NOTE!
No matter how good your chimney is,
it will not perform well if you do not
use it correctly. Equally, a poor chim-
ney may well give you acceptable
results if you use it correctly
INSTRUCTIONS FOR HEATING
ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY FIRING
Avoid turning down your 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.
See our video about correct firing on www.scan-stoves.com or scan the QR-code. Please note
that this video is only intended as a guide. You should also follow the instructions in the specific
manual for your stove model!
NOTE: Never use liquid lighting fuels!
The combustion chamber lining may turn black when the fire is lit. It will burn clear again the next time wood is added.
”TOP DOWN” LIGHTING
"Top down" lighting is a more environmentally friendly way of lighting the fire and helps to keep the glass area as clean as possible.
Do as follows for a correct ”top down” lighting:
¬ 4 pieces of wood approx. 20-23 cm long with a weight of approx. 0,3-0,5 kg per piece
¬ 10-12 thin pieces of firewood of about 20 cm in length, with a total weight of approx. 0,3-0,5 kg.
¬ 3 fire lighters in bag or block form
1
Place the pieces of wood, firewood and fire lighters in the combustion chamber as shown below
2
Set the combustion air control to maximum for 15 minutes (See "Instructions for use")
3
When the large pieces of wood have caught fire, you can adjust the combustion air to the desired level
NOTE: The wood must never be placed higher than the lower tertiary holes at the rear of the burn chamber
(This does not apply at a cold start).
