Log Installation - Mendota SEABROOK D-30 Installation & Operating Instructions Manual

1. Carefully unpack 6-piece log set and bag of coals. NOTE: Logs are very fragile, handle with care.
2. Before installing glass door or logs, light pilot (See pg. 19) and cycle burner to make sure burner lights promptly
and that the flame runs smoothly around burner curve and lights entire burner.
3. With pilot operating, follow LOG INTALLATION STEPS 1-9, below.
4. Place coals on front coal tray ONLY! Be sure to "fill" entire front tray with coals for true "realistic" wood log fire
appearance. Coals must not block pilot or burner flame! (Additional coals may be scattered on firebox floor for
realism). Placement of coals has a big effect on front burner flame appearance and "glow" of coals.
More coals = less flame and more glow. Fewer coals = more flame, less "glow".
5.
Cycle on main burner to insure the flame smoothly runs around the curved section of the burner and lights front
burner with no delays. If there are any delays in ignition or flame movement it will be necessary to check for cor-
rect positioning of logs and coals (coals or logs must not block pilot flame or burner flame) and to check pilot
flame with millivolt meter (See Pg.30). Pilot flame must register a minimum of 450 millivolts. Check that flame
is "stable" and not "lifting" off burner. DO NOT proceed with operation unless entire burner lights immediately
and flame is not "lifting" off burner.
6. Reinstall glass. You can now proceed with normal daily operation. In daily operation main burner should always
be lit with Insert glass in place.
7. Heat can be reduced by turning Hi/Lo Knob on Gas Valve counterclockwise to desired gas input.
Blowers can also be turned down to reduce heat output.
NEVER "over fire" by increasing BTUH above nameplate specifications.
NEVER turn down pilot flame below required 450 millivolts.
NOTE: The Mendota Gas Fireplace Insert is designed to limit combustion air for maximum heating efficiency.
Because of this high efficiency design the realistic "orange" flame color may take 15-30 minutes to appear. When
the Fireplace Insert is first turned on the flame will be transparent or slightly "bluish". After about 15-30 minutes
of operation the logs will heat up and the gas flame will become a realistic yellow-orange color. (See "Air Shutter
Adjustment" page 29)
