6.2 Fireplace flue pull.
Close all doors and windows in the room in which the appliance is to be installed. After
confirming with a match that smoke is drawn into the flue, light a 13 gram smoke pellet
and check that there is a definite flow through the flue. Verify outside that the smoke
exits from one terminal only and that the termination is suitable. Observe where
possible, upstairs rooms and loft spaces for signs of escaping smoke indicating a
defective flue. If there is not a definite flow warm the flue for a few minutes and repeat
the smoke pellet test. If there is still no definite flow the flue may need remedial work –
Do not fit the appliance until there is a definite flow through the flue.
7. IGNITION CHECK
Before attempting to install, it is worth checking that the ignition system performs
satisfactorily.
Set the control knob to the off position.
Depress the control knob and rotate it anticlockwise to the pilot ignition position. A
'click' will be heard as the integral
piezo operates. A spark should be
seen between the electrode and pilot
tip. If there is no spark check the
following: -
!
Ensure that the electrode lead is
connected to the terminal at the
base of the electrode.
!
If the above is correct, check for
damage to the electrode lead.
8. GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION
A nut and olive are provided for an 8mm pipe inlet connection to the ‘T’ connector at
the bottom front of the appliance. The ‘T’ connector can be rotated to allow a
connection from any direction. The ‘T’ connector includes a valve for isolating the gas
supply and a pressure test point.
The supply pipe must be rigid material. Flexible pipe must not be used.
Concealed supply pipe connection.
If a concealed connection from inside the fireplace is required then
,
before the
appliance is fitted into the fireplace
it will be necessary to extend the supply line so
that it will project through the hole in the back of the hotbox and run to the ‘T’
connector at the front. The pipe run from the supply line up to the rear opening in the
