• First 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
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.

to operating levels
• Ensure no combustion products enter the room
• Open the main fire door when the appliance reaches
operating condition and carry out a spillage test with a
smoke match or pellet around the door opening

• Allow the appliance to cool and re-check the flue system
and ventilation

• Explain the safe operation of the appliance and the use
of the controls to the user and the importance of only
using suitable fuels
• Explain the cleaning and routine maintenance
requirements
