and wall with incombustible mineral wool. Follow the
wool manufacturer’s instructions!
•
Replace the cover frame on the screws.
•
Tighten the screws so that the lower edge of the
cover frame is close to the floor.
•
Push the fire door frame section so that it fits snugly
against the wall. Observe the safety distances
specified in section 2.3.
•
Fasten the fire door frame section locking screws
located inside the frame on both sides (2 self-tapping
screws).
•
Centre the ash pit forward tube and fix it in position
with the self-tapping screw located down below in
the centre.
•
Use the extension section to adjust the length of the
ash pit. The correct length is 10 mm shorter thatn
the internal length of the heater measured from the
front to the rear wall. Fix the extension section with 3
self-tapping screws from outside the ash pit.
•
Install the protective cover on the fire door side in
accordance with section 2.3, if applicable.
2.6. INSTALLATION IN A BRICK CHIMNEY
The heater can be connected to a brick chimney from
the rear or at the top (N.B. KSIL models only at the top).
To do so, make a hole in the chimney 2 to 3 cm wider
than the connecting flue pipe. Seal the gap with an
elastic non-combustible material, such as fireproof wool.
Cover the hole with the Kastor cover plate available from
your local hardware dealer. Use metal fixings to fasten
the cover plate to the brickwork.
When the connection is made in the rear, use a
screwdriver to remove the plate covering the hole in the
rear mantle and use it to close the hole at the top of the
heater. Install the connecting pipe supplied to the heater
and push the heater in position while ensuring that the
connecting pipe fits snugly in the hole made in the
chimney. Seal the gaps as explained.
The connection to a brick chimney at the top of the
heater is made using a 45° angle section that can be
turned to a suitable position in respect of the chimney
(an extension pipe can be used if necessary). First insert
the heater’s exit flue pipe then place the angle section on
top of it. If necessary, the angle section and any
extension pipe can be sawn to required length. Seal and
cover the gap between the pipe and chimney as
explained.
Follow the safety instructions given in section 2.3 and the
brick-laying instructions for chimneys.
2.6.1 INSTALLATION USING THE KASTOR
MODULAR CHIMNEY
A Kastor heater can be connected to a prefabricated
modular Kastor chimney. Be sure to select the right size
of chimney with due regard to heater model, chimney
height, ambient conditions, etc. To ensure optimum
performance, always use a flue damper.
•
First insert the heater’s exit flue pipe.
•
On top of that, place a non-insulated connecting pipe
and extension pipe if required. The connecting and
extension pipes can be sawn to required length. The
flue damper is installed at the lower end of the
chimney.
•
Then continue with insulated chimney modules. The
insulated part of the chimney must extend down to a
height of 400 mm below the ceiling. Follow the
chimney instructions.
Follow the safety instructions.
Kastor Oy cannot guarantee the suitability and
performance of chimneys from other manufacturers for
use with Kastor sauna heaters and naturally accepts no
liability for their quality.
2.7. VENTILATION OF THE SAUNA
Gravity ventilation in the steam room:
Provide an air inlet opening of 70–140 cm
2
next to the
heater near the floor level. A 2 cm air gap between the
steam room door and door frame is enough. An air outlet
pipe of the same size, preferably adjustable, can be
provided under the upper bench opposite to the heater,
at least 1 m higher than the air inlet opening.
Mechanical ventilation in the steam room:
Provide an air inlet opening of 70–140 cm2 next to the
heater near the floor level or above the heater at a height
of about 50 cm from the stones. A 2 cm air gap between
the steam room door and door frame is enough. An air
outlet pipe of the same size, preferably adjustable, can
be provided under the upper bench opposite to the
heater. Please note that the steam room air vents
must made of metal!
2.7.1 THROUGH-WALL HEATERS
Gravity ventilation in the room with the fire door: Ensure
adequate supply of fresh replacement air by providing an
inlet air opening of about 70–140 cm2 near the fire door.
Mechanical ventilation in the room with the fire door:
Ensure sufficient supply of fresh replacement air by
providing an inlet air opening of about 70–140 cm
2
near
the fire door. If the ventilation system is based on
negative pressure and a sufficient supply of fresh
replacement air cannot be provided, it is advisable to
install a flue suction fan at the top of the chimney to
prevent smoking and ensure optimum heater
performance.
To maximize the service life of the sauna and the heater,
make sure that that sauna is allowed to dry properly
every time after use. One way of ensuring this is to burn
a couple of logs when you are finished while leaving the
vents fully open.
2.8. FIRE DOOR
2.8.1 ADJUSTABLE LEFT OR RIGHT HAND SWING
KSIL HEATERS DO NOT PERMIT SWITCHING OF
HANDEDNESS.
To change the swing of the door, turn the fire door the
other way round.
•
Open the fire door and push the hinge pin out
through the bottom hole.
•
Pull the top pin downwards to detach the door. Do
not forget the washers.
•
KL-16 fire doors. Move the door locking pin to the
opposite hole.
•
Turn the door upside down so that the handle is on
the side where you want to have it.
•
First insert the hinge pin in the top hole in the collar
and then put the washers on top of it (the notches in
the pine must be at the lower end).
•
Hang the door on the hinge pin above the collar.
•
Finally, guide the hinge pin into the bottom holes of
the collar and fire door.
