Scandinavian Elegance

In 1972 DAN SKAN was the first company to sell Scandinavian ‘warm furniture made from steel’ in Germany. Shortly afterwards, our stoves went into production with designs by the Danish architect Gerd Heybey.

Combining beauty with utility is a DAN SKAN tradition which the latest Modern Line with its innovative engineering and fresh design by architect Heiko Heybey, Gerd’s son, also adheres to.

The fewest fine particles and the greatest efficiency is our goal as a family business – both stoves and environmental protection are very close to our hearts. As a result DAN SKAN have developed many innovations, shaped the stove industry thinking and along the way created many iconic design classics.

Even today, despite globalisation, DAN SKAN focus on sustainable development and quality of production from Denmark. For almost 40 years our stoves have not only warmed houses and rooms but also peoples’ hearts!

With this in mind we wish you great pleasure when reading our latest DAN SKAN guidebook.

Warm regards

The Heybey Family

The design of the slender Nuro series is the epitome of contemporary style. This is a modern interpretation of the ‘Fyrtønde’, one of the very first steel stoves designed by the architect Hans Dahl in the 1970s. The Nuro is available in different heights – 100 cm or 120 cm, with optional side windows and optional drawer or log storage compartment. Being a completely cylindrical stove the NURO is perfectly at home in either corner or free-standing installations.As an alternative to the steel top plate you can opt for a ‘Fyrtønde-Top’. This is a modern interpretation of a design classic with steel bars to put a kettle on. Other options include top plates of soapstone, sandstone, lavastone, etc. With a top plate made of natural stone the NURO has up to 36 kg of heat storage.

Explanations for techniques and symbols

Turntable plate availableFor these models a turntable plate is available. It can also be added at a later stage and comes as a set complete with a flue adaptor.

Glass font hearth plates availableThese offer many advantages over the normal plates, such as being easy to lift up for cleaning. They can be easily stored in summer and also look elegant (subject to local building regulations).

Optional rear connectionThe new stoves with this symbol can also be connected to the chimney at the rear.

Optional heat storage elements Additional heat storage can be placed directly above the burning chamber. This means even a steel stove can be turned into an energy-saving stove.

‘Cool hand’ door handle The door handles stay cool enough to be opened without protective gloves even after the stove has been in use for a long time.

Self-closing, tightening door latchThe DanSkan door mechanism safely and securely seals the stove door to the stove bodywork in a simular way to a modern car door.

Hot purge air for exceptionally clean windowsThe special air wash system for the glass (secondary air) is pre-heated very intensively in special channels directly over the burning chamber. A DAN SKAN invention, which prevents soot particles getting on to the glass as much as possible.

Connection for external or direct air intakeThis, in combination with the patented automatic system, is a real DAN SKAN invention. Strategically placed at the back of the fire chamber, the AIRBOX uses the heat from combustion to pre-heat the external air. At the same time the AIRBOX is used as a connection for external air supply which can now be closed on all DIBt (a stringent German compliance scheme) tested models.

Classic Automatic Tertiary AirThanks to the bimetal-controlled automatic tertiary air system which has been tried and tested for over 20 years, all DAN SKAN stove have self-regulating post-combustion airflow. Because of this the levels of fine particles tested by the EN are well below the norm for the BImSchV II. Low emission burning of DAN SKAN stoves has always been our contribution to protecting the environment.

Intelligent, fully automatic primary, secondary, and tertiary air systemsThe new design line by DAN SKAN distinguishes itself by further developing the tried and tested DAN SKAN patented automatic air system. A mechanical bimetal spring (not requiring any battery or power) not only regulates the post-combustion air but also controls the whole burning process. This means the user does not need to adjust anything, the stove regulates itself! During the initial phase the primary, secondary and tertiary air systems are opened to the maximum. During the heating process the secondary and tertiary air systems are opened and closed according to requirements. All the air intake is pre-heated in the AIRBOX. The secondary and tertiary air systems are additionally pre-heated within special channels in the fire chamber to get an optimally clean combustion.

The depth of the baking plate is perfect … more than 24 cm, so that you can easily place a tall pot or kettle inside.The TWIST comes with a wood storage compartment and the SWING features a semi-circular cut-away base to echo the top plate and provide a distinctive look.The design of TWIST and SWING stoves are, like the TOPO, often copied, but never bettered!

SINCE 1972Our motto is 'beauty in a nordic style'. Things which add pleasure to life = original Dan SKan stoves, combining comfort and design. Dan SKan partners offer you quality, authenticity and originality in their products and through excellent co-operation with them Dan SKan remains highly competitive and committed to producing desirable and efficient stoves – we are literally one big Dan SKan family.

STILL ON TOP…We introduced the first fire-view stove in 1967 for relaxing in comfort, and for heating and cooking, just like our modern-day stoves.Even as early as 1972 we designed and produced stoves according our own original ideas. at this time no one was really thinking about the energy crisis. We only thought about comfortable living and heating. However, over the years, many things were developed first of all by us, so today we are proud to say: original Dan SKan! Our ideas and our know-how give us the edge. Our aim is, and always has been, to combine beauty with utility, and to always offer our customers the utmost in workmanship, finishing, function and design!

DESIGN PROTECTIONS AND PATENTSDan SKan works under its international protected brands Dan SKan, Dan STOVE, DannE and DanKaM. Our self-developed products are patented. innovation comes naturally to Dan SKan; richness of ideas and creativity follow us along our chosen path.

OUR VIKING ANCESTORS…Following the path of our Viking ancestors we still work in the utmost Danish Scandinavian tradition: original Dan SKan! Heybey (our family’s name), Hedeby, Haitabhu are the same name. Haitabu, close to the modern city of Schleswig at the river Schlei, was the largest Viking trade center at the beginning of the last millenium.

OUR INVITATIONThe fascination of our design in nordic style can barely be shown in a brochure and therefore we cordially invite you to visit your Dan SKan partner to see the quality with your own eyes and where a warm welcome will surely await you.

Warmest regards,

TECHNIQUE AND DESIGNSince the early 70s Dan SKan has been known for its ground-breaking innovations which have put us at the forefront of stove development and where we remain today.

THE ‘FIRE VIEW’ STOVEEven the phrase ‘fire-view’ stove in german was an invention of Dan SKan. First used by Dan SKan in our early promotional literature to describe the visual benefits of our stove designs, it is now a general term used to describe any of today’s stoves which feature a window.

TWO-LAYERED RIDDLE GRATEin 1978 the invention of the two-layered riddle grate was revolutionary – a genuine ‘world first’ designed by the architect gerd Heybey, and which is now a Dan SKan protected design. This simple development allows you to open and close the grate, controlling the primary air flow for different fuels and burning options as well as providing an external riddling function. The inner riddle grate sits slightly lower in the fire-chamber base allow-ing a deeper protective layer of ash to build up which helps prolong the life of the grate.

SUPERIOR AIR WASH SYSTEMDan SKan was the first stove manufacturer to use air Wash, but unlike the others we have continued to develop our air wash system which now includes vertical side vents to wash the window both up and down and from side to side for a continuous clear view of the fire.

ANGLED FIRE CHAMBERanother ‘world first’ for Dan SKan. The Dan SKan angled fire chamber avoids poorly reflecting ‘cold’ corners and optimises the reflection of the heat to the fire chamber to improve overall efficiency.

DUBLE DOOR LOCKDan SKan’s innovative double door lock ensures a safe and secure seal around both doors including at the point where they meet. Unlike other double-doored stoves the Dan SKan is very user-friendly and easy to close. The lock design in the narrow door frames allows the minimum visual disruption to your view of the whole fire.

BALL AND SOCKET HINGESFor single doored stoves we have invented the ball and socket hinge which will always provide the ideal pressure to deliver a safe and secure seal on the Dan SKan’s self-closing doors.

SAND BLASTED HANDLESStrength and comfort. all Dan SKan handles are made with stainless steel which is then sand blasted to maximise the surface area. This increased surface area provides better cooling which helps to reduce the heat when handling.

DOOR SEALSSince the early days all Dan SKan Classic stoves have used fibre-free seals made from folded copper which are designed to give you a longer-lasting safe and secure seal. in line with technical and legislation developments the latest Dan SKan Modern line stoves use state-of-the-art densely woven tube seals with metal inserts designed to provide an abrasion resistant air-seal, even under adverse conditions.

CENTRAL AIR CONTROLa distinctive and unique feature of all Dan SKan stoves. all the combustion air (primary and secondary) is easily controlled with this one user-friendly pull flap which also enables you to see at-a-glance if the incoming air is opened or closed.

INTELLIGENT AUTOMATIC AIRDan SKan stoves were the first in the world to operate with an additional combustion air supply, known today as tertiary air. The proven bimetal controlled Dan SKan automatic pre-heated air provides intelligent control of the post-combustion air and, at the same time, this air is also used to wash off any dry particulates which have settled on the stove window.

PATENTED AIR-BOXDan SKan has developed a patented air-box, which features a heat-exchanger, to deliver preheated external air (also known as direct air) directly to the stove. This is ideal for today‘s newly built homes where the high insulation standards may limit the amount of combustion air the stove could receive and reduce its effectiveness. Supplying air direct to the stove also prevents cold draughts associated with air moving from other parts of the house to supply the stove. Ensuring that this air supply is pre-heated prevents the replacement combustion air continuously cooling the fire chamber.

INNOVATIONS

1. SUPERIOR MATERIAL STRENGTHThe service life of any stove is governed by the thickness and fire resistance of the materials used, especially within the fire chamber. The thicker the material then the more resilient to the effects of high temperature the stove will be. Dan SKan materials are therefore chosen in accordance so that our stoves successfully pass a number of stringent stability and security tests.

For example, the Dan SKan baking shelves, which are subject to the greatest effects of the fire are constructed with a minimum of 5 mm thick plate steel and all Dan SKan door handles are made of solid stainless steel so that they remain robust and durable even after many years of operation.

2. STABLE DOOR CONSTRUCTIONDoors made from strong materials and with a solid construction are particularly important for the efficient and safe operation as well as the lifespan of your stove. Dan SKan doors and carrying frames remain stable even after many years of use, opening and closing the same way they did when they were first new. Once you compare the quality and construction of Dan SKan doors and frames with any others it‘s very easy to see Dan SKan‘s many benefits.

The MODErn linE stoves all feature superior strength cast iron doors whilstthe double doors used in the ClaSSiCrange, not only provide excellent strength and stability, but they also enable the door to carry a bigger glass area, which in turn provides a much greater view of the fire.

3. GLASS DOOR AIR WASHINGa clear view of the fire and the wonderful flame patterns is one of the great pleasures of owning a stove. However, if the glass is to remain clean during operation it must have an effective air wash. Even the largest glass window on a Dan SKan stove will remain clear because of the close proximity of the incoming fresh air to the glass – the closer it is then the more effective the air wash and cleaning process is at keeping the smoke and particulates away. in addition Dan SKan windows benefit from being air washed at the top and bottom as well as from the sides. Stoves with air wash at the top only cannot provide the same air wash efficiency as a Dan SKan stove.

4. FIRE CHAMBER LININGall Dan SKan fire chamber linings are constructed out of 30 mm thick heat-reflecting Skamol plates which remain strong and, stable during the extremely high temperatures of the firing process. Dan SKan firebricks fit snuggly together, leaving sufficient room for expansion, and do not rely on grouting to maintain their stability so that they can always be easily replaced later, even by a novice. grouted fire chambers look good at first but almost always fail later with bigger panels cracking during the expansion process.

THE FIRE CHAMBER LINING CONCEPTFOR ALL DAN SKAN STOVES

5. THE TWO LAYERED RIDDLE GRATEa two-layered riddle grate, which can be closed for wood burning to shut off combustion air from below is definitely a ‘must have’ for any multi fuel stove. an original Dan SKan innovation! a stove which can change simply from mineral fuel burning to wood burning is hardly thinkable without this Dan SKan invention. So much so that many leading stove manufacturers adapted the Dan SKan double-layered riddle grate, however our clever protected design is still the original and the best.

Dan SKan idea 1978!

6. THE PULL CONTROLDan SKan stoves do not require the typical controls that you see on other stoves for the regulation of combustion air. On a Dan SKan this work is taken over by the intelligent auto-matic bimetal 'thermostat' system. The rectangular pull control, with the logo, on our Classic stoves (round on the Modern line) is the only control that you will need to use – and it's very simple. The pull control is adjusted by pulling outwards to open the supply of basic combustion air. The rest of the combustion air regulation is then taken over automatically by by the intelligent automatic bimetal system which will maintain an ideal supply of air. When burning the pull control is always open.

QUALITY CRITERIATHE ADVANTAGES OF DAN SKAN STOVES

central pull control on Dan SKan stoves does exactly that because you can see at a glance if it is open or closed – no more fine tuning all those levers!

8. INTELLIGENT AND AUTOMATICDan SKan stoves burn beautifully as if by magic! This is because at the heart of each of our stoves is the tried and tested bimetal automatic combustion control system. Complete control is taken over by a robust bimetal spring which is located above the baffle plate on the back wall of the stove in a durable well-protected ‘magic box’ – a highly reliable and proven technique.

Combustion air moves through a system of channels where it is preheated before it enters at the top of the fire chamber above the flames, impro-ving efficiency as previously described. in addition, when this post-combustion air is automatically and intelligently regulated with our system, according to the fire size and its different needs, the advantages for the stove user and for the environment are significant.

9. EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY The high efficiency of Dan SKan stoves means that you use less wood. Our fire chambers, with their angular corners, are designed to improve heat reflection and thus deliver better burning. The hot pre-combustion air (discussed above) also adds to this high efficiency since the

12. FLUE OPTIONSa top connecting flue will always provide a better flue draught and therefore better efficiency, but in some installations a top flue may not always be possible and a rear flue may be the preferred solution. Many Dan SKan stoves feature an easily switched top (HT) and rear flue (HB) configured option but some models may only be flued from the top (HT), so check this out before you make your decision. an exposed top flue pipe will also contribute heat to the room. Please refer to local, national and European building regulations on installation matters.

13. ROOM HEATING CAPACITYDan SKan convection stoves are designed to gently move warm air around your living space and becau-se the minimum distances to com-bustible materials are considerably less than for traditional radiant stoves their applications can be both practical and safe, especially for contemporary open-plan living. The minimum and maximum heat output range is shown on the table on page 88. in addition some models in the new MODErn linE range feature a ‘heat sink’ option to provide the release of stored heat long after the stove has gone out. Your authorised Dan SKan partner will be happy to help and advise you on the best heat output and stove type for your living space.

outgoing flue gases are used again to produce more energy which, at the same time, makes the stoves cleaner burning by pre-combusting pollutants to produce the lowest possible finedust pollution. Pre-heated combustion air ensures complete burning and maximum use of the heating gases. Dan SKan stoves are burned and controlled without the need for electricity to provide you future-proof heating independence from a cost-effective renewable resource – wood. By using less of this cheap fuel your new Dan SKan stove will quickly pay for itself, many times over its lifetime!

10. MODERN MATERIALSOnly the best materials are used to build a Dan SKan stove. in former times clay firebricks were used for the fire chamber lining but nowadays we use the improved and highly heat reflecting Skamol panels which are made from vermiculite, a naturally occurring material. Skamol, as well as the highly heat resistant ceramic glass we use, both products originally invented for the aerospace industry, contribute to the criteria that the very best quality products should feature.

11. ALLERGIES AND HEALTHDan SKan stoves address current health concerns. Woven fibre gaskets used in other stoves, which deteriorate during use, could introduce unhealthy glass fibres into the living room air which unfortunately some people with allergies could have a negative reaction to, with possible long-lasting health consequences.That’s why Dan SKan only use abrasion-free metal gasket or very tightly woven tubular sealing on their stoves. For people with house-dust allergy it is important that you can easily clean or vacuum the convection airways of the stove which move the warm air around the room. all Dan SKan convection backplates and the side panels are very easy to remove and will allow you to do this regularly and in a matter of minutes.

CONTINUOUS CHALLENGEinefficient and improperly burning stoves contribute to atmos-pheric pollution, including the air that we breathe. good combustion – meaning clean combustion, occurs at the highest burn temperatures and when there is also effective control of the combustion air. Dan SKan designers have worked constantly to improve combustion techniques and reduce CO, including fine dust particulates so that all Dan SKan stoves are tested to, and surpass, the strictest environmental standards making them some of the ‘greenest’ stoves in the world. The unique design of the fire chamber and the automatically controlled flow of the primary, secondary and tertiary combustion air delivers very clean and consistent burning ensuring that Dan SKan stoves are as environmentally friendly as possible so that they can be used and relied upon in the future. Our low hydrocarbons and low fine particulates combined with the highest efficiencies are the result of nearly four decades of continuous Dan SKan research and development work.

INTELLIGENT STOVESDan SKan stoves feature pre-heated post-combustion tertiary air, a particularly clean and environmentally friendly improvement to the combustion process. The effects of the tertiary air can be easily seen high on the flames at the top of the fire chamber, through the cleaner windows and by the exceptionally clean fire chamber linings. it is important to remember that the prerequisite of clean burning remains of course the use of dry fully seasoned wood with a moisture content of less than 18%. The elimination of operator errors through the intelligent and automatic control of the combustion air also determines a higher level of efficiency.

HIGH EFFICIENCYDan SKan‘s automatic supply of combustion air, as well the additional pre-combustion air delivers the correct amount of combustion air at exactly the time that the fire needs it – for example, the bigger a fire is then the more air that is required to burn efficiently and burn off virtually all of the flue gases. The intelligent Dan SKan stove simply regulates itself and therefore offers three distinct advantages for the user and for the environment:

1. Extremely low-emission combustion2. Highest possible efficiency – less fuel used3. Simplicity of operation that maximises the benefits of

points 1 and 2 above

AUTOMATIC TERTIARY AIRThe Dan SKan automatic combustion air flow opens when the fire in the stove is large and closes when the fire burns down according to the needs of the fire. all of the subtle adjustments in between are carried out seamlessly – and automatically. Since the pre-heated tertiary air is fed into the top of fire chamber it is also used to ‘air wash’ the window to help keep it clean during combustion.Should you ever need to, the automatic system can be easily reset from the original factory setting (about 11 o‘clock – see diagram) to allow for individual installations and the strength of the available up-draught. For example, if the stove burns too strongly because of a strong up-draught then by using the correctly sized spanner the automatic lever can be moved forward to the 12 or even 1 o‘clock position. This will ensure that the control of the air flow will automatically open later in the cycle to contribute to a slower burning process.

