Installation
Installation, replacement, gas piping, gas utilization equipment or
accessories, and the repair and service of this equipment must
be performed by a qualified agency. The term “qualified agency”
means any individual, firm, corporation or company which either in
person or through a representative is engaged in and is respon-
sible for (a) the installation or replacement of gas piping or (b) the
connection, installation, repair or servicing of equipment, who is
experienced in such work, familiar with all precautions required
and has complied with all the requirements of the authority having
jurisdiction.
• This installation must conform with local codes, or in the
absence of local codes, the National Fuel Gas Code,
NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1.
• This 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.
• Provide adequate clearances around the fireplace for servic -
ing and ensure there are no obstructions to the combustion air
intake situated at the back of the fireplace. Refer to Pages 24
to 28.
• The Mantis Power-Vent High-Efficiency Fireplace must be in -
stalled on a flat, solid continuous surface (i.e. wood, metal,
concrete). Rough or uneven surfaces can cause vibration or
humming in the fireplace.
• This appliance does need to be installed in such a way where
the fireplace can be removed for servicing the heat exchanger
and the flue that are located in the rear section of the fire -
place.
• 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. For an ungrounded receptacle, purchase an
adapter with two prongs and a wire for grounding.
Note: Under no circumstances should the appliance be installed
under conditions that would not allow for easy removal of
the appliance to carry out routine inspection and service
to the appliance.
Note: Where a mantel surround is being used on insert installa-
tions and zero clearance fireplace installations, the com -
bustion air intake slot located in the top mantel surround
must not be obstructed. This will allow combustion air to
enter through the slot to the combustion air inlet located
at the back of the fireplace.
Note: During initial firing of this fireplace, residual oil from the
heat exchanger may bake off and smoke may occur.
Provide adequate ventilation to the area where the fire -
place is installed to prevent triggering of smoke alarms.
Refer to page 33 for more detail.
