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 chim-
ney 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.
CONNECTION BETWEEN BUILT-IN 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.
REQUIREMENTS FOR CHIMNEY
The chimney must have a minimum internal diameter of 190 mm and have a T400 designation, with G for the soot fire test. The
length must be min. 5 metres.
If you opt to connect the bulit-in 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.
The requirements to the chimney and the flue pipe in terms of safety distances must be met.
¬
Choosing the wrong length or diameter of steel chimney could impair functionality
¬
Always comply exactly with the instructions provided by the steel chimney supplier
MINIMUM DISTANCE TO FLAMMABLE MATERIALS
Distance to back: 0 mm - glass: 800 mm. - ceiling: 400 mm.
You should however assess whether furniture or other items might become excessively dry due to being too close to the stove.
BUILDING IN THE STOVE AT A FIRE WALL
We refer to the building sketches on page 11.
SAFETY DISTANCE
European, national and local regulations concerning safety distances for wood-burning stoves and flue pipes must be complied
with.
