3. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Ash Drawer
The ash drawer located behind the fuel door is designed to make cleaning easier by containing the
ashes in a removable drawer
Ash Grate
Above the ash drawer, located in the floor of the firebox is a rotating ash grate to facilitate
transferring ashes from the firebox into the ash drawer. To operate this grate, pull and push the
handle under the bottom plate in and out several times. Operate stove only with the handle pushed
all the way in.
Baffle Plates
The SCAN stoves have two baffle plates that must be installed in the upper firebox. When in the
proper position, the rear edges of the baffle plates should touch the back wall of the firebox. See the
maintenance section of this manual for additional information on Removing Baffle plates for
Cleaning on page 20.
Ceramic baffle plates are delivered with the stoves. When mounting a baffle plate place it according
to the description in section 5: Removing Baffle for Cleaning. Make sure that it is placed
symmetrically in the stove, i.e. with even amounts of free air space on each side.
We recommend that you treat the ceramic baffle plates (Skamol) with caution because it is a
delicate material (not covered by the limited warranty). It is extremely heat resistant.
Glass
The glass is a heat-resistant ceramic glass that can withstand continuous temperatures up to
1390°F (754°C). This temperature is well beyond the temperatures in which you operate your stove.
These stoves are designed to provide a flow of air over the inside of the glass. This air combined
with high temperatures helps keep the glass optimally clean when the combustion air intake is fully
opened. When operating the stove on low for extended periods of time, the glass may become dirty.
A short, hot fire will help clean off much of the normal sooth buildup (see section 6:
Troubleshooting). In order to keep glass soot-free, the moisture content of the wood must be
between 15 % and 18% on a wet basis.
Smoke Detectors
Since there are always several potential sources of fire in any home, we recommend installing
smoke detectors. Do not install them too close to the stove as heat can activate them.
Room Ventilation
During the combustion, oxygen taken from the room air is used. In rare cases it may be necessary
to mount a fresh-air duct on the stove. Please refer to your local building codes.
Fire Box Lining
The firebox is lined with Skamol, which is a high heat resisted and isolations material
We recommend that you treat the lining plates (Skamol) with caution because it is a delicate
material (not covered by the limited warranty
