CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW SCAN WOOD-BURNING STOVE
You have purchased a product by one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of wood-
burning stoves, and we are sure that you will have years of pleasure from your
purchase.
To make the best possible use of your stove, it is important that you follow
our advice and instructions. Read through this Assembly and Instruction Manual
carefully before you start to assemble your stove.
TECHNICAL DATA
INSTALLATION
- The house owner is responsible for ensuring that installation and assembly are in accordance with national and local building regulations as well as the information provided in this Assembly and Instruction Manual
- When you install any kind of fireplace or stove, you must inform the local building and housing authorities. In addition you are obliged to have the installation inspected and approved by a local chimney sweep prior to commissioning
- To ensure best-possible functionality and safety for your installation, we advise you to call a professional fitter. Your Scan
Dealer will be able to recommend a qualified fitter in your area. For information on Scan Dealers, please go to www.scan-stoves.com
SAFETY
Any changes made to the product by the dealer, fitter or user could result
in the product and safety functions not functioning as intended. The same
applies to the fitting of accessories or extra equipment not supplied by Scan
A/S. This could also be the case if parts that are necessary for the operation
and safety of the stove are dismantled or removed.
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 “unauthorized 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 authorize 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 “authorized” in Regulations and that appliances
used to burn solid fuel in those areas (other than “authorized” 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: www.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, see page 15
- You can use any type of wood as fuel
- This stove has been recommended as suitable for use in smoke control areas when burning wood

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.
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 Ø 100 mm ventilation pipe, maximum length: 6
metres with a maximum of one bend. We recommend smooth steel pipes.
We recommend mounting a valve in the ventilation pipe in order to avoid
condensate in the stove and the pipe system, when the stove is not in use. It
can also be an advantage to insulate the ventilation pipe.
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.
NOTE: if the stove has a fresh air connexion or closed combustion, the
ventilation pipe must be open, when the stove is in use!
Remove the cover plate at the back of the stove or the cover plate at the bottom of the wood compartment store, as shown in “Fitting the flue connection piece in the top outlet”. Connect outside air to the connection piece underneath the combustion chamber.
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 BUILT-IN 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.
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.
The length should be min. 4 metres.
The requirements to the chimney and the flue pipe in terms of safety distances
must be met.
If the chimney is fitted with a smoke extractor, it must be possible to adjust
it to a suitable draft.
- Choosing the wrong length or diameter of steel chimney could impair functionality
- Always comply exactly with the instructions provided by the steel chimney supplier
POSITIONING THE STOVE AT A NON-FLAMMABLE WALL
There are no demands concerning the distance to non-flammable materials, but
we recommend a distance of 50 mm in order to facilitate the cleaning of the
stove, the flue pipes and the chimney and to prevent possible damages to the
wall.
DISTANCE TO FURNITURE
Distance to furniture from glass: 1000 mm.
You should however assess whether furniture or other items might become
excessively dry due to being too close to the stove.
SAFETY DISTANCE
European, national and local regulations concerning safety distances for
wood-burning stoves must be complied with.
DISTANCE TO FLAMMABLE WALL PROTECTED BY A FIRE WALL
These distances apply for an insulated flue pipe all the way down to the
stove.

HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT OF STOVE
The stove has four adjustment screws under the stove. Use the adjustment
screws and the adjustment key (Accessories) to get the stove to stand straight
and level.
If the floor plate is used, the stove must be adjusted so that the plate can
be placed under the front of the stove.
NOTICE: It is very important that the stove is level to allow an optimal
function of the door. Please note that once mounted the stove can no longer be
adjusted!
FITTING THE FLUE CONNECTION PIECE IN THE TOP OUTLET

7. Fit the cover and tighten it.
Replace the top plate
LOAD-BEARING FOUNDATION
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 foundation 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. In case of doubt about the carrying
capacity of the floor, please consult a building expert.
FLOOR PLATE (ACCESSORY)
If you are placing 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.
MOUNTING THE UK – SCREW
UK ONLY! IMPORTANT!
Scan 41 has been recommented as suitable for use in smoke control areas when
burning wood logs and when fitted with a mechanical stop to prevent secondary
air control closure beyond the 35mm open position.
NOTE: In order to a achieve this, the screw (M5 x 6) must be placed as
shown in the pictures, to prevent that the secondary air valve can be closed
completely.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
CB-TECHNOLOGY (CLEAN BURN)
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.
NOTE: The wood must never be placed higher than the tertiary holes at the
rear of the burn chamber (This does not apply at a cold start).
PRIMARY AIR The primary air is used when lighting the stove and must be closed
after 10-20 minutes, when the fire has caught well. The primary air can be
used continuously when using very hard wood. Settings for normal load: 0 – 30%
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.
Settings for normal load: 50 – 70%
BAFFLE PLATE
The baffle plate is located in the upper part of the combustion chamber. The
plate holds 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 plate must be removed for sweeping; see “Maintenance”. Note that
the baffle plate is made of porous, ceramic material, and is liable to break
easily. You should therefore handle it with care.
The baffle plate is 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
- Never empty ashes into a flammable container. Ashes can contain glowing embers long after you finish operating the stove