FULLY AUTOMATIC INNOVATION

A MODERN LINE FEATUREall Dan SKan MODErn linE stoves feature the innovative fully automatici-air system where the entire combustion process is independently and automatically regulated from the pre-fire start to the dying embers at the fire‘s end without the need for electricity.as on the original ClaSSiC linE stoves, the heart of the automatic system remains the proven and Dan SKan patented bimetal spring con-trol which now regulates primary, secondary and tertiary air to maximise the stove‘s overall efficiency.

WHY AUTOMATIC?Maximising highly efficient and environmentally friendly combustion requires constant adjustments to the flow and levels of combustion air – primary, secondary and tertiary, throughout the burn cycle. This would be virtually impossible to achieve, even for a stove expert, as you would need to constantly monitor the flame colour and character then regulate the air accordingly – a time-consuming process! Only a test laboratory could come close and only with the use of technically sophisticated equipment.When starting a fire a large amount of oxygen is needed to ignite the combustible material as quickly as possible, which then needs to be reduced to control the burn rate of the fuel so that it is not wasted – but not too much so that nuisance smoke and soot is created if the fuel is starved of combustion air. good regulation of the correct combustion air can really only be achieved by using an intelligent automatic system which will consistently supply the fire with the necessary air: Dan SKan i-air!

TOTAL CONTROL i-air automatically regulates the air supply throughout the entire burning process to get the best performance out of your fuel and stove so that you don‘t have to. You can sit back and relax knowing that even the best test results achieved in the laboratory are now easily achievable in the home, maximising fuel efficiency and minimising the effects on the environment.

MAXIMUM EFFICIENCYi-air is a cost-effective energy-efficient combustion process that not only protects the environment but can also save you money.Dan SKan‘s patented i-air automatic system has been proven to extend the fuel burn time and reduce emissions by controlling the fire chamber temperature, which in turn results in lower heat losses.

EX-AIRBURNING WITH EXTERNALLY SUPPLIED COMBUSTION AIR

EX-AIR-1: CLASSIC SYSTEM WITH PRE-HEATED TERTIARY AIR

EX-AIR 2: EXTERNAL AIR SYSTEM WHICH DOES NOT USE INTERNAL AIR

increasingly throughout Europe many Dan SKan stoves are being installed in ‘energy-saving’ or low-energy houses, which are insulated to very high standards and where potential heat loss, and therefore the movement of air, is minimised. in germany they have their own strict building standard covering external air known as DiBt with which the new Dan SKan MODErn linE stoves comply. Each of our models feature an external air (also known as direct air) inlet option where a connection pipe is used to draw combustion air from outside the house. The Dan SKan EX-air system automatically delivers tertiary air, which is pre-heated to 300º C as it travels through a series of channels into the combustion chamber where it then enters the after-burning process, just above the top of the flames. This ensures that the fire chamber is not continuously cooled by the colder external air.

Each Dan SKan Classic stove has the option of supplying the external com-bustion air from the base (a), where the 100mm diameter connecting pipe can be concealed below the floor or hearth, or from the rear of the stove (B). Outdoor air has the potential to be extremely cold so that pre-heating this air supply is essential to ensure the efficient performance of fire chamber. Both of these options allow a much longer time for the outdoor air to draw heat from the rear of the stove as it moves through pre-heating channels towards the inlet at the top of the fire chamber as normal room pressure pre-heated Tertiary air (C).Thousands of stoves with the Dan SKan EX-air-1 system have proven them-selves in low-energy or passive houses because, with this system, it means that the stove acts like a potential pressure balancing safety valve. The external air inlet at the base or rear of the stove, connects with the internal air via the stove‘s convection system ensuring that excessive negative pressure in the installation room, and the potential problems this could cause with the stove‘s safe operation, are avoided.if negative pressure is created in the room where the stove is located and this pressure is higher than inside the chimney system, then additional air can be fed into the room out of the convection aperture at the rear top of the Dan SKan stove (D).

The EX-air 2 supplies combustion air via a sealed, ventilation and internal air-independent system, and is especially suitable for modern low-energy houses with high seal windows as well as doors and pressure balance control. This system requires the installation of the Dan SKan patented air-BOX which includes an integrated heat exchanger. The airBOX can also be added at a later date since all Dan SKan stove back plates feature a pre-prepared laser cut aperture which can be easily removed to allow the new connection. as with the EX-air 1 system each stove has the option of supplying the external combustion air from the base (a), where the 100 mm diameter connecting pipe can be concealed below the floor or hearth, or from the rear of the stove (B).Within the enclosed airBOX the combustion air is pre-heated by the integra-ted heat exchanger at the rear of the fire box (D) before it is delivered auto-matically in the correct amount, into the fire chamber as tertiary air (C). This ensures a very high post-combustion air temperature in the upper part of the fire chamber to feed the top of the flames and to make the stove operate with much greater efficiency while also making it much cleaner burning. The highest negative pressure is in the area just above the baffle plate and this allows the pre-heated tertiary air to be efficiently drawn in.When using the EX-air-2 system there is no need to use the pull control or to open the stove door to supply combustion air when lighting a standard fire as special air vents at the door sides provide the correct amount of air to get the pre-fire started.Please note: Some Building regulations do not permit ‘closing off’ the external air supply, even when the stove is not being used. Please refer to your local and national building regulations.if this is prohibited, Dan SKan recommend that suitable precautions are the-refore taken to avoid potential condensation forming on the external air duct as it enters the warmer room, for example insulating the air duct.

DIBt SETTING THE STANDARDS FOR STOVES OPERATING WITH INDEPENDENT EXTERNAL AIR

AIRBOX: THE BENEFITS OF THE PATENTED AUTOMATIC AIR REGULATION AND HEAT EXCHANGER

The german institute for Buildings (DiBt) gives technical approval only to those stoves which, having undergone official laboratory tests, conform to its strict criteria for safe burning without the use of the surrounding air, thus relying solely on an external independent air source to provide all necessary combustion air. The tests check for CO concentration (ppm) in the flue gases and the leak rate (m³/h) at 10 Pa after thermal and mechanical stress. For example, this includes testing the stove‘s door seal for air-tightness after being opened and closed for a minimum of 6,000 times. all Dan SKan MODErn linE stoves conform to DiBt criteria.

APPLICATIONSDiBt approved stoves need to be connected with a well sealed external air connection which has a valve mechanism to close the external air off when the stove is not in use. approved stoves can only be installed in rooms where it is proven that even with air removed from the room by, for example, ventilation fans, extractor cooker hoods, hot-air heating systems and air dryers etc it is guaranteed never to be less than 8 Pa negative pressure in the room or house. The ideal pressure for the operation of a stove is 4 Pa and this is generally to be desired. it is also important that all flue pipe and flue system connections are also well sealed. important: Please check your local and national building regulations to ensure that your proposed installation conforms.

Cold air, drawn in from outside, should always be heated before arriving into the combustion chamber, in order to maintain the fire chamber temperature which will ensure clean and efficient burning. External air can sometimes be extremely cold, often with freezing temperatures, and would make the stove burn poorly, possibly even putting the stove out, and also making it burn dirty so that it could fail today‘s environmental and emissions standards. Our patented airBOX (which heats the air at the rear convection area of the stove) combinded with our intelligent automatic air regulation system outlined earlier, enables you to get the very best out of your Dan SKan stove and fuel every time by supplying the fire chamber with the optimal quantity of air at a highly efficient pre-combustion temperature.

SITE REQUIREMENTSThe external air supply to the rear or base of the stove should be delivered through a 100 mm diameter duct provided that there is only one bend and that the distance to the outside air is less than 5 m. all joints should be well sealed. Should the distance be greater or the route require more than one bend then a 150 mm diameter duct must be used only reverting to 100 mm diameter when close to the stove connection point. Subject to local and national building regulations this duct should feature a shut off valve close to the outside air end to prevent cold air entering the house when the stove is not in use.The installation of a Dan SKan stove incorporating the airBOX system within a house with a heat recovery system must comply with local and national building regulations ventilation requirements. Please consult your installer or Dan SKan partner who will be able to advise.

BASE INLET LOCATIONit is recommended that the location of the base air inlet opening to take the 100 mm diameter external air duct should be positioned at the centre rear of the stove beneath the stove base – see the diagram of a typical stove base floor plan.

THE FLUE SYSTEM……THE ENGINE OF THE STOVEFLUE DRAUGHT AND COMBUSTIONThere are three important considerations necessary to maximise the performance of your stove:1. Perfect post-combustion with pre-heated air – automatic tertiary air.2. The correct fuel – good burning, well-seasoned wood with less than 18 % moisture content.3. a flue system with good up-draught – the ‘engine’ of the stove. a stove does not produce its own up-draught. This is created through differences in air pressure between the inside of the house and the pressure of the outside air caused by the difference between the two temperatures causing the normally warmer internal air to rise through the flue system. a chimney with the wrong dimensions (ie a much greater cross-section than the stove flue outlet) will hinder the deve-lopment of good up-draught. Weather and atmospheric conditions will also affect the draught performance.all Dan SKan stoves are manufactured using the latest laser techno-logy to create a uniform quality criteria to ensure that they all deliver the same special high performance combustion, but like a car this per-formance will very much depend upon a good engine and good fuel.

