13 / 25 INSTRUCTION MANUAL: Kirami FinVision sauna
The Narvi
®
wood-burning sauna heaters are delivered in a separate package (the heater
package can be found inside the sauna). The sauna heater attachments depend on the model. You
can find both instructions and materials in the sauna heater package. In front of a wood-burning
sauna heater, you should install a floor plate that reaches at least 100 mm to the sides of the heater
door and 400 mm in front of the heater. The edge of the sheet is folded up on the heater side to
prevent embers from getting under the base.
FIRE SAFETY
If the sauna is located close to buildings or integrated into the terrace, you must ensure that the
chimney is sufficiently removed from all flammable structures. You should remember to check the
distance both in the vertical and horizontal direction to ensure there is no danger of ignition. Follow
the instructions provided with the sauna heater. In addition, we recommend that you check the fire
safety regulations of your residential area from the local fire or building authority. In Finland, the
distance from the neighbour’s border must be at least 4 m, unless the neighbour has given their
written consent to build the structure closer. The distance between the sauna and the nearby
buildings should be 8 m.
There must not be any flammable material in front of the sauna heater. There must be an area with
non-combustible material (fireproof sheet), such as a metal sheet, in front of a wood-burning sauna
heater as shown in the
image .
When the sauna heater is heated for the first time after winter, the heating should be done
carefully by only lighting a small fire to ensure that the firebox or flue of the sauna heater are not
damaged. We recommend keeping fire extinguishing equipment close to the sauna. Ashes should
be removed from the sauna heater regularly, preferably after each use. The fire grates last longer
and draught remains good when the sauna heater is well cared for. Do not forget to empty the
ashes into a non-combustible container and let them cool for approximately one day.
