2.5.1. Coal Effect Layout
This fire is supplied with different sizes of
ceramic coal:
Qty
Small Square Coals
5
Medium Square Coals
1
Random Coals
18
Small random coals
5
Matrices 2
Proceed with the coal layout as follows: -
1. Having unpacked all the fuel-bed
components proceed with placing the
rear matrix
centrally and to the rear of
the burner tray ensuring that it touches
the ceramic fire-back.
2. Place
the
middle matrix
onto the burner
board so that it keys into the triangular
depression on the board (see
Figure
20
).
3. Insert the front fuel spike between the
board and the front of the metal tray (see
Figure 20)
.
4. Unpack the square coals and insert them
centrally into the spikes as shown in
Figure 21
. 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 22
to
Figure 25
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.
