11. Commissioning the Gas Grate
(This work can only be carried out by a person who is registered with SAQCC).
When the Gas Grate is being lit for the first time, a gas leak test and a fume clearance test
must now be carried out.
Gas leak test: Check each gas joint beneath the burner tray with an electronic gas leak detector
or leak detection fluid (soapy water). If there is a leak it must be rectified before proceeding
further.
Fume clearance check: Light and pass a burning match or use an electronic gas leak detector
in front of the fire opening, after the fire has burnt for about 10 minutes and check that in all
positions all the fumes are drawn up into the flue system.
Turn the gas grate off and allow it to cool and then touch up the Gas Grate with Jetmaster heat
resistance paint, if necessary.
12. Important
An open fire presents danger to young children, the elderly or infirm and we recommend
that a fire screen be used for their protection.
Any form of rubbish, cigarette butts, etc. should never be thrown onto the fire, nor should
the coals be poked or the coal lay-out be changed, as this will compromise the gas g
rate’s
performance.
Due to the fact that there might be a paint curing phase of the coals and painted steel
surfaces a slight smell might be noticed for a short period of time after commissioning of
the fire. This is quite normal and any odours should disperse after a short period of usage.
14. Positioning of the Coals
550 and 700 and 850 Gas Convector:
