FRESH AIR INTAKE
In a well-insulated house the air used for the combustion process has to be
replaced. This particularly applies to houses with mechanical ventilation.
There are different ways of making sure that air is exchanged. 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 stove.
National and local building regulations must be followed with regard to
connection of a 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, which can be closed when the oven
is not in use. It can also be an advantage to insulate the ventilation pipe.
Minimum Ø100 mm ventilation pipe, maximum length: 6 meters with a maximum of
one bend. We recommend smooth steel pipes.
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. See the procedure in this
manual.
If the external combustion air is connected at the rear, the dismounted plate
must be mounted on the hole for external air in the bottom of the stove.
NOTE: If the stove has a fresh air connection or closed combustion, the
ventilation pipe must be open, when the stove is in use.
The external air supply can be connected through the pedestal or the portal by mounting the delivered connecting piece.
PEDESTAL

PORTAL
If you want to connect an external air supply from the bottom of the base,
remove the blind flange and mount it at the top of the base. Then mount the
delivered connecting piece under the base as shown below.

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 STOVE AND STEEL CHIMNEY Your Scan
dealer, or local chimney sweep, can advise you on choosing a make and type of
steel chimney (we recommend using JØTUL’s chimney system). This ensures that
the chimney will match your wood-burning stove. REQUIREMENTS FOR CHIMNEY The
chimney must have a diameter of min. 148 mm and be labelled T400 and G for
soot testing. 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. When using a steel chimney, we recommend that it is equipped
with an inspection door. 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 steel chimney could impair functionality. ¬
Always observe the chimney vendor`s instructions precisely.
14
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.
Small shaped floor plate in glass or steel.
Large shaped floor plate in glass or steel
POSITIONING YOUR WOOD-BURNING STOVE There are no requirements concerning the
distance to non-combustible materials, but we recommend a distance of 50 mm in
order to facilitate the cleaning of the stove, the flue pipe and the chimney,
and to prevent possible damages to the wall.
DISTANCE TO FURNITURE With side windows: 950 mm – Without side windows: 1100
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 and flue pipes must be complied with.

MOUNTING OF WALL-HUNG MODEL Installation must be planned and executed in
accordance with national and local building regulations. The stove must only
be fitted to a non-flammable wall. There must be no form of flammable
component in the wall. To ensure correct installation we recommend that a
building expert and a local chimney sweep be commissioned to plan and outline
the installation with a view to subsequent approval. For wall installation we
recommend using the wall brackets supplied. If a chimney is installed on top
of a wall-hung model, the chimney must be fully self-supporting. It must not
rest on the wood-burning stove. There must be a distance of at least 6 mm
between the first section and the flange on the flue collar. Please consult a
specialist. Scan A/S disclaims all liability for the installation of wall-hung
wood-burning stoves.

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 overfilled and must therefore be emptied at regular
intervals.
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:
http://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. ¬ 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.
29
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 A LOW 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.
OPERATION WITH DOOR LEFT OPEN Operation with the door open can cause excess
smoke. The appliance must not be operated with the appliance door left open
except as directed in the instructions.
DAMPERS LEFT OPEN Operation with the air controls or appliance dampers open
can cause excess smoke. The appliance must not be operated with air controls,
appliance dampers or door left open except as directed in the instructions.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR HEATING
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY OPERATION
Avoid turning down your wood-burning 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 chim-
ney 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!
Scan the QR-code and see our video about correct firing.
NOTE: Never use liquid lighting fuels!
“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. 20-25 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
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 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. NOTE: 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.
32
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. To
avoid any risk of damage to the stove, you should therefore make sure to use
less fuel in these cases.

MAINTAINANCE
SWEEPING THE CHIMNEY AND CLEANING 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. Make sure the stove is cold
before starting maintenance or repair work. Scan 68 with inspection holes

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 Apart from having the chimney swept, your wood-burning stove does
not require any regular maintenance. However, we do recommend servicing at
least once every two years. We recommend that the stove is thoroughly serviced
at least once every two years by a qualified fitter. The service should
include the following: ¬ Lubricate hinges using copper grease ¬ Check the
gaskets. Replace any that are broken or have gone soft ¬ Check the combustion
chamber bottom and riddling 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.

REMOVAL OF THE BAFFLE PLATE
Use the pin in the upper baffle plate to lift the side plate up and out, before removing the baffle plate.
SEALS
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. Seals 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 color 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: Be sure to clean air after applying
spray paint.
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.
¬ The glass cleaner is not to get into contact with the gaskets, as this can
discolor the glass permanently.

TROUBLESHOOTING
SMOKE ESCAPING
¬ Damp wood
¬ Chimney not drawing properly
¬ Chimney is not properly dimensioned for the stove
¬ Check if the smoke gas pipe/chimney are blocked
¬ Is the chimney the right height for its surroundings?
¬ Vacuum in room
¬ At rear outlet, check that the flue pipe does not obstruct the chimney draught
¬ The door is opened before the embers have burned down sufficiently
WOOD BURNING TOO QUICKLY ¬ The air valves are set incorrectly ¬ Inferior firewood (waste wood, pallets etc.)
¬ The baffle plates is incorrectly mounted or missing ¬ Chimney too large
SOOT BUILD-UP ON GLASS
¬ Incorrect secondary airflow setting ¬ Damp wood ¬ Inferior firewood (waste
wood, pallets etc.) ¬ Vacuum in room
¬ Excessive primary air ¬ Wood pieces too large on lighting ¬ Chimney not drawing sufficiently
WHITE SHADOW ON THE INSIDE OF THE GLASS ¬ Over-firing (See “Instructions for heating”) ¬ Vacuum in the room
¬ Too much primary air
EXCESSIVE SOOT BUILD-UP IN CHIMNEY ¬ Poor burning (more air required)
¬ Damp wood
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.
