Fresh air intake
In a well-insulated house the air used for the combustion process
has to be replaced. This particularly applies to houses with mechanical ventilation. There are different ways of making sure that air is
exchanged. 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 stove.
National and local building regulations must be followed with
regard to connection of a 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. External combustion
air 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.
• Minimum Ø100 mm ventilation pipe, maximum length: 6 metres
External combustion air via wall
(109 x 152 mm)
External combustion air via floor
(D 185 mm)
If you want external combustion air via a wall, remove the cover plate
at the rear of the stove with a pair of cutting pliers. See the procedure
on page 17.
Connect external combustion air via the connection piece underneath the combustion chamber.
NOTE: if the stove has a fresh air connexion or closed combustion, the
ventilation pipe must be open, when the stove is in use!

Load-bearing subsurface
All items in our product range come under the category of lightweight fireplaces and stoves and do not normally require any reinforcement of the beam structure. They can be positioned on ordinary
beams/floor.
You should of course make sure that the subsurface on which the
stove is positioned can indeed support the weight of the stove and,
where applicable, a steel chimney, if you have opted for this solution.
Floor plate
If you are erecting the stove on a flammable floor, you must comply
with the national and local regulations on the size of any non-flammable subsurface required to cover the floor around the stove.
Your local Scan dealer can advise you on regulations concerning protection of flammable materials in the vicinity of your stove.
The floor plate’s function is to protect the floor and flammable material against any sparks that may occur.
A floor plate can be made of steel or glass, but the stove can also be
erected on clinker concrete, natural stone or similar materials.
This Scan wood-burning stove has an integrated floor plate at the
bottom and can thus be erected directly on flammable material without the need for further protection underneath the stove.

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 chimney 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 (we recommend using JØTUL’s
chimney system). This ensures that the chimney will match your
wood-burning stove. As a general rule, the length of the chimney
should not be less than 4 metres, measured from the top of the stove.
Specific weather or installation conditions might require a different
length.
Choosing the wrong length or diameter of steel chimney could
impair functionality.
Always comply exactly with the instructions provided by the steel
chimney supplier.
Requirements for chimney
The chimney must have a minimum internal diameter of 148 mm
and have a T400 designation, with G for the soot fire test.
Connection with 90° elbow pipe
If you opt to connect the Scan 83 with an elbow pipe, you should use
a curved elbow, as this gives a better draught.
Rotating base and 90° elbow pipe
To ensure optimum function of the rotating solution for the stove, it
is important that assembly be performed in a meticulous fashion by
a qualified fitter.
See the separate instructions supplied with the rotating base.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
CB technology (Clean Burning)
The stove is equipped with CB technology. In order to ensure optimal
combustion of gases released during the combustion process, air
passes through a specially developed system of channels. The heated
air is conducted into the combustion chamber through the holes in
the rear lining of the combustion chamber and at the baffle plates.
This airflow is controlled by the rate of combustion and cannot therefore be regulated. Wood must not be added above the CB rail.
Primary air
The primary air regulation mechanism is used for lighting the fire,
or to accelerate combustion when you add more wood. During continuous operation, the primary air vent can be 30% to 80% 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.
Setting for normal load: 30-50%
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 prevent build-up
of soot. 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.
Setting for normal load: 60-90%
Baffle
plates
CB technology
A
Handle for riddling
grate
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 flue gas temperature as the gases have
more time to dissipate heat to the 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 are liable to break easily. You should therefore handle them with
care. The baffle plates are subject to wear and tear and not covered
by the warranty.
Ash container
Open the door of the stove to access the ash container under the
combustion chamber.
The ash container must always be closed during operation.
The ash container must not be become too full and must therefore
be emptied at regular intervals.
Handle for riddling grate
The stove is equipped with a riddling grate that empties ash from the
combustion chamber down into the ash container when activated.
The riddling grate must remain half open during operation.

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).
