2.5. Connecting the heater to the smoke flue
Stoveman heaters have the flue gases outlet on top of the fire chamber. The heater will be connected to the smoke flue with
proper (temperature class T600) pipe fitting with inner diameter of at least 115 (+2) mm. When performing the connection
with smoke flue it is important to make sure that in the direction of chimney outlet the connection won’t be in any part at
declining angle, in order to avoid any obstructions that could impede the flue gas flow.
- Place the connector to the heater’s flue gas output and make sure that the connector fits tightly.
- Perform the connection until the fireproof flue outlet.
- Push the heater into place.
N.B. Avoid pushing the pipe connector too far into the flue not to obstruct the draft in the flue. If necessary, shorten the
respective pipe section.
-Seal the connecting pipe and the connection of the fire-resistant flue using fire-resistant mineral wool, for example. Make
sure the entire connection of the smoke flue is sealed properly. If necessary, add fire-resistant mineral wool.
The connection between the heater and the chimney flue must be inspected by a person with relevant expertise.
2.6.
Installation of a heater with fire chamber expansion (heated from another room)
(See Fig. 4)
The heater must be installed into an opening of a concrete or brick wall. The recommended dimensions of the opening are:
Height H 470 mm
Width L 320 mm
Thickness/Depth P 200 mm
If the floor in front of the fire chamber door is made of flammable material, a floor protection must be installed.

3. Instructions for use
Please read carefully all instructions.
3.1. Warnings
- Direct exposure of a human body to heated stones or other parts of the heater is harmful to health.
- Do not throw water onto the stones (generate steam), when someone is in the immediate vicinity of the heater as hot steam
can cause him/her burns.
- Do not use sea water for throwing onto the stones.
3.2. Preparation for use
Hopefully, it is possible for you to perform the initial heating outdoors as said in section 2.1. If it is not possible to heat the
heater outdoors, you must perform the first heating of the already installed heater in a well ventilated sauna room. In such a
case, the final curing of the cover paint will generate a lot of fumes in the sauna room. Heat the heater, using only half the
load of firewood, until the paint on the outer wall of the fire chamber becomes entirely mat and does not emit smoke any
more.
