  • Page 41: Automatic Humidifier Operation

    AUTOMATIC HUMIDIFIER OPERATION Most gas heaters dry out the air in the room. The Mantis has in- geniously solved this problem with an Automatic Humidifier. Gas contains moisture which is normally expelled out the flue or chimney after combustion. But the Mantis is so efficient by taking 92% of the heat out of the burnt gases that the moisture drops out and condenses in the back of the heater.
