Check flue
In order to guarantee correct functioning, we advise you to test/ignite the
Heat Pure at the earliest possible opportunity (before it has been
completely built-in) (see Chapter 5 Lighting the fireplace). Why?
•
This will allow you to decide if an external damper is necessary
.
•
The enamel can also cure before the surround is finished. Allowing the
enamel to cure will also cause less nuisance for the end user.
•
This gives you the chance to find out in an early stage, whether or not
the fireplace-flue combination is working correctly.
Checklist (to be executed) when using the fireplace
1.
Check the flue for proper functioning; minimum required draught
(suction) is 12 Pa.
2.
Test the air slide valve for proper functioning; this will work after the
fire has burnt for 50 minutes: (see chapter 3.3.1)
- extreme right position = maximum supply of combustion air
- extreme left position = air supply closed; the flames will slowly
extinguish.
If the flames do not react, or do not react enough, to the change in
the air slide position, it may be worthwhile considering installing an
external damper on the Heat Pure.
3.
After a while close all windows and doors and ensure that all
appliances that remove air from the home, such as cooker hoods, fans
etc. are switched off. Check if the appliance can be used with an
opened door (no smoke trickles back into the room). (see chapter
3.3)
4.
Use a little smoke to check for correct supply and exhaust of
convection air.
