You will receive a lifetime of comfort and enjoyment from your fireplace provided it is installed, maintained and operated properly. • p...
5 3.2 operating the bis panorama 3.2.1 fuel the bis panorama is designed to work best when fuelled with seasoned cordwood.

6 keep on going until it runs out of smoke. Note that the catalyst does not need to be glowing to be working, it can work very well at temperatures well below the 538 °c (1000 °f) level at which it will begin to glow. The best way to see if the catalyst is active is to take a look at what is coming ...
7 3.2.5 accelerated combustion the maximum heat output for the bis panorama is achieved by burning with the combustion air damper opened. By this method, the bis panorama can produce up to 70,000 btu of heat per hour. However, it will be necessary to reload with wood every one or two hours. This is ...
8 combustion can be used at night in order to reduce the heat output and prolong the burn. The loading time will be between 6-10 hours. 3.2.8 starting and maintaining a fire a) place several crumpled up balls of newspaper in the firebox.

When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire. If the ...
12 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 ...
13 3.3.7 refractory brick replacement the intense heat of the fire will normally cause hairline cracks in the refractory. These cracks can be minimised by proper curing as described in "first fires". They will not normally diminish the effectiveness of the refractory. If large cracks develop, then t...
