“EasySteam” company's furnaces are made from stainless heat-resistant steel with chrome
content not less than 17% and wall thickness more than 4 mm. The furnace body (point 1) is a complex
bent-welded structure with additional elements to reinforce the construction. There are convection
canals (point 2) on the outside of side-walls. Maintaining the flame temperature high inside the
furnace is essential for the heating up of the heater's filling (point 3) to the uttermost. There are
protective heat-retaining shields (point 4) inside the furnace which help to redistribute the tempera-
ture load inside the furnace, significantly increase the heat energy transfer to the bottom of the
heater and to take the load o the load-bearing wall.
The heater is a complex reservoir in the center of the furnace.
In order to fully and evenly heat up the heater's filling and to be able to regulate the heating
process, there is a main chimney (point 6) in the heater in addition to manufacturing clearances
between the heater and the furnace body. The flame spreader (point 5) is installed in the furnace to
prevent the penetration of high-temperature flame in the chimney flue through the main chimney.
When the flame spreader is working the most flames are staying in the furnace heating it up and only
combustion gases end up in the chimney.
In order to equally distribute the load of massive heater's filling, the heater's bottom is made
semicircular that also let's to increase the heating area and to prevent the bottom elevated-
temperature deformation. Maintenance of the equipment is done through the steam pipe (point
7).вых нагрузках.
Due to the fact that in the operating process the heater is one of the most loaded elements, total
mass of the filling shouldn't exceed the maximum value mentioned in this manual!
Steam generating unit (point 8), which is a complex system of vertical and horizontal pipes,
is installed in the heater to get high quality finely dispersed steam. Pin-holes are made in horizontal
pipes to ensure even distribution of steam-water mixture over the most heated-up bottom layer of
the heater's filling. The dispensing unit is attached to the upper part of the steam generating unit.
There is a safety (back pressure) valve in order to prevent an unpermitted emission of steam-water
mixture in the opposite direction.
Before usage, it is necessary to check the performance capability of the dispensing unit. Remove
(screw o) the dispensing unit and examine the safety valve. In case of discovering of foreign
object (small pieces of bath besom or so on), remove them and wash the device properly.

1
07
Performance capability of the safety valve is checked by shaking if the valve is functional, you will
hear a distinctive sound of valve jingling in both ways which indicates that nothing blocks its
movement.
On the front wall of the furnace there is a heat-control shutter (point 10) which allows the
furnace to operate in two modes: “intensive heating up of the sweating room” and “intensive heating
up of the heater”
The boiler grate (point 11) is installed at the bottom of the furnace. Through the slots in the
grate the air comes to the heater which is essential for high-temperature combustion process.
Combustion products also get to the ash box (point 15) through the boiler grate.
At the top of the furnace there is a flue-gases outlet (point 12), a steam pipe (point 7), a pipe
of a steam generating unit to connect it to the dispensing unit, and a cleanout port (point 16).
The cleanout port serves to clean and examine manufacturing clearances between the
heater and the furnace body. Examine manufacturing clearances not less than once a year or when
there is a diculty of a chimney draft. In case if there is a lot of soot in the clearances, clear it o with a
flexible brush for smoke pipes (pic.1). In order to get to cleanout port, ease o the cap nut on the lid of
the cleanout port with a 13 mm wrench. While lifting the nut up, make three full rotations (don't
unscrew the nut completely) then move the lid of the cleanout port aside and take it out of the port.
Put the lid of the cleanout port back after the examination and tighten the cap nut.
The front of a furnace consists of a specially shaped frame with a door (point 14) and air
governor (point 17) attached to it.
The front of a furnace and its body are separated by the fuel channel (point 13) which allows
lighting the furnace from a room adjacent to the sweating one.
The furnace is painted with black organosilicone enamel.

