Before You Begin - Mendota DXV-45 DT4 Installation & Operating Instructions Manual

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Read this entire manual before you use your new fireplace. Failure to follow the instructions may result in property dam-
age, bodily injury, or even death.
Intermittent Pilot Light and Standing Pilot Light Features
This gas fireplace is equipped with an electronic ignition System that first lights a pilot light then uses the pilot light to ignite
the main burners. The pilot light can be set in the "Standing Pilot" mode to allow the pilot light to remain on indefinitely by
toggling the "Standing Pilot Switch" to the ON position. If the "Standing Pilot Switch" is toggled to the OFF position, the
pilot light will only light and remain ON while the main fireplace burners are operating.
IPI Mode
This mode turns the pilot light "OFF" when the fireplace is not functioning and only lights the pilot light automatically when a
call for heat is made by the remote control.
Standing Pilot Mode
If the "Standing Pilot Switch" is toggled to ON, the pilot light will ignite and remain ON as long as the "Standing Pilot Light
Switch" is in the ON position.
NOTE: Mendota Fireplaces recommends that the Standing Pilot Mode be used during the winter months when
o
external temperatures fall below 50 F. This will keep the fireplace chimney heated for proper updraft during burner igni-
tion and it will also eliminate excessive condensation of exhaust vapors on the door glass. Further, leaving the fireplace in
the Standing Pilot Mode will keep the fireplace body warm and eliminate cold drafts and heat loss to the cold air that is
trapped inside the firebox.
