Mendota Fireplace Curing Instructions
ATTENTION
It is important that the blowers are turned on during this step to prevent the curing smoke from staining the
wall finish above the fireplace. Mendota recommends completing Step 1 prior to install ation of wall finish
materials.
Visible smoke and strong odor are to be expected during this step. If desired, disable smoke alarms before
this step, smoke from the initial curing c ycle will set off smoke alarms. Open doors and windows of the home
to circulate fresh air.
Step 1: Expelling Initial Smoke and Odors
•
Please refer to
OPERATING INFORMATION, if you have questions on how to operate your Mendota.
•
Complete the installation of any barrier screen (required), surround, front or doors.
•
Turn the fireplace on in the Manual (Off) thermostat mode.
•
Set the Flame Height to Hi.
•
Set the Fan Speed Control to Level 3.
•
Run the fireplace with these settings for a minimum of 2 hours.
•
Turn the fireplace off and let it cool.
Step 2: High Heat Curing Cycle
•
Turn the fireplace on in the Manual (Off) thermostat mode.
•
Set the Flame Height to Hi.
•
Set the Fan Speed Control to Off.
•
Run the fireplace with these settings until curing odors have diminished.
•
When odors have diminished leave the fireplace turned on and continue to Step 3.
Step 3: Final Curing Cycle
•
With the fireplace still turned on from Step 2.
•
Set the Fan Speed Control to the lowest setting Level 1.
•
If any new curing odors are detected, continue to run the fireplace with this setting until the curing odors have
diminished.
ATTENTION
: Slight odors may still be noticeable on future startups of the fireplace. These will diminish over time as the
fireplace is used.
Additional Curing Information
It is not unusual for a fireplace to require more than 10 continuous hours on high for curing odors to diminish. There are
variables that can extend or shorten the curing time such as decorative fronts, doors, facing materials and their application.
Finish materials around the fireplace are subject to high temperatures. Finishing materials used over the fireplace in the non-
combustible zone can see temperatures around 350° F. Materials used around the fireplace must be rated for these
temperatures. Failure to use adequate materials can result in odor problems.
Please be aware that materials used around the fireplace will heat up and have the potential to cause odor issues. Adhesives,
glue, wall substrate, wall finish material, paints and polishes are common materials that if used incorrectly will cause odor
issues. Mendota is not responsible for any odor issues caused by materials used around the fireplace.
