9. SPILLAGE CHECK
1.
Close all doors and windows in the room containing the fire.
2.
Light the appliance and set the control knob to the maximum position (Position 5).
3.
Leave the appliance on for five minutes.
4.
Place a smoke match tube (with lighted match) horizontally underneath the radiant
box but touching the top lip of the box. The tube should be between the two centre
radiants. The tip of the match should
project between 2mm and 5mm
beyond the lowest edge of the radiant
box lip (See figure 13).
5.
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 the
smoke is still not drawn into the
appliance, inspect the sealing of the
closure plate. If the sealing is
satisfactory but the appliance is
installed with the flue restrictor in the
closed position (See section 6.5),
reopen the restrictor, reseal the
appliance and retest.
If smoke is still
not drawn into the appliance, disconnect the appliance and seek expert advice
6.
If the above test is satisfactory, open all internal connecting doors, hatches, etc. in
the room. Keep all doors and windows that open to the outside of the building closed.
Recheck for spillage as above. If an extractor fan is installed in the same room as the
appliance or a connecting room, check that spillage does not occur with the fan
operating and all doors and other openings between the fan and the appliance open.
If the test is satisfactory continue with the installation.
If the test is not satisfactory
disconnect the appliance and advise the customer of the cause of failure.
