This appliance has a ceramic Fire bed arrangement; this contains
Refractory Ceramic Fibres, which are man made vitreous silicate fibres.
Excessive exposure to these materials can cause irritation to eyes, skin and
respiratory organs. Hence we recommend that when handling these
materials the release of dust should be kept to a minimum. During
installation and servicing we recommend that a HEPA filtered vacuum be
used to remove any dust and soot in and around the fire. If any of the
ceramic fire bed components need to be replaced we recommend that the
removed parts be sealed in a heavy duty polythene bag, and be labelled as
RCF waste. RCF is not "Hazardous waste" and can be disposed of at a
licensed tipping site for the disposal of industrial waste.
The appliance incorporates a permanent pilot. This is located on the front
of the burner, and must not be adjusted by the installer. This system must not
be put out of operation, and if any parts require changing, only original
manufacturer parts shall be used.
This appliance is designed to be used either Natural or LPG gas however,
each individual appliance is only capable of running off the type of gas
specified at the time of purchase. It is important to note that once a type of
gas has been specified the stove cannot run off any other type. The type of
gas that your stove is capable of burning is stated on the data information
panel.
This appliance has been designed, tested and approved to meet standards in
place for product use, performance and safety. Installation of your appliance
must comply with current building regulations. It is therefore recommend
that a registered gas installer be employed for this task. The engineer will
provide you with information about the safety limits of the installation and
should fix a notice plate in a place where it can be readily seen.
This appliance is designed as an efficient heating device and consequently all
body parts become very hot in use. Except for the control knob and control
access door, which are designed to stay cool, all other parts are working
surfaces and should not be touched.
The glass and frame on this appliance acts as a fireguard conforming to BS:
1945 —1971 and satisfies the Heating Appliance (Fireguards) regulations
1991. No part of the window or frame should be permanently removed. It
does not give full protection for young children or the infirm, extra protection
should be considered for these conditions conforming to BS 6539 or BS
6778.
Bearing in mind that the heat given off by this appliance may affect articles
placed close to it, curtains should not be placed within 30cm.
The appliance is not designed as a dryer . It is not therefore recommended
that
the appliance be used in such a manner. Do not place any articles within
30cm of this appliance as this may result in damage to the articles.
The installation must be carried out in accordance with the following
regulations:

Ventilation
This appliance can be installed in a completely sealed or mechanically ventilated
house without extra ventilation and/or fume extraction.
General Balanced Flue Notes
There are many possibilities for installing this Concentric Balanced Flue system
into a building, both Roof and Wall terminations are possible, and the flue can
either be built into an existing chimney or a completely new flue system may be
constructed.
The system is based upon a Concentric Flue system which utilises an inner flue
which passes through an outer flue, for flue size see ‘Flue Design Options’ . The flue
gasses that are the products of combustion of the fire, pass through the inner flue
and are safely vented to the outside environment. The gap between the inner and
outer flues is the channel by which the stove is supplied with air for combustion .
These concentric flues terminate outside of the property in a terminal, this terminal
will keep the expelled gasses and the fresh air for combustion separate. It is
important that the terminal is not blocked, a suitable guard maybe required if the
terminal is located at a "Low" level (usually when the terminal is within 2m of floor
level).
The Balanced Flue gas appliance can be installed as an insertion into an existing
or new fireplace. If an existing Flue or Chimney is to be utilised, then the installation
engineer must be consulted. If the chimney has been previously used it must be
professionally cleaned and certified as being sound and fit for use.
The European CE approval on this appliance is restricted to the Flue systems as
specified by the supplier, thus the appliance must only be installed with the original
flue system, no others may be used
The gas fire, in combination with the concentric flue system, has been approved
in accordance with the European CE norm for gas appliances and may therefore
be used only with this system. The guarantee is invalidated if the appliance is
(completely or partially) installed using a different system.
The concentric flue systems can be used with either a newly built or existing
chimney.
These appliances are designed with the "Firebox" raised up off the ground level by
the built in "Base unit" .
Thus these appliances require no special Hearth arrangements, as the floor will not
get hot and is protected by the steel construction of the "Base unit".
The appliance must not be fitted against a rear wall constructed from a combustible
material; a gap of 300mm should be given all round the stove before combustible
materials may be used in the wall construction.
If the appliance has to be located in an opening, a minimum clearance of 50mm
should be allowed to non combustible materials.

