2.5. Fuel Effect Layout
You fire has been supplied with either Coal, Pebble, Beachcomber or Shoreline effect fuel
bed. Please refer to the relevant section for instructions on how to arrange the imitation fuels.
It is recommended that the imitation fuel be left alone once the desired flame pattern has been
achieved. Constant moving of the imitation fuel will cause the fuel to disintegrate
and/or cause discolouration.
RCF Advice:
This product may use Components (Coals, Pebbles, Driftwood & 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.
WARNING: Do not touch the fire when it is alight. The fire will remain very hot
for a while after extinguishing.
Sooting on the fuel effect may be observed. This is perfectly normal.
Periodically operating the fire at various rates may burn this soot away. If
excessive sooting is observed, this may be an indication that the fuel bed is laid
incorrectly – please refer to instructions.

2.5.1. Coal Effect Layout
This fire is supplied with different sizes of
ceramic coal.
Qty
Small Square Coals 7
Random Coals 18
Small random coals 11
Matrices 3
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 fully rests
on the burner board.
2. Place the middle matrix onto the burner
board so that it keys into the triangular
depression on the board (see Figure
23). Bring the rear matrix forward to
touch the middle matrix
3. Insert the front fuel spike centrally
between the board and the front of the
metal tray (see Figure 23).
4. Unpack the square coals and insert them
centrally into the spikes as shown in
Figure 24. 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 25 to Figure 28 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.