SIMPLE PERFORMANCE TESTSif you want to test the performance of the stove yourself, try the following simple tests:1. Safety Match Test for Up-draughtWhen the stove is cold, open the stove door – just a small gap, and then hold a burning match just in front of the gap (about 50 mm / 2").if the flame is drawn into the fire chamber, the flue system has up-draught. However, if the flame is not drawn in, or is pushed outwards into the room then the flue could have no up-draught at all or possibly a down-draught problem. if the match is drawn in so strongly that it goes out, then you probably have very good up-draught.2. Ash Pan Fire Test for Air Wash FunctionWith the ClaSSiC linE, again, when the stove is cold, fully open the pull control, then open up the ash pan and place crumbled-up newspaper inside it. after setting the paper alight, quickly close up the ash pan, making sure it is fully closed. You should see smoke, firstly coming out of the lower air wash channels (towards the base of the window) and eventually coming out of the upper air wash channels. This demonstrates that the air wash channels are open and functioning properly.3. Soot Test for Fuel QualityShould you see persistent carbon deposits on the fire chamber fittings or darkening of the glass then we recommend that you undertake the following simple visual checks. remove the Skamol panel or ‘lid’ at the inside top of the fire chamber or alternatively remove the inspection hatch on the flue pipe. Check for the build-up of flakey soot / carbon which may also have an unpleasant acrid smell would be a clear sign that poor quality or damp fuel has been burned. These deposits could eventually ‘fur’ up the flue system, reduce the up-draught, or potentially cause a chimney fire. a fine covering of dry ash powder which can be easily rubbed away with your finger is perfectly normal.

CORRECT DIMENSIONS OF THE CHIMNEY / FLUE SYSTEMThe prerequisite for a proper functioning stove is the suitability of the chimney or flue system (minimum cross-section, effective stack height and positioning etc.) which should conform to all local and national Building regulations – Document J for England & Wales (Scotland and northern ireland have their own versions) and approved Document J: Heat Producing appliances for the republic of ireland.Chimneys with a cross-sectional internal diameter of more than 200 mm (8") and / or less than 5 m (15") stack height measured from the top of the fire box could cause draught problems. in our experience the simplest and most cost-effective way to reduce the cross-sectional diameter of an existing chimney is to fit an approved solid fuel flexible chimney liner of approximately 150 mm (6") diameter. Your installer or Dan SKan partner will be able to advise you on this as well as various methods to compensate for insufficient stack height and poor up-draught. a chimney or flue system which matches the flue outlet diameter of the stove combined with a flue height of more than 6 m (20") is advantageous and strongly recommended. The chimney or flue system internal pressure should ideally reach at least 11 or 12 Pa.

HEATING IN THE TRANSITION BETWEEN SUMMER AND WINTERin the autumn air temperatures can vary extremely quickly and this could adversely affect your flue draught and the performance of your

stove, making it difficult to light the fire and making it very slow to burn as normal. For example, a sudden rise in temperature will disturb the pressure balance that normally makes the flue work so that the flue gases find it difficult to rise. Strong winds can have a similar effect and is most noticeable when opening the stove door to add fuel. if in doubt always try the safety match test discussed above. Using this method you can easily see whether you have sufficient up-draught or if there is likely to be a down-draught problem.in such instances we always recommend lighting with the ‘top fire’ method described on the inside back cover of this brochure and with a larger than normal ‘pre-fire’ to help get the draught moving in the right direction. it is important that before you light the larger pre-fire you open a window or door (in the opposite direction of the wind) so that a lower pressure can be quickly achieved in the room where the stove is located than that in the flue system. Once your fire begins to burn normally then the door or window should be closed.

MAINTAINING A CLEAN BURNTo maintain a high performing clean burning stove you must ensure that the flue gases always move through the chimney or flue system as quickly as possible limiting anything which might slow them down and therefore cool the gas and smoke to the point where they can create creosote and soot deposits which will further enhance the slowing and cooling process. We recommend that the flueways are cleaned by an experienced chimney sweep at least once a year and preferably before the beginning of the heating season. The performance of the air wash system and its ability to maintain a clean glass, both up and down, will also depend on the speedy removal of the flue gases through a flue system which has a good up-draught. Smoke escaping from the stove into the room during reloading could indicate that you have a temporary problem with the weather conditions. Persistent smoke escape could indicate a problem with the flue system, possibly sooting up, and this should be investigated as a matter of urgency by the installer or chimney sweep. if you plan to use an existing chimney which has a much greater cross-sectional area than recommended by Dan SKan (see page 85) then it is probably advisable to choose a stove with double doors, where only one door needs to be opened for refuelling, thus limiting the disturbance to the fire chamber pressure and up-draught.

ENCOURAGING FLAMES a good chimney draught depends on good flames. Without heat producing flame the up-draught is limited and so too is the air wash performance. remember that poor burning woods (eg laburnum, leylandii etc) and damp or unseasoned wood with a moisture content of more than 18% will produce a lot of smoke and soot as well as a very poor flame. Slow burning hardwoods, such as Beech and Oak, work better when started with some highly flammable wood such as Spruce or Pine to encourage the flames. Beech wood contains a lot of tar and is better mixed to help redu-ce the sticky black spots it may leave on the glass, which even our superior air wash system will find difficult to clear.if the fire has burned down so that only a few embers are left, when any new fuel is added, always open the glass door slightly to encou-rage a strong up-draught which will perform like a blacksmith‘s bellows and quickly help the new logs to light. This should only take a minute or two and then the door should be closed to avoid dan-gerously over-firing the stove.

PROMOTING A GOOD UP-DRAUGHTalways start your fire with a good starting or pre-fire – this will save time in the long run (see the inside back cover for our ‘Top fire’ instructions).Only when the whole system, the stove and the chimney, have good basic heat throughout, can the correct conditions for an efficient up-draught and clean burning be achieved. Only a warm system can supply sufficient up-draught.When it is very cold outside then the bigger your pre-fire should be so that the rising hot gases from the pre-fire quickly warm the flue system to encourage a good up-draught – just like starting an engine! if your chimney or flue system performs poorly then you may be able to improve this by reducing the size of the baffle plate by trimming a little bit at a time from the front edge until you arrive at the best ‘setting’.The Skamol baffle plate can be easily cut using a manual saw or electric jig-saw. You can even try operating the stove without the baffle plate. This will be safe because your Dan SKan stove is manufactured to the highest standards so that the bodywork will easily withstand the heat and still remain perfectly stable.

HEATING WITH WOODTIPS FOR THE ENVIRONMENTALLY-CONSCIOUS STOVE OWNER AND HEATING EXPERTTHE ENVIRONMENTBurning wood in a modern clean-burning stove is as close to being environmentally friendly as it‘s possible to be. approximately 80 % of the pure wood is converted into gas and only the natural com-ponents of the original tree – water, carbon dioxide and minerals, are released into the atmosphere. When wood is correctly burned it only sets free the original CO² that the tree captured and converted while it was growing, making it essentially a ‘carbon neutral’ fuel, unlike fossil fuels which only add to the greenhouse effect. When you burn wood you are merely accelerating the decomposition process that would happen in nature anyway, but you get the joy of all that heat!

FINE DUST AND OTHER PARTICULATESBurning wood, wood pellets or similar in poorly designed or outmoded ‘unclean’ stoves and open fireplaces will unfortunately produce many harmful and unhealthy particulates. Since the new, more stringent air quality standards of BimSchV (germany) which covers fine particles emissions, all Dan SKan stoves are tested to ensure sustainable and thorough combustion in order to produce very low particulate emissions, thus minimising any potential danger to health.This ensures that your Dan SKan stove is as clean-burning as possible.

THE RIGHT FUELThe efficiency of your stove really does depend on choosing the correct wood fuel. Fresh (‘green’) or damp wood will not provide much heat, will not burn well and will produce excessive smoke and soot inside your stove and chimney or flue system. Dry wood will always burn well providing it has an average moisture content of less than 18 %. The drier the wood then the greater the calorific heat value.Softwoods are generally more flammable and therefore have the advantage of producing a good flame very quickly, which is necessary for pre-fires and helping slower burning hardwood logs to catch fire. a good bed of glowing embers is important to promote combustion during refills.The drier the wood, then the higher the proportion of lignin it con-tains and the higher the heating value it has when burned. Woods which are rich in tannin have a lower heating value and produce much more soot which will dirty your stove and flue system than wood which is easily flammable.Our favourite is Birch because of its excellent rich flames and its long burn time, making it ideal for burning in stoves.after drying in the summer wood can be very dry and therefore more susceptible to drawing in moisture from the damp autumn air so it is always good to bring wood indoors for final drying up to two to three weeks before finally burning.Finally, always try to source your wood locally to minimise the impact transporting it has on the environment.

