•
Start by pushing the hinge pin into the upper hole in the frame, and insert the washer to the pin on top of the frame (the
part of the pin with notches should face down).
•
Insert the upper hole of the door to the hinge pin above the frame.
•
Finally, guide the hinge pin into the lower holes in the frame and the door.
6. Grate
There is a grate in the heater's stove. Place it on the brackets on the bottom of the stove. Keep the grate clean and empty it
before the next heating to allow air to flow through the grate into the furnace.
7. General advice on preventing damage
When you bring the heater into the sauna room, burn another full batch of wood before placing the stones and make sure
that there's plenty of ventilation. This way any residual protective agents will burn off and the finish is properly cured.
Read the instructions below and make sure to follow them:
•
Wood quantities can be found in table 2.
•
In cold conditions, avoid heating at full power. The brick chimney may crack.
•
Avoid throwing water straight onto the glass door.
•
Do not heat the sauna heater so that the cover is red-hot.
•
Exposure to saltwater will shorten the heater's life cycle significantly. Please note that even water from a well can
contain salt in the vicinity of sea.
•
The warranty is void if saltwater is used in the heater.
•
Other factors contributing to the heater life-cycle are correct size for the space, the fuel used, the number of heating
cycles, failure to follow instructions when using the heater, and general diligence.
•
Kastor heaters are carefully designed and tested. If a heater becomes damaged in use in an unreasonably short time
(e.g. the covers or top part are torn or burned through etc.), it can be fairly said on the basis of research data that the
heater has not been used as instructed. TylöHelo Oy will not be liable for damage resulting from misuse or use against
instructions.
8. Using the heater
8.1. Fuels
Only natural wood can be used as fuel in heaters, preferably chopped birch or alder (refer to Table 2 for batch sizes). The
length of firewood is approximately 33 cm. Dampness 12
–20%. NOTE! Damp or decayed wood does not provide heat
very well and emissions are higher.
The amounts of wood mentioned in Table 2 correspond to the values of a nominal output test in compliance with EN-
15821, where the volume of the sauna room is the maximum volume. When heating the sauna for the first few cycles, use
smaller amounts of wood than listed in the table to find the ideal batch size for your sauna.
Do not exceed the amounts of wood mentioned in the table
The following materials are not allowed in the heater furnace: impregnated wood, wood containing nails, chip board, plastic,
plastic coated board or paper.
Liquid fuels are not allowed, not even when starting the fire because of the risk of a flash fire. Do not burn large amounts of
small pieces of wood, such as chips or small pieces because of their high temporary heating effect.
Firewood must not be stored immediately next to the heater. Pay attention to the heater's safety distances.
8.2. Adjusting the air flow
The heater has been designed to perform best when the negative pressure of the flue is approximately
–12 Pa. If the
chimney is long, this optimal negative pressure limit may be exceeded. Adjust the draft and combustion air flow using a
damper so that it is suitable. Be careful of carbon monoxide. The damper must not be closed too far!
When lighting the fire, the door may be kept slightly open for a moment. The ash pan must be closed and it may not be
opened during burning.
Combustion air comes from another source. The ash pan has a catch to prevent opening, when there's fire.
8.3. Adjusting heating efficiency
The amount of wood when stoking determines the heating efficiency. For the correct amounts of wood that ensure that the
wood burns in line with the CE marking, refer to Table 2.
The heating efficiency depends on the quality and the amount of fuel.
8.4. Lighting
•
Place the first batch of wood loosely in the furnace. Table 2
•
Add kindlings between the logs and light them.
•
You can keep the fire door ajar for a moment while the logs start to burn.
8.5. Stoking the furnace
Add another batch of wood when the fire has nearly burned down to embers. Table 2
Add the wood lengthwise, i.e. parallel to the grate opening. Close the fire door.
The sauna room is normally ready for bathing in 50 to 60 minutes.
