Locating The Fireplace And General Information - Mendota DXV-45 DT3-LX Operating Instructions Manual

LOCATING THE FIREPLACE AND GENERAL INFORMATION

Your Mendota Gas Fireplace has a state-of-the-art co-axial direct vent, sealed combustion system. This advanced, 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.
SAFETY AND STRUCTURAL CONCERNS:
The DXV Fireplace must be installed and serviced by a Mendota approved service person. Any adjustments to burner,
pilot, logs or coal bed must be made by a Mendota approved service person. Pilot flame must be checked with voltmeter.
Pilot flame must register a minimum of 250 on mill volt meter. If pilot goes out always wait five (5) minutes before relight-
ing pilot. Always remove the glass door when lighting the pilot. The burner must light immediately & the flame must travel
promptly and smoothly around "curve" and light entire burner. The flame must not "lift off" burner. All vent pipe sections
must be "twist locked" and leak proof.
The Mendota Direct Vent Fireplace may be placed within inches of adjacent sidewalls. (See FIGURE 1 on pg. 8). The
fireplace may be placed directly on concrete or wood flooring. If the appliance is to be installed on carpeting, vinyl or oth-
er 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. Combustible mantels must be installed as per FIGURE 1 on pg. 4. Non-
combustible (marble, brick, stone, etc.) mantels or mantels with steel protector plate on underside maybe installed at any
desired height above upper grill.
NEVER BLOCK OFF UPPER OR LOWER GRILLS. ALWAYS USE MENDOTA GRILLS, MENDOTA APPROVED VENT
SYSTEMS AND MENDOTA APPROVED VENT CAPS. SEE PAGEA 8-15 FOR SPECIFIC VENTING INFORMATION.
KEEP ELECTRONIC APPLIANCES AWAY: DUE TO THE HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE VICINITY OF THIS
FIREPLACE, MENDOTA RECOMMENDS THAT ALL ELECTRONIC APPLIANCES INCLUDING AUDIO/VIDEO
APPLIANCES AND THEIR RECORDING MEDIA (ie. TV, VCR, DVD PLAYER, CD PLAYER, TUNERS, TELEPHONES,
CASSETTE TAPES, VIDEO TAPES, CDs, DVD CDs) BE KEPT WELL AWAY FROM THIS FIREPLACE.
VENTING REQUIREMENTS:
Use only Mendota specified vents and vent caps when installing your fireplace. Closely follow venting locations, direc-
tions and requirements (see pages 10-17). Observe the restrictions relating to vent position on exterior of home (see pg.
10).
