ASSEMBLY8
Before installing the stove
Load bearing underlay
You must ensure that the underlay on which the stove is to be installed is a supporting underlay that is strong enough to support the
weight of the stove and, if necessary, the chimney and a surround.
If you are unsure about the strength of the base, contact a specialist
before the installation.
Floor plate
If you are setting up the stove on a flammable floor, observe national
and local regulations on the size of the non-flammable underlay that
covers the floor around the stove.
Your local Scan dealer can advise you on regulations concerning flammable materials in the vicinity of your stove.
The idea behind the floor plate is that it protects the floor and flammable material against sparks.
The floor plate can be made of steel or glass, and the stove can be set
up on brick, natural stone or similar materials.
Installation in flammable material protected by
insulation
All installations where there is no existing fireplace opening must be
ventilated.
Structure/surround to ceiling:
Holes must be made in the structure/surround for convection air.
Convection means that air circulation occurs, so that the heat is
distributed more evenly around the room.
You must ensure that the requirements for convection areas are met.
Area for convection air in: 350 cm2
Area for convection air out: 500 cm2
If insufficient convection is created, the structure/surround may be
damaged.
Open the cassette in the top plate (see page 11).
Place an air baffle made from non-flammable material (such as Jøtul
Firewall) in direct connection with the upper convection opening.
It is recommended that you tilt the plate at an angle of 20–30° (see
page 10).
Open structure/surround:
When building or fitting into a structure/surround that is open at
the top, the convection holes can be omitted. However, you should
note that no top plate must be placed on the structure (see page 11).
Open the cassette in the top plate (see page 11).
Internal installation in non-flammable material
When building or fitting into structures that do not contain flammable materials, a minimum distance of 10 mm must be maintained
between the brickwork and the convection hood. This is to prevent
cracks in the brickwork caused by the expansion of the metal while
the stove is heating.
Distance to furniture: 1300 mm
But please check to avoid furniture or other furnishings being dried
out due to being too close to the stove.
Trims and doors
Trims and doors are fitted when the surfaces of the surround have
been treated.
Trim, see page 19.
Gasket
Gasket
Gasket 0,75 m is mounted on the inside of the cassette as shown.
Existing chimney and pre-fabricated element
chimney
If you intend to connect your stove to an existing chimney, it makes
sense to contact an authorised Scan dealer, or a local chimney sweep
for advice. These experts will also let you know if your flue needs
renovating.
When connecting a pre-fabricated element chimney, follow the
manufacturer’s connection instructions for the relevant chimney
type.
Connection between stove and steel chimney
Your Scan dealer, or local chimney sweep, can advise you on choosing
a make and type of steel chimney. This ensures that the chimney
will match your wood-burning stove. As a general rule, the length of
the flue should not be less than 4,5 m measured from the top of the
wood-burning stove.
Some weather or installation conditions might require another
length.
Choosing the wrong length or diameter of steel chimney could
impair functionality.
Always observe the chimney vendor‘s instructions precisely.
Requirements for chimney
The chimney must be labelled T400 and G for soot testing.
If the chimney is installed as an extension of the stove and has a
length of at least 4.5 metres, a 6" chimney can be used.
If the insert is connected with an elbow pipe or other bends on the
chimney, we recommend a 7” chimney.
If you connect the stove with an elbow pipe, you should use a curved
elbow, as this gives a better draught.
If you are connecting your stove using a sharp elbow bend, the cleanout door should be in the vertical section, such that the horizontal
part can be cleaned through it.
National and local regulations for chimney ducts in flammable
materials must be respected to.

Fresh air intake
In a well-insulated house, the air used up by the burning process
has to be replaced. This particularly applies to houses with mechanical ventilation. There are different ways of making sure that an air
exchange takes place. The most important thing is to ensure that
there is a supply of air to the room where the wood stove is located.
The external wall vent must be located as close to the wood stove as
possible, and you must be able to close it when you are not using the
wood stove.
National and local building regulations must be followed with
regard to the connection of fresh-air intake.
Closed combustion system
You should use the closed combustion system for the wood-burning
stove if you live in a newly-built, airtight home. Outside air for combustion is connected through a ventilation pipe via the wall or floor.

