Lacquered surfaces
The stove is cleaned with a moist cloth. Spray lacquer is
available for repair of possible damages/scratches. Your
dealer has the right spray in the right colour. As there may
be minor colour differences, it is recommended to repair
larger areas with natural borders. You will get the best result
if the stove is repaired while it is hand-warm (remember to
ensure good ventilation during repair). A possible change of
colour to grey is caused by over-firing, i.e. you have used
more wood than recommended (see specific instructions for
your model).
Glazed tiles
We recommend that you always use a dry cloth when clean-
ing the tiles as moistness worsens the existence of cracks.
Tiles are a natural material, and in time small cracks may
occur which is perfectly normal.
Soapstone
The soapstones are cleaned with fine sandpaper or a dry
sponge.
Firebricks
Little cracks may arise in the firebricks because of a minor
content of water, especially if the stove is overheated during
the first firing. These cracks do not influence the efficiency
of the stove and are not covered by the warranty. However,
if the bricks begin to crumble and fall out of the stove, they
must be changed. Firebricks are wearing parts and are not
included in the warranty conditions.
Gold or chrome doors
Always use a moist cloth or glass cleaner to clean your gold
or chrome door.
Please note that you must NEVER use
metal cleaner.
If you exceed the maximum amount of fuel
previously specified, the colour of the gold- or chromium
doors may change a little.
Cleaning of glass
Our stoves are constructed so that the glass is kept optimally
clean from soot. However, by burning wet wood or lighting
with closed dampers, the doors may become sooty. The
glass is easily cleaned by use of a special cleaning fluid
available at your dealer. Or you may wipe the glass as fol-
lows: Dip a moist cloth or old newspaper in the ashes and
use this to clean the glass. Important! The ashes should not
get into contact with your skin! Wipe with a dry cloth. The
ceramic door joint must not get wet.
For models with lifting door, please refer to the Specific
Instructions for your model.
Ceramic packing cord
All Scan stoves are equipped with ceramic packing cord to
ensure the tightness of the doors and the glasses. This pack-
ing cord is a wearing part and must be changed from time to
time. Please consult your authorised dealer in this case.
Ceramic smoke deflector
We recommend that you treat the ceramic smoke deflector
(Skamol) with caution as it is a delicate material (not included
in the warranty). It is extremely heat-resistant. See also the
specific instructions for your stove model.
Baking-compartment tiles
Never place pastry or the like directly on the baking com-
partment tiles. These are too hot, and the liquid/fat will be
absorbed by the tiles and thus cause nasty marks.
Some models are equipped with a valve in the baking com-
partment. This valve can be opened when you use the com-
partment as a baking oven in order to remove the steam.
