Working With Glass Panels - ORTAL 40 Series Installation And Operation Manual

Working with Glass Panels

5mm ceramic glass front and side panels are provided. Contact Ortal for replacement parts if required. 3/16
tempered glass exterior panels can be sourced locally.
Silicone comes pre-applied to any glass-to-glass connections (LS, RS, TS and SC models), on both sides of the glass.
Keep the following guidelines in mind when handling silicone and glass panels:
The purpose of the silicone is to create a gasket, not to "glue" the glass panels together. When placing glass panels,
ensure that the glass is fully in place and that the silicone is filling the space between the glass panels. Place the front
(or center) panel in place first and then slide the side panel into place so that the silicone edge touches the glass
edge.
•
Re-apply silicone only if the original silicone is damaged (Rutland 500˚ Clear Silicone is recommended).
•
If new silicone is applied, cure time is 24 hours before operation of the fireplace.
•
Do not use silicone to seal the glass after it is in place.
•
Always use appropriate materials and cleaning agents to clean glass. Ammonia free glass cleaners and/or
ceramic glass cleaners are recommended.
