Load-Bearing Foundation; Floor Plate; Convection Air; Distance To Furniture - SCAN DSA 12 Assembly And Instruction Manual

Before installing the stove

Load-bearing foundation

You must ensure that the foundation the stove is to be installed on is
load-bearing with the strength to support the weight of the stove and
the chimney, if necessary. If you are unsure about the strength of the
foundation, contact a specialist before carrying out the installation.

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 built-in stove.
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.
If you have chosen to install the Scan DSA 12 on flammable material, it
is a legal requirement that steel floor plates be used on both sides of
the stove. One door can be locked, and in such cases a steel floor plate
need only be installed on the side on which the door can be opened.

Convection air

Holes for convection air must be made in the surround. Convection
means that air circulation occurs, so that the heat is distributed more
evenly around the room.
It is advisable to make holes for convection on both sides of the sur-
round.
You must ensure that the requirements for convection areas are met.
Area for convection air in: 350 cm2
Area for convection air out: 500 cm2
If insufficient convection is created, the sorround may be damaged.
Distance to furniture: 1200 mm
But please check to avoid furniture or other furnishings being dried
out due to being too close to the stove.
Installation in connection with flammable mate-
rials
See pages 9 and 10.

Positioning near non-flammable materials

When constructing a brickwork/non-flammable surround, the
distance to the stove must be at least 10mm.

Trims and doors

Trims and doors are fitted when the surfaces of the surround have
been treated.
Ash drawer
Note! The ash drawer can only be used from one side. The door on the
opposite side of the ash drawer can be locked.

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.
The use of a curved elbow pipe is recommended, as it will give a bet-
ter draught.
If you are connecting your stove using a sharp elbow bend, the clea-
nout door should be in the vertical section, such that the horizontal
part can be cleaned through it.
National and local regulations for chimney ducts in flammable
materials must be respected to.
