Initial Operation and Flame Appearance

The following sections explain what to expect in initial and subsequent burning periods.

Initial Burning Period

Your ORTAL fireplace has been painted with a high quality, high temperature paint. It will give off an odor and
you may see some white smoke during the first few hours of operation. This is normal and harmless.
In order to fully cure the paint, please run the fireplace for 12 hours, at least 4 of them continuously. During this
process you will see a white buildup on the glass. This is normal and can easily be cleaned off by your dealer.
After the initial 12-hour burning period, contact your dealer to clean and check the gaskets. To ensure years of
trouble-free operation, have your dealer perform inspection and maintenance at least once a year.

Flame Effects

The appearance of the flame may vary depending on fuel type, altitude, venting and media placement.
You may notice moisture on the glass at start up. Please allow 15-20 minutes for your fireplace to achieve the
best look.
