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.
Each corner of the stove is equipped with adjustment screws,
with which it can be straightened horizontally on an inclined
floor and fine tuned vertically to align it with the chimney
connection. 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 compo-
nents that are not heat resistant.
Fireproofing of the floor on flammable material
400 mm in front of the stove
200 mm to the sides
250 mm behind the stove
or, at the sides and back up to a fireproofed wall. (Illustration 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 (220 lbs).
2.3.2. INSTALLATION ON TILED AND WATERPROOF FLOOR
The Kastor protective stove base is sufficient, a separate front-
ing plate is not necessary.
2.4. SAFETY DISTANCES AND PROTECTIONS
2.4.1. SAFETY DISTANCES
Kastor’s KT-S and KT-H series sauna stoves have a double man-
tle construction on sides and back, which keeps the temperature
of the outer mantle below 100 ºC/212 ºF. The front panel is hotter,
and a lot of heat radiation passes through the door’s glass.
For stone walls, the safety distances are constant at all
heights, 50 mm from the stove’s outer surfaces, preferably 100
mm to achieve sufficient air circulation.
A fire wool insulation layer of at least 50 mm is installed be-
tween the stove’s extension neck and the wall.
Below the stone compartment, the safe distance to flammable
material is 200 mm to the sides and 250 mm in back. Above
the stone compartment, the safety distance is 500 mm due
to the heat of the stones (a maximum of 350 ºC/662 ºF). 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 (Illustrations 2.4.1.a and 2.4.1.b).
If the flue pipe starts off from the top of the stove with an unin-
sulated connection pipe, the required safety distance is 1,000
mm in all directions and 1,200 mm above.
The safe distance between a fitted water tank and the nearest
flammable material above it is 150 mm.
These safety distances can be reduced by using protectors ac-
cording to instructions given below. These will enable you to in-
stall the stove in a space just 1,100 mm wide (stove width 520
mm + safety distances on both sides 280 mm + 280 mm).
When the distance from the stove upper surface is at least
1,200 mm, the ceiling does not require protection.
