INSTALLER GUIDE

15. FULL OPERATING CHECKS

15.1 Check the burner operation.

Repeat the checks conducted in section 12.3.
Please note:
When first turned on from cold, the flames will appear predominantly blue.
When operating the fire for the first time, some vapours may be given off which could
set off smoke alarms in the vicinity. These vapours are quite normal with new
appliances. They are totally harmless and will disappear after a few hours use.

15.2 Check for spillage.

A spillage check must be made before leaving the installed appliance with the
customer.
The spillage check must be conducted before fitting the fascia.
1. Close all doors and windows in the room containing the appliance.
2. Unscrew and remove the upper heat baffle (See figure 28). Place the heat baffle in
a safe place away from the work area.
3. Light the appliance and set the control to its highest heat position.
4. Leave the appliance on for five minutes.
5. At the top of the heater are two openings. The upper opening has a tapered rear
that has an opening of its own. The smoke match should be placed horizontally into
this opening so that it touches the right hand side of the opening. It should pass the
upper part of the opening by 40mm (See figure 28).
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
smoke is still not drawn into the appliance disconnect the appliance and seek
expert advice.
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 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.
7. Using the four screws removed previously, replace and secure the heat baffle in
place.
