EXPRESSIONS AND COMMENTARIES
The wood-burning stove with stones section «Compact 2013» for heating of sauna's steam room and its
adjacent rooms. Also, the stove is destined for steam generation and water heating.
The stove is destined for private use in Russian sauna and renders possible to get all comfortable combinations
of temperature and humidity of air.
Heat-resistant or scaling resistance means capacity of metal to stand against corrosive attack of gases at high
temperatures (not to be confused with high-temperature strength).
Heat-resistant of steel is enhanced by chrome doping. Chrome creates an inactive film on a surface of steel,
which does not be subjected by corrosion till limiting temperature called as temperature of oxide scale formation
beginning.
Heat-resistant of steel and temperature of oxide scale formation beginning rises with increase of chrome
content.
Steel is deemed heat-resistant when it contents mass fraction of chrome 13 % and more.
Steel divides into low-alloyed, medium-alloy and highly alloyed depending on alloying elements content.
Steel is deemed highly alloyed when it contents alloying elements 10% and more.
Colloquially, popular phrase «stainless steel» is not standardized expression. Expression «corrosion resistant
steel» corresponds with this expression in modern materials science.
A key differentiator of corrosion resistant steel is chrome content 12,5% and more.
Temperature of oxide scale formation beginning of applied steel is not less 750C?, and it is confirmed by
certificates of manufacturers.
For comparison: temperature of oxide scale formation beginning of constructional or «carbon»steel is no more
than 400C?, it is greatly low than temperature of walls of functioning wood-burning stove.
Heat-resistant steel is more expensive than traditionally applied «carbon»steel. Its share in manufacturing
costs of stove corresponds near 50%. Therefore, in the process of selection chemical compositions of steel, a
manufacturer excludes those alloying elements and technical operations its processing which don't increase heat-
resistance and lead to unjustified increase in the cost.
Stereotypical perception of stainless steel as mirror surface is erroneous. Mirror surface of household stainless
steel products is achieved by special expensive removal of dark oxide film from surface of sheet. This action is not
needed under manufacture of wood-burning stoves.
ATTENTION! If using of the stove «Compact 2013» for commercial purposes and, also, continuous heating
of stove for more than 10 hours, when working load will increase six-tenfold. Period of working time of the
stove greatly is reduced at such conditions and manufacturer declines all warranties.
nDimensions of the stove permit to locate it in small steam-rooms.
nA special construction provides flash heat of a steam-room (capacity size to 12m3)with small wood
consumption.
nIncreased volume of stones section.
nRelief ports in a bottom side of the stones section prevent progress of corrosion during excessive water
feed.
nOrnamental external components are made with use of current technologies.
nIt is possible to use an integral or mounted tank for water heating or two tanks simultaneously.
nYou can choose model types of constructive or heat-proof steel.
Steel used in manufacture of stoves «Compact INOX 2013»- is heat-resistant, highly alloyed, corrosion
resistant (stainless) in accordance with above stated characteristics.

6. STOVE STRUCTURE AND OPERATION
«Compact 2013» stove designed for operation in the intense combustion mode while temperature increasing
in the sauna room, and in the economy combustion mode to maintain the selected temperature. The stove overall
look and the main elements layout are shown in Figure 6.
«Compact 2013 INOX», «Compact INOX 2013 WT», «Compact INOX 2013 Vitra», «Compact INOX 2013 Vitra
WT» models' firebox (3) and stones section (1) made of heat-resistant high-alloy steel with a chromium content not
less than 13% with the wall thickness of 2 mm.
«Compact 2013», «Compact 2013 WT», «Compact 2013 Vitra», «Compact 2013 Vitra WT» models made of
structural steel 4 mm thick.
Stones section (1), divided into two parts, provides the best use of heated stones mass. The large mass of stones
laid into both parts of the stones section provides temperature stability in the steam room and operates like a
powerful steam generator. Through the ventilation gap the heat from the heated stones transferred into convection
flow, accelerating steam room warming. Excess water falling on poorly heated stones drained through special holes
on the front and rear walls in the deepest part of the stones section.
