Wood packaging| The wood packaging can be reused and after final use can be
incinerated as a CO2 neutral
product or sent for recycling.
---|---
Foam| Send for recycling or waste disposal
Plastic bags| Send for recycling or waste disposal
Stretch/plastic film| Send for recycling or waste disposal
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.
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.
Minimum Ø 100 mm ventilation pipe, maximum length: 6 metres with a maximum of
one bend. We recommend smooth steel pipes.
NOTE: if the stove has a fresh air connexion or closed combustion, the
ventilation pipe must be open, when the stove is in use!
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 chim-ney 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 therelevant 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.
If you opt to connect the stove with an elbow pipe, you should use a curved
elbow, as this gives a better draught.
If you connect the stove with a sharp elbow pipe, the cleansing lid must be
placed in the vertical part so that the horizontal part can be cleaned through
here.
If the chimney is fitted with a smoke extractor, it must be possible to adjust
it to a suitable draft.
The requirements to the chimney and the flue pipe in terms of safety distances
must be met.
- Choosing the wrong length or diameter of chimney could impair functionality
- Always comply exactly with the instructions provided by the 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.
The stove must be set up so that the stove itself, the flue pipe, and the
chimney can all be cleaned.
REMOVAL OF PACKAGING
Check that the stove is not damaged before starting to install it.
The stove comes attached to a wooden pallet on delivery. The four screws
securing the stove may be removed through the two inspection hatches in the
base.
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT OF STOVE
The stove has four adjustment screws under the stove. Use the adjustment
screws to get the stove to stand straight and level.
NOTICE: It is very important that the stove is level to allow an optimal
function of the door. OPENING OF THE DOOR
To open the door of the Scan 85, press the handle release to the left of the
handle. The handle will pop out, ant the door can be pulled to side. The door
must roll on the ball bearings.
IMPORTANT: Do not lift the door, as this can push the ball bearings into
a false position!
IMPORTANT: Always push/draw the door all the way to the right before
closing the handle!
DOOR (SELF-CLOSING)
The door is delivered without self-closing function (Bauart 1).
If you want a self-closing door, the wire must be mounted on another
screw.
FITTING THE FLUE CONNECTION PIECE
IN THE REAR OUTLET
The stove is prepared from the factory for top outlet.
FITTING THE FLUE CONNECTION PIECE IN THE REAR OUTLET
MOUNTING OF COMBUSTION CHAMBER
Note that the baffle plates are made of porous, ceramic material, and can
break. Exercise care when working.
MOUNTING OF COMBUSTION CHAMBER
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT OF THE TOP MODULE
The height of the stove’s top module can be adjusted.
Open the door. Adjust the height with the pointed screw using an Allen key,
see illustrations below.
HEAT-STORAGE SYSTEM (ACCESSORY)
Heat-storage stones are available for Scan 85-3, 85-4, 85-5 and 85-6.
Heat-storage stones are made from a special material with a high heating
capacity. The stones are heated up during the firing and gives off the heat
again after the firing, which means that the stove stays warm for a longer
time.
LOAD-BEARING FOUNDATION
The stoves of the Scan 85 series weigh from 204 kg to 220 kg.
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.
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: 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 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: 60 – 90%
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 “Maintenance”. Note that
the baffle plates are made of porous, ceramic material, and is 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.
HANDLE FOR RIDDLING GRATE
The stove is equipped with a riddling grate that – when activated – empties
the ashes from the burn chamber into the ash tray.
- The riddling grate must be half open during the firing
REFUELING ON TO ALOW FIRE BED
If there is insufficient burning material in the fire bed to light a new fuel
charge, excessive smoke emission can occur. Refueling 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.
ASH CONTAINER
- Open the door of the stove to reach the ash container under the combustion chamber
- The ash container must always be closed while stoking
- 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
ASH CONTAINER
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
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 dealerUsing 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!
Scan the QR-code and see our video about correct firing.
NOTE: 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
“Top down” lighting provides an environmentally friendly lighting and helps
keep the glass area optimally clean.
- 4 pieces of wood approx. 25 cm long with a weight of approx. 0.6 – 0.8 kg per piece.
- 20-30 thin pieces of firewood of about 20 cm in length, with a total weight of approx. 0.8 – 1.0 kg.
- 4 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 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 2-3 pieces of wood at a time: they should be about 0.6 – 0,8 kg in weight and about 25 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. Keep the door closed during the whole combustion phase
-
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 THE 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 flue pipe.
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
- It is a good idea to take the wood into the house a day before it is to be used.
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, waste 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. Toavoid any risk of damage to
the stove, you should therefore make sure to use less fuel in thesecases.
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.
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
- Check the locking device
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 plate from the stove.
- Lift the lower baffle plate. Turn the baffle plate 90°, and edge it out through the combustion chamber
- Lift up the upper smoke deflector plate and remove the pin. Edge the baffle plate through the combustion chamber and out
- Lift the sides and rear plates of the combustion chamber lining out of the stove. In order to remove the lower back plate of the combustion chamber, lift the cast iron bottom upwards and forwards. This will release the back plate, which can then be removed from the combustion chamber
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
