iNSTAtLiNG THE STOVE
As in all our stoves, th^re Is an escape hole for the smoke flue on top of the
stove as well as behind it. You cian close the unnecessary hole using the
closing trap supplied. Included with the delivery, you Witi also receive a
200mm connecting pipe for connecting the stove to the smoke flue through
the back hole. When connecting the stove to the smoke flue through the
hole on top of the stove, we recommend you use our connecting pipes which
are avaiiabie as accessories. When doing this, do not forget to dose the
smoke hole behind the stove using the closing trap supplied, (Figure 6)
Do not install the connecting pipe too deep i nto the smoke flue, because
this would block the draught The gap between the smoke flue and the
connecting pipe must be filled using e g, mineral wool.
When installing the stove, make sura the stove stands firmly on Its base and
the
proper safety distances mentioned in these instructions have been
observed

PREHeATlNG
In the factory, the interior parts of the stove have been coated with protective agents to prevent
corrosion during storage. Before starting to use the stove and placing rocks on the stove, you
should preheat the stove in order to remove these protective agents. It is enough to burn 1-2
ovenfulis of wood for preheating. During preheating, sufficient ventilation should be arranged in
the washroom to dissipate the smoke gases producad by the protective agents.
STOVE ROCKS
Always use rocks supplied by the manufacturer in your stove
Before placing the rocks onto the stove, carefully wash them with dean water. Do not use any
detergents.
Place the rocks on top of each other so that they are level with the edge of the rock well. Be
careful not to place the rocks too dose to each other to allow air circulation between the rocks.
Place the largest rocks at the bottom of the rock well.
HEATiNG UP THE STOVE
Only wood can be used for heating up the stove. Before healing, the stove grate should always
be cleaned and the ash pan emptied
Avoid heating the siove so that the passage in the rock well remains red heated for a tong time
beacause this would overload the firebox and shorten the lifetime of the stove.
After your saunabath, you can leave a small fire In the stove to dry up the washroom constructions,
STOVE MAINTENANCE
The stove must be swap through the soot hatches at least once a year in order to maintain optimal
draught- At the same lime, it is also useful to check the condition of the stove rocks and to replace
the decayed ones by new ones
