INSTALLATION

3.COMMISSIONING

3.1Check there are no leaks in the water system and all internal parts are correctly fitted, all seals are undamaged and the air controls and door catch are operating freely. The fit of the door may be adjusted if required by moving the hinge blocks. This may be done by loosening the hinge clamping nuts, and re-tightening when the correct fit is achieved.

3.2Carry out a final smoke draw test on the installed stove, by first warming the flue with a blow-lamp, or similar, for about 10 minutes. Then place a smoke pellet in the stove, with the air controls open, and close the door. Smoke should now be drawn up the flue and be seen to discharge at the terminal. This test should be completed with all doors and windows in the room where the stove is fitted closed. Should this test fail the suitability of the flue system should be re-checked.

3.3Light the stove and gently allow the temperature to increase slowly to operating levels. Check that no combustion products are entering the room. When the stove has reached a steady operating condition open the main firedoor and carry out a spillage test with a smoke match or pellet around the door opening. If excessive spillage does occur allow the stove to cool and re-check the suitability of the flue system.

3.4Check heating system for correct operation and any leaks.

3.5Explain the safe operation of the stove and the use of the controls to the user, along with the need to only use suitable fuels. Also explain the cleaning and routine maintenance requirements.