The cowl (6) prevents the smoke to get directly into the chimney (5). Through cowl use flue gases are not
emitted directly into the chimney but delayed, skirting it, and give more heat to the stones.
Convector casing (2) covering the stove heating surfaces accelerates air heating in the steam room forming a
strong convection flow. Besides of that, it shades hard infrared radiation emitted from the hot firebox walls, which
creates soft warmth in the steam room and serves to protect against accidental contact with the stove during its
operation.
Through the special afterburner channels secondary air is supplied into the stove flue ducts for exhaust gases
post-combustion and the stones section effective heating.
Outside-mounted fuel channel allows the stove firing in an adjacent room. Model with a short fuel channel is
for those who prefer to fire the stove in the steam room.
Firebox door, rotating hinged opens at an angle required for a comfortable and safety fuel loading.
«Compact 2013» model door manufactured in two interchangeable versions: the steel door (8) with an outer
panel self-cooling property and the door of the original design with translucent screen made of heat-resistant glass
Schott Robax ® (9).

Heat-resistant glass screen allows you to monitor combustion process and simply enjoy living fire.
The fire-bar (7) made of solid cast iron installed in the lower part of the firebox. The ash box with sliding ash
drawer is under the firebox (4).
With the stove operation, primary air required for combustion is supplied through the ajar ash drawer (4) and
bar (7) to the fuel. The bar provides combustion process acceleration and a powerful high-temperature flame at the
ignition moment. It provides a uniform wood burning which is so necessary for a sauna stove.
Ash falls into the ash box through the gaps of the bar and you can easily clean the stove without combustion
process interrupting.
Combustion gases are directed into the chimney through the flue pipe with diameter of 115 mm.
In the models with a tank under the convector, the tank for water heating of 24 liters is mounted to the firebox
rear wall.
The stove components without large thermal load are made of structural steel.

nIntegral tank (if available) doesn't have damages.
Overheating of the stove can be identified by red glow of the metal in the dark.
This situation can appear upon the uncontrolled air supply into the fire box. For example, when the door is
open. The stove warming up may lead to dangerous conditions of the stove operation and its premature breakdown.
Itisnecessary bringing in safety precautions for people with a lungs disease and owners of pet, who are sensitive
to smoke (such as birds).
The first heating of the stove it is necessary making open-air with fire prevention discipline, at least one hour,
with charging of a fire box in half in the regime of active combustion.
For correct operation of the stove, at the time of the first heating it is necessary to organize a temporary flue
with height at least 2m.
For the model with an integral tank, at the time of the first heating it is necessary to fill the tank with water.
Drain water after full cooling of the stove.
Please, make sure in normal functioning of the all components of the stove and protective constructions. A
faulty stove is not permitted to operation.
An efficient stove:
It is necessary to load special stones into stones section. The manufacturer recommends using gabbrodiabase,
peridotite, talcum peach, jadeite. These volcanic rocks possess a beautiful pattern and composed of durable minerals
against physical and chemical action. Also, these volcanic rocks don't contain harmful impurities. These volcanic
rocks possess considerable heating capacity, stand against large, repeated temperature differential. Also, stones are
fireproof and don't break. Irregular shape of stones and difference of its sizes provide maximum filling of stones
section and maximal area of heat output.
