TEST FOR SPILLAGE

A spillage test must be made before the installed fire is left with
the customer.  Carry out the test in the following manner before
refitting the outer case

(Note: This appliance is supplied with a special smoke match
tube).

13.1

Close all doors and windows in the room containing

the fire.

13.2

Light the fire and set the control to No.3 position.

13.3

After the appliance has been alight for five minutes

test with a lighted smoke match inserted in the special tube
supplied.  Insert the tube horizontally at the left side along the
rear edge of the downdraught diverter up to the mark on the
tube (100mm from the end) - see figure 17.

13.4

The installation is satisfactory if smoke is drawn into

the downdraught diverter.

13.5

If the smoke is not drawn in, leave for a further ten

minutes and then repeat the test.

13.6

If the smoke is still not drawn in, remove the

appliance and inspect the sealing of the closure plate.  If this is
satisfactory but spillage persists open all doors and windows
and recheck as above.
If the test is then satisfactory it indicates that the room lacks
sufficient ventilation.  If still unsatisfactory, the chimney may
require attention.

Disconnect the fire and seek expert advice.
13.7

If an extractor fan is installed in the same room as the

fire or a connecting room, check that spillage does not occur with the fan operating and all doors between the fan and the
fire open.

14.

FIT THE OUTER CASE

14.1

Detach the control knob and control bezel.

14.2

Refit the outer case.  Make sure that the flange at the top

rear of the outer case locates over the top corner brackets on the
back panel.

14.3

Secure the case at the bottom sides with the knurled screws

previously removed.

14.4

Refit the control bezel using the knurled screw.  Make sure

that the two pegs on the bezel locate in the holes in the gas tap
bracket.

14.5

Fit the control knob over the gas tap spindle.  Push firmly

on.

14.6

Make sure that the fuel effect pieces are not dislodged

when refitting the case.

14.7

If necessary, adjust the brass dogs at the casing front sides

by slackening the screws behind the dogs and moving the dogs until
they rest on the hearth.  Retighten the screws.

14.8

Fit the window trim.  Insert the trim side channels under

the bottom front of the hood.  Slide them evenly upwards.  Push
the channels gently against the window frame sides so that the trim
channels are fully upright.  Slide the trim channels down so that the
flanges on the inside of the channels locate fully over the angled
brackets on the window frame sides - see figure 18.
