.....CAUTION.....
FOR YOUR SAFETY do not install or operate your Mendota Gas Fireplace Insert without first reading and understanding this
manual. Any installation or operational deviation from the following voids the Mendota Gas Fireplace Insert Warranty and may
prove hazardous:
Due to high temperatures, the Fireplace in which the Insert is to be installed should be located out of traffic and away from furni-
ture 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 Insert.
Clothing or other flammable material should not be placed on or near the Insert.
Mendota Inserts are designed for installation only in vented non-combustible fireplaces. Any fireplace in which an Insert is to be
installed MUST be vented to the outside in accordance with the latest addition of Natural Fuel Gas Code. Do not connect this
appliance to a chimney flue serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance. Any grill, panel or glass removed for servicing the
Insert MUST be replaced prior to operating the Insert.
The Mendota Gas Insert is a powerful, efficient heating unit. It has been designed as a major source of supplemental heat. It
should not take the place of, or be used as, a whole house heating system.
Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service person. The Insert should be inspected before use and at least annu-
ally by a professional Mendota approved service person. More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from car-
peting, bedding material, etc. It is imperative that control compartments, burners and air passageways be kept clean.
DO NOT use this insert if any part has been under water or exposed to moisture corrosion. Immediately call a qualified service
technician to inspect the Fireplace Insert and replace any part of the control system and any gas control, which has been under
water. DO NOT use this insert if burner does not light immediately. If burner does not light promptly, turn off unit and call your
Mendota dealer.
It is Johnson Gas Appliance Company's policy that no responsibility is assumed by the Company or by any of its employees or
representatives for any damages caused by an inoperable, inadequate, or unsafe condition, which is the result, either directly or
indirectly, of any improper operation or installation procedures.
