16. FULL OPERATING CHECKS

16.1 Check the burner operation.

Repeat the checks conducted in section 10 &11.
Please note:
When first turned on from cold, the flames will appear predominantly blue.
When operating the fire for the first time, some vapours may be given off which could
set off smoke alarms in the vicinity. These vapours are quite normal with new
appliances. They are totally harmless and will disappear after a few hours use.

16.2 Check for spillage.

A spillage check must be made before leaving the installed appliance with the
customer.
The spillage check must be conducted.
1. Close all doors and windows in the room containing the appliance.
2. Light the appliance and set the control to its highest heat position.
3. Leave the appliance on for five minutes.
4. At the top of the heater are two openings. The upper opening has a tapered rear
that has an opening of its own. The smoke match should be placed horizontally into
this opening so that it touches the right hand side of the opening 100mm deep. It
should pass the upper part of the opening by 25mm.
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
smoke is still not drawn into the appliance
disconnect the appliance and seek expert
advice.
5. 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 smoke is drawn into the appliance, continue
with the installation. If the test is not satisfactory
disconnect the appliance and advise the customer of the cause of failure.

16.3 Flame supervision and spillage monitoring system.

This pilot unit includes a system that will automatically shut off the gas supply if the
pilot flame goes out or if there is insufficient oxygen due to spillage or poor ventilation.