HEAT OUTPUTThe efficiency of a good stove depends not only on the right fuel, but also on the correct design of the bodywork and the combusti-on air technology within it. To derive the heat output and efficiency of a stove the number of logs burning at the same time is considered. as a rule of thumb a good wood fuel log will transmit about 2 kW of heat to a room. For example a stove rated at 7/8 kW output with only 2 logs burning would therefore only produce around 4 kW of heat output.

COMBUSTION AIRThe supply of combustion air within the stove‘s fire chamber is critical for efficient and clean burning performance. For nearly four decades Dan SKan have been developing the best way to target combustion air around the fire chamber to produce beautifully effi-cient clean-burning flames. Here are the three different ways…

1. PriMarY air: Primary combustion air is mainly used for mineral fuel fires, for example coal. it is delivered from under the riddle grate and directed through the grate into the fuel.

2. SECOnDarY air: Secondary combustion air provides the main combustion air for wood fuel. in a Dan SKan stove the secondary air is pre-heated before entering the fire chamber to keep the fire chamber temperature as high as possible for effective and clean-burning performance.

3. TErTiarY air: This third type of combustion air is post-combustion air, which is automatically let into the fire cham-ber above the top of the flames by the patented Dan SKan i-air system discussed earlier and is the main reason for Dan SKan‘s exceptionally low fine particle values.

HEALTHY HEATINGWhen choosing your new convection stove bear in mind that a small stove body working very hard could overheat, whilst a stove with a bigger body will provide a gentler heat – a healthier and softer warmth. Your Dan SKan partner will be happy to advise you on best heat output of your new stove after consideration of your room and lifestyle.

HEAT STORAGESTOVES WITH HEAT STORAGE ELEMENTSIn recent years heat storage stoves have experienced a renais-sance, partly due to the rising costs of alternative forms of heating a home – but that‘s not the only reason. Modern houses are much better insulated and therefore need less heating energy to keep them warm. The captured heat which is gently released from a stove with ceramic or stone heat storage elements can be, for many people, sufficient to meet a lot of their heating needs as well as being a very pleasant form of heat.However, there is a misleading impression given today that the use of heat storage elements make a stove more efficient – which we‘re sad to say is not the case. While there is no doubt they do provide a practical heating solution, they do not increase the heat efficiency, merely delay the release of heat that would have been delivered anyway. Efficiency is determined by the energy yield from the fuel burned in the fire chamber – whether it‘s radiated, convected or released through a heat storage mass.

STEEL BODIED STOVESA typical convection stove with a steel body and without any heat storage elements will deliver direct heat quickly into the room. With the recommended full fuel load burning the stove will transmit the highest heat output but, as the fire burns down, then the heat transmission is also reduced because the stove does not have a heat sink only the thermal mass of its bodywork. During the stove‘s operation the heat output develops the following way:• Large fire = high heat output • Small fire = lower heat output The heat output curve during a normal operation period will the-refore have its ups and downs as fuel is reloaded. However, this curve can be significantly altered by heat storage.

HEAT STORAGE STOVESConvection stoves are normally not designed to include a space for a heat storage mass – there simply isn‘t the space inside the tradi-tional format, and until recently there just hasn‘t been the demand. The heat storage capacity of a stove, say with with stone or ceramic heat storage elements, is determined by the mass and specific weight of the heat storage material. The greater the mass then the greater the heat storage potential and the longer the heat will last.The big advantage of a stove with additional heat mass is that the stored heat ‘irons out’ the peaks and troughs associated with stoves without heat storage, discussed above. So when the fire is large the heat is transferred to the heat mass and when the fire is small, even with only the burning embers left, the saved heat is released into the room. Stoves with heat storage elements thus have a linear, consi-stent heat output, making them very comfortable to live with.

HEAT TRANSFERWith or without heat storage elements

HEAT STORAGE MATERIALSThermal mass is the ability of a material to absorb heat energy. A lot of heat energy is required to change the temperature of high density materials like Soapstone (traditionally used for heat sto-rage) and so these materials are described as having a high ther-mal mass. Conversely lightweight materials, such as timber, have a low thermal mass. Thermal mass acts like a thermal battery which stores and re-radiates heat. However, heat storage elements should also demonstrate good thermal conductivity by allowing heat to flow through them. For example Stone is a good conductor of heat but if conductivity of a material is too high (for example steel) then the energy which was quickly absorbed will also be given off too quickly to create the beneficial time delay essential for heat storage stoves.As the heat storage material absorbs the heat from the stove, especially at the peak of the burn cycle, energy waste is eliminated

and later, with the time-delayed heat release, all of the heat produced is delivered to the room. Ceramic, Sandstone and similar materials, with their lower thermal conductivity, need longer to get fully ‘charged’ with energy, but as can be seen from the table, they have the advantage that they release their energy slowly too and make an excellent and attractive alternative to traditional soap-stone heat sinks.

TECHNICAL INFORMATIONDifferent heat requirements can be fulfilled by choosing materials with different densities and thermal conductivities. The more dense a material is then the greater is its specific weight. The time based conductivity of the material is determined by the composition of the material. The higher the λ-value is then the better the conduc-tivity. So, fast thermal conductivity, for example high density steel, produces a shorter thermal wave. It is materials such as soapstone with longer thermal waves that show a greater time-delay.

HEAT RADIATIONCritical for healthy heating is heat which is equally distributed throughout the living space and not the intensely high heat which is radiated from a traditional stove. The intensity and the high thermal conductivity speed (high λ-value) is consequently not the best solution for effective and comfortable stored heat. Even if the convection channels of a stove were closed up you would not get a higher heat output either. Heat which would therefore not get to the room through the convection channels is only time delayed through the heat storage value of the heat storage material.

STORAGE CAPACITYAs a general rule one can say that the more mass and surface storage a stove body has, then the more heat can be absorbed and then released later and it is the thermal conductivity of the bodywork and heat sinks that determine the time delay of released heat. Be wary of unsubstantiated claims of 'post heating' periods of 15 hours or more which are probably misleading – simply com-pare the overall weight of the stoves and the materials used for the heat storage. Heat storage stoves can only release to the room the heat that was originally absorbed. The more mass and the longer this mass is heated then the longer the time span this heat can be released to the room. 30 to 40kg of heat storage mass would typi-cally require around 1 hour of pre-heating.

SPOILT FOR CHOICEDAN SKAN now offer you an attractive choice of highly efficient heat storage stoves with a number of alternative heat mass materials and finishes, not only designed to fit in with your interior decor but your lifestyle too. We can be happy that nowadays we live in better insulated houses, in which heating with wood is a realistic as well as comfortable choice, that will save money general heating costs. The good news is that heat storage has made the choice to heat with wood even more attractive.

STARTING TO USE YOUR NEW STOVETo get the best out of your new stove it must be 'run-in' like a car. The first five burns should be taken gently, starting with a small fuel load and then building to a full fire load, allowing the stove to get cold again between each firing. This is especially important if your stove has ceramic panels. These need to avoid thermal shocks as they build towards their function as heat exchangers.at the start you will not yet have a bed of heat-reflecting ash in your new stove, so on the first firing you can use some garden earth to cover the middle grate to help make it air-tight, otherwise the Dan SKan air wash system will not perform the way that it is meant to. Each time the stove is burned and it reaches a new higher temperature than before you may see light smoke coming from the stove and smell paint fumes. This is perfectly normal as the bodywork paintwork begins to cure. avoid touching any paintwork when it is hot, even when wearing a heat resistant glove, until it is fully cured. During 'running-in' you should ensure that your room is well ventilated by opening a door or window to the outside air.

ALWAYS LEAVE WOOD ASH IN THE GRATEa well cared for stove will bring you the greatest pleasure. However, this does not mean that the fire chamber has to be cleared of wood ash every time you light a new fire – on the contrary: wood fires burn much better on a bed of heat-reflecting ash. always leave a bed of old ash approximately 50mm (2") deep as this, along with the riddle grate in the closed position, will pro-vide the 'grateless' burning that wood fuel needs and also ensure that your stove's air wash system will be fully functional. The bed of wood ash will help protect the cast iron grate from over-heating and prolong its lifespan. never allow the ash pan to overfill so that the ash touches the base of the grate, as again, this could over-heat the grate.

AVOID THERMAL SHOCKOne of the practical features of many Dan SKanstove models is the ability to use them for coo-king and warming food. However, care should be taken to avoid placing cold saucepans and bowls etc directly on to any of the stove‘s hot surfaces, including ceramic and stone, as this could cause them to crack or break due to the sudden temperature change or localised and uneven build-up of temperature around the vessel footprint. always use a metal trivet or ‘coaster’ which will provide a small air space between it and the stove.Dan SKan trivets with metal feet, are available in the original stove bodywork colours of black (S) or grey (g).

Please also remember, that underneath Dan SKan stone baking trays and top plates fire rope should be placed to provide a small air gap which will also allow for expansion of these panels and help avoid potential cracks and breaks.

