LOCATING THE STOVE
SAFETY AND STRUCTURAL CONCERNS:
The Mendota Direct Vent Freestanding Stove
must be installed and serviced by a qualified Mendota approved service
person. The Mendota Direct Vent Freestanding Stove
may be placed within 2" of a rear wall, within 10" of side walls,
within 1 1/2" of corner walls and 39" below an alcove ceiling [See Figure 2: Specifications & Clearances on page
5]. The Stove can be installed on any rigid floor construction. A metal or wood floor protector extending the full
width and depth of the Stove MUST be used when the Stove is installed on carpet, vinyl or any combustible surface
other than wood flooring.
The stove is equipped with a safety control system designed to protect against improper venting of combustion
products.
VENTING REQUIREMENTS:
Use only approved direct venting kits when installing your stove. Closely follow venting directions and
requirements (see
FLUE VENTING INSTRUCTIONS
starting on page 8). Observe the restriction relating to vent
position on exterior of home (see
Exterior Vent Locations
on page 7).
HEATING PERFORMANCE:
The Mendota Direct Vent Freestanding Stove is a true, high efficiency gas heater. With its heat input of 40,000
(35,000 L.P.) BTUH the Mendota Stove will heat a large area of your home if situated to maximize heat circulation.
NOTE: The Stove is a major source of supplemental heat.
Air movement options for maximizing heat circulation which can be considered are through-the-wall grills or floor
grills, or the continuous operation of central heating blowers or ceiling fans.
The most efficient and successful method for overall heat distribution is a ceiling fan - we recommend this method for the owner
who wishes to maximize hot air distribution and efficient utilization of heat.
The heat input of the Stove can be reduced by slowly turning the Hi/Lo temperature knob on the front of the gas valve
counterclockwise from "Hi" to "Lo". The blower can also be turned down or off.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS:
The blower requires a 115 volt electrical service supplied at the Stove location at the time of installation.
The blower 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 (CSA C22.1-Canadian Electrical Code) or most current edition. The blower is 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!
If an optional thermostat is being used, thermostat wire should be run from desired thermostat location (or "on/off" switch) to the
terminals located on back of pedestal--See optional thermostat installation section [See page 22]. An inlet hole is provided on
the rear of the pedestal for gas connection.
