Continuous firing
It is important to reach as high a temperature as possible in the
combustion chamber. This makes the most efficient use of the wood
stove and fuel, and ensures a clean burning process. At the same
time, this avoids soot build-up on the combustion chamber walls and
glass. While the stove is lit, you should not see any smoke, but just air
movement that indicates the burning process.
After completing the lighting phase, you should have a good layer of
embers in the wood stove; you can then start stoking up the stove.
Lay 1-3 pieces of wood, of about max 1,7 kg weight with max 10 cm
diameter and a length of about 25 cm onto the fire.
Note! The wood must catch fire quickly; this is why we recommend
setting the primary airflow to full power. Running the stove at too
low a temperature and with too little primary air can lead to defla-
gration of the gases, and thus cause damage to the stove.
When stoking up with wood, always open the glass door carefully to
avoid smoke escaping. Never stoke up with wood while the fire is still
burning nicely.
Environmentally-Friendly Heating
Avoid restricting your wood-burning stove to an extent where no
flames are visible during the degasifying period, as this leads to
particularly inefficient heating. The gases released by the wood
do not burn due to the low temperature in the combustion cham-
ber. Part of the gas condenses in the wood-burning stove and flue
system as soot, and this could lead to your chimney catching fire.
The smoke that exits the chimney is bad for the environment and
has an unpleasant smell.
Lighting
We recommend the use of fire starters, or similar products, which are
available from your Scan dealer. Using fire starters helps to light the
wood quicker, and keeps the burning process clean.
Never use liquid lighting fuels!
"Top down" lighting
Important! Always use a top-down lighting. The stove is constructed
for this in order to give the best exploitation."Top down" lighting is
a more environmentally friendly way of lighting the fire and helps to
keep the glass area as clean as possible.
2 pieces of wood approx. 20-25 cm long with a weight of approx.
0.5–0.6 kg per piece (image 1)
The wood must not cover the bottom entirely and must never be
placed higher than the Clean-Burn rail at the rear of the stove.
1 pieces of wood approx. 0.3–0.4 kg (image 2) 8-12 thin sticks of about
20 cm with a total weight of approx. 0,5 kg (image 3-5).3 fire starters.
Place logs, sticks and fire starters in the combustion chamber as
shown on images
1-5.
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).
