Kolhangaz instruction manual

onthebreadline

I am hoping someone can advise, I have this gas fire "kohlangaz" (no model no. to be found anywhere on the fire),

Been told there is a certain way to lay out the coals onto the fire. They were removed from the fire before I moved into flat.

So therefore looking for an instruction manual, and or how to find out the model no. of the fire.

Thanks

The chances of finding anywhere online the owners instruction manual for that brand is next to nothing. They went bust over 10 years ago and although the brand has now been bought by BFM Europe, they are nothing like the fires that are made now.

Underneath the coals, is there a tray with vermiculite/sand/grit in it? If so, the layout of the coals is not as important as a fire with a ceramic base or matrix on it. The idea of the coal layout, is to ensure thatthe fire burns correctly, does not spill fumes into your room and to ensure it doesnt block any of the jets up.

KG fires were renowned for being nightmare fires, things always going wrong with them. If it is your own flat, I would seriously look at buying a new one, if it is rented, it is the lanlords responsibilty to sort it out.

Sorry can't give yu any better answers, they were a horrible company to deal with and their after sales were terrible. When they went bust, you could not get parts for them from the get go, so finding a guide, will be as bad.

Hi Rustyboy, and thanks for replying, the fire does in fact have a tray with vermiculite/sand/grit in it.

Such a shame as it is a good looking fire and looks wider than most of the other gas fires I have seen - which may be a problem with the marble/space that has been cut in the fireplace.

So with that in mind would like to try and get it working.

Have been told to take all the coals off, switch fire on then arrange the coals to avoid the holes where the flames come out (the holes actually have a kind of mesh covering the holes the flames come out of, so the coals would not be blocking the flames completely !?!

Thanks for all the info, shame about the reputation, as it is a good looking fire.

As I said it is a lot easier and a bit safer if your burner has the vermiculite base, as it is not as important in the placing of the coals should be.

What you have ben told, re lighting the burner and placing the coals on with a set of kitchen tongs is a good one.

However, I would seriously suggest that you get an RGI, Installer to check it over, make sure it is running safely and he can also do the very important spillage test on it, to ensure that no fumes are coming back into your room.

Well worth the cost of a service from an RGI
