1. SAFETY RULES FOR OPERATING YOUR FIREPLACE MODEL BIS TRADITION CE • Use only a Security Fireplace glass door, specifically designed for the model BIS TRADITION CE fireplace. • When cleaning the fireplace, the ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground outside the house, pending final disposal.

3. THE FIREPLACE 3.1 INTRODUCTION The BIS TRADITION CE 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. • Before beginning the fireplace installation, consult the local authorities to obtain your building permit and check your local building codes.
3.2 OPERATING THE BIS TRADITION CE 3.2.1 Fuel The BIS TRADITION CE 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. Wood that has been cut and split and let to dry under a cover for a period of one year will usually meet that criteria.
3.2.4 Primary Air and Air Boost Controls There is no flue damper in the BIS TRADITION CE. 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. The combustion air control is located below the door on the left side. The main source of air (primary air) entering the firebox can be diminished by moving the air combustion control from left to right.
3.2.6 Medium Combustion This is the recommended mode of operating the BIS TRADITION CE 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 control must be 3/4 closed and pushed forward to close the air boost. The precise setting will depend on many factors, including chimney length and the moisture content of the wood. For instance, a long chimney will necessitate closing the damper more.
3.2.9 Smoking – Causes and Troubleshooting To reduce the likelihood of smoking when opening the door, set the combustion air controls to the left before opening the door. 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. If the fireplace continues to smoke it is probably for one of the following reasons: A.
IMPORTANT NOTES A. Do not block the hot air vents to the fireplace as this will cause the fireplace to overheat. B. Never start a fire using gasoline, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or any other combustible liquid. C. Do not burn coal. The sulphur in coal will corrode the firebox. D. Do not burn driftwood which has been in the ocean or salt water. The salt will corrode the firebox and chimney. E. Do not burn wood in the area in front of the grate. F.
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. Remove the side refractory holder. They are located at the top of the refractory. 2. Lift the front baffle. 3. Slide the back baffle under the front baffle. You now have access to the chimney. 3.3.
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. To replace the refractory bricks, follow these steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
3.3.9 Door Adjustment The door may need to be adjusted to be completely airtight. The gaskets’ air-tightness can be adjusted using the adjustment screw located on the right side of the fireplace façade. (An Allen key #1/8 – not supplied - will be necessary for this adjustment) Figure 4 3.3.10 Glass Care - Replacement The glass used for the BIS TRADITION CE is a high temperature ceramic glass (1400° F). If the glass breaks, it must be replaced with an identical ceramic glass.
3.4 FIREPLACE INSTALLATION 3.4.1 Locating The BIS TRADITION CE 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.
3.4.2 Hearth Extension Requirements The BIS TRADITION CE 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.).
3.4.3 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): A. Frame the fireplace using 2" x 3" or heavier lumber. 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. C.
INSULATED CHASE CONSTRUCTION Figure 11 15
Facing Note: The facade must be removable once installed. The facade is designed to overlap any facing material installed on the front of the fireplace. If thicker material is installed, use the facade as a template and make sure it can be easily removed for servicing. 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 facade of the fireplace) (figure 13b). 2.
Figure 13b Figure 13c 3.4.4 Fireplace Blower The fireplace comes equipped with a heat activated blower. It is located in the bottom of the fireplace, towards the back. It uses regular 120V and must be connected to the main electrical circuit by a qualified electrician. For connection, use the electrical box supplied with the unit located on the bottom right corner of the fireplace. If you wish to adjust the blower speed, an optional variable speed control (VRUW) can be installed in line with the wiring.
3.5 HOT AIR DUCTING INSTALLATION Different hot air ducting systems can be installed with the BIS TRADITION CE : - Gravity kit - Forced air kit 3.5.1 Gravity Kit Two kits are available: 1. Single hot air outlet including: (see Fig.14) - 2 6" lengths 8" I.D. - 1 hot air outlet kit (box, louver and frame) - 2 adaptors 2. Double hot air outlet including: (See Fig.15) - 2 telescopic lengths 8" I.D. - 2 90º elbows 8" I.D.
The single outlet system is designed to be installed either flush with the front of the BIS TRADITION CE 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). To extend the single outlet, it is necessary to install the insulation strip provided with the system.
The duct system must be installed respecting the following: 1. Remove the top and bottom plates closing up the 8" dia. holes on top of the fireplace. Then, cut the insulation in order to obtain two 8" dia. free openings. Fix the adaptors on the fireplace openings by turning clockwise (figures 14 and 15). 2. Maintain at least a 2" (50 mm) clearance between the ducts and any combustible material; the required hole size is 13" x 13" (330 mm x 330 mm).
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 TRADITION CE allow the connection of insulated flexible pipe which enables you to heat adjacent rooms up to 50 feet from the fireplace. The ducting system must be installed as described below : A) Fix the adaptor at the back and/or the side of the fireplace by twist-locking the adaptor to the fireplace. You can use more than one outlet on the fireplace (figure 19).
3.6 - OUTSIDE AIR It is mandatory to install an outside air connection to the BIS Tradition CE. The following components are required and are included with the fireplace: Outside air kit 4" adapter for fireplace connection The outside air assembly must be installed according to the following requirements : A) Duct length should be kept to a minimum. The maximum length of a 4" interior diameter (100 mm) insulated flexible duct is 20 ft. (6.1 m). The duct can be extended to a maximum of 40 ft.
4. THE CHIMNEY 4.1 CHIMNEY INSTALLATION NOTES 1. If possible, install an interior chimney as it will provide better performance. In areas with continuous temperatures below -18° C (0° F), the use of an exterior chimney increases the likelihood of operating problems such as low draught, high rate of creosoting, and poor start-up characteristics. Exterior chimneys are also prone to down-drafting and flow reversal.
4.2 CHIMNEY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. Cut and frame the holes in the ceiling, floor and roof where the chimney will pass (see figure 27). Use a plumb bob to line up the center of the holes. The sizes are indicated in table 1 for the floor and ceiling holes and table 2 (page 24) for the roof holes.
