1.1 Replace the firebricks, baffle, and log retainer.
1.2 Check the door alignment and catch operation, adjust if
required.
1.3 Inspect the door seals for damage and check the operation
of the air controls.
1.4 Carry out a final smoke draw test, by first warming the
flue with a blowlamp, or similar, for about 10 minutes.
Then place a smoke pellet on the centre of the grate, with
the air controls open, and close the door. Smoke should
now be drawn up the flue and be seen to exit from the
flue terminal. This test should be completed with all doors
and windows in the room where the stove is fitted closed.
Should this test fail the suitability of the flue system and
ventilation should be re-checked. An inadequate air supply
to the room in which the stove is installed could lead to the
escape of gasses which is potentially dangerous.
1.5 Light the appliance and gently allow the temperature
to increase slowly to operating levels. Check that no
combustion products are entering the room. When the
stove has reached a steady operating condition open the
main firedoor and carry out a spillage test with a smoke
match or pellet around the door opening.
1.6 If excessive spillage does occur allow the appliance to
cool and re-check the suitability of the flue system and
ventilation.
1.7 Explain the safe operation of the stove and the use of
the controls to the user, along with the need to only use
suitable fuels. Also, explain the cleaning and routine
maintenance requirements.
1.8 Explain the requirement to use a suitable fireguard when
children, elderly or infirm persons may be near the
appliance.
1.9 Record dealer/supplier details and installer details in
Instructions.
1.10 Record serial number in Instructions. This number will be
required when ordering spare parts and making warranty
claims, see Section 1 General, page 4 for location.
1.11 Give the copy of the Instructions to the customer.
