1. 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 vapours 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.
