These instructions are intended for the owner of the sauna or the person
responsible for its maintenance, as well as for the electrician who installs the
sauna stove. The electrician will give these instructions to the owner of the
sauna or the person responsible for its maintenance after the stove has been
installed successfully. The owner of the sauna stove or the person responsible for
its maintenance must store these instructions for the entire lifespan of the sauna
stove, because changes may be made to the components. Keeping the original
instructions ensures that the circuit diagrams and the connection methods used
during maintenance works are intended for this particular sauna stove.
The owner of the sauna must read these instructions carefully before first
using the sauna stove. The instructions contain full operating and maintenance
instructions, installation instructions, a troubleshooting guide and the warranty
terms for the sauna stove and its parts.
The electrician must ensure that the device has been disconnected from the
power supply before performing any installation or maintenance work. The
fitter should avoid touching the internal components and integrated circuits of the
device unnecessarily. Touching can result in a discharge of static electricity,
which may damage the device or one of its electrical components. The electrician
must ensure that the device is grounded correctly and that all connections have
been completed according to the instructions.
The only purpose of this sauna stove is to heat the sauna to a suitable sauna
temperature. The sauna stove must not be used for any other purpose. The
sauna stove must never be covered, and the person using the sauna should always
check the sauna stove before heating it, to ensure that there is nothing flammable
or anything that does not belong to a sauna either on top or beside the sauna
stove.

2.6 –DIRECTIONS FOR USING THE SAUNA
•Heat the sauna stove once before first use, as the protective substances in the new stones may give off odours while
the sauna stove is heating. Ensure there is sufficient ventilation After the heating is completed, open the sauna
window (if applicable).
•Make sure that the sauna stove has not been covered, and that there is nothing in the sauna that does not belong
there (laundry, children’s toys, etc.)
•The recommended temperature if 55 –70 degrees.
•The sauna stove heats to a suitable sauna temperature in approx. 25 –80 minutes, depending on the size of the sauna
stove, the size of the sauna, and the ventilation.
•User water that is suitable for domestic use when throwing water on the sauna stove. The use of seawater is
forbidden.
•Do not throw water on the sauna stove if there are people next to it, as the water splashing from the sauna stove and
the steam it creates are scalding hot.
•Move carefully in the sauna, as the floors may be slippery.
•The manufacturer recommends heating the sauna stove until hot, and turning it off at the beginning of the sauna
session. It will spare the resistors considerably if cold water is not thrown on a resistor glowing red-hot. The mass
of stones will keep the sauna hot for a long time, and “once-off heating” enables to have a sauna session of about
20 –30 min before the sauna stove has to be switched on again.

4.4- PILING STONES IN THE SAUNA STOVE
Preparations:
1. Ensure that the sauna stove is correctly connected and that the resistors definitely heat up. Do not pile stones in the sauna stove if the
sauna stove does not work fully!
2. The benches should be installed before the stones are piled in the sauna stove, particularly if the sauna stove is integrated through the
benches.
3. Place the sauna stove in its intended location, considering the safety distances. Straighten the sauna stove, using the adjustment feet.
4. For the installation, you will need a spirit level, protective gloves, 70 - 150 kg of rocks with a diameter of 5 - 10 cm (depending on the
sauna stove model, see section 5.2), specifically rocks intended for use in the sauna stove, for example olivine diabase, olivine or
peridot. Wash the rocks, if necessary.
5. In the installation illustrations, the parts of the sauna stove have been rendered in different colours and transparent, to make the
instructions clearer.
4.4.1 STONE PILING STAGES RUUTU L:
1. Make sure the stones are not tumbled on the sauna stove bottom. Do not wedge the resistors. Ensure that the resistors remain vertical
throughout the entire stoning process. Do not pack the stones tightly. Ensure that there are stones also between the resistors.
2. If you have reached about 50mm above the bend in the middle of the resistors, drop the first resistor plate on top of the stones. This
plate will help the resistors stay upright, and prevent them from moving as the stones sink.
3. Continue piling stones in the sauna stove until you have reached about 60mm from the highest section of the lower part, and put the
upper part in its place.
4. Pile the sauna stove with stones until you have reached approx. 50mm below the highest point of the resistors.
5. Lower the upper resistor plate on the stones. This plate will help the resistors stay upright, and prevent them from moving as the stones
sink. If necessary, install the sauna stove’s wall brackets in accordance with SECTION 4.5.
6. Finish piling stones in the sauna stove. The stones on the top should be tightly packed. You should put large stones on top.

4.4.2 -STONE PILING STAGES KLUBI AND RUUTU C:
1. Make sure the stones are not tumbled on the sauna stove bottom. Do not wedge the resistors. Ensure that the resistors
remain vertical throughout the entire stoning process. Do not pack the stones tightly. Ensure that there are stones also
between the resistors.
2. If you have reached about 50mm above the bend in the middle of the resistors, drop the first resistor plate on top of the
stones. This plate will help the resistors stay upright, and prevent them from moving as the stones sink.
3. Pile the sauna stove with stones until you have reached approx. 50mm below the highest point of the resistors.
4. Lower the upper resistor plate on the stones. This plate will help the resistors stay upright, and prevent them from moving
as the stones sink. If necessary, install the sauna stove’s wall brackets in accordance with SECTION 4.5.
5. Finish piling stones in the sauna stove. The stones on the top should be tightly packed. You should put large stones on
top.
When piling stones in the sauna stove, always ensure that the
resistors are straight. Resistors that are turning outwards can
be a fire hazard. Resistors that are turning inwards can
burn through prematurely. If necessary, attach the sauna
stove to the wall with the supporting brackets included in
the package. A sauna stove with too few stones is a fire
hazard! Covering the sauna stove is a fire hazard! The
uppermost layer of the stones must be as tight as
possible, the resistors must not be visible. We
recommend that the sauna stove stones are re-piled on a
yearly basis! Always replace burned and cracked stones
with new ones. If you use the sauna every day, it is
recommended that the stones are piled again every 3
mths. The use of ceramic stones other than (KERKES) is
forbidden. Other ceramic stones may cause the resistors
to break down prematurely.
