12. Commissioning the Fire
Connect a suitable pressure gauge to
the pressure test point. Light the fire
on maximum as described in the “User’s
Instructions”. Check that the setting
pressure is in accordance with that
given on the Chart in the “Technical
Data” Section or on the Data Label
found in the appliance. Adjust the
Natural Gas or Propane Regulator as
necessary. After this has been checked
shut down the gas fire.
Temporarily isolate the fire from the
mains supply. Then disconnect the
pressure gauge, replace the pressure
test point sealing screw, reinstate the
mains supply and test for gas soundness.
Turn the control knob and light the
pilot as described in the “User
Instructions”. Turn the control knob to
the maximum position and fit the ash
pan cover. Check that after ten minutes
all the products of combustion are
entering the flue by traversing the
perimeter of the fireplace opening or
canopy by using a smoke generator e.g.
smoke match.
Once the fire is installed and
opperational the installer must check
for spillage. Carry out the lighting
procedure and turn the fire to high.
Allow to warm up for 5 minutes and
then using a smoke match or joss stick
set 25mm down and 25mm inside of the
fire opening run the match across the
width of the opening to check that all
of the smoke is drawn away. Some small
whiffs of smoke may be expelled from
the extreme ends of the fire opening
and this is quite normal.
Repeat the test with doors and windows
to the premises open and closed, and
with any extractor fans in the same room
or adjacent rooms running on high. The
fire should continue to clear its
combustion products. Also operate any
other flued appliances in the same or
neighbouring rooms and ensure they
continue to function satisfactorily as
multiple flues can work against one
another.
If spillage is detected during this
procedure it could indicate a faulty flue
or lack of ventilation. If the problem
cannot be rectified immediately,
disconnect the appliance, and advise the
customer not to use the appliance until
the problem has been resolved.
The customer should always be advised
of the need for regular servicing and
checks to ensure the continued clearance
of combustion products.
