  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 chimney's installation and usage 
instructions. 

 
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 Helo and Kastor stoves. Helo Oy does not accept liability for the quality of other 
manufacturers’ factory-built chimneys. 

2.7. The stove door and changing the opening direction Saga and JK 

 
The opening direction of KSIL doors cannot be changed. 
 
The opening direction is changed by turning the door upside down. 
 
The opening direction is changed by turning the door upside down.  

  Open the door and push the hinge pin out of the lower hole. 

  Pull  the  pin  downwards  out  of  the  upper  hole  to  release  the  door.  Remember  the 

washers. 

  Turn the door into the desired position. 

  Slip the hinge pin first into the sleeve's upper hole and the washers on top of the sleeve 

onto the pin. (The risers on the pin must be at the lower end.) 

  Slip the door's upper hole onto the hinge pin above the sleeve. 

  Finally, guide the hinge pin into the lower holes of the sleeve and the door. 

2.9. General directions to prevent damage 

When you bring the stove into the sauna, before you add the stones, burn a full load of wood in a 
well ventilated sauna to burn off the last protective substances and harden the coating. 
 
Please read and follow the instructions below: 

  Remember to leave free air space to aid the burning process. 

  Do not heat immediately at full blast, if it is cold. The brick chimney might suffer damage. 

  Do not throw water directly at the glass door. 

  The stove’s operating life shortens, if it is constantly heated to a red glow. 

  The stove’s working life will be shortened significantly, if it is subjected to salt water. Note 

that in close proximity to the sea even well water may contain salt. 

  Factors influencing the stove’s useful life are, among other things, how well its size is suited to the 

sauna, the fuel used, how often it is used, failure to follow these instructions and general 
carefulness. 

  Kastor stoves have been very carefully designed and tested. On the basis of our studies, we at 

Helo Oy know that if the stove suffers damage in a very short time (e.g. the walls split or burn 
through, the top burns through etc.), the stove has not been used according to instructions. Helo 
Oy does not take responsibility for damage through failure to follow the user’s manual. 

3. Using the stove 

3.1. Fuel 

Use only untreated wood in Kastor stoves, preferably sturdy split logs of various woods, such as birch or 
alder. The logs should at most be 35 cm long. Wet or foul wood does not heat very well. 

 
It is not permitted to burn treated wood, wood with nails, plywood, plastic, plastic coated 
cardboard or paper in this stove. Fluid fuels may not be used even while starting the fire, since it
