2.1. PREPARING FOR USE AND bURN-IN
Install door handle (picture 2.1.1. and 2.1.2.). •
Install VK-20 water tank, if any, according to its separate •
installation instructions.
Place the stove outdoors on a non-flammable surface
•

– tank, if any, filled with water
Remove any decals and protective plastic sheeting.
•
Check that the grate and air guide plate (see chapter 2.8.) •
are in place.
Install the connection pipe delivered with the package into
•
the backmost flue opening on top of the sauna stove.
burn-in:
• The purpose of the burn-in is to remove out of
doors any flammable protective coating substances and to
harden the stove’s coating. Burn a few full loads of wood in
the 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 heatings.
2.2. STONES AND THEIR ARRANGEMENT
Use peridotite or dunite or darkish natural stones with diame-
ters 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.
Fill the stone compartment up to the edge, with flat stones in
upright positions (Picture 2.2.). In the KH-20 and KO-20
models, the maximum stone capacity is about 60 kg.
By adjusting stone size, amount and adding other types of
stone you can balance the steam consistency to suit the
sauna and your preferences. Since these are highly individual,
we cannot give a general rule of thumb – you will find the right
mix by trial and error.
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!