INSTRUCTION FOR USE
23
CB-technique (Clean Burning)
The wood-burning stove is equipped with CB technology. In order to
ensure an optimal combustion of released gases under the incineration process, air will pass through a specially developed canal system.
The heated air is led into the combustion chamber through the small
holes at the rear of the burn chamber. This airflow is driven by the
combustion rate and thus cannot be regulated.
Baffle plates
The baffle plates are located in the upper part of the combustion
chamber. The plates hold back smoke, making sure it stays inside
the combustion chamber for a longer time before escaping through
the chimney. This reduces the smoke gas temperature as the gases
have more time to dissipate heat to the wood-burning stove. The
baffle plates must be removed for sweeping; see „Maintaining your
wood-burning stove“. Note that the baffle plates are made of porous,
ceramic material, and can break. Exercise care when working. The
baffle plates are subject to wear and tear, and are not covered by the
warranty.
0% - 100%
Adjustment of air supply,
primary and secondary damper
Primary air
The primary air regulation mechanism is used for lighting the fire, or
to boost the burning process when you put wood on. The primary air
vent can be 0 - 50% open if you use hard wood fuel such as oak and
beech. You can close the primary air vent if you use soft wood such
as birch or pine for fuel.
Settings for normal load: 0 - 50%
Secondary air
Secondary air is pre-heated and fed indirectly to the fire. At the same
time, the secondary airflow cleans the glass pane to avoid soot buildup. If you over-restrict the secondary airflow, soot can build up on the
glass pane. The secondary airflow determines the heat output from
your wood stove.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR HEATING24
Environmentally-Friendly Heating
Avoid restricting your wood-burning stove to an extent where no
flames are visible during the degasifying period, as this leads to particularly inefficient heating. The gases released by the wood do not
burn due to the low temperature in the combustion chamber. Part
of the gas condenses in the wood-burning stove and flue system as
soot, and this could lead to your chimney catching fire. The smoke
that exits the chimney is bad for the environment and has an unpleasant smell.
Lighting
We recommend the use of fire starters, or similar products, which are
available from your Scan dealer. Using fire starters helps to light the
wood quicker, and keeps the burning process clean.
Never use liquid lighting fuels!e!
"Top down" optænding
4 pieces of wood approx. 25 cm long with a weight of approx. 0.6 – 0.8
kg per piece (images 1 – 2
20 - 30 thin sticks of about 20 cm with a total weight of approx. 1,0 1,2 kg (billede 3 - 4)
4 fire starters
Place logs, sticks and fire starters in the combustion chamber.
The primary and secondary air valves must be completely open
during the entire lighting phase.
"Top down" lighting gives a more environmentally friendly start to
your fire and helps to keep the glass area as clean as possible.
1.

4.
Place the fire starter between the upper sticks.
Continuous firing
It is important to reach as high a temperature as possible in the
combustion chamber. This makes the most efficient use of the wood
stove and fuel, and ensures a clean burning process. At the same
time, this avoids soot build-up on the combustion chamber walls and
glass. While the stove is lit, you should not see any smoke, but just air
movement that indicates the burning process.
After completing the lighting phase, you should have a good layer of
embers in the wood stove; you can then start stoking up the stove.
Lay 2 pieces of wood, of about 1 kg weight with a length of about 25
- 40 cm onto the fire.
To achieve an optimal combustion, you should only fill in wood up to
the upper holes in the rear plates.
Note! The wood must catch fire quickly; this is why we recommend
setting the primary airflow to full power. Running the stove at too
low a temperature and with too little primary air can lead to deflagration of the gases, and thus cause damage to the stove.
When stoking up with wood, always open the glass door carefully
to avoid smoke escaping. Never stoke up with wood while the fire is
still burning nicely.
Using your stove in the spring or autumn
In the transition period (spring/autumn), where there is less need
for heating, we recommend to make a single „top down“ lighting,
perhaps with one stoke up to ensure that the combustion chamber
lining burns clean again.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR HEATING
25
Why you need a chimney
The chimney is the wood-burning stove‘s motor; it‘s performance
decides how well your stove will work. The draft in the chimney
creates a vacuum in the wood-burning stove. The vacuum draws the
smoke out of the stove, and takes in air through the combustion air
baffle to fuel the burning process. Combustion air is also used for the
airwash system that keeps the window clear of soot.
