Checking Operation of Fine
Turn on the gas supply at the meter and to the appliance at the isolating cock. Purge the air to the
appliance. Rotate the control knob to the ignition position, depress the control and push the piezo to ignite
the pilot. Check that the electrode is sparking to the tip of the thermocouple and continue until a pilot
ignition is established. Depress the control knob slightly and rotate anti-clockwise until the index symbol
is aligned with the small flame symbol on the indicator label. Release and rotate the control knob to the
high position (large flame symbol) and check that the flame picture is satisfactory prior to carrying out the
spillage test.
To check the gas pressure at the appliance, allow the coals and coal bed to cool and turn off the gas
supply at the isolating cock. Remove the hexagon headed screw and connect a manometer to the pressure
test point, turn on the gas and ignite the fire allow to heat up and check that the gas pressure is 20+/-1
mbar- any appreciable drop may indicate losses through the pipework. The pressure test point may also be
used to check for leakage of the joints to the appliance. Allow the coal bed to cool before replacing the
screw.
Turn the gas control to the OFF position, wait for 90 seconds, fully depress the gas control, turn to the
ignition position and release the control. Attempt to light the pilot with an already prepared match or
taper, if the pilot lights the FSD is faulty.
Spillage Check
Light the appliance and set to the maximum input, locate the front and fret in position and leave to warm
up for 5 minutes. Check for satisfactory clearance of combustion products by positioning a lighted smoke
match in the centre of the fire opening, 200mm below the canopy and level with the rear edge of the front
simulated coal. See fig. 14. All the smoke must be drawn into the flue, if spillage occurs, allow a further
10 minutes. Should spillage still occur, disconnect the appliance and examine the chimney for the fault
and rectify- The test should be repeated if an extractor fan is situated in the room, if there is a connected
room, the test should be repeated with all the doors in that room opened.
Demonstrate the lighting and extinguishing procedures to the user
Advise that:
The curing effect of heating the coals will cause an initial odour which, although not harmful, may require
additional ventilation until the odour has disappeared.
Any debris or soot is cleaned from the appliance. Advise the customer that they should read their Users
Instructions before operating the fire and always follow the ?Readvicmovael of in the section headed
Debris or Soot Deposits?. The appliance must be serviced annually by a competent person in accordance
with these instructions and the appliance is checked for spillage in accordance with the method detailed in
these instructions.