The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has
powers under the Act to authorise smokeless fuels or exempt appliances for use in smoke control areas in England. In Scotland and
Wales this power rests with Ministers in the devolved administrations for those countries. Separate legislation, the Clean Air (Northern
Ireland) Order 1981, applies in Northern Ireland. Therefore it is a
requirement that fuels burnt or obtained for use in smoke control
areas have been "authorised" in Regulations and that appliances
used to burn solid fuel in those areas (other than "authorised" fuels)
have been exempted by an Order made and signed by the Secretary
of State or Minister in the devolved administrations.
Further information on the requirements of the Clean Air Act can be
found here : http://smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk/
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 secondary air valve has been modified, so that is does not close
completely but has an opening corresponding to the position used at
the lowest emission test.
You can use any type of wood as fuel.
The Scan 83 has been recommended as suitable for use in smoke
control areas when burning wood.
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.
Page 27

INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPERATION
Environmentally-friendly operation
Avoid turning down your wood-burning stove to the point where no
flames are visible from the wood, as this leads to poor combustion
and low efficiency. The gases released from the wood will not be
burnt off due to the low temperature in the combustion chamber.
Some of the gases will condense in the stove and flue system as soot,
and this could lead to your chimney catching fire at a later point. The
residual smoke which exits the chimney will pollute the surrounding
area and cause an unpleasant smell.
Lighting
We recommend the use of fire lighters, or similar products, which
are available from your Scan dealer. Using fire lighters helps light the
wood more quickly and keeps the combustion process clean.
Never use liquid lighting fuels!
Due to the large size of this stove’s combustion chamber, it is important that the wood used to light the fire is dry so as to generate
enough heat to ensure clean combustion.
The combustion chamber lining will turn black when the fire is lit. It
will burn clear again the next time wood is added.
“Top down” lighting
4 pieces of wood approx. 20-25 cm long with a weight of approx. 0.4-
0.5 kg per piece (illustrations 1 and 2).
15-20 thin pieces of firewood of about 20 cm in length, with a total
weight of approx. 0.8 kg (illustrations 3 to 5).
4 fire lighters in bag or block form
Place the pieces of wood, firewood and fire lighters in the combustion chamber as shown in illustrations 1 to 6.
Set the primary and secondary airflow controls to maximum for the
entire lighting phase.
Top down lighting is a more environmentally-friendly way of lighting
the fire and helps to keep the glass area as clean as possible.

Page 28
INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPERATION
When the stove is not in use you can close the dampers to avoid a
draught through the stove.
If the stove has not been used for some time, you should check the
flue passageways for potential blockages before relighting.
Chimney fire
In the event of a chimney fire, keep the stove door, the ash container,
and all dampers on the stove closed. In an emergency, call the fire
brigade.
We recommend that you get a chimney sweep to check the chimney
before using the stove again.
Continuous operation
It is important to obtain as high a temperature as possible in the
combustion chamber. This results in best possible use of the stove
and fuel, as well as achieving clean combustion. In this way you will
avoid build-up of soot on the combustion chamber lining and glass
pane. During operation, you should not see any smoke; just a movement in the air that indicates combustion is in progress.
After completing the lighting phase, you should have a good layer of
embers in the stove; you can then start operation of it proper. Add
two pieces of wood at a time: they should be about 0.6 to 0.8 kg in
weight and about 25 cm long.
NB: The wood must catch fire quickly; this is why we recommend
setting the primary airflow fully open. Operating the stove at too
low a temperature and with too little primary air can lead to gases
igniting, which can damage the stove.
When adding wood, always open the glass door carefully to prevent
smoke escaping. Never add wood while the fire is burning nicely.
Operating the stove in the spring or autumn
In the spring/autumn transition period, where there is less need
for heating, we recommend you light the stove “top down” once,
perhaps adding just two pieces of wood as above to ensure that the
combustion chamber lining burns clean again.
The function of the chimney
The chimney is the wood-burning stove’s motor; its performance
determines how well your stove will work. The draught in the
chimney creates negative pressure in the wood-burning stove. The
negative pressure draws the smoke out of the stove and takes in air
through the combustion air damper to fuel the combustion process.
