Lighting And Stoking - SCAN ANDERSEN 8 Instructions For Installation And Use Manual

GB
Storage of Wood:
The correct storage of the wood is one of the main conditions of an environment-conscious combustion. Only
hereby are you guaranteed optimal combustion values, and that the nature is not unnecessarily polluted.
* The wood should be stored in an airy, sunny, and dry place (ideal: South side)
* There should be about a hand's breadth distance between each layer
* Poplar and spruce should be stored at least one year before being used as fuel
* Lime, alder, and birch should be stored at least one and a half year before being used as fuel
* Beech, ash, and fruit tree should be stored at least two years before being used as fuel
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Hardening of the Stove Paint:
The paint will harden the first time the stove is used. This will result in a burned smell, which, however,
disappears again when the room is thoroughly aired. It is recommended to open doors and windows to ensure a
good draught.

Handling of Wood:
To avoid environmental problems and to ensure the best economy, it is recommended only to use wood that has
been stored in the open for at least 1 - 2 years (see Storage of Wood).
The logs must be adapted to the size of the combustion chamber:
Length/ANDERSEN 1 = 400 mm
Length/ANDERSEN 4 = 220 mm
Length/ANDERSEN 8 = 330 mm
The circumference of the logs should be between 20 and 25 cm, and the weight approx. 0.7 kg.
ANDERSEN 1 and 8 may only burn wood.
It is also possible to use lignite briquettes in the model ANDERSEN 4 (1.4 kg/h) or small "energy" briquettes. In
this case you must use a cast iron coal grate (accessory). In ANDERSEN 4 and ANDERSEN 8 it is
recommended to stoke max. 2 logs or 4 lignite briquettes (only ANDERSEN 4) or two shovelfuls of "energy"
briquettes (only ANDERSEN 4, 1.9 kg) at the time.
The burning of waste or other fuels is prohibited. This may damage the stove and the chimney, and it will also
invalidate the guarantee.
LIGHTING AND STOKING
For lighting use pieces of crumbled paper (newspaper) and/or firelighters, which are placed on the grate in the
bottom of the combustion chamber. Never use alcohol, petrol, or other inflammable liquids! The combustion air
should be fully opened and the door should be opened 1-2 cm. Paper and/or fire lighters are lighted are almost
completely closed. When the fire is well alight, after abt. 10-15 min., the stove is ready for the first portion of
wood, and the combustion air and primary air are adjusted according to the following diagrams.
