Interior Design Media; Media Placement Guidelines - ORTAL Front Facing Series Installation And Operation Manual

ORTAL offers interior media options such as stones, glass, logs and embers that can provided with the
fireplace unit. This section provides guidelines for safe placement of media.
WARNINGS – INSTALLING AND HANDLING MEDIA
•
DO NOT install the interior design media until appliance installation is complete, the gas line
is connected and tested for leaks, and initial burner operation has been inspected and
approved.
•
Media materials get very hot and will remain hot up to one hour after gas supply is turned
off. Handle media only when materials are cool.
•
If media is not installed according to the installation instructions, flame impingement and
improper combustion may occur and result in soot and/or excessive production of carbon
monoxide (CO). Carbon monoxide is a toxic, colorless, and odorless gas.
WARNING – The appliance is NOT designed to burn wood. Any attempt to do so could cause
irreparable damage to the appliance and may result in property damage, personal injury and/or loss of
life.

Media Placement Guidelines

When installing media, adhere to the following general guidelines:
•
Keep the media back from the pilot hood so at least one burner port is open. Otherwise, there
will be delayed ignition.
•
Do not use the hood to support media. This could cause overheating of the thermocouple.
•
Keep the media away from the edges and the glass.
•
Do not overfill the media tray. Keep 30% of the tray open to allow for air flow.
Glass Media Placement
•
When placing glass media, put only a single layer, and do not pack down. Once the media is
placed, go back and move the glass back slightly to open the ports:
