Load bearing underlay
All of the products in our portfolio are classified as light-duty firepla-
ces; in most cases, there is no need to reinforce the floor, so that you
can typically use the normal floor.
However, you should make sure that the load bearing underlay can
bear the weight of the wood-burning stove and that of the chimney.
Floor plate
If you are setting up the stove on a flammable floor, observe national
and local regulations on the size of the non-flammable underlay that
covers the floor around the stove.
Your local Scan dealer can advise you on regulations concerning
flammable materials in the vicinity of your stove.
The idea behind the floor plate is that it protects the floor and flam-
mable material against sparks.
The floor plate can be made of steel or glass, and the stove can be set
up on brick, natural stone or similar materials.
This Scan wood-burning stove has an integrated floor plate, and
can thus be set up on any flammable material without a protective
underlay.
If you have chosen the Scan
58
wall-hung model, the floor plate must
extend right back to the hanging wall.

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 flue needs
renovating.
When connecting a pre-fabricated element chimney, follow the
manufacturer’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. This ensures that the chimney
will match your wood-burning stove. As a general rule, the length of
the flue should not be less than 3,5 m measured from the top of the
wood-burning stove.
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 intend to use an elbow pipe with the Scan
58
, we recommend
the use of a curved elbow pipe to improve the draft.
If you are connecting your stove using a sharp elbow bend, the clea-
nout door should be in the vertical section, such that the horizontal
part can be cleaned through it.
Scan 58 with high top can be fi tted with an elbow pipe provided that
the stove is fi xed to the wall using a special wall mounting kit. This
kit can be purchased from your local Scan dealer.
