Security Chimneys International components. The BIS Ultima CF 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 6: Fuel
OPERATING THE BIS ULTIMA 3.2.1 Fuel The BIS Ultima CF fireplace 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.
Page 7: Primary Air And Air Boost Controls
Figure 1 3.2.5 Accelerated Combustion The maximum heat output for the BIS Ultima CF fireplace is achieved by burning with the door closed and the combustion air opened and pulled back. By this method, the BIS Ultima CF fireplace can produce up to 55,000 BTU of heat per hour. However, it will be necessary to reload with wood every one or two hours.
Page 8: Medium Combustion
Creosote may accumulate on the glass door. This method of burning should be used only after operating the BIS Ultima CF fireplace with the air control opened to produce a hot fire for about an hour or at medium pace for at least 3 hours. Slow combustion can be used at night in order to reduce the heat output and to prolong the burn.
Page 9: 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 fireplace, open a nearby window temporarily to check if there is adequate air supply replacement.
Page 10: Maintaining Your Bis Ultima Cf
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 vapours which combine with expelled moisture to form a black deposit called creosote which accumulates on the flue lining.
Page 11: 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 12: Door Installation
3.3.7 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.
Page 13: Glass Care Replacement
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 CF fireplace. Replacement glass should be purchased from a Security Chimneys International dealer (see ate the unit with cracked or broken glass.
Page 14: Fireplace Installation
FIREPLACE INSTALLATION 3.4.1 Locating the BIS ULTIMA A. The best location to install 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 15 3.4.2 Installing the Finishing Kits The BIS Ultima CF requires the installation of a finishing kit. Two options are available: 1. Louver kit (part number: LOUVRECF) 2. Clean face kit (part number: CAPPINGCF) 3.4.2.1 Installing the louver kit The louver kit includes two identical louvers assembly. The louvers must be oriented so the angular parts of the grills are towards the front and the bottom and the cotter pins are at the bottom.
Page 16 4. Install the top obstruction plate in the top opening, oriented so the insulation faces the inside and the 1/2in. bend is towards the outside and the bottom. The part is pressure installed to keep from using screws that could interfere with your finishing material. Place the bottom bend on the lower trim and push on it to insert the top bend.
Page 17: Hearth Extension Requirements
3.4.3 Hearth Extension Requirements The BIS Ultima CF fireplace may be installed directly on a combustible floor; however, the combustible floor in front of the fireplace must be covered with a non-combustible material (tile, marble, stone, etc.). The supplied safety metal strip must be positioned as follows: One half under the front of the fireplace and the other half must extend on the floor over which the hearth extension will be built (figure 5b).
Page 18 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. This area must remain empty for a height of 6'8" (2032 mm) measured from the base of the appliance.
Page 19 INSULATED CHASE CONSTRUCTION Figure 11 Nailing Flanges Four nailing flanges are provided to secure the fireplace on the floor (see figure beside). Bend the nailing flanges down so each flange is flush with the floor, then using nails or screws, secure the fireplace to the floor (2 places each side).
Page 20 Facing The facing installation method depends on your finishing kit choice. 1. Facing with the louver kit The 2x3 framing must offset to the back by a distance equivalent to the thickness of your facing material so the surface of the facing be aligned with the fireplace face. Combustible materials must be aligned with the fireplace face and can not overlay on the fireplace front (black steel face of the fireplace) (see figure 12 and 12a).
Page 21 Mantel The mantel must be installed at least 45" (1143 mm) above the base of the fireplace (figure 12). Fireplace Frame section Drywall Drywall (Top View) Mantel Noncombustible 2" x 3" Min. Facing 2" x 3" (51mm x 76mm) Spacer Spacer Do not 1.
Page 22: Hot Air Ducting Installation
The safety rules for hot air ducting gravity kit installations are the following: Minimum height 68" (1727 mm) Maximum length See figure 16 The height of the louver must be measured from the base of the BIS to the middle point of the louver.
Page 23 When installing the double outlet system, the hot air outlets can be installed in the same room as the fireplace, or one or both of the outlets can be installed in adjacent or upper rooms. Installing the ducts at different elevations will tend to exhaust more heat out of the higher outlet (figure 16).
Page 24 6. Do not connect the hot air ducts to a central heating system. Malfunction of the heating uct is only single wall and not double wall as is required for the BIS Ultima CF fireplace hot air exhaust. 7. Use only Security Chimneys International grills and components as described in this manual.
Page 25: Central Forced Air Kit
3.5.2 Central Forced Air Kit (Not tested under EPA certification) The knock-outs provided on the back and on the sides of the BIS Ultima CF fireplace allow the connection of insulated flexible pipe which enables you to heat adjacent rooms up to 50 feet from the fireplace.
Page 26: 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 27: The Chimney
For optimum performance of your fireplace, Security Chimneys International recommends the use of an ASHT+/HT6103+ or S2100+/HT6000+ chimneys. 2. The Security fireplace model BIS Ultima CF fireplace is listed only with Security Chimneys International Ltd 6" diameter chimney systems.

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 w RSM+ and RSMI30, RSMI45...
Page 35: Chimney Supports 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.

Figure 34 CHIMNEY ADAPTOR (S-2100+ / HT6000+) The fireplace is normally supplied with a chimney adaptor suitable for the ASHT+ / HT6103+ chimney. If you want to install an S-2100+ / HT6000+ chimney, an adaptor is available (6UCA) (figure 35). A separate starter section will also be required if AC chimney is installed.
