Manufacturer specified performance targets Designer / Manufacturer specified targets

Manufacturers specify multiple fuel usage, low consuming fan, savings up to 50% of fuelwood, reduction by 60% of smoke emmissions, easy to light, faster cooking than normal stoves and less ash production as their performance targets.

Safety Potential hazards / risks related to operation of this product

The safety concerns associated with the usage of wood-burning cookstoves are primarily related with carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide emissions.

Another significant safety concern is domestic accidents such as accidental burning or spill-overs.

Complementary technical systems Performance of this product is improved with another technology (eg. Cookstoves and Wind-blocking skirts)

Due to the fact that the SCODE SP-FL requires a low power fan to assist with the combustion, an external power source is required. A solar panel or any other source of electricity can be installed to power the fan.
