COMMISSIONING  
1. COMMISSIONING  
1.1 Close all windows and doors to the room, check all controls,  
and allow fire to burn on maximum for 5 minutes. Test for  
spillage of flue products using a smoke match. For standard  
VFC fires, pass the lighted smoke match along the top front  
edge just inside the opening or canopy. For the RD VFC only,  
hold the lighted smoke match centrally inside the flue  
opening. See diagram 1 for Radiant fires and 2 for Convector  
fires.

AR0179  
1.2 If the fire spills, run for a further 10 minutes and re-check. If  
there is still spillage, disconnect the fire and seek expert  
advice.  
1.3 If there are extractor fans in the room or adjacent rooms, the  
spillage test must be repeated with the extractors running on  
maximum.  
1.4 For RD VFC: If spillage is detected and no air vent is fitted in  
the room, re-check for spillage with a window slightly open. If  
this cures the spillage, it will be necessary to fit a vent.  
IF SPILLAGE PERSISTS, DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE AND  
SEEK EXPERT ADVICE.  
For future reference record the installation details on the  
commissioning sheet on page 4 of these instructions.

SERVICING REQUIREMENTS  
This appliance must be serviced at least one a year by a  
competent person.  
FLAME FAILURE FUNCTIONAL CHECK  
PILOT WILL NOT STAY LIT OR FIRE GOES OUT  
1. SERVICING REQUIREMENTS  
If the appliance goes out in use continually, this may mean  
that the  
oxygen depletion sensor has been activated. The appliance  
should not be used  
1.1 As part of the annual service, the space behind the convector  
must be inspected for any debris, which may have fallen down  
the chimney.  
until the cause has been found and rectified.  
1.2 Remove the gas fire from the convector as detailed in section 4  
Ensure there is no debris around the pilot assembly, e.g.  
coal, soot, etc.  
Check for fluff in the pilot aeration hole. See diagram 7.  
1.3 Remove the convector box from the wall, see section 5 in  
Installation.  
1.3 Inspect the space behind the convector for debris and the  
condition of the chimney, the flue flow test should be carried  
out now. Remove any debris and carry out any necessary  
remedial work.  
Light the pilot and keep the control knob pushed in at least  
10 seconds before letting go  
YES

This is for use only by qualified Installers and Service Engineers.  
NO  
NO  
Problem is  
with  
the pipework  
or  
fittings which  
lead to the  
fire. Correct  
and retry  
Note: Many problems can be attributed to poor pilot flame length  
caused by blocked jets as the orifice is very small. If the flame  
length is much shorter than that shown in the diagram, the pilot  
may have to be changed. See diagram 7.  
YES  
It is always worth using the nozzle of a vacuum cleaner over the  
end of the pilot to ensure that it has no debris within it. In  
addition, many ignition problems are caused by incorrect spark  
gap, ensure it is set as in diagram 7.
