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.
Before cleaning the glass, lock the door in the top position using the
fastener.
Then open the door as follows:
use the special tool included with your stove to release the screw
on the door as shown below. Carefully lift and open the door. You
can easily remove the sooty build up by cleaning with a dry cloth
and glass cleaner. Your authorised Scan dealer stocks a special glass
cleaner for this purpose.
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 smoke deflector 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 smoke deflector plates
Lift the lower smoke deflector plate, remove the pins at the sides,
and then remove the plate. Remove the upper smoke deflector plate
in the same way.
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
combustion chamber lining is not covered by the warranty.
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.