8.2. Commissioning of the stove
8.3. Stones for stones section

ATTENTION! Stones of unknown origin can contain, numerously, harmful sulfides and radionuclides,
which make its useless and even dangerous for using in a sauna.
nWalls (or partition) of inflammable materials have to be protected with plaster with thickness 25 mm on
an expanded metal or a metal plate on an asbestos paper with thickness 10 mm, from a floor to a level of
250 mm above the top of the stove.
nA wall (or partition), through which fuel canal pass, shall be from nonflammable materials from a floor to
a level of 250 mm above the top of the stove. Recommended thickness of a wall is 125 mm.
nA floor under the stove has to be protected by a foundation from brick at least two coating or other
nonflammable material at a distance of 380 mm from a wall of the stove.
nA floor of inflammable and combustible with difficulty materials in front of a door of a combustor has to
be protected with a metal plate with size 700? 500 mm with length its side along the stove.
nMake a fireproof partition in a passage of a flue through a ceiling.
nAt the time of installation of a flue in premises with a roof of inflammable materials a flue has to be
protected with a spark arrester of gauze with an opening with size no more 5?5 mm, also have to block
with nonflammable roofing materials a space around a chimney.
ATTENTION! A place of installation the stove and chimney will be done in accordance with SNIP (ÑÍèÏ)
(construction norms and rules) 41-01-2003 or, in accordance with technical standards of a country,
where the stove would be exploited.
ATTENTION! It is necessary to provide constant inflow of fresh air into the room where the stove is
operating. The breach of the condition may lead to unstable operation of the stove and appearance of
dangerous situations such as poisoning with carbon monoxide, fire breaking-out.
ATTENTION! All the stove assembly and stones setting into the stones section works shall be carried out
only after total cooling off of the stove.
ATTENTION! The stove is heavy. Make sure that you have the possibilities and equipment for its moving.
Stones shall be rinsed by scrub brush in flowing water before load.
Don't put stones higher than a top level of the stove, because stones will not heat-up to temperature needed
for quality steam formation.
üAttention! Exclude the possibility of excessive water supply to the non-burning hot stones. In this case the
intensive stones section walls oxidation process will take place due to the direct contact of water and metal. This
reduces the service time of the stones section and as the result of its burning-through.
üAttention! Hot steam exhaust from the stones section takes place when water is supplied to the non-burning
hot stones. Supply water carefully.
During the long use of the stove it is necessary to carry out the shift of stones not less than once per year. At
the same time the pebble gravel should be removed and destroyed stones should be replaced with the new ones.
Protect from fire constructions of premises:
It is recommended to organize a balanced system of ventilation for provision of good air change (see figure 7).
A hole for fresh air intake (9) with a section about 100 square centimeters is made in a floor as closely as
possible to the stove or under the stove.
A hole for used air exhaust (6) is made in a wall just below of a level of a ceiling as far as possible from the
stove. For more moist and cold air exhaust, a vertical box (8) is installed to a top hole. A vertical box possesses a vent
hole at a distance not more than 50 cm from a floor.

For installation of the model «Vitra»on the site of operation it is necessary:
For the models «Compact 2013» and «Compact 2013 WT», the stove
is installed on the site and then a door put on a fuel canal. A door is
included in a delivery set.
Installation of a door on the models «Compact 2013» and «Compact
2013 WT»:
The stones shall be set into the stones section after the end of the stove mounting and its connection to all the
necessary systems.
During the use of the stove, the stove pipe shall be treated very carefully.
Stove pipe (chimney stack) – is the means of air ventilation of exhausted gases, it provides the draught that
facilitates the constant air intake into the heating equipment necessary for normal burning process. The stove is
designed only for operation with natural draught.
The stove shall have its own stove pipe.
The stove pipe has two functions for the stove trouble-free operation. The first – is the piping of exhaust gases
generating during the fuel combustion. The second – is draught for air intake into the fire chamber for combustion
maintenance.
Draught – is the natural air or gases movement through the stove pipe. It generates due to the feature of warm
air to go upwards.
As far as the warm air moves in the stove pipe the low pressure is generated in the place of the stove
connection to the stove pipe. The greater pressure from the outside of the stove makes the air move into the area of
lower pressure – into the area of fire box. Thus the air intake into the fire chamber happens. This constant air inflow

is the draught.
The stove won't be operating effectively if there is no draught of the definite value.
Provided the excessive draught the considerable air flow will be entering the fire chamber and this will lead to
the stove overheating. Fire hazard may appear.
