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 completed
satisfactorily, repeat with any extractor fans in the premises running on the highest setting, and any communicat-
ing doors open. Finally, repeat with all doors open.

If the problem cannot be rectified immediately, then expert advice should be sought. Inform the user, disconnect
the fire, and attach an explanatory label.
