SMOKE MATCH IN TUBE

7.3 TEST FOR SPILLAGE

A test for spillage must be made before the installed fire is left with the user. This is carried out in the following manner. Light the fire and

leave at HIGH rate. Close all the doors and windows in the room and after the fire has been alight for five minutes insert a lighted smoke

match into the notch in the canopy in a horizontal direction with the tip 50 mm inside the canopy (See Fig. 20). Hold the match in a metal

tube. If all of the smoke is drawn into the fire the installation is satisfactory. If in doubt, repeat the test after a further ten minutes.

If there is a fan or a fan operated appliance in a connecting room then the spillage test must be repeated with the fan running and all

inter-connecting doors between the fan and the fire left open. If the fan and the fire are in the same room, close all windows and doors

connected to the room. Switch on the fan and repeat the spillage test.

If spillage is detected, inspect the sealing of the fire to the surround / hearth. If this is satisfactory proceed as follows:

If a spigot restrictor was fitted, turn the fire off and remove the spigot restrictor. Re-light the fire and repeat the above spillage test. If

there is still evidence of spillage then there may be a fault with the chimney or insufficient air in the room. If the cause of the spillage

cannot be corrected DISCONNECT THE FIRE AND SEEK EXPERT ADVICE.

7.4 CHECK IGNITION

Check that ignition of the pilot and the cross lighting to the main burner is

satisfactory.

NB. The spark gap between the electrode and thermocouple tip should

be between 3.0 and 5.0mm (See Fig 21.).

7.5 CHECK OPERATION OF FSD

Leave the fire running on HIGH rate for 5 minutes and then turn off the

gas at the service cock. After 3 minutes turn the service cock on again. If

the gas has stopped flowing the FSD has operated satisfactorily.

NOTE: You may hear the FSD valve close within the 3 minute period but

always check that the gas has stopped flowing.
