OVER FIRING OR UNDER FIRING OF BURNER
NEVER "over fire"
or “under
-
fire”
units by increasing or decreasing the main orifice sizes or by adjusting gas pressure to increase
BTUH above nameplate specifications.
Over firing can cause permanent damage to firebox and deterioration of parts and void the warranty.
Under-firing can potentially cause delayed ignition and lead to property loss and person injury and will void the warranty.
If you are using a “backyard” Natural Gas well as the gas source, you must submit formal gas analysis data
sheets to Mendota Fireplaces for review and calculation of proper main burner orifice sizes prior to first
firing
. It is known that unpurified Natural Gas from “backyard” wells can contain high energy levels causing
over firing. Further, unpurified gas can contain high levels of Sulphur and other compounds which can
damage the burner materials and the cerami c glass. Use of unpurified gas will void the warranty for this
product.

PILOT OUTAGE AND RE-LIGHTING
If pilot goes out, be sure to wait a minimum of five minutes before attempting to re -light the pilot. If pilot
outage occurs frequently, contact you Mendot a Dealer for diagnosing the problem.
Frequent pilot outages can be caused by many factors and must be properly diagnosed, and the primary cause identified. It
should never be assumed that the ignition control system is faulty without proper diagnosis.

BURNER FLAME HEIGHTS REFERENCE DIAGRAM
Figure 6-2 Burner Flame Heights:
This image provides a visual reference for the burner flames burning at maximum height
after the burners have been operating for 30 minutes or longer. A normal rear flame will be 1 to 2 inches above the rear log
top edge. This, however, is dependent on the gas type, air shutter opening setting and vent system configuration. Actual flame
heights can be slightly higher or lower when compared to this reference image.
