FLUE SPILLAGE MONITORING SYSTEM
This fire is fitted with a flue spillage safety device (ODS). If the fire shuts down during use for no apparent
reason then several things may be suspected. If a door or window has been opened creating a draught, then
pilot disturbance is the problem, and removal of the draught should resolve this. The gas pressure reaching
the fire must also be checked. The thermocouple connection into the back of the gas control valve may also
have worked loose during installation, simply tighten to remedy if this is the case.
If pilot disturbance is not the cause, then the ODS safety system may be in operation. Switch the appliance
OFF, check the flue and carry out any remedial work required. Relight the fire and carry out a spillage test.
DO NOT allow the appliance to be used if it continues to fail a spillage test. The aeration hole of the pilot
must be carefully cleaned out on each annual service to ensure continued function of the ODS.
The spillage monitoring system shall not be adjusted, modified, or put out of operation by the installer. Any
spare parts fitted MUST be of a type supplied for the purpose by the appliance manufacturer.
If the fire is not spilling, then further guidance should be sought, using the Troubleshooting section as a
guide.
TESTING FOR SPILLAGE
Close all doors and windows to the room containing the appliance. Let the fire run on HIGH for five minutes.
Take a smoke match, light it, and using a smoke match tube, hold it at the top edge of the fire opening,
25mm down and 25mm in. Starting 50mm in from either side, run the smoke match across the opening. All
the smoke should be drawn away up the flue. Any smoke returning into the room indicates that spillage is
occurring. If the initial spillage test fails, run the fire for a further 10 minutes and repeat the test. When the
test has been completed satisfactorily, repeat with any extractor fans in the premises running on the high-
est setting, and any communicating doors open. Finally, repeat with all doors open.
NOTE: If spillage is still indicated after undertaking all of the above, there may be a fault in the flue,
or insufficient ventilation is present.
If the problem
cannot be rectified immediately, then expert advice should be sought. Inform the user, disconnect the fire,
and attach an explanatory label.
BRIEFING THE CUSTOMER
All instructions must be handed to the user for safekeeping.
Show the customer how to light and control
the fire
.
After commissioning the appliance, the customer should be instructed on the safe use of the appliance and
the need for regular servicing. Frequency of service depends on usage, but MUST be carried out at least once
annually.
Scratched and other superficial damage to any matt black paintwork of the appliance can be covered with
matching heatproof spray. Use only the manufacturers’ recommended spray paint. Paint only when the fire
is OFF and cold. Always mask off the surrounding area to prevent contamination with overspray. Ventilate
the room during the use of the spray.
DO NOT attempt to spray paint the pebbles or ceramics, or wash them in water.
