insulated pipe section.

Continue from the chimney valve with an insulated pipe. The insulated pipe section must
start at least 400 mm beneath the ceiling. Follow the chimney's installation and usage
instructions.


Remember to keep all safety distances to flammable and non-flammable materials named above.
Helo Oy does not guarantee the suitability and functioning of other manufacturers’ factory-built

Pull the pin downwards out of the upper hole to release the door. Remember the
washers.

Turn the door into the desired position.

Slip the hinge pin first into the sleeve's upper hole and the washers on top of the sleeve
onto the pin. (The risers on the pin must be at the lower end.)

Slip the door's upper hole onto the hinge pin above the sleeve.

Finally, guide the hinge pin into the lower holes of the sleeve and the door.

2.9. General directions to prevent damage

When you bring the stove into the sauna, before you add the stones, burn a full load of wood in a
well ventilated sauna to burn off the last protective substances and harden the coating.

Please read and follow the instructions below:

Remember to leave free air space to aid the burning process.

Do not heat immediately at full blast, if it is cold. The brick chimney might suffer damage.

Do not throw water directly at the glass door.

The stove’s operating life shortens, if it is constantly heated to a red glow.

The stove’s working life will be shortened significantly, if it is subjected to salt water. Note
that in close proximity to the sea even well water may contain salt.

Factors influencing the stove’s useful life are, among other things, how well its size is suited to the
sauna, the fuel used, how often it is used, failure to follow these instructions and general
carefulness.

Kastor stoves have been very carefully designed and tested. On the basis of our studies, we at
Helo Oy know that if the stove suffers damage in a very short time (e.g. the walls split or burn
through, the top burns through etc.), the stove has not been used according to instructions. Helo
Oy does not take responsibility for damage through failure to follow the user’s manual.

3. Using the stove

cardboard or paper in this stove. Fluid fuels may not be used even while starting the fire, since it
