7.1 Spillage Check
Note:
1. Take care. The appliance gets hot during testing.
2. To carry out the test you will need a 500mm emplume
tube and a torch.
TEST: WHERE NO FAN IS PRESENT
Close all outside doors and doors and windows in the room in
which the appliance is installed.
Light the fire front only. After 5 minutes apply spillage test.
Position the smoke match tip under the fire front flue duct on the
draught diverter lip by inserting the emplume tube 380mm
through the side louvres, see diagram 7.1. During test smoke
should be drawn into the draught diverter and between the fire
front flue duct and the draught diverter lip. If spillage occurs
leave fire front alight for up to a further 10 minutes and repeat
tests.
Next, light the boiler only and after 10 minutes apply spillage test
by positioning smoke match tip as described above, and shown
in diagram 7.1. If spillage occurs, leave the boiler alight for up
to a further 5 minutes and repeat test.
Now light the boiler and fire front. After 10 minutes apply
spillage tests by positioning smoke match tip as described
above, and shown in diagram 7.1. During tests smoke should
be drawn into the boiler draught diverter. If spillage occurs,
leave the boiler and fire front alight for up to a further 5 minutes
and repeat tests.
Note: If spillage does occur smoke will be visible exiting the top
of the fire casing.
TEST. WHERE A FAN IS PRESENT
(A fan means an extractor fan, or a fan for other open flued
appliances, or a circulating fan for a warm air unit, whether or not
gas fired). With the fan switched off carry out the appropriate
spillage test with all doors and windows closed, as above.
If the above tests are satisfactory continue as follows,
Open all doors connecting the room containing the appliance
and the room in which the fan is fitted. Close all other doors and
windows in the premises.
If the fan is in the same room as the appliance close all doors
and windows in that room. Switch on fan and repeat spillage
test as above.
In ALL cases, if spillage continues after the specified test
periods steps MUST be taken to put right the fault(s).
Possible causes include, flue obstructions, down draught or
restricted fresh air supply into the room.

Please ensure the “Benchmark” logbook (supplied with Back
Boiler Unit) is completed and left with the user.
Make sure that the dress guard is securely in position.
Check the operation of the fire at all control positions.
Visually inspect the appliance. Clean off any marks incurred
during installation.
Advise the customer how to operate the fire and boiler.
Explain to the customer that the appliance has a flame failure
and spillage monitoring system. Point out the explanation of this
system in the "Instructions for Use". Advise that if the appliance
goes out for any reason, they must wait at least three minutes
before relighting. Stress that if the monitoring system repeatedly
shuts off the appliance that it must be switched off and their local
