CAUTION
Due to high temperatures, the Fireplace should be located out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies. Children
and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperature and should stay away to avoid burns or clothing
ignition. Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room as the Mendota Gas Fireplace.
Clothing or other flammable material should not be placed on or near the Fireplace.
Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing an appliance must be replaced prior to operating this appliance.
The Mendota Gas Fireplace is a powerful and efficient heating unit. It has been designed as a major source of supple-
mental heat. As with any mechanical appliance there can be component shut downs. It is advisable to have an alternate
heat supply.
Installation, repair and any adjustments to logs or burner must be done by a qualified service person. The appliance
should be inspected before use and at least annually by a professional service person. More frequent cleaning may be
required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, carbon build-up, etc. It is imperative that control compart-
ments, burners and circulating air passageways of the appliance be kept clean. The burner and pilot flames and logs
should be visually checked periodically.
DO NOT use this appliance if any part has been under water or exposed to moisture corrosion. Immediately call a quali-
fied service technician to inspect the Fireplace and replace any part of the control system and any gas control, which has
been under water. DO NOT use this fireplace if the burner does not light immediately. Turn unit off and call Mendota ap-
proved service person if there is any delay in burner light off.
It is Johnson Gas Appliance Company's policy that no responsibility is assumed by the Company or by any of its employ-
ees or representatives for any damages caused by an inoperable, inadequate, or unsafe condition which is the result, ei-
ther directly or indirectly, of any improper operation, installation or servicing procedures.
