Step 5. Spillage Testing
5.1 Check for spillage of combustion product into the space being heated in accordance with the
requirements of AS/NZS5601 "Gas Installations" and local regulations.
The Requirements of AS / NZS 5601 include:
(a) Checking whether mechanical extraction ventilation draws air through flue systems or
IMPORTANT
chimneys or not. If yes, this will most likely result in combustion product spillage from
appliances during their operation.
(b) Checking whether the operation of appliances and flue systems or chimneys is satisfactory.
(c) A method for determining the additional fixed ventilation area required to counteract the
effect of mechanical extract ventilation.
Spillage tests and countermeasures (when required) are critical for safe operation of the appliance.
With the fascia installed check for spillage at the downdraft diverter relief opening (A) which is
WARNING

entire length of the this opening as shown in the diagram below.
Be aware that located directly below the downdraft diverter relief opening (A) is the convection
