We welcome you as a new owner of a SCAN wood stove. In purchasing a SCAN stove you have joined the growing ranks of concerned individuals whose selection of energy systems reflects both a concern for the environment and aesthetics. The SCAN stove is one of the finest home wood stoves in the world over. This manual will explain the installation, operation and maintenance of the SCAN stove.
CAUTIONS: KEEP ASH DRAWER CLOSED DURING FIRING IN THIS STOVE, ASH DRAWER MAY BE OPENED FOR A MAXIMUM OF 5 MINUTES DURING FIRE STARTUP. USE A METAL CONTAINER WITH A TIGHT FITTING LID TO DISPOSE OF ASHES. NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP” A FIRE IN THIS STOVE. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE STOVE WHILE IT IS IN USE. DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR ENGINE OIL.
2. INSTALLATION PRECAUTION IF YOUR SCAN STOVE IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, OPERATED AND MAINTAINED, A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. FOR YOUR SAFETY, FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE DIRECTIONS. CONTACT YOUR LOCAL BUILDING OFFICIALS ABOUT RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS IN YOUR AREA. Pre Installation Check List: Before you begin an installation, review your plans, check to see: 1.
The floor One of the main necessary precautions when installing a wood stove is to leave sufficient space between the stove (top, sides, back, front, and under stove pipes) and any other material that can catch fire.
Combustible Wall Clearance for top vent installation: If the stove is to be placed at side and back walls of combustible materials the following clearances must be kept Stove model All models A 365 mm 14 inch B 150 mm 6 inch C 150 mm 6 inch Combustible Wall Clearance for rear vent installation: If the stove is to be placed at side and back walls of combustible materials the following clearances must be kept: Stove model All models A 365 mm 14 inch B 150 mm 6 inch D 535 mm 21" Refer to the manufactur
Draft Requirements: Scan 5.2 is only one component of the total system. The venting system is equally important for achieving the required flow of combustion air to the firebox and for safely removing unwanted combustion byproducts from the appliance. If the venting system’s design does not promote these ends, the system may not function properly. Poorly functioning venting systems may create performance problems as well as be a safety hazard (i.e.
Top vent installation Mounting of the flue collar for top vent. Turn the flue collar around and fix the brackets under the top plate.
Chimney connection The chimney connector is a single walled pipe used to connect the stove to the chimney. For use with the SCAN woodstoves the chimney connector MUST be 6” in diameter, with a minimum thickness of 24 gauge black steel or 26 gauge blued steel. Aluminium and galvanized steel pipe is not acceptable for use with the SCAN woodstove. These materials cannot withstand the extreme temperatures of a wood fire and can give off toxic fumes when heated. Do not use the connector pipe as a chimney.
Rear vent installation: For venting into a masonry or a back standing steel chimney through the top vent the top horizontal portion of a single wall connector pipe can be located not closer than 18” below a combustible ceiling. From the factory the stove is prepared for top mounting of the flue collar, but all SCAN stoves have an optional flue outlet, therefore the flue collar can be fitted either on the top or at the rear as required.
Combustible Wall Chimney Connector Pass-Throughs. Method A. 12” (304.8 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member: Using a minimum thickness 3.5” (89 mm) brick and a 5/8” (15.9 mm) minimum wall thickness clay liner, construct a wall pass-through. The clay liner must conform to ASTM C315 (Standard Specification for Clay Fire Linings) or its equivalent. Keep a minimum of 12” (304.8 mm) of brick masonry between the clay liner and wall combustibles.
NOTES: 1. Connectors to a masonry chimney, excepting method B, shall extend in one continuous section through the wall pass-through system and the chimney wall, to but not past the inner flue liner face. 2. A chimney connector shall not pass through an attic or roof space, closet or similar concealed space, or a floor, or ceiling. Chimney height requirements: The chimney must extend 3 feet above the level of roof penetration and a minimum of 2 feet higher than any roof surface within 10 feet.
3. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE Ash Drawer: The ash drawer located below the fuel door is designed to make cleaning easier by containing the ashes in a removable drawer. Replace ceramic packing cord as necessary to ensure a tight seal. CAUTION: Do not operate the stove with the ash drawer open or ajar, as this will produce extreme temperatures within the stove (over-firing) as could result in a house fire.
Ceramic Packing Cord: The stoves are equipped with ceramic packing cord to ensure the tightness of the doors and the glasses. This packing cord is a wearing part and must be changed from time to time. Please consult your authorized dealer in this case. Protected Wall Reduced Clearances: Local codes in some areas will allow reduced clearances when the stove is installed adjacent to a protected wall system. Your local building official must approve the variance.
4. OPERATION WARNING: DO NOT USE GASOLINE, LIGHTER FLUID, KEORSENE OTHER FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS TO START OR FRESHEN A FIRE IN THE STOVE KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WEEL AWAY FROM THE STOVE WHILE IT IS IN USE. Fueling the Stove: Your SCAN freestanding wood stove is designed for burning dry natural well-seasoned wood only (If your wood supply is not seasoned, ask your authorized SCAN dealer where to obtain seasoned fuel in your area).
Refueling: To refuel the stove, first move the air intake control to full open, let the fire “liven-up” for about one minute. Open the fuel door about ½” and hold in this position until stove is drafting well. Open the fuel door and add wood. If the fire or coal bed is almost depleted and a full load of wood is added, it may be necessary to adjust the air intake control wide open to reestablish a lively fire. The use of start up air should only be used for a short period of time.
5. MAINTENANCE Ash Disposal and Removal: CAUTION: Be sure the fire is out and stove is cold before removing ashes! Never burn your stove with the ash drawer open. Be careful when you empty the stove for ashes. There may be glows left as long as 24 hours after the stove was last used. Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be places on a non-combustible floor or on the ground well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal.
Door Glass: A commercial glass cleaner designed for stoves is recommended for cleaning the glass. The glass can also be cleaned as follows: Dip a moist cloth or old newspaper in the ashes and use this to clean the glass. Attention: The ashes should not get into contact with your skin! Wipe with a dry cloth. The ceramic door packing cord must not get wet. Be careful not to abuse the glass by striking or slamming the door shut. Do not operate the stove with broken glass.
