Room Ventilation; Firebricks And Skamol Liners; Ceramic Gasket; Pre Installation Check List - SCAN DSA 4 Instructions For Use Manual

3.5 Room Ventilation:

During the combustion, oxygen taken from the room air is used. In rare cases it may be
necessary to mount a fresh-air duct near the fireplace.

3.6 Firebricks and Skamol liners:

Little cracks may arise in the firebricks and Skamol liners because of a minor content of water,
especially if the fireplace is overheated during the first firing. These cracks do not influence the
workability of the insert and are not covered by the limited warranty.

3.7 Ceramic gasket:

The SCAN DSA fireplaces are equipped with ceramic gasket to ensure the tightness of the door
and the glass. This ceramic gasket is a wearing part and must be changed from time to time.
Please consult your authorized dealer in this case.
FIREPLACE INSTALLATION MUST BE SAFE AND LEGAL!
SAFETY NOTICE:
IF YOUR DSA FIREPLACE IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, OPERATED AND MAINTAINED,
A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. FOR YOUR SAFETY, FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION AND
MAINTENANCE DIRECTIONS. CONTACT LOCAL BUILDING OFFICIALS ABOUT
RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS IN YOUR AREA.

3.8 Pre Installation Check List:

Before you begin an installation, review your plans, check to see:
1. Your fireplace and chimney connector will be far enough from combustible material to
meet all clearance requirements.
2. The floor protection is large enough and is constructed properly to meet all
requirements.
3. You have all necessary permits from local authorities. Your local building official is the
final authority for approving your installation as safe and determining that it meets local
and state codes.
The metal label permanently attached to the left side of every SCAN DSA fireplace shows that it
has been tested to current UL and ULC standards, and gives the name of the testing laboratory.
Clearance and installation information is also printed on the label. Local authorities will generally
accept the label as evidence that, when the fireplace is installed according to the information on
the label and in this manual, the installation meets codes and can be approved.
Codes vary in different areas. Before starting the installation, review your plans with the local
building authority. Your local dealer can provide any additional information needed.
For any unresolved questions about installation in the USA, refer to the national Fire Protection
Association's publication ANSI/NFPA 211-1996 Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and
Solid Fuel Burning Appliances. For installation in Canada, refer to CSA CAN-B365, Installation
Code for Solid Fuel Burning Applications and Equipment. These standards are the basis for
many national codes. They are nationally recognized and are accepted by most local
authorities. Your local dealer or your local building official may have a copy of these regulations.
