Checking For Clearance Of Combustion - Flavel Castelle Installation, Maintenance And User Instructions

3.4 CHECKING FOR CLEARANCE OF COMBUSTION PRODUCTS
3.4.1 Close all doors and windows in the room.
3.4.2 Light the fire and allow to run for approximately 5 minutes on high
position.
3.4.3 After approximately 5 minutes hold a smoke match 20mm inside the
draught diverter aperture at the centre as shown below in figure 23.
(It is recommended that a suitable smoke match holder is used when
checking for clearance of combustion products). All smoke generated
should be drawn back into the flue. If slight spillage occurs or if in
doubt, repeat the test after a further 5-10 minutes. If the test indicates
that spillage is occurring and the flue restrictor baffle has been
fitted, it should be removed (see section 3.6) and the test repeated
after the fire has cooled.
3.4.4 If spillage persists, the flue is not functioning correctly and a fault exists.
If, after investigation the fault cannot be traced and rectified, the fire
must be disconnected from the gas supply and expert advice obtained.
3.4.5 If there is an extractor fan fitted any where in the vicinity of the
appliance, the spillage test should be repeated with the fan running on
maximum and all interconnecting doors open.
3.4.6 After ensuring that the fire is safe to use it should be left on high
position to fully warm up. During this time a slight odour may be
noticed, this is due to the "newness" of the fire and will soon disappear.
Fit the draught diverter cover as shown in section 3.5. Finally, hand the
Installation and maintenance Instructions and the users Instructions
over to the customer and explain the operation of the fire.
