2.4.)

2. Installation and preparation for use

•
Place the stove outdoors on a non-flammable surface
o
without stones
o
tank, if any, filled with water
•
Remove any decals and protective plastic sheeting.
•
Check that the grate and air guide plate (see chapter 2.8.) are in place.
•
Install the connection pipe delivered with the package into the backmost flue opening on
top of the sauna stove or the hole in the back wall. In JK models it goes into the hole
nearest the wall on top of the stove.
•
The caps delivered with the stove are required to close the other holes. The hole in the
back wall must also be capped.
•
Burn-in: The purpose of the burn-in is to remove out of doors any flammable protective
coating substances and to harden the stove’s coating. Burn a few full loads of wood in the
fire compartment. Continue the burn-in until there are no more fumes rising from the
stove.
•
Once the stove has cooled down after the burn-in, move it into the sauna.
•
See to it that the sauna is well ventilated during the first couple of heating.
