MAINTENANCE & SERVICE
Over Temperature Limit Switch
The Mantis Power-Vent High-Efficiency Fireplace is
protected against overheating with a high temperature
switch, which protects the heat exchanger, plastic sump
and inducer.
If the over temperature limit activates, the gas supply will
shut off and both the inducer and circulating air blower will
run. Once the heater cools down, the limit will reset and the
heater will operate normally.
Circulating Air Blower
The circulating air blower should be checked and cleaned
annually by a qualified service person to ensure that your
appliance 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 heat-
er. The heat exchanger should be inspected and cleaned
annually by a qualified service person.
Replacement Logs
If for any reason a log should need replacement, contact
your Mantis dealer for correct replacement logs. Replace-
ment logs must be installed and positioned as outlined on
Pages 25 to 26.
CAUTION
Proper positioning of the logs is critical to the safe
and clean operation of this heater. Sooting and other
problems may result if the logs are not properly and
firmly positioned in the appliance.
