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 chimney needs renovating.

When connecting a pre-fabricated element chimney, follow the manufacturer's connection instructions for the

relevant chimney type.

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. As a general rule, the length of the chimney should not be less than 4

metres, measured from the top of the stove. Specific weather or installation conditions might require a different length.

Choosing the wrong length or diameter of steel chimney could impair functionality.

Always comply exactly with the instructions provided by the steel chimney supplier.

The chimney must have a minimum internal diameter of 148 mm and have a T400 designation, with G for the soot fire test.

The requirements to the chimney and the flue pipe in terms of safety distances must be met.

CONNECTION WITH 90° ELBOW PIPE

If you opt to connect the stove with an elbow pipe, you should use a curved elbow, as this gives a better draught.

If you connect the stove with a sharp elbow pipe, the cleansing lid must be placed in the vertical part so that the

horizontal part can be cleaned through here.

There are no demands concerning the distance to non-flammable materials, but we recommend a distance of 50 mm in

order to facilitate the cleaning of the stove, the flue pipes and the chimney and to prevent possible damages to the wall.

Distance to furniture: min. 800 mm.

You should however assess whether furniture or other items might become excessively dry due to being too close to the

stove.

Eueopean, national and local regulations concerning safety distances for wood-burning stoves must be complied with.
