Instructions For Heating; Lighting - SCAN 85-1 Assembly And Instruction Manual

Environmentally-Friendly Heating
Avoid restricting your wood-burning stove to an extent where no
flames are visible during the degasifying period, as this leads to par-
ticularly inefficient heating. The gases released by the wood do not
burn due to the low temperature in the combustion chamber. Part
of the gas condenses in the wood-burning stove and flue system as
soot, and this could lead to your chimney catching fire. The smoke
that exits the chimney is bad for the environment and has an unple-
asant smell.

Lighting

We recommend the use of fire starters, or similar products, which are
available from your Scan dealer. Using fire starters helps to light the
wood quicker, and keeps the burning process clean.
Never use liquid lighting fuels!
As the stove's combustion chamber is very large, it is important that
the used wood is dry in order to generate enough heat for a clean
combustion.
The combustion chamber lining will become black when the fire is lit.
It will burn clear again when the stove is stoked up.
"Top down" lighting
4 pieces of wood approx. 25 cm long with a weight of approx. 0.6 –
0.8 kg per piece (images 1 – 2).
20 - 30 thin sticks of about 20 cm with a total weight of approx. 400
g (billede 3 - 5).
4 fire starters (billede 6).
Place logs, sticks and fire starters in the combustion chamber as
shown on images 1 - 6.
The primary and secondary air valves must be completely open
during the entire lighting phase.
"Top down" lighting gives a more environmentally friendly start to
your fire and helps to keep the glass area as clean as possible.
