CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Grace Kits for the FV46 fireplace may be removed for cleaning purposes or prior to removing the
Fireplace Glass Door for maintenance purposes.
2. Clean Decorative Courtesy Screen Grace. If painted, simply wipe with a dry soft cloth. If a plated finish,

ABRASIVE MEDIA TO WIPE.
ANTIQUE COPPER KITS HANDLING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
These Instructions are applicable to ALL Mendota Antique Copper Plated Decorative
Products produced and released for use after August 10, 2010.
HANDLING DURING ASSEMBLY
This new Antique Copper Kit has been thoroughly redesigned for ease of cleaning and handling and for long
term use without change in color or the formation of oxidation. While the new Antique Copper Plating is
resistant to tarnish, oxidation and discoloration, it is susceptible to surface scratches and marring and must be
handled with extreme care during installation and normal use.
ALWAYS WEAR SOFT & CLEAN CLOTH GLOVES DURING INSTALLATION
It is mandated by Mendota that all installers wear soft and clean cloth gloves to handle ALL Antique Copper
Plated parts during assembly to the main Fireplace body.
CLEAN UP AFTER INSTALLATION
Prior to firing the appliance with the Antique Copper Kit installed, Mendota mandates that the entire visible
surface of the Antique Copper Kit be wiped down using a soft cotton cloth rag and common household glass
cleaner solution. DO NOT USE PAPER TOWELS AND DO NOT APPLY PRESSURE on the Antique Copper
Surface when wiping. Doing so may mar the Copper Finish. Use gentle sweeps in the direction of the brush
marks to remove any dirt or finger prints.
NORMAL MAINTENANCE
This new Antique Copper Plated Decorative Kit requires minimal maintenance. Wipe off any finger prints using
normal household glass cleaner solution and a soft cotton cloth rag. DO NOT apply pressure on the Antique
Copper Kit when wiping. Doing so may mar the Copper Finish. Use gentle sweeps in the direction of the brush
marks to remove any dirt or finger prints.
ALWAYS WEAR SOFT CLEAN CLOTH GLOVES!
DO NOT USE ANY ABRASIVE MEDIA!
DO NOT USE PAPER TOWELS TO WIPE THE SURFACE!
DO NOT APPLY ANY PRESSURE WHILE CLEANING!
DO NOT SAND ANY ANTIQUE COPPER FINISH!
