3. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Ash Drawer:
The ash drawer located below the fuel door is designed to make cleaning easier by containing the
ashes in a removable drawer. Replace ceramic packing cord as necessary to ensure a tight seal.
CAUTION:
Do not operate the stove with the ash drawer open or ajar, as this will produce extreme
temperatures within the stove (over-firing) as could result in a house fire. Damage caused from over-
firing is not covered under the manufacturers limited warranty
Ash Grate:
Above the ash drawer, located in the floor of the firebox is a rotating ash grate to facilitate transferring
ashes from the firebox into the ash drawer. To operate this grate, pull and push the loop handle on the
right hand side of the ash drawer face in and out several times. Operate stove only with the loop
handle pushed all the way in.
Baffle Plates:
The SCAN stove has three baffle plate that must be installed in the upper firebox. When in the proper
position, the rear edges of the baffle plates should touch the back wall of the firebox. See the
maintenance section of this manual for additional information on removing baffle plates for cleaning
and for drawings of fire box inclusive of baffle plates of the stove (see page 16-17).
Ceramic baffle plates are delivered with all SCAN stoves. When mounting a baffle plate place it
according to the description in section 5: Removing Baffle for Cleaning. Make sure that it is placed
symmetrically in the stove, i.e. with even amounts of free air space on each side.
We recommend that you treat the ceramic baffle plates (Skamol) with caution because it is a delicate
material (not covered by the limited warranty). It is extremely heat resistant.
Glass:
The glass is a heat resistance ceramic glass that can withstand continuous temperatures up to 1390°F
(754°C). This temperature is well beyond the temperatures in which you operate your stove.
This stove is designed to provide a flow of air over the inside of the glass. This air combined with high
temperatures helps keep the glass optimally clean when the combustion air intake is fully opened.
When operating the stove on low for extended periods of time, the glass may become dirty. A short,
hot fire will help clean off much of the normal sooth buildup (see section 6: Troubleshooting). In order
to keep glass soot free the moisture content of the wood must be between 15 and 18% on a wet basis.
Smoke Detectors:
Since there are always several potential sources of fire in any home, we recommend installing smoke
detectors. Do not install them too close to the stove as heat can activate them.
Room Ventilation:
During the combustion, oxygen taken from the room air is used. In rare cases it may be necessary to
mount a fresh-air duct on the stove. Please refer to your local building codes.
Fire Bricks:
Little cracks may arise in the firebricks because of a minor content of water, especially if the stove is
overheated during the first fire. These cracks do not influence the workability of the stove and are not
covered by the limited warranty
