If several full batches of wood are burned in the heater consecutively, the heater and the pipe will become
overheated, which might result in an increased risk of fire.
9. Maintenance and repairs
9.1. Cleaning the heater
The surface of the heater may be cleaned with mild detergent and moist, soft cloth.
Clean the fire door glass with a soot cleaner agent (e.g. Noki Pois) available from hardware stores.
9.2. Removing the ashes
Excess ash will shorten the grate's life cycle and weaken burning. Fresh air enters the furnace through the heater back
wall under the grate, which is why it is important to remove ashes from the heater before using it again (Figure 9).
Always remove the ash before using the heater, unless the ash is still hot.
9.3. Chimney sweeping
The opening in the stone compartment is a soot hatch (covered with a cap).
The inner parts of the heater are cleaned through the soot hatch 2 to 4 times a year depending on frequency of use.
For this, you need to empty the stone compartment. You can take the opportunity to check the condition of the stones. Soot
hatches open when they are lifted upward parallel to the surface.
If the cap has stuck because of temperature fluctuation, use a bending iron or a hammer.
9.4. Cleaning the fire chamber glass
Handle the glass door carefully. Do not bang the door shut or use it for pushing wood into the furnace. Clean the glass with
Noki Pois or similar soot cleaning agent.
9.5. Replacing broken glass panel
•
Remove the door as instructed in section 5.
•
Remove all pieces of broken glass.
•
Straighten the tabs at the corners and remove the four (4) locking springs inside the mouldings.
•
Push the glass into the upper moulding and insert it into the lower moulding by sliding the glass. Adjust the glass to the
centre.
•
Push the locking springs in at the ends of the mouldings, and bend the tabs against the glass.
•
Attach the door to the heater.
10. Troubleshooting
If the heater or the sauna doesn't perform as you think it should, check it following the below list. Make sure you have
selected the correct heater to match the sauna room's volume.
The heater is too hot (red-hot)
The draft exceeds -12Pa
- lower the draft with the damper
The stones are laid too tightly or they are too small.
- place the stones more loosely and use stones that are min. 10 cm in diameter.
There's too much wood, or the pieces are too small.
- table 2 has the maximum amounts of wood for the heater, do not use more.
- do not burn large amounts of small pieces of wood, because their temporary heating effect is high.
- let the previous batch of wood become embers before adding the next batch
There's smoke in the sauna room, the draft is bad.
Turn off all equipment that may cause low pressure.
Is the damper open?
Is the connection pipe sealed against the heater and the flue?
Is the connecting pipe installed so that the shorter end is connected to the heater? (Check this through the soot hatch in the
stone compartment.)
Is the alternative flue opening sealed with the included cover?
Are the heater's soot hatches securely shut?
Is there ash in the heater channels?
Is the interconnecting pipe from the heater to the flue free from ash?
Is the flue completely open? Is it unswept, filled with snow, covered with winter cover etc.
Is the chimney in good condition? Cracks, weathering.
Is the draft height (chimney height) sufficient for the surrounding environment?
- If there are trees close by, a steep hill etc., the chimney needs to be over 3.5 m measured from the floor.
Is the flue size correct?
- the minimum diameter is half a brick for brick flues or 115 mm for round flues
The stones do not become hot enough.
Have you burned enough wood in the furnace?
Burn enough wood in the heater, refer to the amounts of wood in Table 2.
Is the draft too weak?
Is the amount of stones correct?
