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.
Catalytic combustors require little maintenance. Cleaning the combustor once a year,
preferably when your flue system is serviced, is sufficient for most users.
Warning: To prevent damage to your combustor, do not
•
Drop the combustor (which is fragile compared to the rest of the unit –
so handle with care)
•
Run water or compressed air through the combustor
•
Try to clean the combustor with any sharp tool
Cleaning Procedure :
1. Rotate the retainers to
release the combustor
support plate while
holding it to make sure it
does not drop.
2. Rotate the support plate
and remove the
combustor.
3. Remove fly ashes on the
combustor using a soft
brush.
4. Put the combustor back in
place.

3.3.5 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.
3.3.6 Ashes
Remove ashes only when the fire is out and the ashes are cold (24 to 48 hours after the
fire is out). Open the bottom louver and doors, lift the door trap lever, and remove the
plug on the door trap of the ashtray using gloves or a poker. Sweep the ashes in the
opening with a brush or any similar tool. Reinstall the plug on the door trap and pull
down the lever.
