  • Page 6: The Fireplace

    THE FIREPLACE INTRODUCTION The BIS ULTRA fireplace is an energy efficient, heat circulating, close combustion fireplace. You will receive a lifetime of comfort and enjoyment from your fireplace provided it is installed, maintained and operated properly. • Please read these instructions and retain this manual for future reference. •...

  • Page 7: Operating The Bis Ultra

    OPERATING THE BIS ULTRA Fuel The BIS ULTRA is designed to work best when fueled 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 refueling. A moisture content of 15% to 20% (seasoned) is recommended.

  • Page 8: Combustion Control

    Combustion control There is no flue damper in the BIS ULTRA. As is common with air tight stoves, the combustion air damper controls the air entering the firebox. This allows more precise control of the fire The combustion air damper knob is located below the left door. It is opened when moved completely to the left.

  • Page 9: Medium Combustion

    Medium combustion This is the recommended mode of operating the BIS ULTRA and should be the one normally used since it will deposit the least amount of creosote on the glass and in the chimney. The combustion air damper must be 3/4 closed. The precise setting will depend on many factors, including chimney length and the moisture content of the wood.

  • Page 10: Smoking - Causes And Troubleshooting

    Smoking – Causes and Troubleshooting To reduce the likelihood of smoking when opening the doors, set the damper to the "accelerated combustion" position before opening the doors. Your fireplace has been designed and tested to provide smoke free operation. Occasionally, there may be a small amount of smoking upon lighting the fire, until the chimney heats up but this should not continue.

  • Page 11: Maintaining Your Bis Ultra Creosote

    IMPORTANT NOTES 1. Do not block the hot air vents to the fireplace as this will cause the fireplace to overheat. 2. Never start a fire using gasoline, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or any other combustible liquid. 3. Do not burn coal. The sulphur in coal will corrode the firebox. 4.

  • Page 12: Dealing With A Chimney Fire

    6. Do not use the fireplace again until your chimney and fireplace have been inspected by a qualified chimney sweep or a Fire Department Inspector. Finish door casing care Use a glass cleaner and a soft cloth to polish the casing. Do not use abrasives such as steel wool or steel pads for they may scratch the casing’s finish.

  • Page 13: Refractory Installation

    Refractory replacement The intense heat of the fire will normally cause hairline cracks in the refractory. These cracks can be minimized by proper curing as described in "First fires". They will not normally diminish the effectiveness of the refractory. If large cracks develop, then the refractory should be replaced. To replace the refractory bricks, follow these steps: 1.

  • Page 14: Doors Adjustment

    Doors adjustment The doors may need to be adjusted to be completely airtight. The gaskets airtightness can be adjusted using the adjustment screw located on the fireplace façade at the bottom of the fireplace opening. (An Allen key # 1/8 will be necessary for adjustment).

  • Page 15: Fireplace Installation

    FIREPLACE INSTALLATION Locating the BIS ULTRA The best location for your fireplace is determined by considering the location of windows, doors, and the traffic flow in the room where the fireplace is located, allowing space in front of the unit for the hearth extension and the mantel, and taking into consideration the location of the hot air ducts (optional), outside air kit and chimney.

  • Page 16: Framing, Facing And Mantel

    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): 1. Frame the fireplace using 2" x 3" or heavier lumber. 2. WARNING: Combustible material cannot be used in the space directly above the fireplace. This area must remain empty for a height of 6'8"...
  • Page 17 INSULATED CHASE CONSTRUCTION Figure 11...
  • Page 18 Facing 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). Non-combustible materials such as brick, stone or ceramic tile may project in front of and onto the fireplace facing (figure 13).

  • Page 20 The single outlet system is designed to be installed either flush with the front of the BIS ULTRA 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 The duct system must be installed respecting the following : 1. Remove the plates closing up the 8" dia. holes on top of the fireplace. Then, cut the insulation in order to obtain two 8" dia. openings. Fix the adaptors on the fireplace openings by turning clockwise (figures 14 and 15).

  • Page 23: Outside Air Kit

    OUTSIDE AIR KIT During operation, the fireplace requires 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. The Security fireplace model BIS ULTRA is listed only with Security Chimneys International Ltd 6" dia. chimney systems.
