fire compartment. Continue the burn-in until there are no more fumes rising from the
stove.
•
Once the stove has cooled down after the burn-in, move it into the sauna.
•
See to it that the sauna is well ventilated during the first couple of heating.
•
Side panels can be loosened from the mantle if necessary, they are fastened with bolts at
the top and bottom.
2.2. Stones and their arrangement
Use peridotite or dunite or darkish natural stones with diameters of over 10 cm. always wash the
stones before installing them. They must not be stacked too tight or heaped up – arrange them
so that plenty of air can pass between them to warm the upper stones, as well. The maximum
stone capacity is about Saga 20 150 kg and Saga 27 185 kg.
Cover the sides of the fire compartment fully with stones so that the safety distance to the side
remains at the minimum.
For the stove’s proper functioning it is essential that the hot air circulates between the stones to
heat them quickly. If the stones are too small or improperly arranged, you will heat the sauna
instead of the stones!
2.3. Stove base
The stove must be installed horizontally, on a stable and unmoveable non-flammable or fireproofed base.
The stove's legs are equipped with adjustment screws, with which it can be straightened
horizontally on an inclined surface. The adjustable legs are in the equipment bag in the stove’s
fire compartment. Screw them into place and adjust as needed.
Fireproofing of the floor on flammable material:
400 mm in front of the stove
250 mm to the sides
250 mm behind the stove
(Or, at the sides and back up to a fireproofed wall; picture 2.3.).
2.3.1. Installation on wooden floor
On a wooden floor we recommend installation on a 60 mm thick, smoothly cast concrete slab,
which rises towards the back, with risers to provide a ventilation slit between it and the floor. The
stove is then straightened by adjusting the legs.
ATTENTION! Always check the carrying capacity of the wooden floor, as the loaded stove weighs more
than 250 kg.
2.3.2. Installation on tiled and waterproof floor
It is not recommended to install the stove directly on a tiled floor because among other things moisture
barriers and plate glues may contain substances vulnerable to warmth. Use for example the above-
mentioned concrete slab.
2.4. Safety distances and protections
2.4.1. Safety distances
ATTENTION! Since this is a stove with a flue outlet on the top, the central factor in determining
safety distances is the distance required by the connection pipe and flue channel.
Safety distances for the non-insulated connection pipe are 1000mm in all direction and 1200mm
above it.
This makes the stove's own safety distances irrelevant. See Picture 2.4.1.
These safety distances can be reduced by installing insulation according to chapter 2.4.2.
