Spillage Check (Fig. 14)
- Close all doors and windows in the room containing the fire.
- Light the fire as described in the User Instruction and turn control knob to MAX.
- Wait for 5 minutes.
- Introduce a smoke match and position it so that the tip is under the canopy.
- Traverse the full width of the canopy keeping the smoke match horizontal.
- NB It is recommended that the smoke match is fitted into a smoke match holder when checking
for clearance of combustion products.
- Ensure that most of the smoke is drawn into the flue aperture.
If in doubt wait a further 10 minutes and repeat the test.
- If there is a fan/extractor fitted in the property turn it full on and open all inter-connecting doors.
- The spillage test must now be repeated.
- If spillage is still present there is insufficient flue pull which may be due to the following reasons:
· Fire improperly fixed to surround.
· Fireplace unsatisfactory.
· Coal beds or coals incorrectly laid.
· Chimney unsatisfactory (blockage etc).
· Insufficient air supply in the room (Ventilation).
- If after investigating the above and spillage is still present, disconnect the appliance from the gas
supply and seek expert advice.
Handing Over
- Read the Users instructions and instruct the user on the operation of the fire and cleaning
methods. Leave instructions with the user.
- The user should be told that any odours are due to the newness of materials and should disperse
after a few hours operation.
- The user should be informed that the fire should be serviced annually and the chimney checked
for flue pull and blockage.
