Piling of the stones
Wash the stones before piling. Check the safety distances are correct and the heater is attached on the back strip.
Check the maximum amount of stones for the heater model you are using from page 9. The heating elements
must be well covered. Piles stones so thy cover the elements with at least 5 centimetres on all sides, that the
elements are not in contact with one another or the mesh frame. In normal use, olivine, olivine-dolerite and
peridotite stones are recommended, in sizes smaller than 10 cm in diameter. The stones should not be placed too
tightly together allowing for free airflow between the stones. In communally or publicly used saunas we
recommend the use of ceramic Kerkes stones around the heating elements (www.kerkes.fi). Kerkes stones
support and help preserve the resistors and they do not disintegrate prematurely due to high temperature
changes. Note that the use of soapstone and natural stones is allowed only on the outer edges and on the top of
the heater.
During use, pay attention that the surface level of the stones drops. Check twice or thrice a year that the heating
elements have not become exposed, add stones if necessary. Replace used stones periodically, as often as
necessary. Check once a year the condition of the stones, and replace if needed.
