TESTING FOR SPILLAGE - continued
All the smoke should be drawn away up the flue. Any smoke returning into the room indicates
that spillage is occurring. If the initial spillage test fails, run the fire for a further 10 minutes and
repeat the test. When the test has been completed satisfactorily, repeat with any extractor fans in
the premises running on the highest setting, and any communicating doors open. Finally, repeat
with all doors open.
NOTE: If spillage is still indicated after undertaking all of the above, there may be a fault in
the flue, or insufficient ventilation is present.
If the problem cannot be rectified immediately, then expert advice should be sought. Inform the
user, disconnect the fire, and attach an explanatory label.
BRIEFING THE CUSTOMER
All instructions must be handed to the user for safekeeping.
Show the customer how to light
and control the fire
.
After commissioning the appliance, the customer should be instructed on the safe use of the
appliance and the need for regular servicing. Frequency of service depends on usage, but MUST
be carried out at least one annually.
Scratched and other superficial damage to the matt black paintwork of the appliance can be cov-
ered with matching heatproof spray. Use only the manufacturers’ recommended spray paint. Paint
only when the fire is OFF and cold. Always mask off the surrounding area to prevent contamina-
tion with overspray. Ventilate the room during the use of the spray.
DO NOT attempt to spray paint the coals or ceramics, or wash them in water.
