To check the gas pressure at the appliance, allow the coals and the 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 37 mbar +/- 1 mbar - any
appreciable drop may indicate restrictions through the pipework up to the fire. 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.
Spillage Check
Light the appliance and set to the large flame position, 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 20mm down from edge of canopy, 80mm from either side and 45mm back from the front edge. All the
smoke must be drawn into the flue see Fig 8A. If spillage occurs, allow a further 10 minutes. Should spillage
still occur, disconnect the appliance and examine the chimney for the fault and rectify. If an extractor fan is
situated in the room, the test should be repeated with the fan running. 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.
