Normal Surface Temperatures
WARNING: The supplied barrier screen must be installed , always, when this fireplace is in operation. Do
not place any object directly in front (within
60”
from barrier screen surface ) or directly above (on the
front edge o f the mantel). This is a heat ing appliance. Areas directly in front and above this appliance will
be very hot and can damage most household objects if placed too close. Keep Furniture pieces at least
60”
away in front of the barrier screen surface.
HINT: To greatly reduce surface temperatures surrounding this Fireplace during operation, Mendota
recommends operating the integrated convection air blowers which aid in cooling all surrounding surfaces.
Mendota Fireplaces comply with ANSI Z21.88 Standards for maximum surface temperatures (ambient plus 117
o
F) on exposed
“combustible” sur
faces adjacent to the Fireplace.
Be aware that surfaces in front of, above and adjacent to this heater appliance can be too hot to touch. As long as all required
clearances to combustibles are met and the required finishing materials are used, this appliance will perform safely. Note that
the exposed surfaces immediately surrounding the Fireplace can have surface temperatures that are too hot to touch. This level
of surface temperature is considered normal and does not indicate any hazardous situation.
Hearth Pad Temperatures
New hearth protection pads installed are required to
have a thermal insulation value of R-1.
The top exposed surface of the noncombustible hearth
pads can reach a temperature that is too hot to touch
(as high as 250
o
F). This is considered normal.
Surround Face Temperatures
Areas of the breastplate directly above the top
convection air gap of this Fireplace can be very hot (too
hot to touch (exceeding 250
o
F)) and is deemed normal.
Mantel Temperatures
Mendota Fireplaces comply with ANSI Z21.88 standards
for maximum surface temperatures on exposed
“combustible” su
rfaces adjacent to the Fireplace. Be
aware that surface in front of, above and adjacent to
this heater appliance can be too hot to touch. As long as
all required clearances to combustibles are met and the
required finishing materials are used, this appliance will
perform safely. Note that the exposed surfaces
immediately surrounding the Fireplace can have a
surface temperature too hot to touch. This level of
surface temperatures is considered normal and does not indicate any hazardous situation.
