OPTIONAL BURNER MEDIA KITS
ML-47 LINEAR FIREPLACE
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Introduction:
The Optional Burner Media available for the Mendota ML-47 are designed and created to be heat resistant when
placed directly on top of the main burner. Different media types may be mixed together to create attractive
presentations.
WARNING: Never use media that is smaller than ½” diameter. Do not use common crushed glass media.
Common soda lime glass is not heat resistant and will discolor and break apart. This can result in the burner
ports being plugged which can lead to poor combustion, poor flame presentation and possible delayed ignition
hazards.
HINT: The flame appearance shapes and flame color quality change dramatically with the amount of base media
placed on top of the burner and media placed over the combustion air slots behind the burner and in front of the
burner. Flame appearance is always better if sparse media is used.
Burner Top Color: To provide for extended burner lifetime, the burner top material is selected to be 304
Stainless Steel. High temperature powder paint or liquid spray paint do not adhere to 304 Stainless Steel readily.
For this reason, the burner top is left bare and unpainted. If you wish, you may use Stove Bright High
Temperature Spray Paint to touch up the burner top, while understanding that the paint may only temporarily
remain on the burner. This is strictly a cosmetic option that you may use.
Installation Instruction:
1. Install the burner floor plate (Burner Airbox) and one Panoramic Curved Liner inside the firebox per
instructions included with the Panoramic Curved Liner Kit.
a) Glass Media (3/4” diamond clear, ¾” diamond black, ½” diamond clear, ½” round clear, ½” round
black): You may mix different size, shape and different color glass media. Spread liberally over the top
of the burner but very sparingly over the combustion air slots located behind and in front of the burner.
Attractive combination options are:
I. A base layer of ¾” clear diamond with a 2-3 inch wide second layer of ½” diamond clear on top
II. A base layer of ¾” black diamond with a second layer of ½” diamond randomly dispersed as a
second layer.

b) Natural Rock Media: Spread randomly over the top of the burner but very sparingly over the combustion

combustion air slots located behind and in front of the burner. Create random multi level layers with
rocks in random positions.
