4. Release the button. The button should automatically spring up to the low heat
position. If for any reason the slider control does not spring up, raise the slider to the
topmost (Off) position and investigate why the slider is not operating correctly. If the
flames go out at this stage or when checking the rest of the setting positions, try the
full lighting sequence again. If the flames fail after two attempts, investigate the pilot
unit.
5. Gradually slide the button up to increase the burner setting. You should feel a
check to the button movement at this position.

13.2 Check
Figure 29. Smoke match tube position
for spillage.
1. Close all doors and windows in the room containing the appliance.
2. Light the appliance and set the slide control to the maximum burning position.
3. Leave the appliance on for five minutes.
4. The smoke match should be placed horizontally into the top of the down draught air
relief opening, 70mm from the right hand side. Insert the smoke match tube up to the
neck of its flared end (approximately 20mm) (See figure 29).
The installation is satisfactory if the smoke is drawn into the appliance. Under
clearance conditions smoke may be seen to swirl in the opening and small quantities
may occasionally escape. The majority of smoke should be clearly 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 point 8) remove the restrictor, reseal the appliance and retest. If smoke is still not
drawn into the appliance disconnect the appliance and seek expert advice.