Combustion air is also used for the airwash system that keeps the
window clear of soot.
The draught in the chimney is created by the difference in temperature inside and outside the chimney. The higher the difference in
temperature, the better the draught. This is why it is important that
the chimney reaches operating temperature before you reduce the
damper settings to restrict combustion in the stove (a brickwork
chimney will take longer to reach operating temperature than a steel
chimney). It is very important that the operating temperature is reached as quickly as possible on days when the draught in the chimney
is poor due to unfavourable wind and weather conditions. You need
to get a few flames going as quickly as possible. Chop the wood extra
thin; use an extra fire lighter etc.
After longer periods without use, you must check the chimney flue
for blockages.
You can connect several units to the same chimney. You should however first check the relevant regulations in this respect.
No matter how good your chimney is, it will not perform well if you
do not use it correctly. Equally, a poor chimney may well give you
acceptable results if you use it correctly.
Using your stove in various weather conditions
The way the wind affects the chimney can have a big impact on how
your stove reacts under various wind loads; you may need to adjust
the airflow to achieve good combustion. Fitting a damper in the flue
pipe may also help, as it will allow you to regulate the draught under
changing wind loads.
Fog and mist can also have a big impact on chimney draught; you
may need to use other settings for the combustion air to achieve
good combustion.
General notes.
Please note! Parts of the wood-burning stove, especially the outer
surfaces, become hot during use. Due care should be exercised.
Never empty ashes into a flammable container. Ashes can contain
glowing embers long after you finish operating the stove.
Handling fuel
Selecting wood/fuel
You can use any type of wood as fuel. However harder woods, such
as beech or ash, are generally better for heating, as they burn more
evenly and create less ash. Other woods, such as maple, birch and
spruce, are excellent alternatives.
Preparation
The best fuel is obtained where the tree has been felled and the wood
sawn and split before May 1st. Remember to cut the wood to match
the size of the 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. If the
diameter of the wood is greater than the above, it should be split
down its length. Wood that has been split dries faster.
Storing
You need to store the sawn and split wood in a dry place for 1-2 years
before it will be dry enough to burn. Wood dries faster if you stack
it in an airy place. Before using it, it is a good idea to store the wood
for a few days at room temperature. Remember that wood absorbs
moisture from the air during autumn and winter.
Moisture
To avoid problematic impact on the environment and to ensure optimum operating economy, the wood should be perfectly dry before it
can be used as fuel. Maximum wood moisture content should not
exceed 20%. A moisture content of 15-18% will deliver best efficiency.
An easy way of checking wood moisture content is to knock the ends
of the two pieces of wood together. If the wood is moist, the sound
will be slightly muffled.
If you use wood that is too damp, most of the heat it produces will
be used up in evaporating the water. The stove will accordingly not
increase in temperature, nor emit heat to the room as a result. This is
obviously poor economy, and it will cause soot build-up on the glass
pane, in the stove and in the chimney. Operation using moist wood
also pollutes the environment.
Understanding the terms used to designate
quantities of wood
Various terms are used to designate quantities of wood. Before you
buy wood, it makes sense to familiarise yourself with these 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, or sea driftwood. Nor
should you ever burn chipboard, plastics, or treated paper. These
contain substances which are hazardous to human health, to the
environment, your stove, and your chimney. In short – make sure you
only use proper wood.

MAINTENANCE
Maintaining your wood-burning stove
Apart from having the chimney swept, your wood-burning stove does
not require any regular maintenance. However, we do recommend
servicing at least once every two years.
Only use original spare parts for maintenance and repair of your
stove.
NB: Make sure the stove is cold before starting maintenance or repair
work.
Painted surfaces
Clean your wood-burning stove by wiping it down with a dry, lint-free
cloth.
If the paint finish gets damaged, you can purchase repair paint in
spray form from your Scan dealer. As slight differences in colour
shade are possible, we recommend you spray a larger area to achieve
a natural blend. For best results, apply repair spray when the stove
is warm enough for you to just keep your hand on it, but no hotter.
