15. SPILLAGE & FLAME SUPERVISION CHECKS
15.1 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 in position.
1. Close all doors and windows in the
room containing the appliance.
2. Light the appliance and turn the
control knob to "HIGH".
3. Leave the appliance on for five
minutes.
4. Place the smoke match tube into the
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 30.
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 8.2) 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.
