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
convection 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 to 47 - Maintenance).

GENERAL INFORMATION
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
available 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
yellow 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
special touch up paint available from your Mantis Dealer.
