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 too.
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.
nstallation 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:

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: 1400 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.

Smoke Control Area air supply requirements
The M5x6 screw is fitted to ensure that the stove's secondary air control is fixed to 33% open in its minimum position to minimise smoke emission in Smoke Control Areas. It is an offence to burn wood in an appliance within a smoke control area that has not been modified in this way.
Screw M5x6
Refuelling on to a low fire bed
If there is insufficient burning material in the firebed to light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a sufficient quantity of glowing embers and ash that the new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable period. If there are too few embers in the fire bed, add suitable kindling to prevent excessive smoke
Fuel overloading
The maximum amount of fuel specified in this manual should not be exceeded, overloading can cause excess smoke.
Operation with door left open
Operation with the door open can cause excess smoke. The appli­ance must not be operated with the appliance door left open except as directed in the instructions.
Dampers left open
Operation with the air controls or appliance dampers open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must not be operated with air controls, appliance dampers or door left open except as directed in the instructions.
The Clean Air Act 1993 and Smoke Control Areas
Under the Clean Air Act local authorities may declare the whole or part of the district of the authority to be a smoke control area. It is an offence to emit smoke from a chimney of a building, from a furnace or from any fixed boiler if located in a designated smoke control area. It is also an offence to acquire an "unauthorised fuel" for use within a smoke control area unless it is used in an "exempt" appliance ("exempted" from the controls which generally apply in the smoke control area).
In England appliances are exempted by publication on a list by the Secretary of State in accordance with changes made to sections 20 and 21 of the Clean Air Act 1993 by section 15 of the Deregulation Act 2015. Similarly in Scotland appliances are exempted by pub­lication on a list by Scottish Ministers under section 50 of the Regulatory Reform (Scotland) Act 2014.
In Wales and Northern Ireland these are authorised by regulations made by Welsh Ministers and by the Department of the Environment respectively.
Further information on the requirements of the Clean Air Act can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/smoke-control-area-rules
Your local authority is responsible for implementing the Clean Air Act 1993 including designation and supervision of smoke control areas and you can contact them for details of Clean Air Act require­ments”
The Scan 1002 BB//WC/BS have been recommended as suitable for use in smoke control areas when burning wood logs with a modifi­cation to the air valve so that it will not close beyond the 33% open position. See page 25 for useable wood types.

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.
It must be possible to shut off the ventilation pipe with a valve, when the stove is not in use.

INSTRUCTION FOR USE

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.

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 build-up. 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"
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 (image 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.

3.
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 1,2 kg weight with a length of about 25 - 50 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

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.

You can use any type of clean, dry, unpainted, and untreated 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. Painted and treated wood must not be used. Max. log length 650 mm.
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.
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.
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. Please note that the glass cleaner is not to get into contact with the gaskets, as this can discolour the glass permanently.
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:
• 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
• Vacuum in room

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.
