the manufacturer’s warranty and liabilities will be voided: Keep a record of these Check OFF guidelines for fu-

ture reference. Mendota may request a certified copy of these Check OFF lists to verify compliance to these printed guide-
lines.

proved person in accordance with instructions. All joints must be secured, "twist-locked" and
leak-proof. 1000

º

F sealant use is recommended on the inner pipe joints of DuraVent pipe

sections.



Horizontal or vertical vent cap must be installed "

right-side-up

" and tightly sealed to structure

per instructions. Vent Caps must be Mendota approved. Heat Shield must be installed on
Horizontal Vent Caps.



Clearances to combustibles requirements must be strictly adhered to.



Proper exterior and interior clearances for vent systems and locations for wall vent cap/roof
vent cap must be maintained.



Carefully check for correct gas pressure, proper size gas lines and for gas leaks.



local and national codes.

LIGHTING CHECK OFF LIST



All items on "Installation Check Off List" (see above) must be completed.



nect thermostat lead wires to these two wires and run to thermostat location.



Check air shutter opening - 1/16" to 1/8" Nat. gas or 1/4" Min. LP gas.



Carefully follow all Lighting and Log Installation Instructions.



Make certain that burner lights immediately and flame runs promptly around "curve" in burner
and lights entire burner. DO NOT proceed with operation unless burner cycles "on/off" with-
