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.
Magiglo
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
Magiglo.
•
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.
