INSTRUCTIONS FOR HEATING
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY OPERATION
Avoid turning down your wood-burning stove to the point where no flames are
visible from the wood, as this leads to poor combustion and low efficiency. The
gases released from the wood will not be burnt off due to the low temperature
in the combustion chamber. Some of the gases will condense in the stove and
flue system as soot, and this could lead to your chimney catching fire at a later
point. The residual smoke which exits the chimney will pollute the surrounding
area and cause an unpleasant smell.
LIGHTING
We recommend the use of fire lighters, or similar products, which are available from your Scan dealer.
Using fire lighters helps light the wood more quickly and keeps the combustion process clean.
See our video about correct firing on www.scan.dk or scan the QR-code. Please note that this
video is only intended as a guide. You should also follow the instructions in the specific manual
for your stove model!
NOTE: Never use liquid lighting fuels!
”TOP DOWN” LIGHTING
"Top down" lighting is a more environmentally friendly way of lighting the fire and helps to keep the glass area as clean as possible.
Do as follows for a correct ”top down” lighting:
¬
4 pieces of wood approx. 25-40 cm long with a weight of approx. 0.6-0.8 kg per piece
¬
15 thin pieces of firewood, with a total weight of approx. 0.8-1.0 kg
¬
3-4 fire lighters
1
Place the pieces of wood, firewood and fire lighters in the combustion chamber as shown below

Set the primary and secondary air controls to maximum in the lighting phase. If the fire is too strong, you may throttle down
the primary air damper (at the left)
NOTE: The wood must never be placed higher than the tertiary holes at the rear of the burn chamber
(This does not apply at a cold start).
NOTE!
No matter how good your chimney is,
it will not perform well, if you do
not use it correctly. Equally, a poor
chimney may well give you acceptable
results, if you use it correctly
