TO LIGHT AND OPERATE 11
--------
Generally the fire will only need dusting.Any painted
surface or metal part should be cleaned with a damp
cloth only.Never use any abrasive materials or metal
polish on painted surfaces or metal parts.
FUEL EFFECT COMPONENTS
From time to time you may need to remove loose
coals for dusting.The appearance of the fire after you
have removed the loose coals is shown in Fig.4.Use
a soft brush to remove any powdery deposits from the
loose coals.Never use a vacuum cleaner to clean the
coals.If you need to remove the coal bed to dust
away larger particles then it is recommended that you
first remove the outer case.As you lift out the coal bed
take care that you do not damage it against the pilot
burner and also take precautions that particles do not
fall on your carpet etc.
As well as loose coals and coal bed there are a rear
coal and side cheeks which you will not need to
remove but can be dusted in situ after removing the
coal bed.Remove any deposits on the burner with a
soft brush
When replacing the coal bed put it in rear end first to
avoid damage against the pilot.The coalbed is a close
fit in the burner tray.Ensure that it is properly located
by sliding it sideways and front to back. Replace the
loose coals.Place five loose coals in the front
recesses with their decorative faces forward. Similarly
place the remaining four loose coals on top of the
recesses formed by the front loose coals and touching
the rear coal (Fig. 5). Ensure that the loose coals are
stable and not likely to fall off.
Periodically vacuum away any loose particles that
have fallen on the hearth or into the base of the fire.
