COMMISSIONING

1.1To commission:

Replace the firebricks, baffle, and log retainer

Check the door alignment and catch operation, adjust if required, see Installation Section 6. Adjusting Door hinges

Check the soundness of door seals, castings and joints

Check the operation of the air controls

1.2Now carry out a final smoke draw test:

First warming 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 test with all doors and windows closed in the room where the appliance is fitted

If there are any extractor fans in adjacent rooms, the test must be repeated with the fans running on maximum and interconnecting doors open

Check the effect of ceiling fans during the test

If the test fails, re-check the suitability of the flue system and ventilation. An inadequate air supply to the room is potentially dangerous.

Light the appliance and slowly increase the temperature to operating levels

Ensure no combustion products enter the room

Open the main fire door when the appliance reaches operating condition and carry out a spillage test with a smoke match or pellet around the door opening

1.3If excessive spillage occurs:

Allow the appliance to cool and re-check the flue system and ventilation

1.7Finally:

Explain the safe operation of the appliance and the use of the controls to the user and the importance of only using suitable fuels

All open flued appliances can be affected by temporary atmospheric conditions which may allow fumes to enter the house. Because of this it is recommended that an electronic carbon monoxide detector conforming to BSEN50291 be fitted and maintained.

Explain the cleaning and routine maintenance requirements

Explain the requirement to use a suitable fireguard when children, elderly or infirm persons are near the appliance