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.
NOTE!
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.
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!
Scan the QR-code and see our video about correct firing.
“TOP DOWN” LIGHTING
“Top down” lighting provides an environmentally friendly lighting and helps
keep the glass area optimally clean.
- 4 pieces of wood approx. 20-23 cm long with a weight of approx. 0.4-0.5 kg per piece.
- 15-20 thin pieces of firewood of about 20 cm in length, with a total weight of approx. 0.8 kg.
- 4 fire lighters in bag or block form
- Place the pieces of wood, firewood and fire lighters in the combustion chamber as shown below
- Set the primary and secondary air controls to maximum in the lighting phase. If the fire is too strong, you may throttle down the primary air damper (at the left)
NOTE: The wood must never be placed higher than the tertiary holes at the rear of the burn chamber (This does not apply at a cold start).
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 properly
- Add two pieces of wood at a time: they should be about 0,4-0,6 kg in weight and about 20 cm long
NOTE: The wood must catch fire quickly. This is why we recommend setting the primary air flow 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
WARNING ABOUT OVER-FIRING
If the stove is continiously fired with larger amounts of wood than
recommended and/or receives too much air, this can cause a heavy heat
development liable to damage both stove and the surrounding walls. We
therefore recommend that you always observe the max. recommended amount of
fuel (See under “Technical Data”).
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. The damper must
not close more than 80% of the surface.
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.
FIRING 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 air wash 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 temperature difference, the better
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 unfavorable 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
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 service.
- We recommend that you get a chimney sweep to check the chimney before using the stove again
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.
- 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
- We advise you strongly not to use the stove over night. The stove is not suited for this purpose
NOTE: Never place flammable material in the radiation zone of the stove!
HANDLING OF THE 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. 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. ¬ 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.
USE OF THE FOLLOWING AS FUEL IS ILLEGAL
NOTE: It is absolutely prohibited to fire with painted, pressure
impregnated or glued wood, or sea driftwood.
NOTE: Nor should you ever burn chipboard, plastics, or treated paper.
These contain substances that are hazardous to human health, to the
environment, your stove, and your chimney. In short – make sure you only use
proper wood.
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 Instuction Manual assumes that you will be using
beach, which has a very high calorific value and is also the easiest wood to
get hold on. If you use oak or beech as fuel, you need to bear in mind that
these wood types have a greater calorific value than for example birch. To
avoid any risk of damage to the stove, you should therefore make sure to use
less fuel in these cases.
Wood types | kg Drywood/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% |
MAINTAINANCE
SWEEPING THE CHIMNEY AND CLEANING THE 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. (See section “Removal of baffle plates and combustion lining”)
NOTE: All service and reparation must be done, when the stove is cold.
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 is thoroughly serviced at least every two years by
a qualified fitter. Remember only to use original spare parts.
The service should include the following :
- Lubricate hinges using copper grease.
- Check the gaskets. Replace any that are broken or have turned hart.
- Check the combustion chamber lining and the grate.
- Check heat-insulating materials.
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.
GASKETS
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.
Gaskets are not covered by the warranty.
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.
NOTE: Make sure to air the room thoroughly after applying spray paint.
REMOVAL OF BAFFLE PLATES AND COMBUSTION CHAMBER LINING
Be very careful when removing the baffle plates from the stove.
- Lift up the lower baffle plate, remove the pins and take out the baffle plate
- Lift the upper baffle plate to the back of the combustion chamber. Remove pins. Pull the plate free from the baffle plate holder and remove it
- Lift the combustion chamber lining’s sides, remove them from the rear cover and take them out. Note that the combustion chamber lining’s sides support the rear cover so this could fall when the sides are removed
- Remove the rear cover
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 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
- The glass cleaner must not come into contact with the painted surfaces, as these can be damaged

THE SURFACE OF THE STOVE IS TURNING GREY
- Overheating (see instructions for heating)
POOR HEATING PERFORMANCE OF STOVE
- Damp wood
- Inferior wood quality with low fuel value
- Not enough wood
- Baffle plates are not fitted correctly
SMELL AND SOUND OF THE 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.
