Spillage Testing
A Spillage Test MUST be carried out before the installed fire is left with the customer.
Carry out the test by first closing all doors and windows in the room containing the fire.
Ensure that the fire is burning at full rate for a minimum of 10-15 minutes.
Using a lighted smoke match, run it along under the rear edge of the stove. The draught
diverter box is situated at the rear of the stove, the entry being in the rear panel for the
stove. Observe the smoke being drawn into the dilution box. After 10 minutes repeat the
test
If there is an extractor fan in a nearby room the spillage test must be repeated with the
fan running and all connecting doors between the fire and fan left open.
If there are problems, the chimney / flue may require attention, see “Chimney
Requirements” section.
Spillage Monitoring System
This appliance is fitted with an oxygen depletion-sensing pilot. This is designed to shut
down the fire within a safe period if there is an excessive build up of products of
combustion within the stove. On the rear of the stove fitted to the dilution box is a TTB
Disc Stat which monitors any spillage from the stove into the room, if the flue path
suffered severe blockage and / or ventilation was severely impeded this safety device
would also interrupt the gas supply to the stove and switch the appliance off.
THE FOLLOWING ARE IMPORTANANT WARNINGS RELATIVE TO THE SPILLAGE
MONITORING SYSTEM
1. The installer must not attempt any adjustments to the spillage monitoring system.
2. There must be no attempt to disable the spillage monitoring system.
3. It is not possible to replace individual parts of the pilot assembly on the appliance
only a complete pilot assembly (including thermocouple) may be fitted in the
event of a replacement being necessary. When the pilot is replaced, only
complete and original manufactures’ parts must be fitted.
4. Should the appliance turn itself off, wait for a minimum of 3 minutes before
attempting to re-light. In the event of your stove tripping out, consult your
installation engineer to have the flue / chimney checked.
In adverse conditions and when the flue is extremely cold it is possible the products of
combustion may build up inside the stove and not exit via the flue ways correctly, in
this scenario the ODS will activate and turn off the burner. If this occurs try to light the
burner again, this could take several attempts in order to get sufficient heat / draw in
the flue so the products of combustion can leave the stove correctly.
