MAINTENANCE
Required Annual Maintenance
The following procedures must be performed each year by a Mendota approved service person.
NOTE: Any adjustments to burner, pilot or logs must be done by a qualified Mendota service person.
1.
Clean all lint and dust build-up around the control. Inspect the condition of any wiring under the burner for melting or damage.
Clean flame sensor rod/hook using emery cloth. Vacuum all burner ports and pilot assembly.
Remove burner media (glass, rocks, logs, etc) and clean away any foreign matter (lint, Carbon, etc.) on the burner and media.
2.
Be sure the burner ports are "open". Clean the pilot and under side of the media for any Carbon deposits.
NOTE: Media should be visually checked for Carbon "build-up". If carbon deposits are visible on media, unit should be turned
off and Mendota service person contacted. Be sure media is re-installed per instructions.
3.
Check condition of glass door gasket, gasket must seal tightly over firebox, Inspect gasket along top and sides of glass. If gasket
at corners of glass are bulging outward or if gasket bulb along top edge or sides are discolored to a white color appearance
through the whole thickness of the gasket bulb, then replace the gasket. White colored gasket bulb indicates exhaust leak
through the discolored area and requires replacement of the glass gasket.
Periodic Inspections Required
1.
Check to verify that the vent system and vent cap are open and free of
blockage.
2.
Before re-installing glass, have qualified service person check the
operation of the pilot and cycle the burner per LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
(see Owner's Manual). Be sure all items in LIGHTING and
INSTALLATION "check off" lists are completed.
3.
The viewing glass should be cleaned periodically. Exterior glass surface
may be cleaned with cleaner as desired. To clean Interior glass surface,
use Kel Kem "polish plus" (part # 65-06-00455) or comparable
product. Do not use oven cleaner or abrasive cleaners to clean glass. Do
not clean when glass is hot.
4.
Periodic visual check of pilot flames is required. Pilot Flame must overlap
Flame Sensor and burner ignition ports at all times. Especially for LPG
applications, always verify visible pilot flame length is at least 1" long.
5.
Periodic visual check of main burner's rear and front flames is required.
