ATTENTION! Stones of unknown origin can contain, numerously, harmful sulfides and radionuclides,
which make its useless and even dangerous for using in a sauna.
n
Walls (or partition) of inflammable materials have to be protected with plaster with thickness 25 mm on
an expanded metal or a metal plate on an asbestos paper with thickness 10 mm, from a floor to a level of
250 mm above the top of the stove.
n
A wall (or partition), through which fuel canal pass, shall be from nonflammable materials from a floor to
a level of 250 mm above the top of the stove. Recommended thickness of a wall is 125 mm.
n
A floor under the stove has to be protected by a foundation from brick at least two coating or other
nonflammable material at a distance of 380 mm from a wall of the stove.
n
A floor of inflammable and combustible with difficulty materials in front of a door of a combustor has to
be protected with a metal plate with size 700?
500 mm with length its side along the stove.
n
Make a fireproof partition in a passage of a flue through a ceiling.
n
At the time of installation of a flue in premises with a roof of inflammable materials a flu
e has to be
protected with a spark arrester of gauze with an opening with size no more 5
?
5 mm, also have to block
with nonflammable roofing materials a space around a chimney.
ATTENTION! A place of installation the stove and chimney will be done in accordance with SNIP (ÑÍèÏ)
(construction norms and rules) 41-01-2003 or, in accordance with technical standards of a country,
where the stove would be exploited.
ATTENTION! It is necessary to provide constant inflow of fresh air into the room where the stove is
operating. The breach of the condition may lead to unstable operation of the stove and appearance of
dangerous situations such as poisoning with carbon monoxide, fire breaking-out.
ATTENTION! All the stove assembly and stones setting into the stones section works shall be carried out
only after total cooling off of the stove.
ATTENTION! The stove is heavy. Make sure that you have the possibilities and equipment for its moving.
Stones shall be rinsed by scrub brush in flowing water before load.
Don't put stones higher than a top level of the stove, because stones will not heat-up to temperature needed
for quality steam formation.
ü
Attention! Exclude the possibility of excessive water supply to the non-burning hot stones. In this case the
intensive stones section walls oxidation process will take place due to the direct contact of water and metal. This
reduces the service time of the stones section and as the result of its burning-through.
ü
Attention! Hot steam exhaust from the stones section takes place when water is supplied to the non-burning
hot stones. Supply water carefully.
During the long use of the stove it is necessary to carry out the shift of stones not less than once per year. At
the same time the pebble gravel should be removed and destroyed stones should be replaced with the new ones.
Protect from fire constructions of premises:
It is recommended to organize a balanced system of ventilation for provision of good air change (see figure 7).
A hole for fresh air intake (9) with a section about 100 square centimeters is made in a floor as closely as
possible to the stove or under the stove.
A hole for used air exhaust (6) is made in a wall just below of a level of a ceiling as far as possible from the
stove. For more moist and cold air exhaust, a vertical box (8) is installed to a top hole. A vertical box possesses a vent
hole at a distance not more than 50 cm from a floor.
It is recommended to install adjustable latches (7) in air inlet and exhaust outlet for possibility to control air
exchange.
