Check For Spillage - Valor 940 Installer And Owner Manual

4. Gradually slide the control knob up to increase the burner setting. The burner
should be at its maximum setting at the high heat position shown in figure 44. You
should feel a check to the control knob movement at this position.
5. Slide the control knob up past the high heat position to the off ("O") position at the
top of the slide slot. Both pilot and main burner should go out. While cooling the
ceramic fuel effect may make some crackling noises. This is quite normal.

15.2 Check for spillage.

A spillage check must be made before leaving the installed appliance with the
customer. Make this with all the ceramic fuel effect pieces and complete fascia
1. Close all doors and windows in the room containing the appliance.
2. Light the appliance and set the slide control to the maximum burning position.
3. Leave the appliance on for five minutes.
4. The smoke match should be placed horizontally into the convection box at the right
hand side. There is a notch in the black cross member. Insert the tube so that the
neck of its flared end is 5mm passed and in contact the cross member (See figure
45).
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 to the
fireplace surround. If the sealing is
satisfactory but the appliance is installed
with the flue restrictor (See section 8
point 8) remove the restrictor, reseal the
appliance and retest. 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.
