  • Page 6: Operating The Bis Ultima

    OPERATING THE BIS ULTIMA™ 3.2.1 Fuel The BIS ULTIMA 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. A moisture content of 15% to 20% (seasoned) is recommended.

  • Page 7: Primary Air And Air Boost Controls

    3.2.4 Primary Air and Air Boost Controls There is no flue damper in the BIS ULTIMA™ fireplace. 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 8: Medium Combustion

    Creosote may accumulate on the glass door. This method of burning should be used only after operating the BIS ULTIMA 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

    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 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 13: Glass Care - Replacement

    Figure 4 3.3.10 Glass Care - Replacement The glass used for the BIS ULTIMA™ fireplace is a high temperature ceramic glass (1400° F).

  • Page 15: Hearth Extension Requirements

    3.4.2 Hearth Extension Requirements The BIS ULTIMA™ 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 16 C. Frame the fireplace with vertical studs at the sides of the fireplace running from floor to ceiling (see figure 8). If combustible facing is to be used, position the studs back, from the front edge of the fireplace, a space the thickness of the facing material so that the facing can be installed flush with the fireplace facing.

    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 Nailing flange places each side).
  • 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

    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 20 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 21 A furnace duct is only single wall and not double wall as is required for the BIS ULTIMA™ fireplace hot air exhaust. 7. Use only Security Chimneys International grills and components as described in this manual.

  • Page 22: 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™ fireplace 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

    For optimum performance of your fireplace, Security Chimneys International recommends the use of an ASHT+/HT6103+ or S2100+/HT6000+ chimneys. 2.

    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.