CLEANING THE GLASS Dirty windows and fire chamber walls are usually a consequence of a lack of combustion air (fire burning too low) or the use of damp or unseasoned wood and you should always try to investigate and remedy such problems. all Dan SKan stoves feature extremely tough ceramic glass which can be easily cleaned without using chemicals or proprietary clea-ners by gently rubbing the stained area with fine wire wool, (no. 2 or no. 3 grade only) which incidentally, is actually softer than the surface of our ceramic glass. at the end of the burn cycle your stove may occasionally leave some light soot on the glass and, provided the wood fuel used has been perfectly dry (with a moi-sture content of less than 18%) you should be able to rub this sooting off with a bit of ash and some newspaper or kitchen roll.

You should do this each time you start a new fire to ensure that your view of the wonderful flame patterns your Dan SKan produces remain undiminished. Healthy heating with a high percentage of radiant heat is possible with a Dan SKan stove by incorporating heat storage elements such as our optional ceramics or natural stones which will convert the intense heat of your steel stove to a soft, more pleasurable, radiant warmth.

HEALTHY HEATINGSome people find that very dry warm or hot air in their living room makes them feel uncomfortable. replacing some of the humidity in the room should help avoid this, as well as avoiding room tempe-ratures which are too high. a water-filed teapot or suitable humidifier placed on the stove surface (remember the trivet) will gently evaporate and raise the humidity level in the room as desired.

FRIENDLY TO ALLERGY SUFFERERSDan SKan stoves are very friendly for allergy suffers. Unlike most other stoves, on a Dan SKan stove the convecting back plate and side panels can be easily removed and the convection area thoroughly cleaned from dust, which would otherwise be moved around the room on the air currents.

PRECIOUS WOOD ASHOnce you‘ve extracted all that valuable heat from your wood fuel the ash that is left (and after burning a cubic metre there will only be around 2 to 4 kg of it) will still of be value in your garden.ash from wood makes a great fertiliser because of all the precious potassium, calcium, phosphate, manganese and iron that it contains and that plants need.

FLUE PIPESWhere the installation allows, your stove will work better with a vertical top fitting flue pipe that is a minimum 600 mm high to provide a good ‘run-up’ for the flue gases. This pipe will also deliver some additional radiant heat into the room before the hot gases depart from the heating process via the the chimney or flue system. an inspection hatch is also recommended in this section of the flue system. Dampers may only be retro-fitted to cure strong up-draught problems and must only be specified and fitted by a suitably qualified installer who will ensure that the installation complies with local and national building regulations. The photographs in the Dan SKan guide book are for illustrative purposes only and may not necessarily comply with your local and national building regulations.

CLEANING THE CERAMICSit is important that ceramic tops and panels are not cleaned when they are hot as the craquelure (the glaze crazing) will have expanded and matter which is intended to removed could be rubbed into the tiny gaps. Use a soft cloth and a mild household soap and avoid abrasive products.

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF NATURAL STONESnatural stones should only ever be cleaned with a moist cloth and with a hint of mild washing-up liquid. Soapy deposits can then be rinsed off with a clean moist cloth. acetone can be used for severe grease stains but always select a discrete test area and ensure that it dries out normally before proceeding, making sure that it does not come into contact with any of the painted surfaces.Soapstone has a lot of talcum in its composition and is therefore quite soft and liable to scratch. Small scratches can be disguised by using a graphite pencil and gently rubbing in to soften the colour. it may be possible to remove slightly deeper scratches by gently sanding these with some water and very fine surface wet and dry sandpaper. again try these on discrete test areas.

FLUES AND HEARTH PLATESDESIGNED SPECIALLY FOR YOUR DAN SKAN STOVEDan SKan produce a range of precision made flue pipe components, in black or grey to match your stove bodywork colour, which have been tested to the highest European standards for the safe operation of your stove and to ensure your safety. They have a simple elegance to match your Dan SKan stove that other flue pipe components simply do not possess.

CUTAWAY GLASS PLATES

Dan SKan precision cut soft edged glass base plates are both beautiful and practical and allow you to minimise the visual inter-ruption of the stove‘s hearth plate on a decorative floor. The tested temperature at the base of a Dan SKan stove is a maximum of only 50º C – less than the temperature of a central heating radiator, so that a Dan SKan stove could safely sit directly on a wooden floor. The real beauty of a Dan SKan cutaway glass hearth is that it can be easily lifted up so that the floor can be kept clean underneath. There‘s a cutaway hearth for most models in the Dan SKan Classic range and all of the new Modern line range. Each one will fit snuggly against the front of the stove like two pieces of a jigsaw coming together. Please note that all stove hearths are subject to local and national building regulations.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSAND INSTALLATION TIPS1. GENERAL INFORMATIONDan SKan stoves are designed to minimise visual disruption so that you get a complete view of the fire. From the very tips of the full flame pattern right down to the burning embers, our big windows are designed to maximise the pleasure you can get from seeing a beautiful heart-warming and welcoming fire as the focal point in your home. Dan SKan‘s technically advanced stoves have been develo-ped for nearly four decades with wood burning in mind, how-ever because of their superior construction and the quality of the materials used they are therefore equally at home burning other fuels including wood briquettes and pellets, brown coal briquettes and smokeless mineral fuels, if used carefully.Materials such as plastic, chipboards and plywoods, as well as other refuse materials, should not be burned in your stove because they could damage the stove, flue system and the environment and in many areas it is illegal to burn them because of the nuisance smoke they produce.

2. COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLYDan SKan stoves make it really easy for you to control the supply of combustion air, with the simple central pull control on the front of the ash tray. This supplies primary air through the ash tray and up through the fire grate to the fuel. The secondary combustion air is washed over the glass at both the top and bottom through vents around the door frame and the automatic bimetal control supplies the required amount of post-combustion tertiary air into the flue gases to create an efficient after-burn. Primary, Secondary and Tertiary air all regulated with one simple control.

3. OPERATING SAFELYalthough our stoves offer you ‘built-in’ automatic intelligence you must still ensure that the riddle grate is completely closed and that the ‘bowl’ of the riddle grate always has a good cove-ring layer of ash. The pull control should always be open. if excessive flue draught identified it can be controlled by including a draught stabiliser or ‘damper’ within the flue system but this should only be retro-fitted by an approved installer.

4. BURNING WOODgood wood combustion is only possible through a sufficient supply of combustion air and this is why on Dan SKan stoves the pull control flap should be open (pulled outwards) and the riddle grate closed (handle pushed in). additionally there should always be a minimum 50 mm (2") layer of ash on the fire chamber floor and in the riddle grate bowl to provide a heat-reflecting air seal which benefits the combustion of wood.

• Grateless burning = environmentally friendly!

Burning like this forces the fire to take its combustion air through the stove‘s air wash channels which in turn enhances the effectiveness of the glass cleaning process to ensure a clear view of the fire.

4a. THE STARTING FIRE (the pre-fire)The performance of the flue draught can often be affected by adverse weather conditions and in such cases it is advisable (and easier in the long run) to warm the flue and kick-start the up-draught with a quick paper or dry wood shavings fire to expel the column of cold air. if you are experiencing problems with your flue draught then try opening an external window or door in the room (in the opposite direction of the wind) at the beginning to help compensate for any unusual pressure differences which could be affecting the up-draught.Once you are sure that the chimney is drawing you can then build the starting fire with 3 to 5 logs and kindling paced on top of these logs – this is known as a ‘top fire’ start. To ensure a quick start you need to maximise the combustion air by fully opening the pull control and leaving the door slightly ajar until the wood is burning well. never leave the stove unattended while the door is open.if your stove is fitted with a direct or external air source then it as advisable to keep the door closed, even at the start.Once the fire gets stronger, so too will the up-draught enabling the automatic air system to be activated.

in MODErn linE stoves, because of the i-air system, it is not necessary to open the stove door to provide starting air. This is the same for ClaSSiC linE stoves which are fitted with the air-BOX. remember, that to successfully operate with external air the industry standard negative air pressure of 12 Pa is needed.

4b. THE HEATING FIREafter the starting fire has burned for about 60 minutes and is burning strongly you can then add more dry wood logs. The Skamol fire chamber linings should be soot-free which will indicate that the wood fuel is dry enough and that the appro-priate combustion temperature has been reached. if you had the door slightly opened for starting the fire, you can then close it. Having a good layer of burning embers ensures an efficient burn and the minimum use of wood logs to keep the fire bur-ning effectively. The pull control has to be open to ensure that the combustion air is then taken from the air wash system to help keep the glass clean.

• Pull-control fully open and riddle grate fully closed

With the full heating fire the Dan SKan automatic opens the combustion air supply completely to maximise pre-combustion air. now everything is working in harmony – the flue, the auto-matic system and the air wash – ensuring that your stove is controlled automatically to reach the highest efficiency and at the same time, with very clear glass!important: When refuelling or if the fire has burned down and there are no flames (re-start as in point 4a) again leave the stove door open slightly to create a ‘bellows’ effect. With ClaSSiC linE and MODErn linE stoves operated with an external air supply there is no need to leave the door ajar as the airBOX or i-air system will automatically supply the extra air that is needed.

INSTALLATION GUIDEit is the householder‘s legal responsibility to ensure that the stove is installed according to local, national and European Building regulations.

