3.2. Preparing the Stove for Use

The initial heating of a new sauna stove is recommended to do with half the stove-load of

firewood and without the stones; the room must be ventilated afterwards.

The purpose of the procedure is to burn off protective paint from the stove body. This will cause the

stove body to emit smoke with unpleasant smell.

1. If possible, heat the stove body outdoors until it stops emitting smoke. Install smoke pipes (if

any) for draught. Let the stove body cool.

2. Install the stove according to installation instructions. Place the stones into the stove

3. Heat the sauna to a normal bathing temperature. You should ensure good ventilation in the

sauna room as the stove body may still emit smoke and smell. When the smoking stops, the

stove is ready for normal use.

3.3. Burning Material

Dry wood is the best material for heating the stove. Dry chopped firewood clinks when it is knocked

together with another piece. The moisture of the wood has a significant impact on how clean the

burning is as well as on the efficiency of the stove. You can start the fire with birch bark or

newspapers. The thermal value of wood differs from one type of wood to another.

If you burn large amounts of wood, which has a high thermal value, the life span of the stove will

shorten!

Do not burn the following materials in the stove:

Burning materials that have a high thermal value (such as chipboard, plastic, coal,brickets,

pellets)

Painted or impregnated wood

Waste (such as PVC plastic, textiles, leather, rubber, disposable diapers) - Garden waste

(such as grass, leaves)

Liquid fuel

3.4. Sauna Stones

The stones should be 7,5–15 cm in diameter.

Only proper stones meant for the specific purpose should be used as sauna stones.

Peridotite, olivine-dolerite and olivine are suitable stone types. Stones found in nature may

contain harmful substances, such as iron pyrite, and therefore should not be used.

Wash off dust from the stones before piling them into the stove.

Piling of the sauna stones:

1. Align the steel frame and the stove body. Place a few stones between the stove body and steel

frame so that the steel frame will not move during the placement of the stones.

2. Cover the stove body with stones. Place the stones in a dense layer between the stove body and

steel frame. Direct heat radiation from the uncovered stove body can cause the surrounding

structures to heat up to dangerous temperatures even outside the safety distances. Use stones that

fit easily between the steel frame and the stove body.

3. Fill the upper part of the steel frame with stones. Place the stones sparsely. Do not form a high

heap of stones above the frame.

4. Make sure that the stove body is not visible behind the stones after the stones have been placed.

If necessary, pile stones more densely and/or add stones.

3.5 Heating the Stove

1. Before heating the stove make sure that there are no unnecessary items in the sauna or inside

the stove's safety distances.

2. Empty the ash box.

3. Place the firewood into the fire chamber, leaving enough room for the combustion air to flow

between the firewood. Place the biggest firewood on the bottom and the smaller ones on the top.

Use firewood with a diameter of 8–12 cm. Ignition load value is 2,8-3,6 kg depends of wood. It is

recommended to pick the first stove-load of firewood (the ignition load) from smaller and easilyigniting

pieces of wood, thus having more air and less weight than the standard stoveload.
