Important information
Incorrect installation of the sauna stove may cause
fi
re hazard. Please read through the
installation and the user’s manual carefully before the installation and use of the sauna
stove. During installation it is very important to apply safe distances from the sauna stove
and follow the instructions as follows:
The sauna stove is installed in a room especially built for the purpose.
The sauna stove is not used for business purpose.
The installed sauna stove has to be of appropriate output.
Natural ventilation, compliant with requirements, has to be installed in the room.
The sauna stove may be used by a person who has suf
fi
cient experience and/or skills.
Ensure permanent supervision of children to avoid their being near the heated sauna
stove all alone.
For heating the sauna use only appropriate
fi
rewood meant for heating the steam room
(low pitch content, unprocessed timber – for the energy content of different
fi
rewood see
Table 2).
Caution:
Wrong installation of the stones of the sauna hearth and/or a covered sauna
hearth may cause
fi
re hazard.
Before heating the sauna, be sure that there are no unnecessary things near the stove.
The operating sauna stove works on high temperature and any contact with it may cause
serious burns.
Do not forget to open dampers of the gas
fl
ue or the chimney before heating the sauna.
Avoid overheating the stove. Check that the side and back walls of the stove (not the hous-
ing) and the gas
fl
ue would not become red.
In case of
fi
re call the emergency service immediately by emergency number 112.
No electrical appliances or wires are allowed in the safety zone of the stove.
The sauna stove must not be connected into a distributed smoke gas system.
Lamps in the steam room must be spray-proof and tolerate temperature up to 140 ºC.
The ash compartment of the sauna stove has to be shut during burning (except during
ignition).
The height of the sauna stove may be altered (regulated legs – M12). It is reasonable to
use the function when the
fl
oor is not even (e.g. there is a drain trap in the steam room).
Please follow the sauna stove manufacturer’s requirements and product-based special
requirements.
