.
Changing the door's glass pane
The pane cannot be changed while the door is in place.
•
Remove the door's hinges (4 screws).
•
Remove the bolts at the door's edges. The opposing nuts are on the inside beneath the
panel. Remove the seals with their paneling and the glass strips beneath them.
•
Carefully remove any glass splinters. Throw away the seals, if they are in bad shape.
•
Tape new sealing strips to the frame edges in place of the old ones.
•
Place the glass pane in its frame and centre it.
•
Set the glass strips into place and the sealing strips on top of them. Push the bolts into
their holes. Place the opposing nuts. Tighten lightly.
•
Tighten the nuts completely.
•
Check that the door works properly and that it does not leak.
An incorrectly installed glass pane can weaken the burning process and damage both stove and
glass.
5. Troubleshooting
If the stove or the sauna fails to work as you think they should, go through the following check
list.
First, to make sure you have chosen the correct stove for your sauna’s requirements, look
through the stove choosing instructions on our internet pages at www.kastor.fi -> “wood burning”
-> “select your stove”.
Smoke leaks into the sauna, bad draught.
Is the chimney valve open?
Is the connecting pipe attached tightly both to the stove and the chimney?
There mustn't be any air leaks.
Is the connecting pipe installed the correct way around? (The short end should be in the stove.)
Is the sweeping hole properly covered?
Is the flame plate in the upper part of the stove clean of ash?
Is the connecting pipe between stove and chimney clear of ash?
Is the chimney fully open?
In need of sweeping, stuffed with snow, winter cap on etc.
Is the chimney intact?
Cracks, weathered
Is the draught height (chimney height) sufficient with regard to the environment?
Nearby trees, a steep hill etc. requires more than 3.5. metres as measured from the
chimney floor.
Is the chimney’s size correct?
At least a half brick wide or, depending on stove model, a round chimney of 100 or 120 mm.
The stove stones do not heat up sufficiently.
Has the stove been fired sufficiently?
You should burn at least one compartment full of split, dry logs according to instructions.
Is there too much draught?
The flames reach into the connecting pipe, which is red hot, although the lower end of the
stove within the mantle is not red. See chapter 3.3. about draught adjustment and heat
output.
Is the draught too weak?
See chapter 3.3. about draught adjustment.
