MAINTAINANCE
SWEEPING THE CHIMNEY AND CLEANING THE STOVE
Follow national and local regulations for sweeping the chimney. We recommend having the stove cleaned regularly by a chimney
sweep.
Before cleaning the stove and sweeping the flue pipe and chimney, we recommend removing the baffle plates.
(See section “Baffle plates and combustion lining")
NOTE: All service and reparation must be done, when the stove is cold.
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 gaskets are correctly seated. Worn or deformed gaskets should be replaced.
SERVICING
We recommend that the stove is thoroughly serviced at least every two years by a qualified fitter. Remember only to use original
spare parts.
The service should include the following:
¬
Lubricate hinges using copper grease
¬
Check the gaskets. Replace any that are broken or have turned hart
¬
Check the combustion chamber lining and the grate
¬
Check heat-insulating materials
¬
Check the locking device
COMBUSTION CHAMBER LINING
Slight cracks can appear in the combustion chamber lining due to moisture or sudden heating/cooling. These cracks have no
influence on the output or lifetime of your stove. However, if the lining starts to crumble and fall out, you must replace it.
The combustion chamber lining is not covered by the warranty.
GASKETS
All wood-burning stoves have seals made of ceramic material fitted to the stove, the door and/or the glass. These seals are
subject to wear and tear and must be replaced when necessary.
Gaskets are not covered by the warranty.
PAINTED SURFACES
Clean your wood-burning stove by wiping it down with a dry, lint-free cloth.
If the paint finish gets damaged, you can purchase repair paint in spray form from your Scan dealer. As slight differences in
colour shade are possible, we recommend you spray a larger area to achieve a natural blend. For best results, apply repair spray
when the stove is warm enough for you to just keep your hand on it, but no hotter.
NOTE: Make sure to air the room thoroughly after applying spray paint.
