AUTOMATIC HUMIDIFIER OPERATION
The Mantis Power-Vent High-Efficiency Fireplace has an automat
-
ic humidifier designed into the fireplace. As the fireplace operates,
condensate is created and is collected in a tank inside the fire
-
place. 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.
Note:
When the automatic humidifier is engaged and is transfer
-
ring the condensate, there may be a noticeable hissing sound.
This is normal, and the sound should persist for less than 30 sec
-
onds.
The amount of condensate created will vary based on several
factors including but not limited to location of fireplace, air tem
-
perature, length of venting, and whether the vent pipe is horizontal
or vertical. The humidifier will operate intermittently while the fire
-
place is operating.
While the condensate pump is transferring the condensate from the
tank to the tray, the humidifier L.E.D. light will illuminate during pump
operation. See Page 40, Figure 73. Once the condensate is trans
-
ferred, the light will turn off.
