COMMISSIONING
1.1To commission:
—Replace the baffle and log guard.
—Check the door alignment and catch operation and adjust if required (see Maintenance & Servicing, Section 7).
—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:
—Warm 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 with 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.
—Ensure no combustion products enter the room.
—Open the main fire door when the appliance reaches operating temperature 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.
1.4Finally:
—Explain to the user the safe operation of the appliance, use of the controls 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.
—Record retailer/supplier and installer details in
Appliance Commissioning Checklist (page 3, Instructions for Use).
—Record serial number in Appliance Commissioning
Checklist (page 3, Instructions for Use).
This number is required when ordering spare parts and making warranty claims (see diagram below).