Cleaning the glass
Our wood-burning stoves are designed to prevent serious soot buildup on the glass. The best way to achieve this is to make sure you have
a good supply of combustion air. It is also very important that the
wood is dry and the chimney correctly dimensioned.
Even if you operate the stove in accordance with our instructions, a
slight film of soot may still accumulate on the glass. You can easily
remove this film by wiping the glass down with a dry cloth and then
with a cloth dampened with 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 sudden heating/cooling. These cracks have no influence
on the output or lifetime of your stove. However, if the lining starts to
crumble and fall out, you must replace it. The combustion chamber
lining is not covered by the warranty.
Seals
All wood-burning stoves have seals made of ceramic material fitted
to the stove, the door and/or the glass. These seals are subject to wear
and tear and must be replaced when necessary.
Seals are not covered by the warranty.
Sweeping the chimney and cleaning your stove
Follow national and local regulations for sweeping the chimney. We
recommend having the stove cleaned regularly by a chimney sweep.
Before cleaning the stove and sweeping the flue pipe and chimney,
we recommend removing the baffle plates.
Removing the baffle plates
See page 29-31, “Servicing”.
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 gaskets are correctly seated. Worn or
deformed gaskets should be replaced.
Servicing
We recommend that the stove be thoroughly serviced at least once
every two years. The service should include the following:
• Lubricate hinges using copper grease.
• Check gaskets. Replace any that are broken or have gone soft.
• Check the combustion chamber bottom and riddling grate.
• Check heat-insulating materials.
The stove must be serviced by a qualified fitter. Only use original
spare parts.
Disposal of stove parts
Steel/cast iron:
Send for recycling.
Glass:
Dispose of as ceramic waste.
Combustion chamber lining:
Vermiculite or chamotte is not recyclable. Dispose of as waste.
Baffle plates:
Vermiculite or chamotte is not recyclable. Dispose of as waste.
Gaskets/sealing rope:
Dispose of as waste.
Species of wood kg dry wood/m3 Compared to beech
Hornbeam 640 110%
Beech/Oak 580 100%
Ash 570 98%
Maple 540 93%
Birch 510 88%
Pine 480 83%
Fir 390 67%
Poplar 380 65%
Calorific value of the wood
The various woods have different calorific values. In other words,
for certain species of wood, you will need to use a greater quantity
to achieve the same heating performance. This Instruction Manual
assumes that you will be using beech, which has a very high calorific
value and is also the easiest wood to buy. If you use oak or beech as
fuel, you need to bear in mind that these woods have a greater calorific value than, say, birch. To avoid any risk of damage to the stove, you
should therefore make sure you use less fuel in these cases.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Troubleshooting
Smoke emissions
• Damp wood
• Poor draught in chimney
• Chimney is not properly dimensioned for the stove
• Check if flue pipe/chimney is blocked
• Is the chimney the right height for its surroundings?
• At the rear outlet, check that the flue pipe does not obstruct
the vent in the chimney
• Negative pressure in the room
• The door is opened before the embers have died down
sufficiently
Wood burning too quickly
• The air vents are set incorrectly
• The baffle plates are incorrectly positioned or missing
• Inferior fuel (waste wood, wood from pallets etc.)
• Chimney drawing too much
Soot build-up on the glass
• Incorrect secondary airflow setting
• Excessive primary air
• Damp wood
• Wood pieces too large on lighting
• Inferior fuel (waste wood, wood from pallets etc.)
• Chimney not drawing enough
• Negative pressure in the room
Excessive soot build-up in chimney
• Poor combustion (more air required)
• Damp wood
The surface of the stove is turning grey
• Too much fuel being added (see instructions for operation)
Stove is not emitting heat
• Damp wood
• Not enough wood
• Inferior wood quality with low calorific value
• Baffle plates not seated correctly
Smell and sound of the stove
• When you use the stove for the first time, the paint lacquer will
harden, and this may result in a slight smell. Open a window
or a door for ventilation and make sure the stove heats up
sufficiently to prevent any intrusive smell later on.
• 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 are not indicative of any
fault with the product.
