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!
2.3. Stove base
The stove must be installed horizontally, on a stable and unmoveable non-flammable or fireproofed base.
For this, you may either use Kastor’s separately sold protective stove base or a concrete sheet with a
minimum thickness of at least 60 mm with a slight incline towards the back and a smooth surface.
The front corners of the stove are equipped with adjustment screws, with which it can be
straightened horizontally on an inclined. The adjustable legs are delivered in the equipment bag
in the stove’s fire compartment. Screw them into place and adjust as needed.
We do not recommend installing the stove directly on a tiled floor, as its moisture sealing, tile
glue etc. may contain components that are not heat resistant.
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 with a cast concrete base
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 100 kg.
2.3.2. Installation on tiled and waterproof floor
The Kastor protective stove base is sufficient, a separate fronting plate is not necessary.
2.4. Safety distances and protections
2.4.1. Safety distances
For stone walls, the safety distances are 50 mm from the stove’s outer surfaces, preferably 100
mm to achieve sufficient air circulation. This means the stove will fit a niche of stove width +
200mm (i.e. for the KS 20 that is 490 mm + 200mm = 690mm).
The safety distance to any flammable materials is 500mm from the stove’s outer surfaces. In
front of the stove, due to heat radiation and the working and maintenance space needed, 1,000
mm is a reasonable distance, but 500 mm is sufficient to ensure safety, if the panel in front of it
does not heat up beyond 85
o C during the burn-in.
The flue pipe starts off from the top of the stove with a non-insulated connection pipe, its required
safety distances are 1,000 mm in all directions and 1,200 mm above.
The safe distance between a fitted water tank and the nearest flammable material is 150 mm.
These safety distances can be reduced by using protectors according to instructions given below.
These will enable you to install the stove in a space just 1,100 mm wide (I.e. for KS 20, the width
needed is 490mm + 250mm = 740mm).
