NOTES
The first time that the appliance is used there will be some odour produced due to the newness of
the materials. It is recommended that the unit is fired at maximum setting for several hours and
the room is kept ventilated during this period. It is usual for flueless appliances to produce an
initial odour after start up.
If the pilot flame should ever extinguish of its own accord, ventilate the room and allow a
minimum of 5 minutes before relighting.
Never attempt to relight the unit if there is a gas smell, ventilate the room first.
If the appliance continues to extinguish after a period of use, do not use it and seek the advice of
your installer.
GENERAL
As with all gas appliances, this fire MUST be serviced at least every 12 months, preferably at the
start of the heating season. The second year guarantee is conditional on this service taking place.
Servicing must be carried out by a qualified service engineer.
Points to Note Regarding the Catalytic Convertor
•
If the customer smokes tobacco products, lives on a busy road or is cooking with a gas
oven/hob at the time of testing you must ensure that an ambient CO reading is taken
before lighting the fire and attempting a reading.
•
Does the catalytic convertor need replacing?
The catalytic convertor does not need
replacing unless it has become physically broken or the combustion test shows
deterioration in performance over time. To constantly test the performance of the catalytic
converter, our laboratory has been running appliances eight hours per day, five days per
week, for up to seven years. Periodically we send catalytic converters back to the
manufacturer for testing. After the equivalent of 30 years of use, the catalytic converter is
as efficient as it was when brand new. Burley manages to achieve this by designing the fire
to ensure that the catalytic converter is in exactly the right position for long life and
maximum efficiency. (For other makes of fire please consult the relevant manufacturer).
Only use replacement catalyst supplied by Burley.
•
If you or the customer detects any odours from the fire please remember that the catalytic
convertor is not an air filter and does not remove smells. The ceramics in the fire can
absorb household smells and in turn these smells get emitted when the fire is lit, especially
if the fire is used in an enclosed space for a period of time. If this is the case we
recommend that the fire is run on maximum for at least 5 hours with the doors and
windows open. This should be done at least twice a year, preferably in the spring and
autumn or at any time they notice a smell.
•
We do not advise the burning of wax candles within 1 metre of the fire. Wax particles can
become airborne and deposit and solidify in the fire causing potential combustion
problems.
•
The catalyst can also be affected by airborne paint smells and vapors from some plug in air
fresheners. The fire must be removed or sealed if you plan to decorate anywhere in the
house. If you can detect smells from the fire carry out the burning off procedure as above.
