INSTALLER GUIDE

10. SPILLAGE CHECK

A spillage check must be made before leaving the installed appliance with the
customer. Make this with all radiants and complete fascia in position.
1. Close all doors and windows in the room
containing the fire.
2. Light the appliance and set the control
knob to the high (H) setting.
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 15).
5. The installation is satisfactory if the
smoke is drawn into the appliance. If the
smoke is not drawn into the appliance, leave
Figure 15. Spillage check
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
7.5), 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.
