INSTRUCTIONS FOR HEATING30
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 par-
ticularly 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 unple-
asant 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!
"Top down" optænding
4 pieces of wood approx. 20 - 23 cm long with a weight of approx. 0.5
– 0.6 kg per piece (image 1)
12 - 20 thin sticks of about 20 cm with a total weight of approx. 0,8 -
1,0 kg (image 2 - 5).
4 fire starters (image 6).
Place logs, sticks and fire starters in the combustion chamber as
shown on images 1 - 5.
Set the primary and secondary airflow controls to maximum for
about 20 - 30 minutes. When the larger pieces of wood have caught
fire properly, you can set the primary and secondary airflow to the
desired level.
"Top down" lighting gives a more environmentally friendly start to
your fire and helps to keep the glass area as clean as possible.
