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 chimney sweep,
for advice. These experts will also let you know if your chimney needs
renovating.
When connecting a pre-fabricated element chimney, follow the manu-
facturer’s connection instructions for the relevant chimney 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. As a general rule, the length of the chimney
should not be less than
4
metres, measured from the top of the stove.
Specific weather or installation conditions might require a different
length.
Choosing the wrong length or diameter of steel chimney could
impair functionality.
Always observe the chimney vendor‘s instructions precisely.
Requirements for chimney
The chimney must be labelled
T400
and G for soot testing.
Connection with
90
° elbow pipe
If you opt to connect the stove with an elbow pipe, you should use a
curved elbow, as this gives a better draught.
Connecting piece / top outlet
The stove is prepared from the factory for top outlet.
The connecting piece is placed loosely in the top outlet of the stove.
The gasket for the connecting piece and the screws for fastening the
connecting piece are in the stove’s ash drawer.