FURNACE PREPARATION FO USE
Before installation, you should test-light the furnace outdoors for 4-5 hours. During the first
burning, all technical components (dirt, occupational dust and so on), which got on the furnace
during the transportation and warehouse or production storage, will burn out.
Before putting the furnace into exploitation, make sure that all installation works were
completed according to the requirements of this manual or to instructions for constituent parts made
by other supplier!
Furnace and chimney should be regularly checked. In case if there is any malfunction of the
equipment, you should immediately stop exploiting the furnace and contact our specialists to
get a troubleshooting assistance on a possible cause of this failure and remedial procedures to fix
it.
Our main chimneys are made of stainless heat-resistant steel AISI 316 (310, 321) with wall thickness
not less than 0.8 mm in the brick or stone cover which is fixated with a decorative sheet
(economizer).
The minimum distance between the cover and inflammable surfaces is 500 mm.
The protective heat-resisting shield in the front of the furnace should be as high as the full height
of the room (pic. 4).
When developing your banyas' project and installing the furnace, it is NECESSARY to ensure that
all fire safety standards mentioned in the Code of Practice (CP) 112.13330.2011* “Fire safety of
buildings and facilities” and CP 7.13130.2013 “Heating, ventilation and conditioning. Fire safety
requirements. With Amendment No.1 & Amendment No.2” are met. Non-compliance with safety
standards can cause a fire.
The pass-through in floors and in the roof should be made fire-proofed according to the CP
7.13130.2013.
The floor in front of the door should be covered with a metal sheet in size of 700*500 mm in
order to shield it from the combustible materials.
Combined extract-and-input ventilation is installed in the sweating room to insure good
ventilation.
In the far corner away from the furnace, there is should be a small window under the ceiling
to remove the carbon dioxide accumulated during the respiration.
While in operation the furnace has a thermal expansion of 3-5 mm. This should be taken into
account in the process of installation.
It is prohibited to place the flue channel of the furnace outside. The furnace cannot be lighted up
from the outdoors.

Not every type of stone is suitable for the furnace! Undefined stones of unknown origin should not
be used!
As the filling for the inner heater we recommend you to use following stones: gabbro-
diabase, jadeite, quartzite, quartz, porphyrite, jasper and so on. They have high heat absorption
capacity, don't contain any harmful impurities and won't be aected by changes of temperature.
Before laying stones in the heater, clean them of any foreign particles and wash properly with hot
water.
On the bottom of the heater, under the steam generating unit, lay stones of 100х80х70 mm
fraction. Then it is recommended to lay bigger stones and fill up cavities with smaller fractions.
In order to avoid damaging the furnace, it is not recommended to make a monolithic-type laying
of stones. You should always leave some space between the stones. Total mass of the filling
shouldn't exceed the maximum value mentioned in this manual!
To be able to use natural or liquefied gas as fuel, burner units of the ГГУ or САБК-ТБ series
were installed at the factory.
Pic. 2 Burner units' appearance
Burner units are installed in the burner and fixated with fasteners. For more detailed
information on the installation, utilization and technical characteristics see the instructions for burner
units.
The appearance of burners unit may dier from the one presented in the picture 2
The laying of the filling in the inner heater is done through the steam pipe at the top of the
furnace. The laying of the filling in the outer heater is done through clearances between the cover and
the wall.

FURNACE OPERATION
Proper burning of the furnace significantly increases the service life and reduces a risk of fire
breaking-out. A recommended heater's load is 50-70 % of its volume. The most appropriate fuel for
the furnace is dry wood of deciduous hardwood trees (birches, aspens, alders). High quality fuel
briquettes made of pressed sawdust may also be used.
It is prohibited to burn coal or peat in the furnace.
High-temperature combustion is a process directly connected with oxygen input, which is
regulated by using air governor.
To light a furnace, put a woodpile (5-7 logs) in the burner and pull out the heat-control
shutter (“intensive heating up of the sweating room” mode).
Log must not be longer than the length which is specified in the technical specifications! This
could lead to smoking of the glass and overheating of the furnace portal.
Some time after lighing up the furnace, an intensive combustion process starts, and high-
temperature gases go up through manufacturing clearances between the heater and the furnace
body as well as through the main chimney and engulf the heater in flames.
At the highest point high-temperature gases run against the top of the furnace and form a
circle around the heater, in so doing, enhancing the heating-up of the inner filling.
Oxygen, that is essential for high-temperature combustion in the lower part of the heater,
comes in directly through the boiler grate.
Proper installation of main chimney prevents flue gases from getting into the room even if the
furnace door is open.
Heating-up of the heater is directly connected to stones' (inner filling) heating-up.
Well heated heater guarantees that you'll enjoy your easy steam!
In order to create true Russian banya temperature-humidity conditions in your sweating room,
the furnace is installed with protective heat-retaining shields.
It is prohibited to light the furnace with highly inflammable liquids.
When in service, walls of the furnace and the heater can undergo a slight deformation, which
won't aect weld's leak-tightness. This is not a spoilage.

