2. Light the appliance and set the slide control to the maximum burning position.
3. Leave the appliance on for five minutes.
4. Place the smoke match into the appliance
canopy (See figure 29).
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

not satisfactory, disconnect the appliance and advise the customer of the cause
of failure.
