VENTING REQUIREMENTS WARNING This fireplace 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 fireplace into a fireplace chimney or building chase. WARNING Upon completion of the installation, carefully inspect the entire flue system to assure it is properly sealed.
PAGE 12
VENTING REQUIREMENTS 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, Armaflex-type insulation or equivalent. Insulating pipe is important to avoid condensate icing. For proper operation, the flue exhaust must extend 6 inches from the outside wall before applying an elbow. 6” MIN. 12” MAX.

START UP CHECK LIST WARNING BEFORE OPERATING THIS Fireplace, CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Verify the gas line service does not exceed 10.5 in. w.c. and is not below 5.0 in. w.c. for natural gas, nor exceeds 13.0 in. w.c. or is below 11.0 in. w.c. for LP gas. Check and inspect the fireplace for gas leaks. In the event of gas leaks, cut off the gas supply to the fireplace immediately and call your gas supplier. Verify the gas line has been purged.
PAGE 38
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.
PAGE 39
START UP AND ADJUSTMENTS A. With main electrical power to the fireplace turned off, install 4 AA sized 1.5V batteries into the remote receiver. The remote receiver is located inside the fireplace, mounted to the top of the blower housing and secured with hook and loop tape. See Figure 70. Set up receiver and remote per instructions on pages 41 - 46. RECEIVER LOCATION ADJ. LEARN OFF REMOTE ON Figure 70 B.
PAGE 40
START UP AND ADJUSTMENTS Sequence of Operations – One Burner Only 1. The Display Panel will be energized, and the light for either the front burner or back burner will flash, corresponding to which burner switch is activated. 2. The inducer will activate immediately and will prove the pressure switch within 16 seconds. This will initiate the ignition sequence. 3. The igniter (HSI) will energize and start to glow red. 4. Within 3 to 5 seconds, the gas valve will open and ignite the burner.

FRBTC REMOTE INSTRUCTIONS INTRODUCTION This remote control system was developed to provide a safe, reliable and user-friendly remote control system for gas heating appliances. This all battery system operates independently of household current. The system operates on radio frequencies with a non-directional signals. The SYSTEM’s operating range is approximately 20 feet.
PAGE 42
FRBTC REMOTE INSTRUCTIONS SETTING °F / °C SCALE The factory setting for temperature is °F. To change this setting to °C, first • Press the ON key and the OFF key on the transmitter at the same time this will change from °F to °C. Follow this same procedure to change from °C back to °F. MANUAL FUNCTION To operate the system in the manual “MODE” does the following. ON OPERATION Press the ON key the fireplace flame will come on.
PAGE 43
FRBTC REMOTE INSTRUCTIONS OPERATIONAL NOTES: The Thermostat Feature on the transmitter operates the fireplace 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 fireplace may be 2-4 times per hour depending on how well the room or home is insulated from the cold or drafts. The factory setting for the “swing number” is 2.
PAGE 44
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 fireplace, 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.
PAGE 45
FRBTC REMOTE INSTRUCTIONS THERMOSTAT SAFETY FEATURE – RECEIVER (T/S –RX) This ECS remote control has a THERMOSTAT 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 THERMOSTAT SAFETY feature, in the RECEIVER, operates in the following manner, when the fireplace is in operation.
PAGE 46
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 annually. 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.
PAGE 47
AUTOMATIC HUMIDIFIER OPERATION The Mantis Power-Vent High-Efficiency Fireplace has an automatic humidifier designed into the fireplace. As the fireplace operates, condensate is created and is collected in a tank inside the fireplace. 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.
PAGE 48
OPTIONAL CONTROLS Economy Mode (Red Button Operation) To utilize this feature, a programmable control or thermostat must be connected to the fireplace. A red button is located next to the burner switches on the front control panel. See Figure 75. This is called the economy mode. FRONT BURNER SWITCH ECONOMY DISPLAY BUTTON Battery Operated Controls This unit is equipped with a factory installed wireless remote. All Remote Controls are all battery operated devices.
PAGE 49
MAINTENANCE & SERVICE The Mantis should be inspected and serviced annually by a qualified service person. This will ensure that the fireplace is operating safely and efficiently. 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 film may form on the glass. It is recommended to clean the glass with gas fireplace glass cleaner.
PAGE 50
MAINTENANCE & SERVICE Circulating Air Blower The circulating air blower should be checked and cleaned annually by a qualified service person to ensure that your fireplace is operating efficiently. Any dirt or lint can affect the operation of the blower. Heat Exchanger The heat exchanger is located on the backside of the fireplace. The heat exchanger should be inspected and cleaned annually by a qualified service person.
PAGE 51
MAINTENANCE & SERVICE RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE FREQUENCY OF MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE ITEM Verify the area is free from combustible materials. MONTHLY BY HOMEOWNER ANNUALLY BY SERVICE PERSON X X Verify the combustion and ventilation air is not restricted. X Verify the flue and inlet pipes do not have any cracks or holes. X Verify burner flame. X Clean the blower compartment X Clean the burner. X Verify the condensate system is clean and leak free.
