1. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 Before using
Before the wood stove is used make sure re-
quired installation conditions, are met. See page
18.
1.2 Handle assembly
1.3 First firing
The stove paint is fully cured from the factory,
but a minor unpleasant odour could still arise.
The doors self-closing damper may not function
properly if the stove is to cold. After transporting
or standing in a cold environment, it might be ne-
cessary to close the door the last little bit until the
stove has warmed up.
1.4 Regulating the air flow
The stoves combustion air is controlled by the
wheel under the stove door. Scan-Line 8 SCA sto-
ves are designed and tested to burn extremely
cleanly with very little smoke discharge and are
exempt for use in smoke control areas throughout
the UK when burning dry wood
logs. To comply,
a permanent stop is fitted to ensure that the air
control slider cannot be closed beyond 35% of
its fully open position. A permanent amount of
air will therefore enter the firebox to feed the fire
producing negligible amounts of smoke and un-
burnt hydrocarbons. The appliances will only be
considered as an exempt appliance if this stop
is in place.
1.5 Lighting the stove
Place two pieces of wood on the bottom. Stack
kindling on top in layers with air between. Set
ting fire starter (bag, brick, paraffin) on the top,
now you are ready to light the fuel. The flames
must work from the top down.
The use of lighter fluid, oils or any
liquid fuels is strictly forbidden
from use in a wood stove.
Fully open the combustion air into the start-up
air position and the door ajar (about one cm
open). Once the fire is established and the chim-
ney is hot (after about ten minutes) closed door
and regulate the air into operating position. We
recommend, all of the first fuel is burned with
the combustion air fully open in the operating
position. This ensures the stove and chimney
are thoroughly heated.
If the fire dies down completely or embers are
smoldering, then it will be necessary to place
some firelighters onto the grate with some kind-
ling or small pieces of wood to reestablish the
