Quality control
All products have undergone a thorough quality control
ensuring that they are in accordance with all specifications.
Inspection
We recommend that you have your chimney inspected by
the chimney sweep before you start installing the stove. He
can also advise you concerning a possible renovation of your
chimney.
Connection to the chimney
Sometimes it might be necessary to obtain permission to
connect your stove to the chimney if other stoves are al-
ready connected. The stove should not be connected to a
chimney of which the inside diameter is smaller than that of
the flue collar. The flue pipes must be at least 2 mm thick,
and we recommend the installation of a damper.
From the factory the stove is prepared for top-mounting of
the flue collar, but most Scan stoves have an optional smoke
outlet, wherefore the smoke collar can be fitted either on the
top or at the rear as required.
You will find a description of the connection on pages 4-6 in
this manual.
Bearing foundation
All of our stoves are considered as light fireplaces, and it is
normally not necessary to reinforce the foundation.
Security distances
The Scan stoves are double-skinned convection stoves
which means that the temperature at the rear of the stove
is reduced. This makes it possible to place your stove next
to non-combustible materials without any distance needed.
However, we recommend that you leave enough space in
order to facilitate cleaning at the rear of the stove.
If the stove is to be placed at a wall of combustible mate-
rial, we recommend a minimum security distance of 20 cm.
However, you should always consult your local rules.
You can see the recommended security distances for your
stove model in the
Specific Installation Instructions
deliv-
ered with your stove.
Requirements of flooring
The stove is to be placed on a noncombustible surface, e.g.,
an original Scan base plate, floor tiles, or the like. We re-
commend that the base plate extends at least 150 mm from
the sides and at least 500 mm from the front of the stove
to prevent any sparks from ruining your carpet or floor. The
floor plate will also ease the daily cleaning and maintenance
of the stove.
For some models, there is a shaped floor plate specific to the
individual model that is placed in front of the stove. See the
Specific Installation Instructions.
Distribution of the heat
All Scan stoves (except Scan 4) are double-skinned convec-
tion stoves. This means that the air circulates around the
combustion chamber, where it is warmed up and then intro-
duced into the room as comfortable heat.
Self-closing doors
Most Scan stoves are delivered with a self-closing device on
the doors. In order to activate this function, see the
Specific
Installation Instructions
delivered with the stove.
Adjustment screws
Most Scan stoves are equipped with two adjustment screws
on the bottom that can be used for levelling the stove. This is
particularly important for stoves with lifting doors and coun-
ter weights.
Number plate
All Scan stoves are equipped with a number plate. We ask
you please always to indicate this number in case of ques-
tions.

• Flue collar with fittings
• Plastic coverings for the transport holes in the wood
