GENERAL INFORMATION

Over Temperature Cut Out

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

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

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

Paint Curing - First Firing

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

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

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

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

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

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

MAINTENANCE

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