mainly in the centre of the tray while using pebbles A and B around the sides and back of
the tray.
5. Place the remaining A and B pebbles at the rear of the tray on top of the pebbles laid in
step 4 (see figures indicating ‘Front and Third Layer’).
6. Unpack the bag of Medium pebbles (marked C, D and F) and proceed to bridge them
across pebbles E and leaning them back onto the front row of Large pebbles ensuring little
gaps are left between pebbles. This forms the front layer (see figure indicating ‘Front and
Third Layer’).
7. Use the remaining C, D and F pebbles to bridge between pebbles laid in step 4 and step 5
(see figure indicating ‘Top Layer’). This layer will fill up large gaps between pebbles. DO
NOT LAY ANY MORE PEBBLES ABOVE THIS LAYER.
8. Unpack the bag of Small Pebbles (marked G), if supplied, and place them randomly on top
to cover up any large gaps as in/or instead of step 7 above.
9. Small adjustments may be made to alter the flame picture if desired after the fire has been
turned on. A small pair of tongs should be used for this.
10. It is recommended that the pebbles be left alone once the desired flame pattern has been
achieved.
Constant moving of the pebbles causes the pebbles to disintegrate
and/or cause discolouration
.
NOTE: Pebbles must not be placed directly on the pilot assembly, however pebbles may be
placed suspended above the pilot assembly (on inset pilots).
WARNING: Do not touch the fire when it is alight. The fire will remain very hot
for a while after extinguishing.
This product may use Components (Coals, Pebbles & Ceramic backs)
containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF), which are man-made vitreous
silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to this material may cause irritation to eyes,
skin and respiratory tract.
Therefore during installation and servicing we recommend that you use a HEPA
filtered vacuum to remove any dust and soot accumulated in and around the fire
before and after working on the fire, to ensure that the release of fibres from
these RCF articles is kept to a minimum.
We recommend that you should follow the normal hygiene rules of not smoking,
eating or drinking in the work area.
When replacing Components containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF), we
recommend that the replaced items are not broken up, but are sealed within
heavy duty polythene bags, and clearly labelled as RCF waste. RCF waste may
be disposed of in suitably licensed landfill sites.
Some sooting on the pebbles may be observed. This is perfectly normal.
Periodically operating the Fire at various rates will burn this soot away. If
excessive sooting is observed, this is an indication that the pebbles are laid
incorrectly – please refer to instructions.
