INITIAL STARTUP INFORMATION AND ADVICE
INITIAL BURN CYCLE:
During the first burn cycle (approximately for3 hours), it is normal for this appliance to emit visible
smoke and some odor. The smoke generated is a mixture of paint curing, lubricating oils burn off, glass gasket adhesive
curing and ceramic sealant gaskets curing. The smoke generated can trigger smoke and fire alarms. It is recommended to
open all door and windows during initial cure cycle.
PAINT CURING CYCLE RECOMMENDATION
: It is recommended that you run this Fireplace on maximum flame height
with the Convection Blowers turned OFF, for 1 cycle of 2 hours ON and 2 hours OFF, initially, to cure the paint and expel
any burn off odors. Expect small amounts of visible smoke and smell during curing cycle. Open all door and windows dur-
ing initial cure cycle.
BLOWER BREAK-IN PERIOD
: The integrated blowers in this Insert may exhibit some bearing noise and electrical static
noise during the first few hours of operation. This is normal during the break-in period. The burner flames must be on dur-
ing these cycles.
Proper Paint Types Approved for use
Industrial Acrylic Paints, Alkyd based Paints. When selecting Paint for applications on facings, mantels, corbels or floors
within 2 feet in front of a fireplace raised 6” or higher, avoid off the shelf Paints which may have modifier additives used to
increase “hiding” ability, accelerate drying times and curing times. Consult with a reputable Paints and Sealants supplier
and acquire Industrial Acrylic Paints or Alkyd based Paints.
Proper Sealants Type Approved for use
Heat resistant polyurethane sealants which are not damaged by prolonged exposure to raised temperatures. Many are flame
resistant, meaning that they resist ignition when exposed to high temperatures and can insulate the substrate and delay damage
to it. When selecting polyurethane for applications on facings, mantels, corbels or floors within 3 feet in front of a fireplace, avoid
off the shelf urethane Sealants which may have modifier additives used to accelerate drying times and curing times. Consult with
a reputable Paints and Sealants supplier and acquire Heat Resistant Polyurethane Sealants.
Additional Application Cautions
:
If wood used around or in front of the fireplace has been chemically cleaned or bleached prior to staining or painting, it is
of the utmost importance to make certain that the cleaner or bleach does not remain in the wood substrate under the final
paint or sealant applied. If any cleaner or bleach remain within the wood structure, application of heat from the fireplace,
even low level heat, will cause the cleaner or bleach compounds to expand or evaporate causing separation of the paint
or sealant from the wood surface and may cause peeling or bubbling of the paint or sealant.
Moisture Content of the wood substrate is also of critical importance. High moisture content wood when heated will yield
evaporation of the moisture and hydraulic pressure under the paint or sealants which can lead to peeling or bubbling. Al-
ways select the lowest moisture content wood substrate.
*** Note - the following are General Guidelines for all wood flooring and wood mantels or trims installed around Mendota
Fireplace to control the moisture content in the wood substrate before application of Paints or Sealants. Store the wood
substrate in an environment with 60-75 degrees F and 35-55% relative humidity levels for a minimum of 48 hours before
applying the Paint or Sealant.
