4.1.

4.2.

The Kastor Chimney Set has been designed for use only as a
flue channel for the flue gases emitted by fireplaces that are
used according to regulations. Emissions that differ from the
regulations (e.g. heat, pollutants) may damage the chimney.
To prevent damage to the flue channel, avoid burning plastics
or material that includes plastic (possible creation of hydro-
chloric acid, for instance). Various glues may also contain
plastic or other pollutants, which is why glued pieces must not
be burned in the fireplace.

Always check that the fireplace and its accessories are in a
condition that ensures clean flue gas. The condition of the
chimney must be checked regularly, i.e. once a month!

In addition to these instructions and official regulations, the
instructions given by the fireplace’s manufacturer must also
be heeded, as well as the limits set by the output of fireplaces
to various types of chimneys. The temperature of flue gases as
they exit the fireplace must not exceed 600°C/1112°F for more
than short periods. Sauna stoves can at times produce flue
gases that are this hot.

It must also be noted that according to the building code (E3),
chimneys must not have horizontal draughts.

In exceptional wind conditions, such as on outer islands, hori-
zontal rain may enter the chimney. After such circumstances,
the sauna stove must be checked for water. If necessary, dry it
by holding the stove’s door and ash receptacle open.

The matters presented in these instructions are valid only for
parts manufactured by Helo Oy. Helo Oy does not take respon-
sibility for cases in which parts from other manufacturers were
attached to our systems.

If anything is unclear, we urge you to inquire about them from
your local fire inspector or the manufacturer.

According to official regulations chimney fires, even extin-
guished ones, must always be reported to the fire department.

The chimney must be inspected after every chimney fire due
to the high temperatures in it.

Warning: Neglecting these instructions or official regulations
may lead to damage in the chimney and fires or other hazard-
ous situations.
