For operating instructions for the appliance please refer to sections 5.0 and 5.1 of the users instructions.
8.4 OPERATING THE APP IANCE GB IE
Release the pressure test point screw, and attach a pressure gauge. Light the fire on the
HIGH setting. To commission the appliance, the operating pressure must be in accordance
with the figures stated in section 2.0 of these instructions. The fire is factory set to achieve
the correct flow rates at the specified inlet pressure.
Any significant variation in the inlet pressure could indicate a supply problem. If the inlet
pressure is too high, the gas supply meter/governor may be set incorrectly. This should be
checked with the fire running and if necessary reset by the gas supplier. If the inlet pressure
is too low, then check the meter/governor pressure with the appliance running. If this is less
than the inlet pressure stated in section 2.0 of these instructions it will need to be reset by
the gas supplier. If the inlet pressure is too low, but the meter/governor pressure is accept-
able, then a problem in the supply pipework is to be suspected. Upon satisfactory checking
of the inlet pressure, turn the fire off, disconnect the pressure gauge and refit the test point
screw. Light the fire and check for gas soundness. In the event that the inlet pressure is not
in accordance with the figures stated in the data section of these instructions, the appliance must not be commissioned, and the prob-
lem investigated and rectified.
Slide control models : The pressure test point is located on the left hand side of the burner.
Remote control models : The pressure test point is located on the left hand side of the burner.
Release the pressure test point screw, and attach a pressure gauge. Light the fire on the HIGH setting. To commission the appliance, the
burner pressure must be in accordance with the figures stated in section 2.0 of these instructions.
The fire is factory set to achieve these pressures and any significant variation could indicate a supply problem. If the pressure is too high,
the gas supply meter may be set incorrectly. This should be checked with the fire running and if necessary reset by the gas supplier.
Upon satisfactory checking of the burner pressure, turn the fire off, disconnect the pressure gauge and refit the test point screw. Light
the fire and check for gas soundness. In the event that the burner pressure is not in accordance with the figures stated in the data sec-
tion of these instructions, the appliance must not be commissioned, and the manufacturer should be contacted for guidance.

8.6 F UE SPI AGE MONITORING SYSTEM
This fire is fitted with a flue spillage safety device (O S). If the fire shuts down during use for no apparent reason then several things
may be suspected. If a door or window has been opened creating a draught, then pilot disturbance is the problem, and removal of the
draught should resolve this. The gas pressure reaching the fire must also be checked (again, recall your installer to check and rectify any
problem). The thermocouple connection into the back of the gas control valve may also have worked loose during installation, simply
get the installer to tighten. If pilot disturbance is not the cause, then the O S safety system may be in operation. Switch the appliance
OFF, check the flue and carry out any remedial work required. Relight the fire and carry out a spillage test.
O NOT allow the appliance to be used if it continues to fail a spillage test. The aeration hole of the pilot must be carefully cleaned out
on each annual service to ensure continued function of the O S.The spillage monitoring system shall not be adjusted, modified, or put
out of operation by the installer. Any spare parts fitted MUST be of a type supplied for the purpose by the appliance manufacturer. If the
fire is not spilling, then further guidance should be sought, using the Troubleshooting section as a guide.
8.7 TESTING FOR SPI AGE

Tube
Figure 18 : Cross section of
smoke match tube
Make a smoke match tube from
10mm diameter tube. Seal off one
end and crimp the tube to prevent
the smoke match from sliding down
inside.
Figure 19 : Note; insert the smoke match tube
centrally
Figure 20 : Section view of the draft diverter
Note; insert smoke match tube until the end of the
tube touches the draft diverter baffle
Let the fire run on HIGH for five minutes. Take a smoke match and put in the smoke match tube. Light the smoke match and position
the end of the smoke match tube centrally next to the draught diverter as shown in figures 19 and 20.
