Maintenance - SCAN 65-1 Assembly And Instruction Manual

Maintainance
Apart from having the chimney swept, your wood-burning stove does
not require any regular maintenance. However, we do recommend
servicing at least once every two years.
• Only use original spare parts for maintenance and
repair of your stove.
• Make sure the stove is cold before starting maintenance
or repair work.
Painted surfaces
Clean your wood-burning stove by wiping it down with a dry, lint-free
cloth. If the paint finish gets damaged, you can purchase repair paint
in spray form from your Scan dealer. As slight differences in color
shade are possible, we recommend you spray a larger area to achieve
a natural blend. For best results, apply repair spray when the stove
is warm enough for you to just keep your hand on it, but no hotter.
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 good supply of combustion air. It is also very important that the
wood is dry and the chimney correctly dimensioned.
Even if you operate the stove in accordance with our instructions, a
slight film of soot may still accumulate on the glass. You can easily
remove this film by wiping the glass down with a dry cloth and then
with a cloth dampened with glass cleaner.
• The glass cleaner is not to get into contact with the gaskets,
as this can discolor the glass permanently.
Combustion chamber lining
Slight cracks can appear in the combustion chamber lining due to
moisture or sudden heating/cooling. These cracks have no influence
on the output or lifetime of your stove. However, if the lining starts to
crumble and fall out, you must replace it. The combustion chamber
lining is not covered by the warranty.
Seals
All wood-burning stoves have seals made of ceramic material fitted
to the stove, the door and/or the glass. These seals are subject to wear
and tear and must be replaced when necessary.
Seals are not covered by the warranty.
Sweeping the chimney and cleaning stove
Follow national and local regulations for sweeping the chimney. We
recommend having the stove cleaned regularly by a chimney sweep.
Before cleaning the stove and sweeping the flue pipe and chimney,
we recommend removing the baffle plates.
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 gaskets are correctly seated. Worn or
deformed gaskets should be replaced.

Servicing
We recommend that the stove is thoroughly serviced at least once
every two years by a qualified fitter. The service should include the
following:
• Lubricate hinges using copper grease.
• Check the gaskets. Replace any that are broken or have gone soft.
• Check the combustion chamber bottom and riddling grate.
• Check heat-insulating materials.
