7.3 TEST FOR SPILLAGE
A test for spillage must be made before the installed fire is left with the user. This is carried out in the following manner. Light the fire and
leave at HIGH rate. Close all the doors and windows in the room and after the fire has been alight for five minutes insert a lighted smoke
match into the notch in the canopy in a horizontal direction with the tip 50 mm inside the canopy (See Fig. 30). Hold the match in a metal
tube. If all of the smoke is drawn into the fire the installation is satisfactory. If in doubt, repeat the test after a further ten minutes.
If there is a fan or a fan operated appliance in a connecting room then the spillage test must be repeated with the fan running and all inter-
connecting doors between the fan and the fire left open. If the fan and the fire are in the same room, close all windows and doors
connected to the room. Switch on the fan and repeat the spillage test.
If spillage is detected, inspect the sealing of the fire to the surround / hearth. If this is satisfactory proceed as follows:
If a spigot restrictor was fitted, turn the fire off and remove the spigot restrictor. Re-light the fire and repeat the above spillage test. If there
is still evidence of spillage then there may be a fault with the chimney or insufficient air in the room. If the cause of the spillage cannot be
corrected
DISCONNECT THE FIRE AND SEEK EXPERT ADVICE.
7.4 CHECK IGNITION
Check that ignition of the pilot and the cross lighting to the
main burner is satisfactory.
NB. The spark gap between the electrode and
thermocouple tip should be between 3.0 and 5.0mm (See
Fig 31.).
7.5 CHECK OPERATION OF FSD
Leave the fire running on HIGH rate for 5 minutes and then
turn off the gas at the service cock. After 3 minutes turn the
service cock on again. If the gas has stopped flowing the
FSD has operated satisfactorily.
NOTE: You may hear the FSD valve close within the 3
minute period but always check that the gas has stopped
flowing.
