2.1.1. Lighting Procedure ( anual B Control)
1. Ensure that the arrow on the control
knob is pointing towards the OFF
position as shown in Figu e 2. Press in
the knob and slowly turn anti-clockwise
until a click is heard. he spark should
now light the pilot. On first lighting, it
may require several attempts to allow the
pilot light to be purged of air.
2. he pilot can be viewed either at the
front centre of the fire, or to the right
hand side.
3. Once the pilot flame is established, hold
the control knob in for approximately 10-
20 seconds and release. he pilot
should now remain alight. Repeat the
procedure if necessary.
4. he arrow should now be pointing to the
PILO position as shown in Figu e 3.
5. If the spark unit fails to light the pilot, the
appliance may be lit manually by
applying a lighted match or taper to the
pilot jet and following the above
procedure.
NOTE: No attempt should be
made to relight the fire for at
least 3 minutes after the pilot
flame has been extinguished
either intentionally or
unintentionally.
7. Once the pilot is established, the main
burner can be operated by turning the
control knob anti-clockwise. he preset
minimum is found with the arrow in the 9
o’clock position as shown in Figu e 4.
8. he preset maximum (as shown in

2.4. Fuel Effect Layout
Your fire has been supplied with either Coal or Pebble effect. Please refer to the relevant
section for instructions on how to arrange the imitation fuels.
Fuel Effect
T ay Type
Refe to
Coal Effect Natural Gas Section 2.4.1
Pebble Effect Natural Gas Section 2.4.5
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 disinteg ate
and/o cause discolou ation.
RCF Advice:
his 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.
herefore 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. he fire will remain very hot
for a while after extinguishing.
Some sooting on the pebbles may be observed. his 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.

Page 15
2.4.1. Coal Layout
NOTE: As the Burner ray shape and therefore the coal layouts may vary,
ensure that the p inciples of the layouts below are followed.
he Burley Magiglo Custom 18 Plus comes
supplied with four different types of fire bed
refractories (i.e. ceramic coals and aeration
tubes). Each of these are packed in
separate bags which are appropriately
marked. he quantity supplied is dependent
on the size of the burner tray.
Proceed to carry out the coal laying
according to the following instructions and in
conjunction with the drawings on the
following pages.
1. Unpack the small square coals and place
them equidistant along the front edge of
the burner (as indicated in the figures
showing the ‘Fi st Laye ’) taking care
not to cover the cross ignition slot or any
gas entry port holes.
2. Position the aeration tubes over the
shaded areas on the ceramic fibre base.
3. Unpack and carefully place the medium
square coals around the perimeter of the
burner tray so that they are touching
each other as indicated on diagram (as
indicated in the figures showing the
‘Fi st Laye ’). Small gaps between coals
may be left on each side. Ensure that the
first coal on each side is set back a
minimum of ½" and no slots or port holes
are covered. here may be more
medium square coals than required. In
this instance only use sufficient coals to
go round the perimeter as indicated on
diagram.
4. Unpack the random coals and proceed
to bridge them across the aeration tubes,
starting with the middle row as shown on
diagram (as indicated in the figures
showing the ‘Second Laye ’). hen lay
the back row by bridging between
previously laid medium square coals and
aeration tubes. Next lay the front row by
bridging across the previously laid PC05
and the bridging coals in the middle row
making sure that the coals are
adequately stable.
5. Proceed to lay a third layer of random
coals according to diagram (as indicated
in the figures showing the ‘Thi d Laye ’)
making sure that they are not packed
tightly together.
6. Place the coals above the pilot assembly
such that one end of the coal is resting
on pilot shield and the other on
previously laid random coals making
sure that the coals do not rest on the
pilot assembly.
7. Any extra random coals may be placed
at random on top of the third layer to
cover up large gaps in the layout. If the
fire is very deep, these coals could be
placed at the rear of the tray.
8. Small adjustments to the third layer may
be made once the fire is turned on to
alter the flame pattern if desired. A small
pair of tongs may be used to gently re-
position the coals.
9. It is recommended that the coals be left
alone once the desired flame pattern has
been achieved. Constant moving of
the coals causes the coals to
disinteg ate and/o cause
discolou ation.
WARNING: Do not touch the
fire when it is alight. he fire will
remain very hot for a while after
extinguishing.
