GENERAL INFORMATION
Your Mendota Gas Fireplace Insert has a state-of-the-art direct vent, sealed combustion system. This advanced, highly
efficient system brings in outside air for combustion, has a separate exhaust vent and efficiently heats and re-circulates
room air. The Mendota system maintains high air quality, maximizes efficiency and assures proper operation.
SAFETY AND STRUCTURAL CONCERNS:
This Mendota FV-44i Fireplace Insert shall only be installed in an existing Masonry Wood Burning Fireplace or a Fac-
tory Built ZC Wood Burning Fireplace.
The FV-44i Fireplace Insert must be installed and serviced by a Mendota approved serviceperson. Any adjustments to
burner, pilot, logs or coal bed must be made by a Mendota approved service person. If pilot goes out, always wait
five (5) minutes before relighting pilot. The flame must not "lift" off the burner.
ALWAYS USE MENDOTA FACINGS, MENDOTA VENT SYSTEMS AND MENDOTA APPROVED VENT
CAPS. ONLY DOORS CERTIFIED WITH THE APPLIANCE SHALL BE USED.
A non-combustible hearth protector is required and must extend a minimum of 16" in front of the fireplace when this
insert is installed at floor level.
VENTING REQUIREMENTS
Use only Mendota specified vents and vent caps when installing your fireplace insert. All vent pipe sections must be
tight and leak proof.
HEATING PERFORMANCE
The Mendota FV-44i I Fireplace Insert is a true, high efficiency gas heater. The Mendota Insert will usually heat a large ar-
ea of your home if situated to maximize heat circulation.
NOTE: The Mendota Insert is designed as a supplemental heat
source. It should not be used as a whole house heating system. Supplemental air movement considerations for maximizing
heat circulation are: through-the-wall grills, floor grills, ceiling fans, or the continuous operation of central heating and cool-
ing blowers. The most EFFICIENT and successful method for overall heat distribution is a ceiling fan.
"Customer Infor-
mation". The heat output of the Insert can be reduced by using the down arrow on the Remote Control. Heat output can be
further reduced by turning off the rear burner using the remote control. The blowers can also be turned down to reduce
heat output.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
A 120-volt electrical service must be supplied at
the fireplace location at the time of installation
on the left side and connected to the color cod-
ed wires within the electrical junction box. Alter-
natively, you may also connect the 8 foot exten-
sion cord supplied with this fireplace to the junc-
tion box and use it as an AC power source.
This appliance must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes or in the absence
of local codes, with the National Electric Code
ANSI/NFPA 70-1987.
APPROVED MANTEL PROFILES
The existing Combustible Mantel must fall within
the approved mantel profile chart. If it does not,
either remove and relocate the combustible
mantel at an approved height or add a 20 gage
metal shield underneath the combustible mantel
that extends the full width and depth of the com-
bustible mantel. Provide a 1” active air space
between the metal shield and the bottom sur-
face of the combustible mantel. Use ceramic
spacers to create the 1” active air space.
