3. INTRODUCTION / INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

3.1 About the SCAN DSA 4 fireplace

SCAN DSA 4:
CAUTION: Do not operate the fireplace with the start device open or ajar, as this will produce
extreme temperatures within the fireplace (over-firing), which could result in a house fire.
Damage caused by over firing is not covered by the manufacturers limited warranty

3.2 Baffle Cassette:

The SCAN DSA 4 has a baffle cassette assembly that must be installed in the upper firebox.
When in the proper position, the lower plate should lay on top of the air manifold and against the
rear wall of the firebox. See the maintenance section of this manual for additional information on
removing baffle cassette for cleaning and for drawings of the firebox inclusive of baffle cassette
of SCAN DSA fireplace (see page 16).
A ceramic baffle cassette is delivered with all SCAN DSA fireplaces. When mounting a baffle
cassette it must be done according to the description in section 6: Removing baffle cassette for
cleaning. Make sure that it is placed symmetrically in the stove, i.e. with even amounts of free
air space on each side.
We recommend that you treat the ceramic baffle cassette (Skamol) with caution because it is a
delicate material (not covered by the limited warranty). It is extremely heat resistant.

3.3 Glass:

The glass is a heat resistance ceramic glass that can withstand continuous temperatures up to
1390°F (754°C). This temperature is well beyond the temperatures in which you operate your
insert.
This fireplace is designed to provide a flow of air over the inside of the glass. This air combined
with high temperatures helps keep it optimally clean when the combustion air intake is fully
opened. When operating the insert on low for extended periods of time, the glass may become
dirty. A short, hot fire will help clean off much of the normal buildup (see section 8:
Troubleshooting). In order to keep the glass soot free, the moisture content of the wood must be
between 15 and 18% on a wet basis.

3.4 Smoke Detectors

:
Since there are always several potential sources of fire in any home, we recommend installing
smoke detectors. Do not install them too close to the fireplace as heat can activate them.
