Smoke Detectors; Room Ventilation; Combustion Air Supply - SCAN DSA 5 Instructions For Installation And Use Manual

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. Please refer to your local building codes.

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 us es oxygen from inside the dwelling. If there is not
adequate make-up air (as there is 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.
