COMMISSIONING
1.1 To commission:
—Replace the baffle and log guard.
—Check the door alignment and catch operation and
adjust if required (see Maintenance & Servicing,
Section 7).
—Check the soundness of door seals, castings and joints.
—Check the operation of the air controls.
1.2 Now carry out a final smoke draw test:
—Warm the flue with a blowlamp, or similar, for about 10
minutes.
—Place a smoke pellet on the centre of the grate, with the
air controls open.
—Close the door. Smoke should now be drawn up the flue
and be seen to exit from the flue terminal.
—Complete test with all doors and windows closed in the
room where the appliance is fitted.
—If there are any extractor fans in adjacent rooms the test
must be repeated with the fans running on maximum
and with interconnecting doors open.
—Check the effect of ceiling fans during the test.
If the test fails, re-check the suitability of the flue system
and ventilation. An inadequate air supply to the room is
potentially dangerous.
—Light the appliance and slowly increase the temperature.
—Ensure no combustion products enter the room.
—Open the main fire door when the appliance reaches
operating temperature and carry out a spillage test with a
smoke match or pellet around the door opening.
1.3 If excessive spillage occurs allow the appliance to cool and
re-check the flue system and ventilation.
1.4 Finally:
—Explain to the user the safe operation of the
appliance, use of the controls and the importance of
only using suitable fuels.
—All open flued appliances can be affected
by temporary atmospheric conditions which may
allow fumes to enter the house. Because of this
it is recommended that an electronic carbon
monoxide detector conforming to BSEN50291 be fitted
and maintained.
