Before handing over the installation to the customer it is a requirement under Document J (of the
Building Regulations for England and Wales) that the appliance is lit, and the functioning of the
chimney system is checked for satisfactory operation.
Be sure that the chimney is operating, and all smoke and fumes are vented to the
atmosphere through the chimney terminal.
Check all joints and seals.
Clean the outside of the cold appliance with a lint free cloth or shoe brush to prevent any stains
becoming burnt on.
Check the flue draught which should read 10-20pa, or 0. 1-0. 2 mbar.
Consult a suitably qualified person who will have the knowledge and equipment to perform a test.
