Maintenance; Cleaning The Glass - SCAN DSA 12 Assembly And Instruction Manual

Maintaining your wood-burning stove
Apart from regular chimney sweeping, your wood-burning stove does
not require any regular maintenance.
Use only original replacement parts for maintenance and repairs of
your stove.
Note! Make sure the stove is cold before starting maintenance or
repair work.
Coated surfaces
Clean your wood-burning stove by dusting with a dry, lint-free cloth.
If the topcoat is damaged, you can purchase a repair spray from your
authorised Scan dealer. As slight differences in colour are possible,
spray a larger area to achieve a natural transition for best results.
For best results, apply repair spray when the wood-burning stove is
hand-hot.

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 sufficient combustion air supply. It is also important to use dry
wood, and have a correctly dimensioned chimney.
Even if you follow all of our instructions, a slight film of soot can build
up on the glass. You can easily remove this build up by cleaning with
a dry cloth and glass cleaner. Please note that the glass cleaner is not
to get into contact with the gaskets, as this can discolour the glass
permanently.
Combustion chamber lining
Slight cracks can appear in the combustion chamber lining due to
moisture, or to the heating/cooling process. These cracks have no
influence on the heating performance or lifetime of your stove.
However, if the lining starts to crumble, you must replace it. The com-
bustion chamber lining is not covered by the warranty.

Ceramic gasket
All wood-burning stoves have gaskets made of ceramic material fitted
to the stove, the doors, and/or the glass. These gaskets are subject to
wear and tear, and must be replaced when necessary.
Ceramic gaskets are not covered by the right to claim.
Chimney sweeping and cleaning your wood-
burning stove
Follow national and local chimney sweeping regulations. We
recommend having the wood-burning stove cleaned regularly by the
chimney sweep.
Before starting to clean your wood-burning stove, and sweep the flue
pipe, we recommend first removing the smoke deflector plates.
Removing the baffle plates
Be very careful when removing the baffle plates from the stove.
Lift the lower baffle plate, remove the pins and take out the plate.
Please note that the lower baffle plate supports the sides of the com-
bustion chamber lining, which could therefore fall when the plate is
removed.
In order to remove the upper baffle plates, the combustion chamber
lining must be taken out. The baffle plates are lifted from their holder
and rotated down and out through the combustion chamber.
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 seals sit correctly. Worn or deformed
seals should be replaced.
