•
Remove the ash door.

On the other side of the frame, remove the rivet from its hole in the upper part.
•
Install the stove from the sauna side and push it as far as possible through the wall, so
that the door extends about 40mm beyond the wall.
•
Insulate the gap between feed door and wall with fireproof mineral wool. Follow the
instructions of the mineral wool manufacturer!
•
Install the frame into place via the door (do not yet attach it to the wall).
•
Attach the door. Remember the base plates. At this point, you may choose the door's
opening direction.
•
Place the rivet in the upper part of the frame in the remaining hole.
•
Put the ash door into place.
•
Ensure that a gap of 5-10mm remains between extended door and the frame on top of it
to allow for heat expansion.

Connecting from the top
Make an opening into the brick chimney that is 2–3 cm larger than the connection pipe.
Use a 45° bent pipe for the connection from the top of the stove, which can be turned to align
with the chimney. Suitable 45° bent pipes are available at the hardware store. Extend the bent
pipe with an extension piece, if necessary. Install the stove’s own connection pipe in the door-
side flue opening on top of the stove (the other opening is the sweeping hole, which must not be
used for the pipe!). The bent pipe is then attached to the stove’s own connection pipe. Saw the
bent pipe and any extension pipe down to a suitable size where necessary. Make sure the pipe
extends sufficiently into the chimney (but not so far that it blocks up the chimney).
Seal the empty space between connection pipe and chimney with flexible, fireproof material such
as stone wool. The lead-through is then tidied up with a Kastor covering plate, which is available
at your hardware store. The covering plate is attached to the wall with metal bolts or fireproof
paste. See picture 2.5.2.
2.6. Connecting to a Kastor chimney
The Kastor stove can be connected from the top to a factory built Kastor chimney.
Make sure to choose the correct chimney type with regard to your stove model, chimney height,
temperature class T 600, exterior circumstances etc. For best results we recommend that you
install a chimney valve, as well. Picture 2.6.
•
Set the stove’s own connecting pipe into the stove’s door-side flue opening.
•
Install a no insulated connection pipe and any necessary extension piping on top of the
connecting pipe. Where necessary, saw the connection pipe and the extension pipe down
to suitable size.
•
The chimney valve goes between the insulated and no insulated sections or into the first
insulated pipe section.
•
Continue from the chimney valve with an insulated pipe. The insulated pipe section must
start at least 400 mm beneath the ceiling. Follow the installation and usage instructions
for Kastor chimneys.
Remember to keep all safety distances to flammable and non-flammable materials named above.
Helo Oy does not guarantee the suitability and functioning of other manufacturers’ factory-built
chimneys with Kastor stoves. Helo Oy does not accept liability for the quality of other
manufacturers’ factory-built chimneys. The chimney must fulfil the requirements of temperature
class T 600.
