  • Page 11: Draft Requirements

    Draft Requirements: The DSA 5 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 by products from the stove. If the venting system’s design does not promote these ends, the system may not function properly.

  • Page 12: Chimney Height Requirements

  • Page 13: Chimney Connection

    Chimney Connection The chimney connector is ether a single or double walled pipe, depending on the type of installation, used to connect the stove to the chimney. For use with the stove the chimney connector MUST be 6” in diameter, with a minimum thickness of 24 gauge black steel or 26 gauge blued steel. Aluminium and galvanized steel pipe is not acceptable for use with the stove.

  • Page 14: Operation

    Your stove is designed for burning dry natural well-seasoned wood only (If your wood supply is not seasoned, ask your authorized SCAN dealer where to obtain seasoned fuel in your area). Wood should be stored in a dry place for at least one year before being used for fuel. Some trees have very high moisture contents and it is necessary to thoroughly dry the wood.

  • Page 15: Smoke Detectors

    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 stove as heat can activate them. 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 on the stove.

  • Page 16: Maintenance

    4. MAINTENANCE DISPOSAL OF ASHES: ASHES SHOULD BE PLACED IN A METAL CONTAINER WITH A TIGHT FITTING LID. THE CLOSED CONTAINER OF ASHES SHOULD BE PLACED ON A NONCOMBUSTIBLE FLOOR OR ON THE GROUND, WELL AWAY FROM ALL COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, PENDING FINAL DISPOSAL.

  • Page 17: Removing Baffle Plate For Cleaning

    Removing baffle plate for cleaning The baffle plate must be placed according to the pictures below, fig 3 & 4. When the stove and the chimney are cleaned/swept, a layer of soot may be left on the baffle plate. This can be removed by tipping the baffle plate. The soot will then fall into the stove, where it is easily removed.

  • Page 18: Cleaning The Glass Panel

    Cleaning the glass panel The door must be dismounted from the stove before installing a new glass. When firing with moist wood, during the first lighting, or by a small fire/heat requirement, a bad combustion may arise, which can cause that the glass gets more or less sooty. The glass is easily and effectively cleaned when using a commercial glass cleaner designed for stoves (available at your dealer) do not use abrasive cleaners.

  • Page 19: Replacement Of Door Glass

    Replacement of door glass: 1. Swing out the door (see under "cleaning the glass panel", point 1-4). THE DOOR IS NOT TO BE UNLOCKED WHILE WORKING WITH IT. 2. Unscrew all visible screws (1, fig. 8) in the inner frame and remove the inner frame. 3.

  • Page 20: Dismounting/Mounting Of The Door

    Dismounting/mounting of the door Generally, we do not recommend dismounting the door. If you do, you must be at least two persons, so that one can hold the door, when the last screw is removed. 1. Swing out the door (see under "Cleaning the glass panel", point 1-4). THE DOOR MUST NOT BE UNLOCKED WHILE WORKING WITH IT.

  • Page 21: Replacement Of The Steering Axes/Counterweights

    Replacement of the steering axes/counterweights We recommend that this be done by the authorized SCAN-dealer. It is done in the following way: 1. Swing out the door or dismount it (it is only necessary to dismount the door when replacing the left counterweight).
