18.2 - TESTING FOR SPILLAGE
a.
A restrictor is supplied with the fire for flues that have an effective height greater than 3 meters.
The restrictor is fitted into the duct above the glass door with the 2 screws provided, see below.
b.
Once the fire is operational the installer must check for spillage. Carry out the lighting procedure and turn the fire to high. Allow to
warm up for 5 minutes and then using a smoke match, joss stick or similar, place it centrally above the glass door as shown. The
majority of the smoke must be drawn into the duct. Some small whiffs of smoke may be expelled and this is quite normal. Be
careful not to introduce too much smoke (i.e. by using a pellet). A smoke match tube can be used to make holding of the match
easier.
(See drawing overleaf.)
c.
Repeat the test with doors and windows to the premises/room both open and closed, and with any extractor fans in the same
room or adjacent rooms running at high. The fire should continue to clear its combustion products. Also operate any other flued
appliance in the same or neighbouring rooms and ensure they continue to function satisfactorily as multiple flues can work
against one another.
d.
If spillage is detected during this procedure, remove the restrictor if fitted and repeat the tests.
e.
If spillage is detected and no restrictor is fitted, let the fire operate for a further 10 minutes and re-check.
f.
If the fire continues to spill, it could indicate a faulty flue or lack of ventilation. If the problem cannot be rectified immediately,
disconnect the fire, affix a label and advise the customer not to use it until the problem has been resolved.
g.
It is an offence to use or allow the use of a dangerous appliance.
