2. INSTALLATION
PRECAUTION
IF YOUR SCAN STOVE IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, OPERATED AND MAINTAINED, A
HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. FOR YOUR SAFETY, FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION
AND MAINTENANCE DIRECTIONS. CONTACT YOUR LOCAL BUILDING OFFICIALS ABOUT
RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS IN YOUR AREA.
Pre Installation Check List:
Before you begin an installation, review your plans, check to see:
1. Your stove and chimney connector will be far enough from combustible material to meet all
clearance requirements.
2. The floor protection is large enough and is constructed properly to meet all requirements.
3. You have all necessary permits from local authorities. Your local building official is the final
authority for approving your installation as safe and determining that it meets all local and state
building and safety codes.
The metal label permanently attached to the back of every SCAN stove shows that it has been tested
to current UL and ULC safety standards, and gives the name of the testing laboratory. Clearance and
installation information is also printed on the label. Local authorities will generally accept the label as
evidence that, when the stove is installed according to the information on the label and in this manual,
the installation meets codes and can be approved.
Codes vary in different areas. Before starting the installation, review your plans with the local building
authority. Your local dealer can provide any additional information needed.
For any unresolved questions about installation in the USA, refer to the national Fire Protection
Association’s publication ANSI/NFPA 211 Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel
Burning Appliances. For installation in Canada, refer to CSA CAN-B365, Installation Code for Solid
Fuel Burning Applications and Equipment. These standards are the basis for many national codes.
They are nationally recognized and are accepted by most local authorities. Your local dealer or your
local building official may have a copy of these regulations.
WARNING: Check all local building and safety codes before installation. The installation instructions
and appropriate code requirements must be followed exactly and without compromise. Alterations to
the stove are not allowed. Do not connect the stove to a chimney system serving another stove,
appliance or any air distribution duct. Failure to follow these instructions will void the manufacturers
warranty.
NOTE: If you plan to vent your stove into an existing masonry chimney, have the chimney inspected
by a local fire marshal or qualified installer. Remember that the chimney and its location on the roof
heavily influent on the stove performance. An oversized flue may not provide effective draught and a
flue liner may be required. (Observe draft requirements). Consult your dealer or qualified installer
before final selection is made.
We advise you to leave enough room to enable cleaning between the stove and the wall.
