•
Light the ignition helpers from the top.
•
Close the door and leave the ash compartment door open by 3 cm.
•
Once the fire has burned for 5–10 minutes, the burning can be adjusted by closing the
ash door to 0.5–2 cm. Restrict excessive draught with the chimney valve, if necessary.
Usually, this will prepare the sauna for your bath in about 60–70 minutes. (Adding firewood may
be necessary due to big stone amount)
3.3.3. Continuing the heating with a second load
Depending on how much you bathe, frost outside etc., you may need to continue the heating with several
loads.
Once the first load has turned to embers (in about 40–60 minutes, if the draught is right), place sturdy logs
lengthwise in the fire compartment. If you are not going into the sauna immediately after adding the wood,
leave the ash door gaping by a few millimetres. Now the fire should remain just right for a long time. When
you do go into the sauna, you can add a few logs, if necessary.
4. Maintenance
4.1. Cleaning the stove
The stove’s surface can be cleaned with a mild cleaning fluid detergent solution by wiping down
with a soft, moist rag.
The glass doors are cleaned with Kastor Noki Pois cleaning fluid, which is available in hardware
stores.
4.2. Ash removal
Excessive ash shortens the grate’s lifespan and weakens the burning. Remove the ash while it is cold,
always before the next heating, using a metal container to avoid a fire hazard.
4.3. Sweeping
The doors in the stone area of the stove are soot hatches (covered with a cap).
The inner parts of the stove are cleaned through the openings covered with a cap 2–6 times a
year, depending on the use.
If the stove has a chimney starting from the top, soot drops from the chimney to the stove from
where it must be removed.
4.4. Removal and cleaning of the stove's glass
The glass door must be treated with care. Do not slam it shut or uses it to push logs into the
stove. The glass doors are cleaned with Kastor’s Noki Pois cleaning fluid.
