AUTOMATIC HUMIDIFIER OPERATION
The Mantis Power-Vent High-Efciency Fireplace has an auto-
matic humidier designed into the heater. As the heater operates,
condensate is created and is collected in a tank inside the heater.
The condensate pump will take the condensate that is collected
and pump it to a stainless steel tray where it evaporates into the
airstream. Humidity is then restored into the space.
Note: When the automatic humidier 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 fac-
tors including but not limited to location of heater, air temperature,
length of venting, and whether the vent pipe is horizontal or verti-
cal. The humidier will operate intermittently while the heater is
operating.
While the condensate pump is transferring the condensate from
the tank to the tray, the humidier L.E.D. light will ash during pump
operation. See Page 31, Figure 57. Once the condensate is trans-
ferred, the light will turn off.
