Maintaining your wood-burning stove
Apart from regular chimney sweeping, your wood-burning stove does
not require any regular maintenance.
Coated surfaces
Clean your wood-burning stove by dusting with a dry, lint-free cloth.
If the topcoat is damaged, you can purchase a repair spray from your
authorised Scan dealer. As slight differences in colour are possible,
spray a larger area to achieve a natural transition for best results.
For best results, apply repair spray when the wood-burning stove is
hand-hot.
Cleaning the glass
Our wood-burning stoves are designed to prevent serious soot build
up on the glass. The best way to achieve this is to make sure you have
a sufficient combustion air supply. It is also important to use dry
wood, and have a correctly dimensioned chimney.
Even if you follow all of our instructions, a slight film of soot can build
up on the glass. You can easily remove this build up by cleaning with
a dry cloth and glass cleaner. Your authorised Scan dealer stocks a
special glass cleaner for this purpose.
Combustion chamber lining
Slight cracks can appear in the combustion chamber lining due to
moisture, or to the heating/cooling process. These cracks have no
influence on the heating performance or lifetime of your stove.
However, if the lining starts to crumble, you must replace it. The com-
bustion chamber lining is not covered by the warranty.
See page 30 for how to fit the combustion chamber sides in stoves
with steel panels.
Seals
All wood-burning stoves have seals made of ceramic material fitted to
the stove, the doors, and/or the glass. These seals are subject to wear
and tear, and must be replaced when necessary.
Chimney sweeping and cleaning your
wood-burning stove
Follow national and local chimney sweeping regulations. We
recommend having the wood-burning stove cleaned regularly by the
chimney sweep.
Before starting to clean your wood-burning stove, and sweep the flue
pipe, we recommend first removing the baffle plates.
Use only original replacement parts for maintenance and repairs of
your stove.
Note! Make sure the stove is cold before starting maintenance or
repair work.
Removing the baffle plates
Be very careful when removing the baffle plates from the stove.
Lift up the lower baffle plate, remove the pin, and remove the baffle
plate.
Lift up the upper baffle plate, pull it back, and take it out.
Checking the stove
Scan A/S recommends that you check your stove thoroughly after
sweeping/cleaning. Check all visible surfaces for cracks. Check that
all joints are tight and that the seals sit correctly. Worn or deformed
seals should be replaced.
