USE
Clean the tank thoroughly before first use. Always fill the tank with water before heating. During sauna
sessions, whenever you use water, replace it immediately, so that the tank remains as full as possible for as
long as there is fire in the stove.
If the water starts boiling, stop it by water replacement.
If necessary, this can be avoided by installing a 3 mm thick insulation sheet (metal
sheet) of suitable size (for example, approx. 30 x 20 cm) between the water tank
and the sauna stove; push the sheet to its place from below (see Figure 2).
If there is danger that the water in the tank could freeze in winter, empty the tank
to avoid needless deformations.
Deformations caused through heating of empty tank or water freezing inside the
tank will immediately interfere with heating of the water in the tank, since the
contact surface with the fire chamber will decrease.
WARNING! The tap may become hot when the tank is heated. If necessary, wear a protective glove or use a
tool to operate the tap.
WARNING! The tank cover knob may become hot when the tank is heated. If necessary, wear a protective
glove or use a tool to handle the cover.
WARNING! Be especially careful when discharging hot water from the tank.
SAFETY DISTANCES
Safety distance to combustible material is measured from the outer mantle’ s outer edge. The table below
specifies the safety distance measured from the outer mantle on the lateral water tank side to combustible
material.
In case of walls made of non-combustible materials, a 5 cm air gap is sufficient.
The floor under the stove and water tank must be of non-combustible material (min. 6 cm thick concrete slab)
or protected by compatible bottom plinth. Non-combustible floor must extend at least 50 mm over the outer
edge adjacent the water tank.
Note! If the sauna stove is installed onto floor with water insulation, a bottom plinth must also be used.
Sauna stove + lateral water tank Safety distance on the tank side Suitable bottom plinth
11108 + 17100 150 mm 19807
11208 + 17200 250 mm 19807
11308 + 17300 250 mm 19807
MAINTENANCE
The tank unit is made of stainless steel (EN 1.4301). It can be cleaned using a dish detergent, for example. The
tank must be rinsed thoroughly after washing. External surfaces may be cleaned by wiping with a soft cloth;
use a detergent, if necessary. The cleaning must take place while the stove and tank are cold. Dry the surfaces
after washing.
If rust spots should appear on the tank, remove them using wet sandpaper. The rust spots may be caused by
impurities in water. If there is the risk of water freezing, empty the water tank.
If water flow from the tap is reduced, check that the tap is not blocked by impurities or the like.
If the tap stem springs a leak, start by checking whether the gaskets are placed correctly. There should be a
gasket between the tap and outer casing and between outer casing and tank. There should not be a gasket
inside the tank
– only a nut. If the gaskets are installed in the right order and the tap is in the proper bottom
position, tighten the tap fastening nut.
