O. Inspect the Venting System
The fi replace venting system is designed and constructed to develop a positive fl ow adequate to remove fl ue gases to the outside atmosphere. See fi replace installation instructions.
A spillage test must be made before the installed appliance is left with the consumer.
•Close all doors and windows in the home.
•Light the log set (see Lighting Instructions).
•After three minutes, test with a smoke match, smoke candle, stick incense or cigarette 1 in. below the top of the opening (lintel) moving across the full width. If spillage (smoke down into the room) occurs, it will most likely be near the top, outside corners.
Possible cures if spilling occurs:
•The damper needs to be opened further.
•The fi replace opening needs to be reduced by adding a drop panel across the top under the lintel.
•The air supply from outdoors needs to be increased. Open the outside air kit if the appliance is so equipped, or crack open a door or window.
•If necessary, seek expert advice. Do not operate this appliance.
Cleaning
•Periodic examination and cleaning of the venting system of the fireplace should be done before initial use and at least annually by a qualifi ed agency.
