Testing
Test the appliance and complete the Appliance
Commissioning Checklist on page 2.
• Check the soundness of door seals and joints.
• Check the operation of the air controls.
Carry out a smoke draw test: - See BS5440
• Warm the flue with a blowlamp, or similar, for
about 10 minutes.
• Place a smoke pellet on the centre of the grate,
with the air controls open.
• Close the door. Smoke should now be drawn
up the flue and be seen to exit from the flue
terminal.
• Complete the test with all doors and windows
closed in the room where the appliance is fitted.
• If there are any extractor fans in adjoining
rooms the test must be repeated with the fans
running on maximum and with interconnecting
doors open.
• If any test fails, re-check the suitability of the
flue system and ventilation as inadequate air
supply to the room is potentially dangerous.
• Explain to the user the safe operation of the
appliance, use of the controls and the importance
of only using suitable fuels.
• Ensure that a CO monitor has been fitted and the
user is aware of its operation and importance.
