11. FULL OPERATING CHECKS
11.1. Control operation check
(See figure 39)
1. Turn on the gas supply and check all joints for leaks using a soap solution or leak
detection fluid.
2. Push inandturn the gas controlknobanticlockwise untilresistance is felt just
before the “IGN” position.
3. Keep pushed in for a few seconds to allow gas to flow then, keeping knob
depressed, turn to “PILOT” to light pilot. Hold knob in for a further 5seconds then
release. The knob should pop back out. Pilot should remain lit.
4. When pilot is lit, partially depress the knob and turn to“ON” position.
5. Check the thermostat controls.
The built-in modulating thermostatic control automatically adjusts flame height up ordown to maintain room comfort. This
provides steady heat output rather than on/off heating like some other thermostat systems. This results in superior room
comfort and better heaterefficiency*.
*If, however, even when the flames are fully lowered the temperature cannot be reduced down to the chosen heat setting, the systemwill shut the
main burner off leaving the pilot only on until the temperature has dropped to an acceptable level. The burner will then relight.
Check the thermostat: a) By rotating the thermostat knob next to the gas control knob (See fig. 39).
b) By depressing the rockerswitch at the side of thestove.Pressing the upperhalfshould raise the
flames. Pressing the lower half should lower them.
c) If applicable, by operating the remote control hand set.
6. Turn off after checking.
11.2. Check the reference pressure
The appliance is pre-set to give the correct heat input at the inlet pressure shownin
section 2 ofthis manual. Check the burner pressure by fitting a pressure gauge at
the test point. The test point is the rear of the two tapping points at the left side of
the control valve – See figure 40. Checkthe pressure withtheappliance alight and
the thermostat set at its maximum position.
Afterchecking,turnoff the appliance.Remove the pressure gauge and replacethe
test point sealingscrew. Relight the appliance. Turn to the maximum thermostat
position andtest around the sealing screw for gas soundness with a suitable leak
detection fluid.
11.3. Conduct spillage check
A spillage check must be made before leaving the installed appliance with the
customer. Make this with all the ceramic fuel effects in position. Use the smoke
match tube supplied.
1. Close all doors and windows in the room containing the appliance.
2. Turnthe gas control to the on position and thermostat to the highest
setting.
3. Leave the appliance on for five minutes.
4. Place thesmoke match tube in the slot at the left side of the flue adapter
box as shown in figure 41. Insert the end ofthe tube to 4-8mm.The
installation is satisfactory if the majority of the smoke is drawn into the
adapter box and up to the flue pipe. If the flue is blocked or has strong reverse
flow,the thermally actuatedswitch mounted inthe adapterbox will
automatically shut off the gas supply within about ten minutes.
5. If most of the smoke is not drawn in,leave for about ten minutes and then try again.
6. If the majority of the smoke is stillnot drawn into the adapterand flue pipe, turn thestove off and check for cause of
spillage, if necessary get expert advice. Until the failure is cured disconnect the appliance and advise the customer of the problem.
7. If the above test issatisfactory, open all internal connecting doors, hatches, etc. in the room. Keep all doors andwindows
that open to the outside of the building closed. Switch on anyextractor fan installed inthe same room as the appliance or a
connecting room. Open all doors and other openings between the fan and the appliance. Recheck for spillage as above. If the
majority ofthe smoke is drawninto the adapter box and up tothe flue pipe, continue withthe installation.Ifthetest is not
satisfactory, disconnect the appliance and advise the customer of the cause of failure.