With the insufficient draught the insufficient amount of air for fuel proper and complete combustion will be
entering the fire chamber and this may lead to smoke generation in the room. The creosote generation increases
upon the formation of excessive smoke in the stove pipe and that may ignite creating the fire hazard in a house.
Creosote (from French créosote) — is colourless (sometimes yellowish or yellow-green), inflammable, hardly
soluble in water oily liquid with strong smell and pungent taste extracted from wood and coal tar. This is the
mixture of phenols mainly guaiacol and cresols. Soluble in alcohol and ether. Poisonous.
Creosote will inevitably be generated in your stove and stove pipe. To reduce the speed of its generating it is
necessary to:
Use only dried billets that were dried during the period for not less than one year.
Use hardwood of broadleaf woods that is more compact (more heavy) and combust with the higher
temperature.
Before the use of the stove check and amend all that can influence the draught. Reducing or increasing of
draught may influence the draught by set of different factors, some of them may change in the course of time.
Factors influencing the draught:
Atmospheric pressure – may act from outside of a room, from inside and from both side by turns. Weather
conditions to which the high pressure conforms (clear and cold days) usually create the perfect conditions for
combustion.
Negative pressure outside the heated room – is created with the help of ventilation facilities such as:
ventilation inside the bath room, draft hood, equipment for clothes drying, boilers with forced draught. Upon the
negative pressure the air flow in the stove pipe will go backwards at that «negative draught» or «backdraught» is
created.
Negative pressure can be neutralized by opening the door or window in the room with the stove.
The stove pipe temperature – the draught in the warmed up stove pipe is better than in the cold one. The cold
stove pipe quickly cools off hot gases going upwards and this will prevent their further going upwards. Combustion
of the first fuel charge will be enough for the stove pipe warming.
Stone stove pipes and stove pipes with section larger than the heating device are warmed up for a considerably
longer period of time.
The chimney stack shall have minimal number of elbows. The straight pipe is preferable. The use of more than
two piping may lead to the draught loss and possible smoke generation.
The manufacturer recommends to use modular thin-walled chimney stacks made of high-alloy, corrosion-
resisting steel of «Termofor» trademark with the diameter of 115 mm. They are effective, durable and required thee
minimum expenses for assembling and during operating.
For reliable fastening of the units together it is necessary to use «collar-strainer»; the use of self-drilling screws
is allowed if necessary.
In case of installation of thick-walled metal, ceramic, asbestos-cement or other chimney stack of greater weight
it is necessary to unload the stove from its weight.
The ideal solution for chimney stack – is the installation of ready-made pipe units with heat insulation of
The optimal draught for operation of stoves of «Termofor» trademark equals to 12±2 Pa.
ATTENTION! The manufacturer shall not be responsible for the influence of external factors on the
reduction of natural draught in the stove pipe.
ATTENTION! It is prohibited to use chimney stacks with galvanic coating.
ATTENTION! Do not use pipes from different manufacturers in the stove pipe.
ATTENTION! To avoid the smoke blowing into the heated room all the places of chimney stack units
connection against each other and the stove it is necessary to compact with high-temperature sealant (not
less than 1000°Ñ) providing the air-tightness of the pipe junctions.
ATTENTION! The junction of stove pipe units in overlaps and fire block is prohibited.
ATTENTION! The section of chimney stack located in the zone of sub-zero temperatures shall be obligatory

ATTENTION! It is prohibited to use the tank under excessive pressure that differs from the atmospheric
one.
ATTENTION! It is prohibited to touch the warmed up to high temperatures surfaces of the tank with bare
hands or with other parts of body in order to avoid burns and damages.
ATTENTION! Before the stove firing up make sure that there is draft in the flue. Home draft testing is
performed as follows set a lighted match to the open firebox door, if the flame is pulled into the firebox
there is draft in the flue.
ATTENTION! The stove shall be used by only people, who know rules of operation to avoid personal
injuries.
