    Security Chimneys International components. The BIS PANORAMA 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 9: Operating The Bis Panorama

    OPERATING THE BIS PANORAMA 3.2.1 Fuel The BIS PANORAMA 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 10: Combustion Control

    3.2.4 Combustion Control There is no flue damper in the BIS PANORAMA. As is common with airtight stoves, the combustion air damper controls the air entering the firebox. This allows for a more precise control of the fire.

  • Page 11: Accelerated Combustion

    Always set the damper so that flames are visible, that way you maintain a good clean combustion process. This method of burning should be used only after operating the BIS PANORAMA with the air control opened to produce a hot fire for about an hour. Slow...

    3.2.9 Refuelling For Best Performance To refuel the BIS PANORAMA at the end of a burn cycle where only hot embers remain and flames are gone (not enough heat to maintain catalyst operating temperatures): A) Open the by-pass and air controls fully.

  • Page 13: 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 PANORAMA, open a nearby window temporarily to check if there is adequate air replacement.

  • Page 14: Important Notes

    4. Wet wood Wet or tarred wood will smoulder and smoke instead of burn properly. 5. Dirty or blocked chimney Check to make sure the chimney is clear and reasonably clean. 6. Chimney not long enough The minimum chimney height is 12 ft., not including the fireplace height. The chimney must extend at least 3 feet (915 mm) above its point of contact with the roof and at least 2 feet (610 mm) higher than any roof or wall within 10 feet (3 m) of it.

  • Page 15: Maintaining Your Bis Panorama

    MAINTAINING YOUR BIS PANORAMA 3.3.1 Creosote When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapours which combine with expelled moisture to form a black deposit called creosote that accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire. If the creosote accumulation is large, a creosote fire in the chimney can damage the chimney and overheat the surrounding wood framing.

  • Page 16: Catalytic Combustor

    3.3.4 Catalytic Combustor The BIS PANORAMA is designed with a catalytic combustor that will reduce pollution emissions and creosote build up while improving thermal efficiency. In order to optimise and maintain the combustor performance, it is important to visually check the combustor at least 3 times during the heating season to determine if physical degradation has occurred.

  • Page 17: Door Installation

    Figure 4 3.3.8 Door Installation The door must be installed only when the installation of the BIS PANORAMA is completed. All you have to do is fit the male part of the hinge, already fixed on the door, in the female part, which is already fixed on the fireplace.

  • Page 18: Door Adjustment

    Figure 6 3.3.10 Glass Care - Replacement The glass used for the BIS PANORAMA is a high temperature ceramic glass. If the glass breaks, it must be replaced with a ceramic glass. Tempered glass or ordinary glass will not withstand the high temperatures of the BIS PANORAMA. Replacement ceramic glass should be purchased from a Security Chimneys International dealer.