1
11
When the furnace is equipped with a heat-retaining screen (look “protective heat-
retaining shield”), the process of air circulation takes place which helps to heat-up the sweating room
much faster.
The temperature in the sweating room is regulated by opening or closing of the convection
door in the shield (look “protective heat-retaining shield”).
Protective shield absorbs direct radiation of heated furnace walls, prevents getting burns, makes
outcoming warmth even more gentle and comfortable as well as allows regulating the tempera-
ture in the sweating room with a precision up to 10 degrees. The warmth accumulated by the
shield helps to maintain air temperature within a given range.
To prevent the overheating of the sweating room, when the air temperature reaches 60-70
degrees, close the heat-control shutter thereby switching the furnace into the mode of “intensive
heating up of the heater”
In the mode “intensive heating up of the heater” the main thermal load is aimed at heating
and maintaining the temperature of the inner filling of the heater, but walls temperature and wood
consumption decrease.
Be careful! The process of water (volume of which is equal to one of the dispensing unit) transfor-
mation into the steam takes no longer than 5 seconds!
Decrease of walls temperature in the mode “intensive heating up of the heater” is a continuous
process which doesn't lead to their complete cool-down.
If the temperature in the sweating room drops lower than 60-70 degrees (in case of
continuous exploitation), you should switch the furnace to the “intensive heating up of the sweating
room” mode for a short period of time.
High quality steam is obtained by supplying water to the steam generating unit. From the
dispensing unit water gets into horizontal pipes where preliminary preparation happens (water
transforms into water-steam mixture). Then under the pressure, water-steam mixture comes out of
small holes made along the whole length of horizontal pipes into the most heated layer of heater's
filling. Going from the bottom up, water-steam mixture comes out of the steam pipe and fills the
sweating room with an easy steam. Every stone (total volume of the filling) is involved in the steam
production process, that why the steam comes out nothing else but finely dispersed (invisible) – easy!
Chromium (Cr), as furnace compound, prevents oxygen combustion by metal surfaces of the
furnace!
It is prohibited to cover the furnace with a chamotte with a wall-to-wall cover made of bricks or
natural stones.

FURNACE FOUNDATION
Furnace foundation is an underground structure usually made out of concrete. This
foundation is a main load-bearing element that allows to transfer the load from the installed furnace
to the foundation (ground).
Foundation for the furnace and separately standing chimney is a single-piece reinforced
concrete structure.
4

To install the foundation for the furnace with a brick chimney, you should adhere to the following
guideline:
The foundation must only bear the load of the furnace, that's why in case of furnace and wall
foundations closeness to each other they shouldn't be combined. The distance between two
foundations should be 30-50 mm, so they will be able to move freely in the process of their
settlement.
If all of the conditions, such as climatic conditions, type of soil, mass of the construction (for
example, a furnace with a metal chimney and protective shields made of soapstone would
weight not more than 750 kg), satisfy the requirements it is possible to combine two founda-
tions. In this case, draw special attention to the installation of reinforcement cage and
foundations connecting node.
Foundations' width and length are determined in accordance with overall dimensions of the
furnace plus manufacturing clearance, which takes into account the thickness of the
protective shield and all essential clearances. In some cases, it is needed to add 100 mm
around the perimeter of supporting structure for the floor decking.
To prevent bulging, it is recommended to lay the foundation to the soil frost zone according to
the CP 22.13330.2016 “Soil bases of buildings and structures”. Revised edition of Construction
Directives and Rules 2.02.01-83* (With Amendment No.1, 2, 3).
For example:
For Moscow, where the soil type is clay loam, the depth should be 1320 mm
For Yekaterinburg, where the soil type is clay sand, fine and dust sand, the depth should be
2090 mm
Regardless of the construction, the foundation must be damp-proofed at the top edge in
order to prevent the infiltration of ground waters into furnace' brick constructions. For this
reason, the foundation is laid on two layers of hydraulic insulating material.