ATTENTION! Don't burn the firewood in a fuel canal. It can lead to deformation of a door and smoke
spreading in a sauna.
ATTENTION! It is prohibited to stoke the stove with the open door except for the cases of re-starting up.
This may lead to appearance of dangerous modes of stove operation, smoke entering the heated room and
fire breaking-out.
ATTENTION! Don't use constrained air-feeding in the ash drawer.
ATTENTION! Don't extinguish fire with water.
The models «Compact 2013» with a tank («WT» in the name) have a built-in tank for water heating; water is
heated due to contact between the tank wall and the firebox wall and convection air flow inside the convector. Two
tanks can be used simultaneously for these stoves models.
Before regular heating of the stove, it is necessary to check the firebox and ash drawer and if it would be
necessary to clear its from ash and other items (unburned fuel, foreign objects (e.g. nails) remained from past using
of the stove.
It is necessary to lay the firewood on the fire bar through the door. At the time of heating, that to provide an
intensive ignition of a fuel and air access to a combustion zone, it is necessary to lay not tightly the firewood and a
little push the ash drawer.
Do not load the fire chamber up to the top – this may lead to a dangerous situation when the door will be
open. Always shut the door after starting the stove up.
To reduce the amount of pollutant emissions it is necessary to start the ignition from the upper part of the fuel
and during the use of the stove add firewood into the fire chamber by small portions.
Fire box shall be filled with small and medium firewood for quick achievement of high temperature in a steam
room with more economic expense of firewood (regime of temperature increase). Large-size firewood shall be put
into the bottom and smaller ones to the top. Put the kindling wood on top of the firewood.
Ash hole shall be closed and big firewood shall be loaded into the combustor for supporting of stones'
temperature and air in a steam room. Sensible quantity of firewood is 3-4 pcs.
For the emergence of a stable chimney draft after heating of the stove is needed a little time. Small smoke
emission in a premise is possible if would be opened the door of the just heated working in the regime of
temperature increasing stove. Burning of the first fuel is sufficient for flue preheat and developing of a chimney
draft which prevents fuming.
In the following, air flow, affecting the combustion rate, would be regulated with opening or closing of the ash
drawer.
For laying a regular batch of fuel, it is necessary completely close the ash drawer and to slowly open the door
after some seconds.
Be careful during the regular firewood adding to not put out the fire.
For ending of the stove's operation, please, wait till completely burning-out of a fuel, thereafter, clearing the
stove from ash and to close fully the door, the ash drawer and the gate.
8.11. Operation of the stove

ATTENTION! Little deformation of metal is possible in the combustor at the time of stove's operation. It
doesn't disturb of hermiticity of weld seams. It isn't a sign of defective products.
ATTENTION! If temperature in a premise is less than +5°C at the period of pause in the stove's work, then
water will be drained from a system of water heating.
ATTENTION! Don't leave an unattended heating stove and, also, don't trust children and people, who are
in a state of drug, alcoholic or other toxic intoxication controlling the stove.
ATTENTION! Don't touch to heated till high temperature of surfaces of the stove with hand without

actuation):
It is strictly prohibited to change the system of air supply into the fire chamber if you want to increase the
flame. The changes of air supply into the fire chamber differing from the designed one will create dangerous
conditions for the stove use.
During the economical combustion takes place the intensive generation of tar and other organic fumes that
are mixing with exhausted steam and generated creosote. Creosote fumes condensate at relatively cold surfaces of
the stove pipe and may be accumulated there. And if afterwards they ignite this creates extreme temperatures in the
chimney stack and may lead to ignition of materials surrounding the pipe and cause fire.
Open and close the door only by the handle. Raked out ashes and drosses from the combustor shall be
extinguished with water and shall be located in a special fireproof place.
Maintenance work of the stove and the chimney shall be regularly done for most efficient and safety operation
of the stove.
