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 ofoperation. 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 onthe glass at start up. Please allow 15-20 minutes for your fireplace to achieve the
best look.

Cleaning and Maintenance
The following sections describe how to care for your ORTAL fireplace.
Routine Care
Exterior parts of the fireplace should be cleaned as necessary with a dry, lint-free cloth and a non-ammonia glass
cleaner. Never use scouring powder, aggressive cleaners or ammonia cleaners on your fireplace.
Allow the fireplace to cool down completely before cleaning.
The recommended frequency of cleaning depends on the degree of dirt buildup. Infrequent cleaning can cause
the glass to become dull and more difficult to clean.
DO NOT OPEN THE GLASS. For all other cleaning or maintenance, contact your ORTAL dealer.
CRACKED OR BROKEN GLASS:
If the glass becomes cracked or broken, do NOT operate the fireplace and call your ORTAL dealer
immediately to replace the glass.
Broken ceramic heat-resistant glass may not be placed in a glass recycling container. Dispose of it in your
normal household waste.
Annual Maintenance
To ensure continued safe operation of your fireplace, it is essential that the appliance, the flue and the burner air
intake be inspected and cleaned by an ORTAL dealer at least once a year.
