INSTRUCTIONS FOR HEATING
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY OPERATION
Avoid turning down your wood-burning stove to the point where no flames are
visible from the wood, as this leads to poor combustion and low efficiency. The
gases released from the wood will not be burnt off due to the low temperature
in the combustion chamber. Some of the gases will condense in the stove and
flue system as soot, and this could lead to your chimney catching fire at a later
point. The residual smoke which exits the chimney will pollute the surrounding
area and cause an unpleasant smell.
LIGHTING
We recommend the use of fire lighters, or similar products, which are available from your Scan dealer.
Using fire lighters helps light the wood more quickly and keeps the combustion process clean.
See our video about correct firing on www.scan.dk or scan the QR-code.
NOTE: Never use liquid lighting fuels!
"TOP DOWN" LIGHTING
"Top down" lighting is a more environmentally friendly way of lighting the fire and helps to keep the glass area as clean as
possible.
Do as follows for a correct "top down" lighting:
¬
4 pieces of wood approx. 19-20 cm long with a weight of approx. 0.4-0.5 kg per piece.
¬
12-20 thin pieces of firewood of about 19 cm in length, with a total weight of approx. 1 kg.
¬
3-4 fire lighters.
Place the pieces of wood, firewood and fire lighters in the combustion chamber as shown below.
1
Set the primary and secondary air controls to maximum for 20-30 minutes (See "Instructions for use").
2
When the large pieces of wood have caught fire, you can adjust the primary- and secondary air to the desired level.
3
NOTE: The wood must not cover the bottom entirely and must never be placed higher than the tertiary holes at the rear
of the burn chamber.

NOTE!
No matter how good your chimney is,
it will not perform well, if you do not use it
correctly. Equally, a poor chimney may well
give you acceptable results, if you
use it correctly

about correct firing.
