SPILLAGE MONITORING SYSTEM

This appliance is fitted with an atmosphere sensing spillage monitoring system in
the form of an oxygen sensing pilot. This is designed to shut the fire off in the
event of a partial or complete blockage of the flue causing a build up of
combustion products in the room in which the fire is operated. The following are
important warnings relating to this spillage monitoring system :-
1) The spillage monitoring system must not be adjusted by the installer.
2) The spillage monitoring system must not be put out of operation.
3) When the spillage monitoring system is exchanged only a complete original
manufacturers part may be fitted. It is not possible to replace individual parts on
the pilot system on this appliance, only a complete pilot assembly (including the
thermocouple) may be fitted.
