1.1Close all windows and doors to the room, check all controls, and allow fire to burn on maximum for 5 minutes. Test for spillage of flue products using a smoke match. For standard VFC fires, pass the lighted smoke match along the top front edge just inside the opening or canopy. For the RD VFC only, hold the lighted smoke match centrally inside the flue opening. See diagram 1 for Radiant fires and 2 for Convector fires.

1.2If the fire spills, run for a further 10 minutes and re-check. If there is still spillage, disconnect the fire and seek expert advice.

1.3If there are extractor fans in the room or adjacent rooms, the spillage test must be repeated with the extractors running on maximum.

1.4For RD VFC: If spillage is detected and no air vent is fitted in the room, re-check for spillage with a window slightly open. If this cures the spillage, it will be necessary to fit a vent.

IF SPILLAGE PERSISTS, DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE AND SEEK EXPERT ADVICE.
