INSTALLATION
¬
The house owner is responsible for ensuring that installation and assembly are in accordance with national and local building
regulations as well as the information provided in this Assembly and Instruction Manual
¬
When you install any kind of fireplace or stove, you must inform the local building and housing authorities. In addition you are
obliged to have the installation inspected and approved by a local chimney sweep prior to commissioning
¬
To ensure best-possible functionality and safety for your installation, we advise you to call a professional fitter. Your Scan
Dealer will be able to recommend a qualified fitter in your area. For information on Scan Dealers, please go to

SAFETY
Any changes made to the product by the dealer, fitter or user could result in the product and safety functions not functioning as
intended. The same applies to the fitting of accessories or extra equipment not supplied by Scan A/S. This could also be the case
if parts that are necessary for the operation and safety of the stove are dismantled or removed.
THE CLEAN AIR ACT 1993 AND SMOKE CONTROL AREAS
Under the Clean Air Act local authorities may declare the whole or part of the district of the authority to be a smoke control area.
It is an offence to emit smoke from a chimney of a building, from a furnace or from any fixed boiler if located in a designated smoke
control area. It is also an offence to acquire an "unauthorized fuel" for use within a smoke control area unless it is used in an
"exempt" appliance ("exempted" from the controls which generally apply in the smoke control area).
The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has powers under the Act to authorize smokeless fuels or
exempt appliances for use in smoke control areas in England. In Scotland and Wales this power rests with Ministers in the
devolved administrations for those countries. Separate legislation, the Clean Air (Northern Ireland) Order 1981, applies in
Northern Ireland. Therefore it is a requirement that fuels burnt or obtained for use in smoke control areas have been "authorized"
in Regulations and that appliances used to burn solid fuel in those areas (other than "authorized" fuels) have been exempted by
an Order made and signed by the Secretary of State or Minister in the devolved administrations.
