INSTALLER GUIDE

9. 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 maximum position (Position 5).
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 17).
5. 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 of the closure
plate. If the sealing is satisfactory but the
appliance is installed with the flue restrictor
in the closed position (see section 6.6),
reopen the restrictor, reseal the appliance
and retest. If smoke is still not drawn into
the appliance disconnect the appliance

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.
