Piling stones in the sauna stove
Preparations
1. Ensure that the control panel, the temperature sensor, any floor heating reduction and the sauna
stove have been correctly connected to the power supply
by an electrician.
2. The benches should be installed before the stones are
piled in the sauna stove,
IF
the sauna stove is integrated
through the benches. It will be difficult to move the sauna
stove after the stones have been piled it. Place the sauna
stove in its intended location, considering the safety
distances.
3. For piling stones in the sauna stove, you will need a
spirit level, protective gloves, 80 – 110 kg of washed rocks with a diameter of 5 – 10 cm, depending
on the sauna stove model (check the correct amount from the manual), and the resistors that were
included in the sauna stove delivery.
Piling stones
1. Straighten the sauna stove with the help of a spirit level. The
spirit level can be lowered between the resistors to the lower
level of the sauna stove, where you can check the straightness.
Check the straightness in both directions, adjust with the
adjustment feet. If no stones have been piled into the sauna
stove yet, the adjustment feet can be rotated by hand, but they
can also be adjusted with a 17 mm ring spanner.
2. Pile the stones into the lower part of the sauna stoves. Do
not wedge the resistors. Ensure that the resistors travel
vertically where they have been attached to the bottom plate,
throughout the entire section where the stones have been
installed. Stop piling stones when you reach the end of the
middle part of the resistor, and move to Section 3.
ENSURE throughout the entire stone piling process that
there are stones between the resistors, and that the
resistors cannot come in contact with each other! If the
stones have been piled incorrectly, the resistors can melt
into each other, which is not covered by the warranty!
3. Lower the resistor plate onto the stones as shown on the
images, and continue piling the stones. It is very important to
pile stones properly between the resistors, and for the resistors
to be aligned straight. This ensures that the resistors cannot
bend against each other, which might otherwise cause the
resistors to break. However, do not put too many stones
between the resistors.
