GENERAL INFORMATION
Your Mendota Gas Fireplace Insert has a state-of-the-art direct vent, sealed combustion system. This ad-
vanced, highly efficient system brings in outside air for combustion, has a separate exhaust vent and effi-
ciently heats and re-circulates room air. The Mendota system maintains high air quality, maximizes efficiency
and assures proper operation.
SAFETY AND STRUCTURAL CONCERNS:
The FV-44i Fireplace Insert must be installed and serviced by a Mendota approved serviceperson. Any ad-
justments 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 area of your home if situated to maximize heat circulation.
NOTE:
The Mendota Insert is designed as a sup-
plemental heat source. It should not be used as a whole house heating system. Supplemental air movement con-
siderations for maximizing heat circulation are: through-the-wall grills, floor grills, ceiling fans, or the continuous
operation of central heating and cooling blowers. The most EFFICIENT and successful method for overall heat dis-
tribution is a ceiling fan.
"Customer Information". The heat output of the Insert can be reduced by using the down
arrow on the Remote Control – see pg. 23. Heat output can be further reduced by turning off the rear burner us-
ing 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.
The blowers 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. The blowers are equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug
for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong
receptacle.
DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG FROM THIS PLUG!