Sweep chimneys and stoves (stoves) before the beginning of heating season and also during it in accordance
with the «Rules of fireproof routine in the Russian Federation» at least:
It is necessary to use the stove, out of bounds of the Russian Federation, in accordance with technical standards
of a country, where the stove would be exploited.
Involvement of experts for checking and sweeping a chimney is preferable.
The chimney can be cleaned both mechanically (with special devices, such as bristle brushes, brushes, loads,
scrapers) and chemically (with the special chemical purifier «log-sweep»). A bristle brush would be selected
depending on a form and a cross-sectional size of a tube.
nPay attention to the signs of poisoning with carbon monoxide: headache, sickness, sleepiness.
nIncrease the intensity of ventilation (open windows, doors)
nMake sure that door and ash-drawer at the stove are shut tight
nCheck – if there is smoke from the stove (through the air dampers)
nCheck the connecting pipe and stove pipe for the presence of blowing, smoke obstacle, and back-draught.
nCheck carbon monoxide sensors for false actuation.
ATTENTION! Place power lead and electrical equipment in the safety area described in the manual.
ATTENTION! Provided the creosote ignition in the stove pipe shut all air dampers of the stove, leave the
room and call the firemen.
ATTENTION! Stove for bath house (sauna) can be the reason for fire ignition.
ATTENTION! Don't perform a mechanical cleaning and servicing of the stove till its full cooling.
nOnce in three months for stoves;
nOnce in two months for continuous furnaces and fire-places;
nOnce in month for ovens and other stoves of continuous (long-term) heat.
ATTENTION! The company «Termofor» doesn't have responsibility for consequences of unqualified work
to sweeping and checking of the chimney or the stove.

1. Unscrew two nuts fixing the clamp (fig.14.I), and disassemble it and distance bushings.
2. Remove the glass from the stop.
3. Take new glass and if it doesn't have thread sealing tape stick them: tape of 20 mm in width is stuck from
the top and from below the glass, in a «Ï» shape (fig. 14.I), tape of 10 mm in width is stuck vertically,
along the lateral sides of the glass (fig. 14.II).
4. Insert the glass into the stop, at that the tape stuck from the lateral sides (vertical) shall be pressed
between the glass and the door frame (fig. 14.II).
9.2. Service maintenance of door translucent screen
10. CURRENT REPAIR
To prevent soot accumulation at the translucent screen (glass) it is necessary to clean it from time to time.
Accumulation of acidulous thin coating (of soot) will as the result erode and weaken the glass of the
translucent screen.
It is important to obey the following instructions so that the glass can be used for a long period of time.
On the regular basis inspect the glass for chips and cracks. Provided any cracks or chips are found immediately
put out the stove and address the manufacture for glass replacement issue.
Don't slam the door; don't otherwise hit the glass. When shutting the door make sure that billets and other
objects do not stick out from the fire chamber so that not to damage the glass.
Don't start up fire near the glass or in such a manner that during the burning process it may be close to the
glass.
When cleaning the glass do not use materials that can scratch or in other way damage the glass. Scratches on
the glass may during the use lead to glass destruction.
Never try to clean the glass while it is still hot. Before kindling the glass shall be completely dry.
Never put into the stove materials that can ignite explosively. Even small explosion in the closed space is
capable to smash out the glass.
Glass cleaning from sooty deposits shall be carried out as and when necessary by soft cloth wetted with special
solution for fireplace and stove glasses in accordance with the instruction.
It is prohibited to use the stove with damaged translucent screen. In case of glass damages for its replacement it
is necessary to install only high-temperature ceramic glass with thickness of 4 mm and correct dimensions. For
correct replacement order see cl. 10.
Do not use instead of the glass the heat-strengthened glass or thickened window glass. Contact the
manufacturer for the glass replacement issue.
A damage of a varnish-and-paint coating, at the time of operation, would lead to emergence of corrosion. It is
not the warranty case. The manufacturer recommends refreshing the paint of the carcass with a heat-proof
organosilicone enamel of type KO-868.
