8 ASSEMBLY
Floor plate
The national and local building regulations must be followed regar-
ding the size of a non-flammable base which is to cover the floor in
front of the insert.
Your local Scan dealer can give guidance on the rules concerning the
protection of flammable material around the stove.
The floor plate’s function is to protect flooring and flammable mate-
rial against any embers.
A floor plate can be made of steel or glass, however clinker tiles, natu-
ral stone or similar materials can also be used.
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 flue 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. This ensures that the chimney will
match your wood-burning stove. We recommend that the chimney’s
length from the top of the stove should be no less than 4.5 metres.
Some weather or installation conditions might require another
length.
Choosing the wrong length or diameter of steel chimney could
impair functionality.
Always observe the chimney vendor‘s instructions precisely.
Requirements for chimney
The chimney must be labelled T400 and G for soot testing.
If the chimney is installed as an extension of the stove and has a
length of at least 4.5 metres, a 6" chimney can be used.
If the stove is installed with elbow pipes or other bends in the chim-
ney, a 7" chimney can be used.