8
Ortal Technical Guide December 2015
If the appliance is located in a recess, then the recess must have adequate
ventilation, we recommend a minimum total vent area of 200 cm
2
.
The stove must be located at least 280mm from any combustible materials.
Timber Frame Construction
Whilst it is possible to install room sealed appliances in timber frame properties ,
great care needs to be taken to ensure that the flue assembly does not interfere
with the weather proofing qualities of any outer wall which it may penetrate. Before
attempting this work, further details need to be referenced, (e.g. "Gas Installations
in Timber Frame Buildings" from the CORGI installer series in the UK) .
Carport or Building Extension
Where a flue terminal is sited within a carport or building extensio n , it should have
at least two completely open and unobstructed sides. The distance between the
lowest part of the roof and the top of the terminal should be at least 600mm.
Note: A covered passageway should not be treated as a carport. Flues should not
be sited in a covered passageway between properties.
Basements, Lig twells and Retaining walls
Flue terminals should not be sited within the confines of a basement area, light well
or external space formed by a retaining wall, unless steps are taken to ensure the
products of combustion can disperse safely at all times. It may be possible to install
this Balanced Flue system in such a location provided that it is not sited lower than
1m from the top level of that area to allow combustion products to disperse safely.
Flue terminals should be sited to ensure total clearance of the combustion products
in accordance with the enclosed information.
When the products of combustion are discharged, they should not cause a nuisance
to adjoining or adjacent properties and they should be positioned so that damage
cannot occur to other parts of the building. If the outer wall surface is constructed of
combustible material, a non combustible plate should be fitted behind the terminal
projecting 25mm beyond the external edges of the terminal.

Terminal Locations Roof Termination
"Distance" = minimum distance required for positioning of the outlet to avoid adverse
effects with respect to:
A. A ventilation opening serving an occupied room, a toilet or a bathroom
B. A heating air supply, when the supply flows through an occupied room.
C. A window that can be opened and that is near an occupied room , a toilet or
a bathroom.
(*) If the required distance cannot be achieved , the outlet position rules take
precedence.
(**) If the outlet is positioned at least 1 m higher than the intake supply opening, or a
window that can be opened.
(***) If the required distance cannot be achieved, the position of the outlet must be
at least 1 m above the highest facade/roof.
Important note for Roof Terminations, (C31 ) .
When installing the appliance with a roof termination (classification C31), it is
important to fit a 30mm flue restriction strip across the flue outlet inside the stove.
COMMISSIONING THE STOVE
A soundness test MUST be made before the installed stove is left with the
customer.
Ensure that the fire is burning at full rate for a minimum of 5 minutes to warm the
flue.
If there are problems, the flue may require attention.
The stove will produce an odour and/or smoke for the first few hours of use. Please
ventilate the room. Also please note that during this initial burning period, a grey
dust deposit will be formed on the inside of the glass, please clean this before
leaving the appliance with the customer.
Distance: Outlet
A,B or C
At t e same roof level > 6m (*)
At different roof level >3m (*) (**)
At a lower positioned wall > 2m (**)
At a ig er sloping surface > 6m (***)
To avoid adverse effects

Ortal Technical Guide December 2015
For model size 150 and over it is recommended that the glass is handled by 2 people.
Use appropriate glass suction cup lifters where necessary, support with gloved hands
as much as possible. Place the glass on a sheet or soft surface to protect the edges.
When replacing glass the retaining screws should be ‘finger tight plus a quarter turn’.
Do not over tighten or the glass may crack.
For TS, LS, RS and Island models
When the glass is finally assembled ensure the glass to glass joints are pushed
together before tightening the retaining screws and cold. It is recommended that a thin
smear of high temperature silicone sealant is used on the glass to glass joints:
Place masking tape down the edges of the adjoining glass to protect the faces, smear
a small amount of silicone to seal the joint, wiping away excess so only a small film fills
the corner of the joint and remove tape before operating the fire. At service this film
can be carefully cut with a sharp thin blade, taking care not to damage the glass
edges. On reassembly the sealing procedure is repeated.
SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS
The following outlines only the minimum work that should be performed on an
annual basis. This service work, like any other work on the appliance, must only be
done by a qualified and competent engineer who is Gas Safe registered.
Open the door and remove all ceramics.
Remove any debris from the top of the burner using a vacuum cleaner and brush.
Inspect the burner unit.
Perform an ignition check.
Perform a flame failure check
There should be no need to service the burner. If however this is required, then the
engineer should check the setting pressure at the gas valve.
Brush off and replace ceramic arrangement as shown in this manual, replacing any
broken or damaged pieces.
Check all seal on door (including glass) and refit the door. See ‘Commissioning the
Stove’
Check the installation for gas leaks.
Check the flue joints are secure, including those in voids, and that the flue is working
satisfactorily.
Check that there are no flue products leaking from the appliance.
If any parts need to be replaced use only genuine manufacturer parts, non standard
parts will invalidate the guarantee and may be dangerous.
