GENERAL TECHNICAL REFERENCES
Caution
: Before igniting the pilo t or burner, perform the following inspections and verifications:
Check glass gasket seal. Visually inspect glass gasket, especially at the corners of the glass piece. Glass gasket is installed as a 4-
piece assembly. Check joints between the gasket pieces at the corners. They should butt against each other to create a seal.
Gaps between gasket pieces can cause exhaust leaks and lead to acrid smell concerns. Check for gas leaks at all fittings.
During the first burning cycle of this Fireplace, ensure the convection blower is running at level three during the first two hours
of initial burn. After two hours of initial burn, allow fireplace to cool.
Proceed with
Mendota Fireplace Curing Instructions,
Chapter 3.1.1.
This fireplace must be installed and serviced by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier. Any adjustments to
burner, pilot, logs or coal bed must be made by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.
If ignition system goes into lockout mode, always wait 5 minutes before attempting to re-light.
Never block off convection air openings or paths. Trim panels or surrounds shall not seal ventilation openings in the fireplace.
Always use Mendota decorative fronts and Mendota approved vent systems and vent caps only.
Keep the flue warm
It is required to activate the Standing Pilot Mode to leave the pilot light running during winter months when outside daily high
temperatures remain 50
o
F or lower. Doing so will eliminate heat loss from the home through the Fireplace glass door and will
increase flue draft during startups and will aid in eliminating system lock out.
