Locating Your Gas Fireplace; Glass Panels - ORTAL Clear 40 Tunnel, Clear RS Tunnel Installation & Operation Manual

Locating Your Gas Fireplace

When selecting a location for your fireplace
•
Ensure that the minimum clearances to combustible materials are met as outlined in the
next section.
•
Provide adequate clearances for servicing.
•
Minimum vent vertical and allowed horizontal lengths and number of bends must be
considered during the location selection for your fireplace.
The appliance must be installed on a flat, solid, continuous surface (e.g. wood, metal, concrete).
This may be the sub-floor or a raised platform to enhance its visual impact.

Glass Panels

5mm ceramic glass front and side panels.
Contact Ortal USA for replacement parts if required.
Silicon
1. Silicon comes pre-applied to any glass to glass connections (LS, RS, TS and SC
models), on both sides of the glass. If silicon is damaged, only then re-apply.
2. The purpose of the silicon is to create a seal. Be sure when placing glass panels
that glass is fully in place and the silicon is closing the space between the glass
panels. Place the front (or center) panel in place first and then slide the side panel
into place such that the silicon edge closes with the glass edge.
3. See Appendix C for information on silicon and/or contact ORTAL USA if silicon
is needed.
4. If new silicon is applied, cure time is 24 hours before operation of fireplace.
