COMMISSIONING
3. Initial Lighting of the Stove (Including Hot Flue Draught Test)
Lighting Procedure:
•
Once the 昀氀ue tests are complete, load a small amount of fuel and light the stove, allowing it to reach
its operating temperature.
• As the stove heats up, monitor the curing process. The paint may soften and release a haze. Open
windows to ventilate the room and observe from a safe distance.
Hot Flue Draught Test:
•
•
After the stove has reached operating temperature, insert the 昀氀ue draught gauge into the test hole
again.
A minimum hot 昀氀ue draught reading of 12 Pascal should be observed to con昀椀rm suf昀椀cient chimney
draw for safe and ef昀椀cient operation. Log this reading for the commissioning sheet.
Advise the customer not to run the stove at full output for at least 3 – 4 days. Explain that the stoves
can provide much more or less output than their rated heat outputs depending upon fuels, fuel loads
used and how they are operated.
Warn the customer that using excessive air (having the air controls open too wide for too long with a full
fuel load) can over-昀椀re and irreparably damage the stove.
Damage caused by over 昀椀ring is not covered by any warranty.
On completion of the installation and commissioning, check all parts of the appliance are correctly 昀椀tted
and ensure that the operating instructions and gloves for the stove are left with the customer. You must
be sure to advise the customer on the correct use of the appliance with the fuels likely to be used on the
stove and warn them to use only the recommended fuels for the stove.
Advise the user on what to do should smoke or fumes be emitted into the room from the stove - See
safety notes section. The user should be warned that they must use a suitable 昀椀reguard in the presence
of children, aged and/or in昀椀rm persons.
Fill in the Commissioning and Warranty Checklist on page 3. This form must be completed by the
installation engineer to validate the appliance warranty and support any future guarantee claims. Failure
to complete this checklist will void the appliance warranty.
