ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY FIRING

Avoid turning down your 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.

that this video is only intended as a guide. You should also follow the instructions in the specific
manual for your stove model!
NOTE: Never use liquid lighting fuels!
"TOP DOWN" LIGHTING
"Top down" lighting provides an environmentally friendly lighting and helps keep the glass area optimally clean.
¬ 4 pieces of wood approx. 20-23 cm long with a weight of approx. 0.4-0.5 kg per piece.
¬ 15-20 thin pieces of firewood of about 20 cm in length, with a total weight of approx. 0.8 kg.
¬ 4 fire lighters in bag or block form
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 in the lighting phase. If the fire is too strong,

you may throttle down the primary air damper (at the left)
NOTE: The wood must never be placed higher than the tertiary holes at the rear of the burn chamber
(This does not apply at a cold start).

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