The draft in the chimney is caused by the difference in temperatures
inside and outside the chimney. The higher the temperature difference is, the better the draft in the chimney will be. It is thus important
for the chimney to reach operating temperature before you adjust
the damper to restrict combustion in the stove (a brickwork chimney
will take longer to reach operating temperature than a steel chimney). It is very important to reach operating temperature as quickly
as possible on days on which the draft in the chimney is poor due to
unfavorable wind and weather conditions. Make sure the fuel ignites
as quickly as possible (with visible flames). Chop the wood into particularly small pieces; use an extra fire lighter etc.
After longer periods of disuse, check the chimney flue for blockage.
You can connect several units to the same chimney. But make sure
check with your chimney sweep to observe local regulations.
No matter how good your chimney is, it will not perform well if you
do not use it correctly. On the other hand a poor chimney, may give
you acceptable results if you use it correctly.
Using your stove in various weather conditions
Wind blowing on the chimney can have a great effect on how your
stove reacts in various wind conditions; you may need to adjust the
airflow to achieve good burning results. Fitting a damper in the
flue pipe may also help as it will give you the ability to regulate the
draught in changing wind conditions.
Fog can also have a great influence on how well a chimney draws;
you may again need to adjust the airflow settings to achieve good
burning results.
General Notes
Please note! Parts of the wood-burning stove, especially the outer
surfaces, become hot during use. Please exercise due care.
Never empty ashes into a flammable container. Ashes can contain
glowing embers long after you finish using your wood stove.
While the stove is not in use you can close the valves to avoid draught
through the stove.
After longer breaks you should check the smoke outlet paths for
blockages before lighting.
Chimney fires
In case of a chimney fire, keep the stove door, the ash container, and
the valves on the stove closed. In case of emergency, call the fire
service.
It is recommended that you get a chimney sweep to check the chimney before using the stove again.
Handling fuels
Selecting Wood/Fuel
You can use any type of wood as firewood, however, harder types,
such as beech, ash, are generally better for heating as they burn more
evenly and create less ash. Other wood types like maple, birch and
spruce are excellent alternatives.
Handling
Firewood is best if you fell the tree, and saw and split the wood,
before May 1st. Remember to cut the logs to match the size of your
wood-burning stove‘s combustion chamber. We recommend a diameter of 6-10 cm. The length should be about 6 cm shorter than that
of the combustion chamber to leave enough space for air to circulate.
Firewood with a greater diameter needs splitting. Split wood dries
faster.
Storing
You need to store the sawn and split firewood in a dry place for 1-2
years before burning. Wood dries faster if you stack it in an airy place.
Before use, store the firewood for a few days at room temperature.
Note that wood absorbs moisture during the autumn and winter
seasons.
Moisture
To avoid environmental issues, and for optimum burning, wood
has to be perfectly dry to be suitable for use as firewood. The max.
residual moisture in the wood should not exceed 20%. A moisture
content of 15-18% yields best results. As an easy way of checking if
wood is dry, just knock two pieces of wood together. If the wood is
moist, the sound will be dull.
If you use damp wood, most of the heat it produces will be used to
evaporate the water. The temperature in the wood stove does not
rise, and the room is not sufficiently heated. Of course, this is not
economical, and it will cause soot build up on the glass pane, in the
stove, and in the chimney. Burning moist wood also causes pollution.
Understanding units for measuring wood
Various units of measurement are used for wood. Before you buy wood,
it makes sense to familiarise yourself with the terms. There are various
brochures, in public libraries for example, that cover this topic.
Use of the following as fuel is illegal
Painted, pressure impregnated, or glued wood, driftwood from the
sea. Never burn chipboard, plastics, or chemically treated paper.
These materials are dangerous to humans, to the environment, your
wood stove, and your chimney. To keep a long story short – make sure
you burn only quality firewood.
