15.2 Check for spillage.
1.
Close all doors and windows in the room containing the appliance.
2.
Light the appliance and turn the control knob to the ‘HIGH’ position.
3.
Leave the appliance on for five minutes.
4.
The smoke match should be placed
horizontally into the hotbox at the right hand
side (See figure 34).
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 to the
fireplace surround. If the sealing is satisfactory
but the appliance is installed with the flue
restrictor (See section 8 point 5) remove the
restrictor, reseal the appliance and retest. If
smoke is still not drawn into the appliance
disconnect the appliance and seek expert
advice.
5.
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 smoke is drawn into the appliance, continue with the installation. If the test is not
satisfactory
disconnect the appliance and advise the customer of the cause of
failure
.
