GENERAL INFORMATION

Your Mendota Gas Fireplace has a state-of-the-art co-axial direct vent, sealed combustion system. This advanced and 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 in today's "air-tight" homes.

SAFETY AND STRUCTURAL CONCERNS:

The FV41 Fireplace 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

attempting to relight pilot.

VENTING REQUIREMENTS:

This Mendota Fireplace can be vented using any available brand DIRECT VENT FRD[LDOSLSH´;´RIIWKHWRS8VHRQO\

Mendota specified vents and vent caps when installing your fireplace. Closely follow venting locations, directions and require-

ments. Observe the restrictions relating to vent position on exterior of home (see Figure 12). Be sure all vent pipe sections are

fully twist-locked and leak-proof. Be sure 1000º Silicate Stove Sealant is used on the inner pipe joints of all Simpson DuraVent

pipe components and all adjustable pipe sections.

The Mendota Direct Vent Fireplace may be placed within 18 inches of adjacent sidewalls. The fireplace may be placed directly

on concrete or wood flooring. If the appliance is to be installed on carpeting, vinyl or other combustible material other than wood

flooring, the appliance shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the appliance. An ´

combustible mantel may be installed at a minimum of 18" above top of the heat outlet (48´ up from the floor level of this fire-

place) and no more than 8" out from wall at that height. Non-combustible (marble, brick, stone, etc.) mantels can be installed at

any desired height above the top convection air opening. Combustible Mantels of any depth with a sheet metal protector plate in

its under-side may only be installed outside

WKH³121-&20%867,/%(=21(´DERYHWKHWRSFRQYHFWLRQDLURSHQLQJ

Never block off convection air openings or paths. Always use Mendota decorative fronts and Mendota approved vent systems

and vent caps.

A non-combustible hearth protector with a total insulation rating of R-1 is required when installing this fireplace directly on the

floor and must extend a minimum of 18" in front of the fireplace. For every 1 inch the fireplace is raised off the floor, the depth of

the hearth protector may be reduced by 2 inches. If fireplace is raised off the floor 6" or more, no hearth protector is required.

HEATING PERFORMANCE:

With its high heat output this Mendota Fireplace will heat a large area of your home if located properly to maximize heat/ air cir-

culation. Air movement options for maximizing heat circulation that can be considered are the continuous operation of central

heating furnace blowers or ceiling fans. The most efficient method for overall heat distribution within a single room is a

ceiling fan. The heat output of the Fireplace can be reduced to a low 13,000 BTUH by turning off the Rear Burner and reducing

flame height using the remote control. Blower can be turned down or turned off to reduce heat output.

AESTHETIC CONSIDERATIONS:

Burning or static fireplaces are a major aesthetic focus in any room. Locate your gas fireplace as you would a television set.

The Mendota Hearth Gas Fireplace will be a continuing source of comfort and fascination. Corner installations will afford you

the greatest potential for viewing in many rooms. We suggest installing this Mendota Fireplace a minimum of 12 inches above

the floor by utilizing an elevated hearth. This fireplace may be installed in an elevated position as long as 72 in. minimum dis-
