Instructions for Installation, Use & Maintenance Our woodburning sauna stoves are registered by the Rescue Department of the Ministry of Interior of Finland, and they meet the Finnish fire safety requirements. Clearance Distances Woodburning sauna stoves are regarded as fireplaces having scorching surfaces. In our stoves, the surface temperature will not exceed 350°C, and the following safety distances should be observed when using them.
Protecting the Ceiling Provided the distance between the stove top and the ceiling is minimum 1200mm, no special protection is needed for the ceiling. If the distance is less than 1200mm (47¼"), you can choose one of the protection methods mentioned in items 1-3. The ceiling protection must extend above the vertical surfaces of the stove. Fireplace Base The fireplace must be installed on a rigid base. This base must be strong enough to bear the weight of the fireplace and to prevent any excessive rise of temperature of the structural elements connected to it. When installing the stove on a wooden floor, it is advisable to use a minimum 50mm (2") thick concrete slab or a minimum 7mm (¼") thick fiber-reinforced cement plate covered by a metal plate. Protecting the Floor in Front of the Stove The safety distances listed in items 1-5 cannot be applied to a combustible floor area in front of the stove. This area should be protected using a metal plate connected to the floor and closely fitting the stove. The floor protection in front of the stove must extend at least to 100mm (4") beyond both sides of the oven mouth and to 400mm (15¾") in front of it. Installing the Stove As in all our stoves, there is an escape hole for the smoke flue on top of the stove as well as behind it. You can close the unnecessary hole using the closing trap supplied. Included with the delivery, you will alos receive a 200mm (7¾") connecting pipe for connecting the stove to the smoke flue through the back hole. When connecting the stove to the smoke flue through the hole on top of the stove, we recommend you use our connecting pipes which are available as accessories. When doing this, do not forget to close the smoke hole behind the stove using the closing trap supplied. Do not install the connecting pipe too deep into the smoke flue, because this would block the draught. The gap between the smoke flue and the connecting pipe must be filled using mineral wool. When installing the stove, make sure the stove stands firmly on its base and the proper safety distances mentioned in these instructions have been observed. Preheating In the factory, the interior parts of the stove have been coated with protective agents to prevent corrosion during storage. Before starting to use the stove and placing rocks on the stove, you should preheat the stove in order to remove these protective agents. It is enough to burn 1-2 ovenfulls of wood for preheating. During preheating, sufficient ventilation should be arranged in the washroom to dissipate the smoke gases produced by the protective agents. Stove Rocks Before placing the rocks onto the stove, carefully wash them with clean water. Do not use any detergents. Place the rocks on top of each other so that they are level with the edge of the rock well. Be careful not to place the rocks too close to each other to allow air circulation between the rocks. Place the largest rocks at the bottom of the rock well. Heating up the Stove Only wood can be used for heating up the stove. Before heating, the stove grate should always be cleaned and the ash pan emptied. Avoid heating the stove so that the passage in the rock well remains red heated for a long time, because this would overload the firebox and shorten the lifetime of the stove. After your saunabath, you can leave a small fire in the stove to dry up the water fixtures. Stove Maintenance The stove must be swept through the soot hatches at least once a year in order to maintain optimal draught. At the same time, it is also useful to check the condition of the stove rocks and to replace the decayed ones with new ones.
