Spillage Check - Valor BLACK BEAUTY 348 Installer And Owner Manual

INSTALLER GUIDE

10. SPILLAGE CHECK

A spillage check must be made before leaving the installed appliance with the
customer. Make this with all radiants and complete fascia in position.
1. Close all doors and windows in the
room containing the fire.
2. Light the appliance and set the
control knob to the high (H) setting.
3. Leave the appliance on for five
minutes.
4. Place a smoke match tube (with
lighted match) horizontally underneath
the radiant box but touching the top lip
of the box. The tube should be
between the two centre radiants. The
tip of the match should project between
2mm and 5mm beyond the lowest
edge of the radiant box lip (See figure
13).
5. The installation is satisfactory if the
smoke is drawn into the appliance. If
Figure 13. Spillage check
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 of the closure plate. If the sealing is satisfactory but the appliance is installed
with the flue restrictor in the closed position (See section 7.5), reopen 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 test is satisfactory continue with the installation. If the test is not satisfactory
disconnect the appliance and advise the customer of the cause of failure.
