3. Take five more ceramic pebbles and position as shown to form the
‘second row’ of the fuel effect as shown in figure 17. The pebbles may be
rotated as desired to fit into the gaps between the supports in order to
create a random, realistic effect. Again, remember not to push the peb-
bles down too far into the valleys between the supports as this can have
a detrimental effect to the flame picture.
4. Now take another two pebbles and place behind the second row of
coals next to each other in the centre of the fuel bed as shown in figure
18. The pebbles may be orientated as desired to achieve a realistic effect.
Keep the spacing between the pebbles even and uniform.
5. Finally, take the four remaining pebbles and place at the back of the
fuel matrix as shown in figure 19.
Once again, the pebbles may be orientated as desired in order to give a
realistic effect. Avoid pushing the pebbles down between the supports.
The fuel bed layout is now complete.
IMPORTANT :
The fire is designed to operate correctly with
the pebbles supplied when assembled according to the
instructions. Never add to the sixteen pebbles, or change
them for a different type. Never throw rubbish or other mat-
ter onto the fuel bed. Due to the light colour of the pebbles,
some discolouration/sooting is to be expected during normal
use.
The fire and flue should be checked on an annual basis to ensure all of the products of combustion are entering the flue and that there
is no excessive build up of soot. The frequency of service will depend on usage, but MUST be carried out at least once annually. Servicing
must be carried out by a GAS SAFE registered engineer.
Cleaning of the coals/pebbles may be carried out by following the instructions given in section 8.0 of these instructions. The Installation
instructions carry full servicing details for the use of the installer.
If debris from the flue or other foreign matter is found on the fire it may indicate a need for servicing. Do not use the fire until the
source of the debris has been found and rectified. Air vents (where fitted) should be checked periodically to ensure they are free from
obstruction.
Before carrying out any of the following operations, ensure that the fire is OFF and completely cold.
FIREFRONT - Any dust accumulating in the firefront may be removed using a vacuum cleaner or dry cloth. Heavy stains may be
removed by using a damp cloth and mild household detergent. Brass parts of the firefront may be cleaned using a suitable brass
cleaner. Replace the front centrally against the fire after cleaning. Do not use a damp cloth to clean cast iron fronts (Soho, Finsbury
and Arch models) as this can cause the fronts to rust.
PAINTED AREAS - These can be cleaned using a dry cloth.
