9. SPILLAGE CHECK
A spillage test must be made before the installed appliance is left with the
customer.
1. Close all doors and windows in the room containing the fire.
2. Light the appliance and set the control knob to the maximum position (Position 5).
3. Leave the appliance on for five minutes.
4. Place a smoke match tube (with lighted match) horizontally underneath the radiant
box but touching the top lip of the box. The tube should be between the two centre
radiants. The tip of the match should project between 2mm and 5mm beyond the
lowest edge of the radiant box lip (See figure
12).
5. The installation is satisfactory if the smoke
is drawn into the appliance. If the smoke is not
drawn into the appliance, leave the appliance
alight at the maximum setting for a further ten
minutes and then repeat the test. If the smoke
is still not drawn into the appliance, inspect
the sealing of the closure plate. If the sealing
is satisfactory but the appliance is installed
with the flue restrictor in the closed position
(see section 6.5), reopen the restrictor, reseal
the appliance and retest. If smoke is still not
drawn into the appliance disconnect the
appliance and seek expert advice
6. If the above test is satisfactory, open all
internal connecting doors, hatches, etc. in the room. Keep all doors and windows that
open to the outside of the building closed. Recheck for spillage as above. If an
extractor fan is installed in the same room as the appliance or a connecting room,
check that spillage does not occur with the fan operating and all doors and other
openings between the fan and the appliance open. If the test is satisfactory continue
with the installation. If the test is not satisfactory disconnect the appliance and
advise the customer of the cause of failure.
