Creosote Formation And The Need For Removal; Door Glass; Replacing Broken Door Glass - SCAN DSA 4 Instructions For Use Manual

6.4 Creosote Formation and the Need for Removal:

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with
expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool
chimney flue of a slow burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates in the flue lining.
When ignited this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected at least twice monthly during the
heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote has accumulated it
should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.

6.5 Door Glass:

A commercial glass cleaner designed for fireplace is recommended for cleaning the glass. The
glass can also be cleaned as follows: Dip a moist cloth or old newspaper in the ashes and use
this to clean the glass. Attention: The ashes should not get into contact with your skin! Wipe
with a dry cloth. The ceramic door gasket cord must not get wet.
Be careful not to abuse the glass by striking or slamming the door shut.
Do not operate the fireplace with broken glass. If the glass breaks, then replace it promptly with
original factory replacement ceramic glass.
Only use replacement gasket listed for the door and the glass.

6.5.1 Replacing Broken Door Glass:

The door must be dismounted from the insert before installing a new glass.
1. SCAN DSA 4: the screw in the middle of the hinge bushing is loosened and the through-
going hinge pin is pushed up or down and removed.
Dismount the door from the fireplace.
2. Place the door on a soft pad.
3. Loosen the fastening screws that hold the inside door frame. Remove the door frame
and carefully remove the remainder of the old glass.
4. Clean the area where the glass and gasket are to be installed.
5. Install the new flat self-adhesive gasket on the edge of the inside surface of the outer
door frame around the opening and cut off surplus gasket to make an air tight joint.
(The side with the adhesive is to fix the gasket to the inside of the outer door frame).
6. Carefully place the glass on the outer doorframe and install the inner doorframe using
the screws removed in disassembly. Hold the parts together and install the screws only
with two revolutions. Install the flat part of the P-gasket so it will fit between the outer
doorframe and the inner doorframe. (When installing the P-gasket cord use your fingers
or a screwdriver to push the flat part of the gasket under the inner doorframe. Make sure
the gasket is not pushed in so far that the round part will not seal against the door
opening of the stove.)
Tighten the inner doorframe by mounting the screws evenly around the frame (enough to
be sure the door gasket stays in place) then fully tighten the screws.
7. Carefully turn around the door and install the tube gasket between the glass and the
outer doorframe with your fingers.
8. Install the door on to the fireplace again in reverse order of dismounting (see under 1).
Make sure that there is the same distance between the door edges and the insert on
both sides and that the door and the latch work properly.
