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 chim-
ney sweep, for advice. These experts will also let you know if your chimney needs renovating.
¬
When connecting a pre-fabricated element chimney, follow the manufacturer’s connection instructions for the relevant chim-
ney 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 (we recommend using
JØTUL’s chimney system). This ensures that the chimney will match your wood-burning stove.
REQUIREMENTS FOR CHIMNEY
The chimney must have a diameter of min. 148 mm and be labelled T400 and G for soot testing. The length must be min. 4 me-
tres.
If you opt to connect the stove with an elbow pipe, you should use a curved elbow, as this gives a better draught.
When using a steel chimney, we recommend that it is equipped with an inspection door.
If you connect the stove with a sharp elbow pipe, the cleansing lid must be placed in the vertical part so that the
horizontal part can be cleaned through here.
The requirements to the chimney and the flue pipe in terms of safety distances must be met.

Choosing the wrong length or diameter of steel chimney could impair functionality.

Always observe the chimney vendor‘s instructions precisely.
