Ceramic Packing Cord; Protected Wall Reduced Clearances; Combustion Air Supply; Draft Requirements - SCAN 5-2 Instructions For Installation And Use Manual

Ceramic Packing Cord:

The stoves are equipped with ceramic packing cord to ensure the tightness of the doors and the
glasses. This packing cord is a wearing part and must be changed from time to time. Please consult
your authorized dealer in this case.

Protected Wall Reduced Clearances:

Local codes in some areas will allow reduced clearances when the stove is installed adjacent to a
protected wall system. Your local building official must approve the variance. Check your local building
codes or with a qualified installer.

Combustion Air Supply:

Provide for an adequate supply of air for combustion. Proper ventilation is essential when using a solid
fuel-burning appliance. The combustion process uses oxygen from inside the dwelling and if there is
not adequate make-up air (such as in newer homes which are well insulated and weather tight), it may
be difficult to obtain an adequate draft in your chimney (caused by a shortage of air in the house). To
correct this, it may be necessary to crack a window on the windward side of the dwelling, or provide
combustion air to a nearby floor/wall vent (fresh air duct), or directly to the stove.

Draft Requirements:

The SCAN stove is only one component of the total system. The venting system is equally important
for achieving the required flow of combustion air to the firebox and for safely removing unwanted
combustion byproducts from the appliance. If the venting system's design does not promote these
ends, the system may not function properly. Poorly functioning venting systems may create
performance problems as well as be a safety hazard (i.e. an oversized chimney may result in less than
optimum performance. Installations into a large, masonry chimney may require a liner to improve
performance). A draft test should read greater than .04" W.C. (Inches Water Column) and less than
.08" W.C. The table below shows dimension of connection piece and data for draft requirements for
the stove:

The chimney draught depends on the weather conditions. In stormy weather, you may reduce the
chimney draught by closing the damper in the smoke pipe (if a damper has been installed). If the
chimney draught is strong, the combustion air supply must be reduced additionally.
