INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: Original Breezy hot tubs

Use any lighter fluid according to the instructions. Do not use any other fuels for lighting. We
recommend lighting pieces, e.g. Burner paraffin bags.
Cold water and warm air (temperature difference/air humidity) often cause condensed water in the
ash collector. Therefore, the stove is not leaking although there is some water in the furnace. You
can suspect a leakage only if the water level is going down.
During heating, the tub should be covered in order to limit heat evaporation as much as possible.
The water temperature should be measured every 20 minutes during heating. Because water
stratifies into layers when it warms up, it should be mixed with a Kirami paddle, for example. When
the temperature reaches approx. 32°C, it is advisable to reduce the amount of firewood added so as
to avoid overheating the tub. When the desired temperature has been reached, you may keep a
small fire under the tub where necessary to sustain the temperature. Practice makes perfect in this
as in anything else.
It is advisable to open the cover about 5 minutes before getting in the bath to allow the water to
settle. For reasons of safety and heat evaporation, the cover should be closed as soon as possible
after taking a bath, especially if you intend to use the tub the next day.
MAINTENANCE AND SAFETY OF THE TUB
Surface treatment
Stained spruce
Stained spruce panels will maintain their colour quite well, but they can be re-treated if necessary.
Water-based wood oil Teknoshield 4015 was used at the factory. Two tones are available, the
common brown (Dark Wallnut, TM-1704), and one that is not used so commonly
Kirami CoalBlack
(Ebenholz,
TM-1708
). The surface can be treated with similar oil when necessary. Woodex Aqua
suits for treatment in Finland. On top of Teknoshield 4015 you can use different kinds of wood oils
and transparent paints (solvent and water based).
Thermowood
A tub lined with thermally modified wood is beautifully brown. If you want to keep the brown tone,
the tub shall be oiled from the outside at least once a year with an UV-protected impregnant.
Water-based wood oil Teknoshield 4015 has been used at the factory. The re-treatment should be
made with similar oil and with selected brown tones. Teknos Woodex Aqua suits for treatment in
Finland. On top of Teknoshield 4015 you can use different kinds of wood oils and transparent
paints (solvent and water based).
ProfiLine composite and EcoPlank
Composite paneling and recycled plastic endure wear and humidity well and repel stains. Splinters
do not come from the surface as easily, either. The materials endure UV-radiation well and will not
"grey" easily. Both materials are easy to maintain and do not require any re-treatment, they only
need to be washed when necessary. Due to the recycled material used in these panels they may
have some colour variations and unevenness in the surfaces.
