).