1. CONFORMANCE CERTIFICATE Your local authority Building Control department should be noti-fied prior to the installation. according to their procedures they will only issue a certificate of conformance when the work is completed satisfactorily and their fee has been paid. alternatively, in England and Wales a Hetas registered installer can be commissioned to install the stove and self-certify that the installation conforms to all relevant Building regulations. This certificate will be needed in the event of an insurance claim or when selling the house.

2. FLUE SYSTEMit is a fundamental requirement for a proper functioning stove that there is an adequate flue system or chimney – minimum cross section, effective stack height and sufficient up-draught.We strongly recommend that before installing your stove you seek professional advise, particularly as to the suitability of any existing chimney.

Dan SKan flue outlets are 150 mm diameter and therefore the flue pipe should also be 150 mm with the chimney diameter being no bigger than 180 mm and ideally 160 mm. an appropri-ate approved flexible liner is strongly recommended to reduce an existing over-sized chimney to help provide a consistent draw, minimise cold spots within the chimney and promote cleaner smoke-free burning. The minimum flue height should be 5000 mm from the top of the firebox, with 6000 mm being ideal. This stove should not be used in a shared flue.

3. STOVE PIPE CONNECTIONideally Dan SKan stoves should be connected from the top flue outlet because it aids the speedy flow of hot exhaust gases through the flue system. This quick-start vertical run can help improve the flue draught. However, most Dan SKan Stoves give you the option of top or rear flue outlet, please see page 88 (HT/HB).

4. SAFETY DISTANCESMinimum safe distances to walls, furniture and other flammable materials should be strictly adhered to. The double-skinned construction of the Dan SKan convection system casing acts like a radiation protection system. This means that while the stove delivers a very high heat output to the room, in practice the sides only get as hot as a traditional central heating radiator. This makes them safer, but also allows a considerable reduction of the safe minimum distance from the sides and back of the stove to combustible materials to just 200 mm. From the fire chamber windows (including any side windows) the minimum safe distance to combustible materials is 800 mm.non-flammable materials such as walls only require a minimum safe distance of 70 mm from the back of the stove, whilst from the sides this is 100 mm. We recommend that if you have any temperature sensitive material such as leather, wood furniture or fabrics etc then these should be kept a minimum safe distance of 1.5 metres measured perpendicular to the glass.Please note that where single skin vitreous enamel flue pipe is used its minimum distance to combustible materials should also be considered along with that of the stove and whichever distance is the greatest should be adopted.

5. FLOOR PROTECTIONYour stove must stand on a non-combustible hearth which complies with building regulations. Dan SKan recommend that this should extend to at least 500 mm from the front rim of the stove and at least 300 mm from the sides.

4c. RE-FUELLING AND AFTERWARDSit makes sense not to add more than 2 or 3 logs when re-fuelling because adding more fuel does not necessarily increase the efficiency or improve the performance of your stove. Strong fires using excessive kindling or fast burning softwoods should be avoided because of the potential to over-fire the stove and damage the components.When the fuel burns away and the flames begin to die down, so too does the automatic supply of combustion air. after burning wood it is normal that some charcoal remains and this a good indication of economical burning. This will also ensure extremely quick combusti-on when you re-light the stove.

5. FIRING WITH PELLETS OR BRIQUETTESDan SKan stoves can cope equally well when burning pellets, brown coal briquettes or mineral fuels. This is because of the Dan SKan two-layered riddling grate which only requires small changes to the way that you operate your stove when burning these fuels. in these instances the riddling grate should be set in the slightly open position (pulled outwards) to allow the air to be delivered underneath the fuel with the pull control also set in the open position. We also supply an optional Pellet and Coal Element (PCE) for

certain stove models* if it is intended to use this type of fuel for extended periods. This heavy duty cast iron bowl fits snuggly inside the fire chamber and sits on top of the two-layered grate to direct the air from underneath to the fuel and also protect the stove sides from the intense heat that some of these types of fuel produce. Please note: when not using the PCE only use modest fuel loads to avoid over-heating – say two or three briquettes set in the middle of the two-layered grate and on a bed of embers. To ensure that a passage of air is maintained when burning these fuels you must occasionally riddle the embers by using the external two-layered riddle grate.*available on larger ClaSSiC linE models. not available on the MODErn linE range. Please ask your Dan SKan partner for availability.

6. CONTINUOUS BURNINGWhen the two-layered riddle grate is in the closed position the stove can build up a good layer of embers to promote the effici-ent burning of wood. as the fuel is burned and the flames die down the Dan SKan automatic air system will adjust the supply of combustion air accordingly so that you do not need to monitor or regulate the stove either when burning down low or burning high.

EN TESTING CE CERTIFICATE AND SAFETY TESTSNATURE OF THE TESTall Dan SKan stoves including the new MODErn linE range have CE conformance certificates having successfully passed all the requirements of the European test En13240.The test results are significantly lower in all areas than the European limit values as well as the certification programme Din Plus and the Stage ii of the strict german BimSchV. Other tests included the austrian norm 15aB-Vg with the demands of the FgV from the Steirmark, the norm concerning safe-ty measurements for small burning sections (BMfWa), the demand of the BStV of the cities Munich and regensburg and others as well as the Swiss norm of the association of Canto-nal Fire insurance Companies.

PRIORITY RESULTS1. Particulate Matter The fine particle emissions in the flue gases at nominal heat output (En kW) are below 29 mg/Nm³ at 13 % O2

2. Carbon Monoxide The concentrations in the exhaust at nominal heat output are below Vol 0.10 % at 13 % O2

3. EfficiencyThe efficiencies are well above the limit values specified in standards being >80 %

TEST CONDITIONS AND RESULTSThe test conditions and results are based on a standard sized chimney with a delivery pressure of 12 Pascal (Pa).The combustion air was regulated in the same way as a stove owner would by using the intelligent automatic bimetal system and the wood logs used had a residual moisture content of less than 15 %. For Dan SKan owners this means that the highest performance can easily be achieved outside the test laboratory!

TOP FIRE WITH WOODFor the best results place your wood logs across each other in the fire chamber and ignite from the top of the stack = TOP FirE! gas and debris escape mainly from the cut ends of the logs so keep these away from the glass surface.a quick starting fire is very important in eliminating smoke and emissions and starting the flue draught cycle.Dan SKan stoves are started with the riddle grate closed and the pull control open. The starting fire is prepared by placing several logs side to side on top of each other and then placing a layer of kindling on top of these. Dan SKan stoves start with air (secondary and tertiary) deli-vered over the top of fire for clean and efficient combustion. after the first refuelling with logs (between 1 and 2 hours) the fire chamber and the flue system will now be hot enough to provide the correct negative pressure in the chimney stack for effective operation.

SAFETY AND CAREBe sure to keep an eye on the stove during the start-up phase especially if you leave the stove door ajar to provide extra initial combustion air. We recommend good proprietary fire lighters to start the fire – never use methylated spirit, petrol or other inflam-mable liquids. never leave matches on or near the stove.Do not leave it too late to refuel your stove. always add wood to the fire when there are still enough small flames in the chamber to help ignite them quickly. if you refill when there are only dying embers this will significant-ly slow the up-draught and the wood will also be slow to ignite. remember it is flames that produce an effective up-draught and also ensure unproblematic opening of the stove door to minimi-se fly-ash and smoke entering the room. Opening the stove door very slowly also helps avoid these problems. With the Dan SKan automatic system closing the air supply as the fire burns down you may be left with some charcoal embers – this is a clear sign of a very economical and effective air supp-ly. The charcoal embers will then provide a very good ‘foundati-on’ for the next firing.

AIR SUPPLY TO THE ROOMThere are strict legal requirements for maintaining a sufficient supply of air to the room to ensure the health and safety of the room‘s occupants. These will be laid out in local, national and European building regulations and should be adhered to at all costs.as stoves will take some or all of their combustion air from the room they are located in and the stove owner must ensure that there is a safe uninterrupted supply of air for both the stove and anyone using the room. With modern day energy saving measures and well sealed floors, doors and windows some rooms can be virtually air-tight. To offset this and to conform with regulations a dedicated non-closable air vent or external air supply direct to the stove may need installing and you should consult your approved stove installer to advise you.as a guideline the combustion air needed for a Dan SKan stove is:

< 4 kW burning = < 12 m³/hour< 6 kW burning = < 15 m³/hour< 8 kW burning = < 18 m³/hour

EX-AIR OPERATIONDan SKan stoves can be operated with an external or direct air supply to provide 100 % of the stove‘s combustion air requirements so that when burning they do not deplete the air in the room the stove is installed in.The conventional EX-air-1 system with its connection from the external air and the air in the room enables a pressure balance in the room the stove is installed in. The EX-air-2 system enables pre-heated combustion air because of the Dan SKan patented airBOX. With heat recovery systems (0kW houses or low-energy houses) the pressure in the room where the stove is to be installed should not be higher than 4 Pascal.

DIBt TESTINGMost of the MODErn linE stoves have passed a strict new test at the respected rFF-Test institute in germany for approval by the important german institute for Construction (Deutsches institut Fuer Bauchtechnik).This tests the ‘stove burning independently with external air’ and examines the CO-concentration (ppm) in the smoke and the leak rates (m³/h) with 10 Pa and after the stove has been subjected to thermal and mechanical stress. For example the stove’s door seal must pass certain ‘air tightness’ requirement after the door has been opened and closed a minimum of 6,000 times.

