    Security Chimneys International components. • The BIS ULTIMA is not intended for use with a gas log. Failure to follow these instructions will void the certification and the warranty of the fireplace and may result in an unsafe installation.

  • Page 7: Operating The Bis Ultima

    OPERATING THE BIS ULTIMA 3.2.1 Fuel The BIS ULTIMA is designed to work best when fuelled with seasoned cordwood. Hardwoods are preferred to softwoods since the energy content of wood is relative to its density. Hardwoods will result in a longer burning fire and less frequent refuelling. A moisture content of 15% to 20% (seasoned) is recommended.

  • Page 8: Primary Air And Air Boost Controls

    3.2.4 Primary Air and Air Boost Controls There is no flue damper in the BIS ULTIMA. As is common with air tight stoves, the combustion air control sets the flow of air entering the firebox. This allows for a more precise control of the fire.

  • Page 9: Medium Combustion

    Creosote may accumulate on the glass door. This method of burning should be used only after operating the BIS ULTIMA with the air control opened to produce a hot fire for about an hour or at medium pace for at least 3 hres. Slow combustion can be used at night in order to reduce the heat output and to prolong the burn.

  • Page 10: Smoking - Causes And Troubleshooting

    As the fire burns, air goes up the chimney. This air must be replaced through leakage into the house or through the outside air duct. When operating the BIS ULTIMA, open a nearby window temporarily to check if there is adequate air supply replacement.

  • Page 11: Maintaining Your Bis Ultima

    G. Do not allow the wood to smoulder or burn without flame, since this will produce excessive creosote in the unit. MAINTAINING YOUR BIS ULTIMA 3.3.1 Creosote When wood is burned slowly without a flame, it produces tar and other organic vapors which combine with expelled moisture to form a black deposit called creosote which accumulates on the flue lining.

  • Page 12: Top Baffle Removal Prior To Cleaning The Chimney

    3.3.3 Top Baffle Removal Prior to Cleaning The Chimney Before starting to clean your chimney, we recommend that you remove the top baffle to avoid creosote dust collection at the top of the baffle. Follow these steps to set the top baffle out of the way: 1.

  • Page 13: Door Installation

    Figure 2 3.3.8 Door Installation The door must be installed only when the installation of the BIS ULTIMA is completed. All you have to do is fit the male part of the hinge, already on the door, to the female part, which is on the fireplace.

  • Page 14: Door Adjustment

    Figure 4 3.3.10 Glass Care - Replacement The glass used for the BIS ULTIMA is a high temperature ceramic glass (1400° F). If the glass breaks, it must be replaced with an identical ceramic glass. Tempered glass or ordinary glass will not withstand the high temperatures of the BIS ULTIMA. Replacement glass should be purchased from a Security Chimneys International dealer (see “Replacement...

    36" X 24 ½". Note the floor construction and consult your local building code to determine if additional support is needed. C. The BIS ULTIMA may be installed directly on the floor or on a raised base (for proper guidelines, refer to "Hearth Extension Requirements") and a minimum of 6'8"...
  • Page 16 3.4.3 Framing, Facing And Mantel The construction of the framing, facing, and mantel must be in accordance with the standards and the following illustrations (figures 7 to 11): A. Frame the fireplace using 2" x 3" or heavier lumber. B. WARNING: Combustible materials cannot be used in the space directly above the fireplace, except for the studs above the facade that support the facing and mantel.
  • Page 17 INSULATED CHASE CONSTRUCTION Figure 11...
  • Page 18 Facing 1. Combustible material must be installed flush with the fireplace. It may not project in front of and on the fireplace (i.e. the steel façade of the fireplace) (figure 12). 2. Non-combustible materials such as brick, stone or ceramic tile may project in front of and onto the fireplace facing (figure 13).

  • Page 19: Hot Air Ducting Installation

    HOT AIR DUCTING INSTALLATION Different hot air ducting systems can be installed with the BIS ULTIMA : - Gravity kit - Forced air kit 3.5.1 Gravity Kit Two kits are available: 1. Single hot air outlet including: (see Fig.14) 2. Double hot air outlet including: (See Fig.15) - 2 6"...
  • Page 20 The single outlet system is designed to be installed either flush with the front of the BIS ULTIMA or extended out slightly from the face of the fireplace (if installing with a brick or thick facing for example). To extend the double outlet system, it will be necessary to purchase two adjustable lengths (7B26ZL2A).
  • Page 21 A furnace duct is only single wall and not double wall as is required for the BIS ULTIMA hot air exhaust. For this type of installation refer to “Central Forced Air Kit” on the next page.

  • Page 22: Central Forced Air Kit

    3.5.2 Central Forced Air Kit (Not EPA approved) The knock-outs provided on the back and on the sides of the BIS ULTIMA allow the connection of insulated flexible pipe which enables you to heat adjacent rooms up to 50 feet from the fireplace.

  • Page 23: Outside Air Kit

    OUTSIDE AIR KIT (Optional) During operation, the fireplace requires fresh air for combustion and draws air out of the house. It may starve other fuel burning appliances such as gas or oil furnaces. As well, exhaust fans may compete for air, causing negative pressure in the house, resulting in smoke entering the house from the fireplace.

  • Page 24: The Chimney

    Installations, which are located on lower floors in the house, such as in a basement, in combination with outside chimney, are especially prone to flow reversal. 2. The Security fireplace model BIS ULTIMA is listed only with Security Chimneys International Ltd 6" diameter chimney systems.

  • Page 25: Chimney Installation Instructions

  • Page 31: Angled Wall Radiation Shield

    ANGLED WALL RADIATION SHIELD (RSM+, RSMI30, RSMI45) When traversing a combustible wall with the chimney at a 30º or 45º angle, an angled firestop or wall radiation shield must be installed. Only one is required. Note: 45º angle for Canada only In cold climate locations, we recommend that you use the insulated wall radiation shield since it will maintain the home’s thermal barrier.

  • Page 32: Chimney Support Installation

    CHIMNEY SUPPORT INSTALLATION Universal Roof Support This support has three possible uses: 1. For ASHT+ / HT6103+ and S-2100+ / HT6000+, it must be used on a roof to support the chimney. 2. It may be used on a floor, ceiling or roof above an offset to support the chimney above the offset.
