FLUE SPILLAGE MONITORING SYSTEM ((continued)
The aeration hole of the pilot must be carefully cleaned out on each annual service to ensure continued function of the ODS.
The spillage monitoring system shall not be adjusted, modified, or put out of operation by the installer. Any spare parts fitted MUST be of a
type supplied for the purpose by the appliance manufacturer. If the fire is not spilling, then further guidance should be sought, using the
Troubleshooting section as a guide.
TESTING FOR SPILLAGE
Close all doors and windows to the room containing the appliance. Let the fire run on HIGH for five minutes. Take a smoke match, light it,
and using a smoke match tube, hold it at the top edge of the fire opening, 25mm down and 25mm in. Starting 50mm in from either side, run
the smoke match across the opening. 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 complet-
ed 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.
DO NOT allow the fire to be used until the test is satisfactorily passed.
BRIEFING TTHE C
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 once annually.
Advise that cleaning of the fire may be achieved when the fire is cold using a damp cloth and mild detergent on most surfaces.
Scratched and other superficial damage to the matt black paintwork of the appliance can be covered 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 pre-
vent contamination 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.
Advise that the fire will emit a “newness” smell for a time after initial commissioning and that extra ventilation may be needed during this
time. Advise that the fire is fitted with a spillage safety device (O.D.S.). If the fire shuts down, this system may be in operation. If spillage is
suspected, SWITCH APPLIANCE OFF and call in the installer to investigate any problems.
SERVICING
Isolate the fire from the gas supply. Ensure that the fire is fully cold before attempting service. A suggested procedure for servicing is detailed
below.
1. Lay out the dust sheet and tools.
2. Carefully remove the ceramic components.
3. Remove the cast front fret (Blenheim models), or remove the combined frame and firefront (Aries and Aura models).
4. Remove the two screws that retain the data/control plate.
5. Disconnect the gas supply, and remove the two securing screws in the tray legs.
6. Remove the burner tray.
7. Remove firebox as described.
8. Check the fireplace opening for rubble accumulation and remove. If debris is excessive, initiate remedial work on the flue.
9. Check the flue with smoke pellet for correct operation.
10. Refit firebox using new seals where necessary.
11. Strip off the burner pipes and clean thoroughly.
