
Be careful! Handles, fire door glass and the surface of the heater, as well as recirculated
air may be hot!

Do not let children light fire or stay near burning fire unless supervised by adults.

Follow the instructions when heating and installing the heater.

The heater can only be heated using unprocessed firewood.

Structural changes must not be made to the heater.

Only use original equipment and parts approved by the manufacturer.

The sauna stove type is not standardized, therefore the CE marking is not possible.
2. Installation and preparation for use
The sauna stove is delivered as assembled. Take the sauna stove on the pallet to the sauna room
and remove the pallet when installing.
Once the sauna stove is installed and the stones are laid, the sauna stove is ready for use.
2.1. Stove base
The stove must be installed horizontally, on a stable and unmoveable non-flammable or
fireproofed base. For this, you may either use Kastor’s separately sold protective stove
base. The stove must not be installed without fireproofed base of the flammable floor.
The stove can be installed directly on the concrete floor, where the concrete slab has a
thickness of least 60mm. Make sure that the stove less than whish to join the casting no
electrical cabels or water pipes.
Fireproofing of the floor on flammable material:
400 mm in front of the stove
On the heater sides 50mm
At the heater back 50mm
(Or, at the sides and back up to a fireproofed wall
.
2.1.2. Installation on tiled and waterproof floor
We do not recommend installing the stove directly a tiled floor, as its moisture sealing, the glute
ect. may contain components that are not heat resistant.
The Kastor protective stove base is sufficient, a separate fronting plate is not necessary.
2.2. Safety distances and protections
2.2.1. Safety distances
For stone walls, the safety distances are 50 mm from the stove’s outer surfaces, preferably
100 mm to achieve sufficient air circulation. ( 2.3 2.4)
The safety distance to any flammable materials is 250mm from the stove’s outer surfaces. In
front of the stove, due to heat radiation and the working and maintenance space needed,
1,000 mm is a reasonable distance, but 500 mm is sufficient to ensure safety, if the panel
in front of it does not heat up beyond 85
o
C during the burn-in.
Safety distance upwards is 1100 mm, (Table 1), measured from the top of the stove. Height of
the sauna room 2300 mm. A protective plate with a 30 mm air slot must be placed on the ceiling
if the height measurements are not sufficient.
If the smoke flue has a non-insulated joining pipe or curved pipe above the stove, the safety
distance is 400 mm on sides and 400 mm upwards as measured from the horizontal
surface.
