Load Bearing Underlay; Floor Plate; Existing Chimney And Pre-Fabricated Element Chimney; Connection Between Stove And Steel Chimney - SCAN 57 Assembly And Instruction Manual

Load bearing underlay

All of the products in our portfolio are classified as light-duty fire-
places; in most cases, there is no need to reinforce the floor, so that
you can typically use the normal floor.
However, you should make sure that the load bearing underlay
can bear the weight of the wood-burning stove and that of the
chimney.
If your wood-burning stove is fitted with a revolving base, note that
the load bearing underlay must be flat.

Floor plate

If you are setting up the stove on a flammable floor, observe natio-
nal and local regulations on the size of the non-flammable underlay
that covers the floor around the stove.
Your local Scan dealer can give guidance on the rules concerning the
protection of flammable material around the stove.
The idea behind the floor plate is that it protects the floor and flam-
mable material against sparks.
The floor plate can be made of steel or glass, and the stove can be set
up on brick, natural stone or similar materials.
If you opt for the Scan 57 revolving base note the size and shape of
the floor plate.
This Scan wood-burning stove has an integrated floor plate, and
can thus be set up on any flammable material without a protective
underlay.

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. As a general rule, the length of the
flue should not be less than 3,5 m measured from the top of the
wood-burning stove.
Choosing the wrong length or diameter of steel chimney could
impair functionality.
Always observe the chimney vendor's instructions precisely.
To ensure correct fitting cut a notch into the uninsulated first sec-
tion of the steel chimney, see page 112: "Top mounted steel chimney"
points 3 and 4 and page 13 for an illustration.
Fit the seal supplied in the service box to seal between the first
uninsulated section and flue connection piece, see "fitting seals"
on page 13.
If you decide on a wood-burning stove with a revolving base, perfect
working of your stove will depend to a great extent on having the
stove installed by a properly trained fitter. For instructions on fitting
a steel chimney with a revolving base, see pages 12 and 13.

Requirements for chimney

The chimney must be labelled T400 and G for soot testing.
Connection with 90° elbow pipe
If you intend to use an elbow pipe with the Scan 57, we recommend
the use of a curved elbow pipe to improve the draft.
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.
To ensure correct fitting, cut a notch into the elbow bend, see page
10: "Elbow bend solution for brick chimneys" points 3 and 4 and page
11 for an illustration.
Fit the seal supplied in the service box to seal between the elbow
bend and flue connection piece, see "fitting seals" on page 13.
Revolving base and 90º elbow pipe
Best-possible working of your wood-burning stove with revolving
base, will depend to a great extent on having the stove carefully
installed by a properly trained fitter. For instructions on fitting an
elbow pipe for the revolving base, see pages 12 and 13.
