5. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
The heating time is approximately one hour, depending on the size of
the room and stove. The proper bathing temperature for IKI‐stoves is
approximately 50‐70 degrees.
5.1 Setting fire

Empty out the furnace from left over ash and remains from
previous use.

Open the closing panel in the pipe and make sure there is
appropriate airflow.

Fill the furnace with a maximum of 2/3rds of firewood (3‐4
pieces of log).

Lay the logs loosely in a top right position at the back of the
furnace (see image for reference).

Set fire to the kindling and close the hatch. Adjust draught by
pulling the ash box out slightly. Do not burn the furnace with the hatch open.

When needed, put more wood into the furnace. Use the ash spatula to move the
embers for better burning.

The logs should be about 12‐15 cm in diameter. To reach bathing temperature, two
logs will suffice.
NOTE! The handle on the hatch gets hot during heating. Use the heavy‐duty mitten provided
to work the handle. Initially it is good to leave the ash box slightly open when setting fire to
the furnace to get it going. During bathing, when the temperature is high enough, the ash box
can be closed to save wood. Ensure there is appropriate fresh air coming into the sauna.
Make sure the grating in the exhaust air vents do not become blocked.
Use of wood:
KIVI‐IKI Jr: Initial load weight 3 kg, additional load 3 pcs, additional load weight 3 kg.
KIVI‐IKI: Initial load weight 3,5 kg, additional load 4 pcs, additional load weight 3,5 kg.
The hatch should be kept closed to prevent smoke leakage during bathing. Only open it for
setting and adjusting the fire and cleaning up.
Use dry clean wood. Humidity of the wood affects the burning result and efficiency. For kindling
we recommend birch‐bark, manufactured lighting blocks and newspaper.
Do not use the stove to burn:
‐ materials that have a high burning temperature (e.g. chipboard, plastic, coal, compressed
wood or woodchip).
‐ painted or saturated woods.
‐ trash, PVC, textiles, leather, rubber or disposable diapers.
‐ compost materials, such as leaves and grass cuttings
‐ liquid fuels
