  • Page 5: The Fireplace

    Security Chimneys International components. • The BIS ULTRA fireplace 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: Operating The Bis Ultra

    OPERATING THE BIS ULTRA™ 3.2.1 Fuel The BIS ULTRA 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: 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 ULTRA fireplace with the air control opened to produce a hot fire for about an hour.

  • Page 8: Starting And Maintaining A Fire

    3.2.8 Refuelling For Best Performance The BIS fireplace will operate best if attention is given to operating the unit with the damper fully opened after refueling in order to bring the firebox and the chimney system up to their optimum operating temperature.
  • Page 9 When operating the BIS ULTRA™ fireplace, open a nearby window temporarily to check adequacy of the replacement air supply. 3. Fans operating (e.g.: range hood) These fans draw air out of the house and may actually cause a negative pressure in the house.

  • Page 10: Maintaining Your Bis Ultra

    MAINTAINING YOUR BIS ULTRA™ 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 11: Doorframe Care

    3.3.4 Doorframe Care Use a glass cleaner and a soft cloth to polish the frame. Do not use abrasives such as steel wool or steel pads for they may scratch the doorframe finish. 3.3.5 Ashes Remove ashes only when the fire is out and the ashes are cold (24 to 48 hours after the fire is out).

  • Page 12: Door Adjustment

    Figure 4 3.3.9 Glass Care - Replacement The glass used for the BIS ULTRA fireplace 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 ULTRA fireplace. Replacement glass should be purchased from a Security Chimneys International dealer.

  • Page 13: Glass Care - Cleaning

    3.3.10 Glass Care - Cleaning The BIS ULTRA™ fireplace is designed to keep the glass clean under normal operating conditions. If the BIS ULTRA fireplace is operated continuously with the combustion air damper closed, the glass will tend to get dirty unless the fuel, firebox and glass are maintained at hot temperatures (see "Refuelling For Best Performance”).