PERMITTED FUELSPermitted fuels include wood logs with a residual moisture content of no more than 18 % which should be cut into lengths between approximately 250 to 330 mm. The wood should be air-dryed.approved smokeless fuels and brown coal briquettes are also permitted. The combustion of household waste, especially plastic, is not permissible as it could damage the stove or flue components and invalidate your warranties.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONSThe burning of combustible materials releases energy which leads to intense heating of the external surfaces of the stove including the door handle. Care must be taken to avoid touching the stove without proper protection (for example heat resistant gloves or other protective aids). never leave children unattended in the room where your stove is being operated. Ensure that children are aware of the potential danger and make sure that they keep clear of the stove when it is in operation. Where children, the elderly or the infirm are present always use an approved safety fireguard to prevent accidental contact with the stove. an approved carbon monoxide detector should be fitted in the same room as the stove. it should be powered by a battery designed for the working life of the alarm. Please note this is now a requirement under UK Building regulations.

TECHNICAL DETAILSSYSTEMS AND FUNCTIONS OF DAN SKAN-STOVES

1. FIRE CHAMBERThe fire chamber is lined with free-standing highly heat-reflective Skamol plates (vermiculite). These snuggly fitting firebricks do not use fire cement so that they can easily be replaced without being a stove expert. The curved or angular fire chamber provides the best heat reflection to the fuel as it burns which adds to the stove‘s overall efficiency.

2. CERAMIC GLASS DOORSall Dan SKan stove doors are made from the extra strong materials to deliver the highest stability and torsion resistance possible. The big picture windows, and now our new models with panoramic side windows, featuring premium quality heat-resistant ceramic glass, give you a desirable uninterrupted view of the fire similar to an open fireplace.

3. AIR WASH SYSTEMall Dan SKan stoves feature a superior air wash system that sweeps the entire glass surface.air is not only flushed from the top but also from the base and both sides of the glass to keep the big window area astonishingly clear. a good up-draught is essential to ensure the best possible air wash function.

4. PULL CONTROLThe only control you need on a Dan SKan stove and which regulates the primary and secondary combustion air. On ClaSSiC linE stoves this is rectangular and and the MODErn linE stoves it is round, with both featu-ring the Dan SKan logo.

5. TWO-LAYERED RIDDLE GRATEOur innovative externally operated two-layered opening and closing riddle grate (product and name invention from Dan SKan) is easy to adjust for burning wood (closed position) and coal (open position).

6. OVEN SHELFThe position of the back shelf in the ClaSSiC stove range is designed to benefit from the heat from the flue gases to provide a good baking or cooking facility. Please note: always remove the heat-absorbing fitted stone or ceramic shelves before starting to cook.

7. SMOKE BAFFLE PATEThe easily removable baffle plate in all Dan SKan stoves is made of 25 mm thick Skamol, a highly heat-reflective and lightweight ceramic material.

8. INTELLIGENT AUTOMATICThe Dan SKan automatic bimetal control which regulates the post com-bustion air supply automatically gives you the highest operational safety and at the same time, the highest efficiency and lowest pollution.

9. BAKING OR WARMING COMPARTMENTMost ClaSSiC stoves feature a baking or warming compartment with some models offering an optional loosely fitted baking ‘tray’.

10. TOP OR REAR FITTED FLUE OPTIONMost Dan SKan stoves feature a variable flue connection to give you the option of top or rear fitting flue. if you must specify a rear fitting flue then please check your stove options carefully – HT for top and HB for rear.

11. DAMPERalthough a standard feature in Europe, in the UK and ireland a draught stabiliser or ‘damper’ should only be retro-fitted by a specialist if there is proven excessive up-draught which is limiting control of the stove.

12. EXTERNAL AIR CONNECTIONalso known as the direct air connection. a standard feature on all Dan SKan stoves with pre-cut easy-release back plate or base aperture for rear or discreet base entry – see page 81 for precise location.

13. ASH PAN LIDStored under the ash pan, every Dan SKan stove has an ash pan lid which can be used to prevent ash blowing away when emptying the pan.

ENVIRONMENTALPROTECTIONWITH DAN SKAN AUTOMATIC= intelligent combustion

all Dan SKan stoves are tested in appro-ved independent testing laboratories where they are scrutinised for function and safety. all test results are significantly better than the requirements of international limits and standards. For example, regarding fine par-ticles pollution (P/F), our results are more than 25% less than the minimum values required in the strict german BimschV, Stage ii tests. The achievable efficiency of all Dan SKan stoves – when used correctly – is between 80 and 90%.TYPES OF TESTTests passed include the European stan-dard CE test Din En 13240 certification programme, Din Plus and the strict air pollution criteria for german cities inclu-ding Munich and historic regensburg as well as the previously mentioned german BimschV, Stage ii. Others include tests for austrian and Swiss standards.EXTERNAL COMBUSTION AIRDan SKan stove are ready to be used with 100% external combustion air supply, if needed. The original EX-air-1 system, with connection from the external air and the air in the room, enables pressure equalisation in the room where the stove is installed. The EX-air-2 system enables pre-heated com-bustion air through the Dan SKan patented airBOX (see pages 72 and 73).CHIMNEY STACK REQUIREMENTSChimney systems with an inner diameter of 180 mm or more and less than 5 metres effective height could cause problems with the safe and efficient operation of your stove. larger diameters cool the flue gases and provide insufficient draught and could cause smoke to enter the room. Smaller diameters and stack heights of 6 metres and over are strongly recommended (see page 85).

INTELLIGENT SELF CONTROLDan SKan stoves have an extraordinary efficiency and very economical burning because of the ‘intelligent self-control’ of the Dan SKan automatic. Stove dealers throughout Europe confirm that Dan SKan stoves require clearly less fuel to provide a very good heat output compared to other stoves. a prerequisite for effective and economical combustion is, of course, that you burn your stove as we recommend with our Top Fire method as well as our other operating instructions. The most important thing is that the combustion is always undertaken with a fully closed riddle grate with an ash layer of approxi-mately 50 mm thick in the fire chamber bed and that only the secondary and tertiary air is used from above the fire.

TOP FIRE AS THE STANDARD FIREThe riddle grate should be closed (pushed in) and the pull control open (pulled outwards).Before re-lighting the fire, push some of the ashes at the very front of the bed towards the middle and back so that they cover the riddle grate. Ensure that you still leave some ash covering the front but that the riddle grate is covered by a depth of approximately 50mm to form a good air seal.Position four or five good sized logs, side to side on the bed with their sawn ends away from the glass. The largest of the logs should be set towards the front of the fire chamber.The usual kindling wood for lighting the fire is then placed on top of this wood pile – not under! The fire is then lit from above = TOP FirE!it may be necessary to leave the stove door ajar slightly to maximise the combustion air for a quicker start. Do not leave the stove unattended when the door is ajar.The fire will then burn from the top downwards and build a good layer of embers for further combustion. The starting fire phase with the slightly open door will take approximately 30 minutes. When the fire is burning well and the fire chamber walls are soot-free the stove is operating at the appropriate temperature and the door can then be closed. The starting fire can then burn for another 1 or 2 hours depending on the original fuel load.When the fire has burned down and turned into a ‘flat fire’, but still with good flames, you can then reload with two hardwood logs, such as beech or oak placing these side to side, re-loading every 30 to 50 minutes or so. Be careful only to use dry wood as it will always burn with flames and not smoke. Only flames create real heating power and keep the up-draught in the flue system working. When you reload ensure that this is done when there are still some flames arising from the embers – leaving the reloading until there are no flames could be problematic and make it difficult to re-start the up-draught needed for efficient combustion.The self opening and closing Dan SKan automatic system will sustain effective combustion throughout the fire cycle so that all of the flue gases are burned and none escape unused through the flue system to provide you with the highest possible efficiency.

TOP FIRE AS STANDARD FIRE

Pictures 1 and 2: ash in front of the fire chamber bed is pushed towards the back and over the riddle grate with a scraper, leaving some covering of ash at the front of the bed. The ash should form a bed of at least 50mm deep to create a good air seal over the riddle grate which should be closed

Pictures 3 and 4: Three to five logs of easily combustible wood are laid side to side in the fire chamber with the largest logs to the front. The usual kindling wood for lighting the fire is then placed on top of this wood pile – not under!

Picture 5: The fire is then lit from above = TOP FirE!

Picture 6A: The door of the stove should be opened slightly to get more starting air and to create a bellows effect. The pull control is opened for the whole of the combustion.

Picture 7A: The fire burns from the top downwards and will build a good layer of embers for further combustion.

Picture 8A: When the fire is burning well and the fire chamber walls are soot-free the stove door can then be closed. at this stage hard-wood logs such as beech or oak can be loaded, again laid side to side.

TOP FIRE AS AN AIRBOX-FIRE WITH EXTERNAL AIR

Pictures 1 to 5: information as previously for the starting fire.

Pictures 6B to 8B: Combustion using 100% external air is always undertaken with the stove door closed and with the ClaSSiC line range the pull control is also closed.