During production of the ready-mixed concrete, manufacturer addresses more than one dozen of
parameters and characteristics thereof concrete's quality is higher!
When concrete is mixed on-site (for large volumes of foundation) it ought to be noted that the
interval between pouring shouldn't be longer than 12 hours.
For a time of solidification (up to 22 days) the foundation should be covered with polyethylene
sheeting and, if necessary, irrigated with water in order to avoid sudden water evaporation.

PROTECTIVE HEAT-RETAINING SHIELD
Protective heat-retaining shield retains and preserves excess heat, absorbs direct
radiation of heated furnace walls, prevents getting burns, creates a system of convection canals
which allow regulating the temperature in the sweating room within a given range. The shield made of
natural stones or bricks helps to fully dehumidify sweating and washing rooms.
To install the furnace correctly, it is recommended to follow requirements of the actual manual.

The protective heat-retaining shield retains excess heat inside the furnace, herewith not
obstructing the required amount of warmth to penetrate through in order to maintain the tempera-
ture of the sweating room within the given range.
As a material of the protective heat-retaining shield, we recommend you to use following
materials:
PROTECTIVE HEAT-RETAINING SHIELD
MADE OF BRICKS
Pic. 5 The example of the furnace with a separately standing chimney
Following types of chimneys shall be applied:
Single-circuit stainless chimney with a brick cover
“Sandwich” type chimney
Solid ceramic furnace brick - «LODE» (Latvia)
Solid ceramic furnace brick - «Gdjel»
Solid ceramic furnace brick - «Kirovo-Chepetskiy»
·Solid ceramic furnace brick – «Vitebskiy» (1 factory workshop) Belarus
To make a protective shield we use ceramic bricks with dimensions of 250х120х65, the
thickness of binding seam should be 5-9 mm.
1
18

As a binding solution, you should use clay puddle or ready-to-use furnace solution made of red clay:
Furnace solution Borovichi (“СЭВ” company)
Furnace solution from Kostroma (“Макаровыхъ” company)
other binding solutions that do not contain any harmfull impurities and can be used in
conditions of high temperatures
It is prohibited to install the brick cover of the chimney without inner metal pipe!
Every wall should be connected to each other. The cover is installed directly on the
prepared foundation. The shield in the sweating room should be 30-50 mm higher than the furnace
top lid (not including steam or smoke pipes).
It is not recommended to make the distance between stiening bars and protective shield more
than 30 mm as it would cause inecient warm-up of the cover and longer heating-up of the
banya.
Lower convection doors are installed at the minimum distance from the floor. Install convection
doors on every side of protective shield in order to achieve maximum convection eect.
Minimum recommended area for lower convection doors is 500 cm and 600 cm for upper ones.
The protective heat shield in the front of the furnace should be as high as the full height of the
room.
Around and across the heat-control shutter stem, it is required to make a 5 mm manufacturing air
clearance to compensate temperature expansions.
To cover the combustion flue or the heater, utilize two 50х50 mm iron angles.
It is recommended to reinforce the brick cover with 2-3 mm steel wire every 4-5 tiers.
To cover the top of the furnace with bricks, place 50х50 mm iron angles on side walls of the
protective shield and put bricks on them, make notches in corners where furnace components
are
While doing brick covering, make convection canals at the top of protective shield to ensure hot
air output.
When installing the furnace with a brick cover and covered top, decorate the top with stones (lay
50-70 kg). When doing so, pick bigger stones in comparison with the width of the gap between
the furnace and the shield. In this case, convection flows would go through clearances between
stones.
