SPILLAGE MONITORING SYSTEM - ccontinued
If pilot disturbance is not the cause, then the ODS safety system may be in operation. Switch the appliance OFF,
check the flue for obstruction or leakage. Relight the fire and carry out a spillage test. DO NOT allow the appli-
ance to be used if it continues to fail a spillage test. The aeration hole of the pilot must be carefully cleaned out
on each annual service to ensure continued function of the ODS. The spillage monitoring system shall not be
adjusted, modified, or put out of operation by the installer. Any spare parts fitted MUST be of a type supplied for
the purpose by the appliance manufacturer. If the fire is not spilling, then further guidance should be sought,
using the Troubleshooting section as a guide.
TESTING FOR SPILLAGE
Close all doors and windows to the room containing the appliance. Let the fire run on HIGH for five minutes.
Take a smoke match, light it, and using a smoke match tube, hold it at the top edge of the fire opening, 25mm
down and 25mm in. Starting 50mm in from either side, run the smoke match across the opening. All the smoke
should be drawn into the upper firebox. Any smoke returning into the room indicates that spillage is occurring. If
the initial test fails, run the fire for a further 10 minutes and repeat the test. When the test has been completed
satisfactorily, repeat with any extractor fans in the premises running on the highest setting, and any communicat-
ing doors open. Finally, repeat with all doors open.

After commissioning the appliance, the customer should be instructed on the safe use of the appliance and the
need for regular servicing. Frequency of service depends on usage, but MUST be carried out at least once
annually.
Scratched and other superficial damage to the matt black paintwork of the appliance can be covered with
matching heatproof spray. Use only the manufacturers’ recommended spray paint. Paint only when the fire is OFF
and cold. Always mask off the surrounding area to prevent contamination with overspray. Ventilate the room
during the use of the spray.
DO NOT attempt to spray paint the coals or ceramics, or wash them in water.
