FINAL CHECK LIST
Arada Installation Manual

Before handing over the installation to the customer it is a requirement under Document J (of the
Building Regulations for England & Wales) that the appliance is lit and the functioning of the
chimney system is checked for satisfactory operation. The functioning of the hot water and heating
system should also be fully checked.
Please record the checks in the table below:
Operate the heating system and set the pump head.
Balance the radiators.
Re-vent and ensure there are no air locks.
Check all joints and seals.
Clean the outside of the appliance to prevent any stains becoming burnt on.
Check the flue draught which should read 1 - 2mm, or 0.1 - 0.2 mbar.
For a registered competent persons scheme, such as HETAS, please complete
a Certificate of Compliance, which is used for checking and reporting the
installation as imposed by the Government.
Explain the controls and operation of the appliance to the customer.
Ensure a Carbon Monoxide alarm is fitted. This must be between 1m to 3m of
the appliance, and approximately 150mm below the ceiling level.
A fireguard conforming to BS 8423:2002 should be used in the presence of
children and old or infirm people.
Explain to the customer, that when lighting a boiler stove, condensation may
form on cold parts of the stove and drip off of it during ignition. This is normal
and not indication of a leak.
