2.5.1. Coal Effect Layout
This fire is supplied with different sizes of
ceramic coal:
Qty
Small Square Coals
8
Random Coals
25
Small random coals
7
Matrices 4
Proceed with the coal layout as follows: -
1. Having unpacked all the fuel-bed
components proceed with placing the
rear matrix
pieces centrally and to the
rear of the burner tray ensuring that it
touches the ceramic fire-back.
2. Place
the
middle matrix
pieces onto the
burner board so that they key into the
triangular depression on the board (see
Figure 18
).
3. Insert the front fuel spike between the
board and the front of the metal tray (see
Figure 18
).
4. Unpack the square coals and insert them
centrally into the spikes as shown in
Figure 19
. Then place Large Random
coals on the middle matrix such that they
are bridging across to the rear matrix.
5. Continue laying the coals as shown in
Figure 20
to
Figure 23
, ensuring that
the coals are placed ‘loosely’. Packing
the coals too tightly together will result in
a poor flame picture. The best results
come from a ‘loose’ fuel build.
6. After the appliance has been allowed to
warm up, small adjustments (using a
small pair of tongs) may be made to the
top layer to achieve the desired flame
picture.
7. It is recommended that the coals be left
alone once the desired flame picture has
been achieved.
Constant moving of
the coals causes the coals to
disintegrate and/or cause
discolouration
.
WARNING:
Do not touch the
fire when it is alight. The fire
will remain very hot for a while
after extinguishing.
