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

Smoke Baffle Installation:

Install the Upper and Lower Smoke Baffles after the chimney connection has been made.
1. Insert the four pins found in the Miscellaneous Hardware Kit into the holes in the firebox side
panels.
2. Install the larger Upper Baffle so that the slots in its underside engage with the upper pair of
pins. The forward edge will rest on the pre-installed threaded pins in the door opening.
3. Rest the rear edge of the smaller Lower Baffle on the lip of the air channel at the back of the
firebox. Engage the pins with the slots in the underside of the baffle.
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 the glass 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%.
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.
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 panels:
Small cracks may appear in the firebricks and Skamol liners, especially if the fireplace is overheated
during the first firing. These cracks do not influence the functionality of the insert and are not covered
by the limited warranty.
