Positioning your wood-burning stove
The wood-burning stove must be set up so that the stove itself, the
flue pipe, and the chimney can all be cleaned.
Position near to non-flammable walls
When positioning near a non-flammable wall, we recommend you
keep a minimum distance of 50 mm between the rear of the product
and the wall for cleaning purposes.
Distance to flammable walls
45° Corner installation
200
Parallel rear wall installation
400
Distance to furniture: 800 mm
But please check to avoid furniture or other furnishings being dried
out due to being too close to the stove.

Existing chimney and pre-fabricated element
chimney
If you intend to connect your stove to an existing chimney, it makes
sense to contact an authorised Scan dealer, or a local chimney sweep
for advice. These experts will also let you know if your flue needs
renovating.
When connecting a pre-fabricated element chimney, follow the
manufacturer's connection instructions for the relevant chimney
type.
Connection between stove and steel chimney
Your Scan dealer, or local chimney sweep, can advise you on choosing
a make and type of steel chimney. This ensures that the chimney will
match your wood-burning stove. As a general rule, the length of the
flue should not be less than 3,5 m measured from the top of the
wood-burning stove.
Choosing the wrong length or diameter of steel chimney could
impair functionality.
Always observe the chimney vendor's instructions precisely.
Requirements for chimney
The chimney must be labelled T400 and G for soot testing.
Connection with 90° elbow pipe
If you intend to use an elbow pipe with the Scan 53, we recommend
the use of a curved elbow pipe to improve the draft.
If you are connecting your stove using a sharp elbow bend, the clea-
nout door should be in the vertical section, such that the horizontal
part can be cleaned through it.
