5. Gradually slide the button up to increase the burner setting. The burner should be
at its maximum setting at the high heat position "O". You should feel a check to the
button movement at this position.
6. Slide the control button up past the high heat position to the off position at the top

14.2 Check for spillage.

A spillage check must be made before leaving the installed appliance with the
customer.
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 27).

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

the appliance alight at the
maximum setting for a
further ten minutes and Figure 27. Smoke match tube position

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 point 9) remove the restrictor, reseal the appliance and retest.
If smoke is still not drawn into the appliance disconnect the appliance and seek
expert advice.
5. 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.
