•
Kastor heaters are meant to be used for heating a sauna. They must not be used for any other purpose.
•
The heater is not meant for continuous 24 hour use.
•
Sea water, rainwater or water containing chlorine must not be thrown onto the stones, use clean water only.
•
In the proximity of sea water, there is also the risk of corrosion for the heater; operating life may be shorter.
•
Decorative or other items must not be placed on the heater. The heater must not be covered when it is heated, or
when it is hot. E.g. drying clothes or other flammable material on the heater is forbidden due to fire risk.
•
In order to guarantee full output and safety, the fire door must always be kept shut when heating. The fire door can be
open during heating only when adding more firewood, and the heater must be continuously observed. Monitor sauna
temperature so that the heater will not overheat. If the heater becomes overheated, open the sauna door and allow
ventilation.
•
Fire doors and glass surfaces must be handled carefully.
•
The fire door handle may be hot; use a tool, e.g. a glove, when opening.
•
If the heater has not been used for a long time and is located in a damp space (e.g. an unheated holiday house), it must
be carefully checked before use for corrosion damage and to make sure the chimney is not blocked, for example by a
bird's nest.
•
If a chimney fire occurs, or if there is a risk of one, close the fire doors but leave the damper on the flue open.
•
Call the fire brigade if you need help with putting the fire out. After a chimney fire, a local chimney sweep must always
check the condition of the flue.
•
A chimney fire, even one that was put out, must always be reported to the fire authorities.
•
Take caution. Handles, fire door glass and the surface of the heater as well as recirculated air may be hot!
•
Do not let children light fires or stay near a burning fire unless supervised by adults.
•
Follow the instructions when heating and installing the heater.
•
The heater can only be heated using unprocessed firewood.
•
Structural changes must not be made to the heater.
•
Only use original equipment and parts approved by the manufacturer.
2. Installation and preparations for use
2.1. Bringing into service condition and burn-in
•
Place the heater on a non-flammable surface outdoors, without stones.
•
Remove all extra stickers and protective plastic (excluding type/CE mark stickers).
•
Make sure that the grate is in place.
•
Install the included connecting pipe to the flue opening above the heater, the shorter section into the heater.
•
Check the caps for the soot hatches and the flue opening.
•
BURN-IN: The purpose of burn-in is to burn the protective agents off the stove outdoors, and cure the heater finish. Burn
a furnace-full of small chopped wood. Continue burning the heater outdoors until the heater emits no odour.
•
Let the heater cool down and move it indoors to the sauna.
•
Make sure there's ample ventilation during the first heatings.
2.2. Installation through a wall
Kastor-T heaters may only be installed through a wall made of non-flammable material.
If the floor in the front of the fire door
is flammable, the floor must be protected at the distance of 400 mm to the front and 100 mm to the sides, as measured
from the fire door. The protective base must be made of non-flammable material.
The sauna room floor must be higher than or at the same level as the floor onto which the fire door will be placed. The heater
(including the fire door component) is installed horizontally on a non-moving and stable fireproof base, such as a
minimum of 60 mm thick concrete or brick base). The base must extend 100 mm beyond the sides of the heater. The
concrete base can be moulded so that it slants forward. The heater's front corners have slots for adjustment screws for
adjusting the heater to a level position (the screws are supplied in the accessory bag). Note: check the floor's load-
bearing capacity before installation (refer to the table for the combined weight of heaters and stones.)
DO NOT INSTALL THE HEATER ON A FLOOR MADE OF FLAMMABLE MATERIAL WITHOUT A PROTECTIVE BASE
Measuring from the sauna room, make a 440 mm wide and 560 mm high opening to a wall. This leaves approximately 20
mm around the extended fire door on each side, so that the opening can be insulated with fireproof material (take the
pipe's location into account).
Remove the ash pan the extension component on the fire door side. Push the heater into place from the sauna room and
reinstalled the components removed from the fire door side without attaching the extension component to the wall. Install
the front frame component supplied with the heater. Install the frame to the door-side extension component using 13-
mm drill screws. The extension component has holes for four screws. Install the heater as well as the extension
component and insulate the gap between the wall and the extended door opening on the sauna room side using fireproof
insulation wool. The extension component can be secured with drill screws. Screws are drilled to the outermost extension
component on the heater frame from the inside by opening the door (two holes on each side in the middle of the extension
component). Centre and secure the ash pan cover pipe using drill screws (below in the front). If the ash pan needs to be
extended, use the extension component shipped inside the pan. Secure to the ash pan from the outside towards the
inside using drill screws.
2.3. Heater stones, placing the stones
Use peridotite or olivine stones or semi dark natural stones over 10 cm in diameter in the heater. Wash the stones before
placing them into the stone compartment. Do not place the stones too tightly or pile them too high. Leave enough space
between the stones. Place the stones vertically instead of horizontally to allow hot air flow from underneath all the way to
the top stones. Fill the entire stone compartment, place flat stones vertically and pay attention to the maximum amount of
stones. Table 1
