Spillage Check

Checking Operation of Fire

Turn on the gas supply at the meter and to the appliance at the isolating cock. Purge the air from the appliance. Press and turn the gas control anti-clockwise, keep the control fully depressed. The igniter will operate and the pilot will light, check that the electrode is sparking to the head of the pilot burner, continue until a pilot ignition is established. 0nce a pilot- flame has been established; keep the control depressed for a further 20 seconds. Release the gas control and check that the pilot remains lit. Depress the control knob slightly and rotate anti-clockwise until the index symbol is aligned with the LOW symbol on the indicator label. Release and rotate the control knob to the high position (HIGH symbol) and allow the appliance to run for a period of approximately 5 minutes, check for satisfactory flame picture prior to carrying out the spillage test.

To check the gas pressure at the appliance, allow the coals and the coal bed to cool and turn off the gas supply at the isolating cock, remove the hexagon headed screw and connect a manometer to the pressure test point. Turn on the gas and ignite the fire, allow to heat up and check that the gas pressure is 20 +/- 1 mbar any appreciable drop may indicate losses through pipework. The pressure test point may also be used to check for leakage of the joints to the appliance. Turn ‘OFF’ the gas supply to the fire, remove the pressure gauge, replace the screw and then turn the gas supply 'ON'. Fit the fire front.

Turn the gas control to the OFF position, wait for 90 seconds, fully depress the gas control, turn to the ignition position and release the control. Attempt to light the pilot with an already prepared match or taper. If the plot lights the FSD is faulty.

The appliance should be run on high setting for at least 5 minutes prior to the test with the front and fret located in position. The test must be carried out with all windows and doors of the room closed, if an extractor fan is situated in the room, this test should be repeated with the fan running. If there is a connected room with an extractor fan, the test should be repeated with all the doors to that room opened and the extractor fan running. All smoke must be drawn into the flue. If spillage occurs, allow a further 10 minutes. Should spillage still occur examine the chimney for the fault and rectify.

Check for satisfactory clearance of products by positioning a lighted smoke match central to the opening 120mm down from the canopy and level with the rear edge of the front simulated coal. See Fig. 6A.

Demonstrate the lighting and extinguishing procedures to the user.

Advise that:

The curing effect of heating the coals will cause an initial odour which, although not harmful, may require additional ventilation until the odour has disappeared.