Firewood fuel value
The fuel value is different for different types of wood. In other words,
you need to use more wood of certain types to achieve the same heating performance. This Instruction Manual assumes that you will be
using beech, which has a very high fuel value, and is also a wood that
is easy to procure. If you use oak or beech wood fuel, note that these
wood types have a greater fuel value than, say, birch. Make sure you
use less fuel to avoid damage to the wood-burning stove.

MAINTENANCE26
Maintaining your wood-burning stove
Apart from regular chimney sweeping, your wood-burning stove
does not require any regular maintenance. However, we recommend
servicing at least once every two years
Use only original replacement parts for maintenance and repairs of
your stove.
Note! Make sure the wood-burning stove is cold before starting
maintenance or repair work.
Coated surfaces
Clean your wood-burning stove by dusting with a dry, lint-free cloth.
If the topcoat is damaged, you can purchase a repair spray from your
authorised Scan dealer. As slight differences in colour are possible,
spray a larger area to achieve a natural transition for best results.
For best results, apply repair spray when the wood-burning stove is
hand-hot.
Cleaning the glass
Our wood-burning stoves are designed to prevent serious soot build
up on the glass. The best way to achieve this is to make sure you have
a sufficient combustion air supply. It is also important to use dry
wood, and have a correctly dimensioned chimney.
Even if you follow all of our instructions, a slight film of soot can build
up on the glass. You can easily remove this build up by cleaning with
a dry cloth and glass cleaner. Your authorised Scan dealer stocks a
special glass cleaner for this purpose.
Combustion chamber lining
Slight cracks can appear in the combustion chamber lining due to
moisture, or to the heating/cooling process. These cracks have no
influence on the heating performance or lifetime of your stove.
However, if the lining starts to crumble, you must replace it. The combustion chamber lining is not covered by the warranty.
Gaskets
All wood-burning stoves have gaskets made of ceramic material fitted
to the stove, the doors, and/or the glass. These gaskets are subject to
wear and tear, and must be replaced when necessary.
Chimney sweeping and cleaning your
wood-burning stove
Follow national and local chimney sweeping regulations. We
recommend having the wood-burning stove cleaned regularly by the
chimney sweep.
Before starting to clean your wood-burning stove, and sweep the flue
pipe, we recommend first removing the baffle plates.
Checking the stove
Scan A/S recommends that you check your stove thoroughly after
sweeping/cleaning. Check all visible surfaces for cracks. Check that
all joints are tight and that the seals sit correctly. Worn or deformed
seals should be replaced.
Servicing
• We recommend that the stove should have a comprehensive
servicing at least once every two years. Servicing should include
the following:
• Adjust handles and door
• Lubricate hinges using copper grease
• Check gaskets. Replace any that are broken or weak.
• Check combustion chamber door and riddling grate
• Check combustion chamber lining and baffle plates.
The stove must be serviced by a qualified fitter. Use only orignal
spare parts.

Smoke escaping
• Damp wood
• Chimney not drawing properly
• Chimney is not properly dimensioned for the stove
• Check if the smoke gas pipe/chimney are blocked
• Is the chimney the right height for its surroundings?
• At rear outlet, check that the flue pipe does not obstruct the
chimney draught
• Vacuum in room
• The door is opened before the embers have burned down
sufficiently
Wood burning too quickly
• The air valves are set incorrectly
• The baffle plates is incorrectly mounted or missing
• Inferior firewood (waste wood, pallets etc.)
• Chimney too large
Soot build-up on glass
• Incorrect secondary airflow setting
• Excessive primary air
• Damp wood
• Wood pieces too large on lighting
• Inferior firewood (waste wood, pallets etc.)
• Chimney not drawing sufficiently

• Overheating (see instructions for heating)
Poor heating performance of stove
• Damp wood
• Not enough wood
• Inferior wood quality with low fuel value
• Baffle plates are not fitted correctly
Odour coming from stove
• The lacquer on the stove hardens when you use the stove for the
first time; this can cause an odour. Open a window or a door for
ventilation, and make sure the stove is heated up sufficiently to
avoid odours later.
• When heating up and cooling down, the stove may make some
clicking noises. These are due to the huge temperature differences to which the material is exposed and do not indicate any
product defects.
