ing through the ash drawer to cool the grate, thereby increasing its service life. If there is a
thermal glass door,
use soft cleaning waste with special agents for cleaning heat-resistant
glass of fireplaces and heaters in accordance with the application instructions.
Please, obey
fire safety rules!
2.9. Typical faults and troubleshooting methods
1) Fault:
Odors appear during the heater operation.
Possible cause:
•
There is leftover industrial oil on the heater surface, or/and the odor comes from heat-
resistant enamel.
•
When heating up, the heater can enhance the odors present in the air, even if their
source is not the sauna itself or the sauna heater. Such sources, for example, can be
surfaces treated with paint, oil, glue and other materials.
Troubleshooting methods:
•
Stoke the heater in accordance with paragraph 2.3.
•
Select appropriate materials for treatment of the surfaces in the sauna; use them in ac-
cordance with the application instructions.
2) Fault:
The sauna room is not heating up.
Possible cause:
•
The sauna room is too large for the heating capacity of the heater.
•
Thermal insulation of the room is not in compliance with the requirements.
•
Insufficient chimney draft.
•
Low quality or wet combustion material.
•
Blockage in the chimney or flue channels of the heater.
Troubleshooting methods:
•
Check that the heater capacity matches the size of the sauna (section 1).
•
Check the thermal insulation of the room (section 1).
•
Check combustion material for compliance (paragraph 2.4).
•
Perform maintenance (paragraph 2.8).
3) Fault:
The stones in the stone heater do not heat up.
Possible cause:
•
The sauna room is too small for the heating capacity of the heater. The room is heating
up faster than the stones.
•
Insufficient chimney draft.
•
Low quality or wet combustion material.
•
Blockage in the chimney or flue channels of the heater.
•
The stones are laid incorrectly.
Troubleshooting methods:
•
Check that the compliance of the heater capacity against the sauna size (section 1).
•
Check combustion material for compliance with the requirements (paragraph 2.4).
•
Perform maintenance (paragraph 2.8).
•
Inspect the stone heater for compliance with the requirements (paragraph 2.5). Re-
move stone chips and replace them with intact stones. Replace the stones with diam-
eters less than the ones specified in Table 1 with larger ones.
4) Fault:
The operating mode of the heater cannot be controlled during wind /heater firing/
low chimney draft during operation. Smoke partly escapes through the firebox door. Smoke
enters the sauna.
