14. SPILLAGE AND FLAME SUPERVISION CHECKS
14.1 Check for spillage.
IMPORTANT: Only use the smoke match tube supplied with the fire. Do NOT
use other smoke match tubes.
1. Open the isolating valve on the inlet ‘T’ connector. Test around the sealing cap and
pressure test point for gas soundness with a suitable leak detection fluid.
2. Close all doors and windows in the room containing the appliance.
3. Light the appliance and set the slide control to the maximum burning position (This
can be found by sliding the control knob up until a check to the slider movement is
felt).
4. Leave the appliance on for five minutes.
5. Place the smoke match into the appliance outlet (See figure 27).
6. The installation is satisfactory if the smoke is drawn into the appliance. If the
smoke is not drawn into the appliance, leave the appliance alight at the maximum
setting for a further ten minutes and then repeat the test. If smoke is still not drawn
into the appliance, inspect the sealing to the fireplace surround. If the sealing is
satisfactory but the appliance is installed with the flue restrictor (See section 9.3),
adjust the restrictor to the fully open position. To adjust the restrictor, locate the
central screw at the rear of the convected air outlet (See figure 17). Loosen the screw
and with the screw driver still in the head of the screw, slide the restrictor to the
desired position. Secure the restrictor by tightening the screw. Retest the fire. If
smoke is still not drawn into the appliance, disconnect the appliance and seek expert
advice.
