    SECTION 3 ASSEMBLING FUEL BED AND COMMISSIONING ASSEMBLING THE CERAMICS AND FUEL BED NOTE : The position of the fuel-bed components are critical to the performance of the product. Therefore please ensure that the fuel-bed components are positioned as described in the following section prior to requesting a service call due to soot build up, poor flame pattern etc.
  • Page 25 Position upper fuelbed component on to the locating pegs on the top of the fuelbed base, ensuring that it is correctly seated as shown below in fig. 25 Fig. 25 Fit the two parts of the ceramic front coal support on to the front support bracket, ensuring they are correctly located, as shown below in fig.
  • Page 26 Select seven of the coals and arrange along the front ceramic coal support using the shallow depressions as guidance for the coal position. See fig. 27 below Fig. 27 Select the four coals and arrange along the front of the fuelbed, directly behind the front row of coals.
  • Page 27 Select five of the coals and arrange along the fuelbed behind the second row of coals spacing them evenly and positioning them as shown below in fig. 29. Fig. 29 Select the remaining four coals and position to fill the gaps left at the top rear of the fuelbed.
  • Page 28 The exact position and fit of the coals may be finely adjusted to give the most pleasing and random appearance. To ensure that the release of fibres from these R.C.F (Refractory Ceramic Fibre) articles is kept to a minimum, during installation and servicing we recommend that you use a HEPA filtered vacuum to remove any dust accumulated in and around the appliance before and after working on the appliance.
