2. Open the bag of 16 ceramic pebbles. All of these pebbles are the same
size. Take five pebbles and place them as shown in figure 14. Care should
be taken to ensure that the pebbles bridge the gap between the front
strip and the four supports at the front of the matrix. Care should also
be taken not to push the pebbles right down between the supports, as
this can affect the flame picture when the appliance is running.
3. Take five more ceramic pebbles and position as shown to form the
‘second row’ of the fuel effect as shown in figure 15. 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
16. 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 17.
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 discoloura-
tion/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
