14. SPILLAGE AND FLAME SUPERVISION CHECKS

14.1 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 and firefront casting
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 into the
appliance canopy (See figure 27).
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 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 9.3),
remove the restrictor, reseal the appliance
and retest. 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.

14.2 Flame supervision and spillage monitoring system.

The pilot unit incorporates a system that will automatically shut off the gas supply if
the pilot flame goes out or if there is insufficient oxygen due to spillage or lack of
ventilation.
Check that the system operates properly as follows;
Light the appliance. Set at the "HIGH" position and leave for one minute.
-
Turn back to "OFF" to extinguish the pilot. Note the time when the pilot goes out.
