Spillage Testing
A Spillage Test MUST be made 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.
Insure 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 still problems, the chimney / flue may require attention. Disconnect
the stove and seek expect advice.
Spillage Monitoring System
This appliance is fitted with an atmospheric sensing spillage monitoring system,
in the form of 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 room space. This would usually only occur if the flue path
suffered severe blockage and / or ventilation was severely impeded.
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
spillage monitoring system is replaced, only complete and original
manufactures’ parts may 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.
