[PRE-INSTALLATION PREPARATIONS
A round fireplace can be installed with a cone or flat top. When a cone is installed, it must be
installed BEFORE installation of the fireplace begins (according to the installation instructions
on page 25 and depending upon the model of the selected cone.
[VENT PIPE AND CONE INSTALLATION
First install the vent pipe cone (see the relevant manual for your type of cone).
Thread the vent pipe inside the cone to the required length.
When the installation is complete, verify that the distance between the bottom of the cone and the floor is approximately 860mm (33 3/4 “).
NOTE: For all round fireplace models, the cone is must be suspended from the ceiling and NOT resting on the fireplace.
[GAS & ELECTRICITY SOURCE
Provide gas and electricity according to local code.
Electrical source –For fireplaces with double glass and blowers, you will need to connect the unit to a 110V/220V outlet.
NOTE: This manual describes the installation of the vent pipe cone and the fireplace assembly. Explanations regarding gas and vent
pipe installation are described in a separate Installation & Operation Manual.

[GRILL COVER
• Unpack the unit.
• Unscrew the 4 Phillips screws on the top of the unit.
• Lift the grill cover top up and away from the unit.
[DECORATIVE COVERS

[BURNER UNIT REMOVAL
• Carefully lift the burner unit by unscrewing 8 base plate
screws, and manually lift and remove the entire burner
plate upwards.
[PREPARATIONS
• Gently and securely rotate and position the fireplace
base on its side. It is recommended that you prepare
a soft material to place underneath the fireplace base
for protection.
[GAS VALVE
• The gas valve is screwed to one of the 4 fireplace legs
in the factory prior to shipping. Prior to attaching the
legs to the fireplace, choose the best location for the
gas valve and attach the leg/gas valve assembly to the
unit, as described below.
[FIREPLACE LEGS
• With the fireplace on its side, install the adjustable leg
fixtures to each one of the 4 legs underneath.
• Make sure the leg fixtures are fitted while the adjusting
screws are pointing to the fireplace center (inward
direction). This is important for height adjustment later
during the installation process.
• When complete, rotate the fireplace base to the upright
position so that it stands solidly on it’s the legs.

[FIREPLACE BASE INSTALLATION:
• Position the fireplace base centered underneath the vent pipe cone.
• Make sure there is gas and electrical access
underneath the fireplace base.

[Installation – Curved Fireplaces
[ LEG PLACEMENT:
• With the fireplace base centered under the vent pipe cone,
secure the legs to the floor with anchor screws.
Note: This step is important to avoid any fireplace
movement during use.
• After securing the leg fixtures to the floor,
release all adjustment screws to level the
fireplace.
• It is recommended to use a spirit level to determine the
base level in "X" and "Y" directions before tightening the
height adjustment screws.
NOTE: Perform the above installation process through
the burner base-plate hole on top.
[SAFETY GAP:
• Before tightening the fixture legs, make sure that there is
a safety gap of 6.35mm [1/4"] between the fireplace base
(skirt) to the floor.
Note: THIS IS AN IMPORTANT LPG SAFETY PRECAUTION.

line, and connect the gas pipe positioned between the
gas valve to the burner.
• Connect the electrical wiring to the burner controller
according to model specifications.
• Place the back the burner unit in position, and tighten
the 8 top screws to secure the burner.
• NOTE: Make sure the burner is properly seated while
the gas pipe and electrical wiring are correctly
positioned and attached underneath.

[GLASS TRIMS:
• Slightly release both flat glass panel trim screws to
allow easy installation for the next steps.
• NOTE: Do not disassemble the glass trims.
[ TOP COVER:
• Gently release both flat glass panel trim screws on
the top cover, and lift the trims by sliding them out
while the screws remain in place for easy installation
on the next step.
[ NOTES:
• Do not fully remove the screws.
• It is recommended that you perform this step while
the top cover is in an inverted (upside down)
position .

[ TOP COVER POSITION:
• Make sure the top cover and base are aligned during
the installation by lining up both the "V" position
marks on the fireplace top and base.

[VENT PIPE CONNECTION
Once the fireplace top cover is settled on the base, thread the vent
pipe segment into place.
Then, connect the bottom vent pipe segment to the top cover using
drill screws.

[Installation – Curved Fireplaces
14
[ TOP COVER POSITIONING:
Raise the top cover with the vent pipe segment up into the cone to a
height that allows the central glass panels to be inserted into place.
Attach the 3 or 4 support struts to symmetrically support the weight
of the top cover and vent pipe.
Lock the support struts in place to prevent the top cover from falling.
This is accomplished using the screws in the fireplace base and the
notches on the upper edge of each strut.

[Installation – Curved Fireplaces
15
[SECURING THE TOP COVER:
Take note of the height indicators on the back of the top cover support
struts. You will need to adjust the length of the struts to accompany the
various steps of installation of the fireplace:
Position 1: High
Position 2: Middle
Position 3: Low
IMPORTANT: Make sure that you secure the top cover throughout the entire installation
process to avoid collapse.
• For your safety, remember that the round fireplace
structural integrity is achieved only when all glass
panels are installed and secured in their correct
position!

[GLASS PANEL INSTALLATION:
• Firmly grasp the top cover from above and gently
install the flat glass panel in the bottom trim while
centering the glass, and tighten into position.
• Make sure the glass panel edges do not exceed the
fireplace outer base circumference. This enables the
outer-curved glass installation in the next steps.
• Slightly tighten the bottom trim screws to retain the
glass panel in position.
• Repeat with the opposite flat glass panel.

[Installation – Curved Fireplaces
17
[ TOP COVER POSITIONING:
• While holding both flat glass panels parallel and
perpendicular to the base, lower and position the top
cover to rest on top of the glass edges.
• Before lowering the top cover, adjust the height of
the legs if necessary to ensure that the entire unit is
level. Make sure that the legs are tightly fastened in
position 2 (see above) before continuing.
• Make sure the glass panels are isolated using a high
temperature seal.
• Vertically position the glass panels against the top
trims fixed side.

[Installation – Curved Fireplaces
18
[FLAT GLASS PANEL INSTALLATION:
• While the cover is positioned on top of the flat glass,
make sure that the high temperature seal is still in
place, and attach the top trim to the correct position.
• Make sure that the glass panel edges do not exceed
the outer top cover circumference. This enables the
outer curved glass installation in the next steps.

[Installation – Curved Fireplaces
19
[ TOP GRILL INSTALLATION:
• After securing the 2 internal flat glass panels and
before continuing with the curved glass installation
process, return the grill cover to the correct location,
and secure it with the 4 Phillips screws.
NOTE: Perform this step carefully to avoid damage to the
glass panels.

[CURVED GLASS PANEL INSTALLATION:
• Note: This installation step is important for optimal
product presentation.
• Gently release the outer glass bracket screws to allow
the easy insertion of the first curved glass panel.
• To enable insertion of the firsts curved glass panel,
you will need to temporarily remove the support strut
that is closest to the glass panel insertion point.
• Make sure that the front curved glass panel is
centered and positioned.
• With the first curved glass panel in position, insert
the top cover glass bracket and tighten it slightly so
that it securely grasps the glass.
• [NOTE: Lift all top cover glass brackets before
starting this step.
• Use only one top cover glass bracket for each glass
panel until all 3 panels are in place. This allows for
easier adjustments. The remaining brackets can be
added later to complete the process.
• Position the ORTAL logo plate to point to the fireplace
front.
