Check For Spillage - Valor British Gas BG C-2 Installer's Manual

14.2 Check For Spillage

A spillage check must be made before leaving the installed appliance with the
customer. Make this check with the appliance fully installed with the ceramic fuel
effects and front surround in position.
Close all doors and windows in the
1.
room containing the appliance.
Light the appliance and set the slide
2.
control to the maximum burning position.
Leave the appliance on for five minutes.
3.
Place the smoke match tube into the
4.
convection box at the right hand side and
immediately below the black top cross
member. Angle it at approximately 45° to
the horizontal.
Insert the tube so that the neck of its flared
end touches the inside surface of the edge
of the cross member - See figure 33.
Keeping the neck of flared end in contact
with the edge of the cross member, slide the tube to the left until you feel it enter the
notch in the edge of the cross member. Make sure that the tube is pointed upwards at 45º
to the horizontal. 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 9 item 7) remove the
restrictor, reseal the appliance and retest. If smoke is still not drawn into the appliance
disconnect the appliance and seek expert advice.
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
5.
satisfactory disconnect the appliance and advise the customer of the cause of failure.
