FLOOR PLATE
If you are placing the stove on a flammable floor, you must comply with the national and local regulations on the size of any
non-flammable subsurface required to cover the floor around the stove.
Your local Scan dealer can advise you on regulations concerning protection of flammable materials in the vicinity of your stove.
The floor plate’s function is to protect the floor and flammable material against any sparks that may occur.
CONVECTION AIR
The covering must contain holes for convection air. Convection means that there is an air circulation ensuring that the heat is
equally distributed in the room. It is important that the demands concerning convection areas are observed.
¬
Min. area for ingoing convection air: 350 cm

¬
Min. area for outgoing convection air: 500 cm

If there is not enough convection air, the covering may be damaged. Do not obstruct the convection holes.
Convection air grids are available as an accessory.
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 chimney type.
CONNECTION BETWEEN BUILT-IN 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.
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 bulit-in stove with an elbow pipe, you should use a curved elbow, as this gives a better draught.
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 chimney could impair functionality
¬
Always comply exactly with the instructions provided by the chimney supplier
INTERNAL INSTALLATION IN NON-FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
When building or fitting into structures that do not contain flammable materials, a minimum distance of 10 mm must be main-
tained between the brickwork and the convection hood. This is to prevent cracks in the brickwork caused by the expansion of the
metal while the stove is heating. This construction does not require convection grates except for the convection air produced by
the convection box of the insert. However, please note that without convection grates, the effect of the insert will be lower.
