FITTING THE CERAMIC COAL FUEL EFFECT
The ceramic fuel effect may cause staining / discolouration to decorative surfaces. It
is therefore advisable to protect decorative surfaces.
1. Placing the front base coal
emove the front base coal from its
protective packaging and position in front
of the burner as shown in figure 1. It
should fit snugly between the burner and
the three raised tabs on the front edge of
the tray.

2. Placing the rear base coal
emove the rear base coal from its
protective packaging and position it on top
of the burner as shown in figure 2. The
rear face should locate into two cut-outs
on the top face of the rear legs. Ensure
that the rear base coal sits flatly on the top
of the burner.
3. Open the bag containing the dress coals. Inside there will be a further three bags.
These contain:
- v3 x Square dress coals. (All 3 required on both NG and LPG models)
- v15 x andom cut dress coals. (15 required on NG and 13 required on LPG
models)
4. Open the bags and keep the different
types of coals separate. Take five random
coals and place along the front base coal
as shown in figure 3. Ensure that these
coals bridge across from the front base coal
to the rear base coal.
In order to achieve the best flame effect, it
is important that the coals are evenly
spaced, and sit 10 -15mm from each other.

coals and position in the centre as
shown in figure 5. Again, these dress
