  • Page 22: General Information

    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 FV34 Fireplace must be installed and serviced by a Mendota approved serviceperson.
