2.8. AIR GUIDE PLATE
In the back part of the stove’s fire compartment is a remov-
able air guide plate. (Illustration 2.8.1) The stove must not be
used without the guide plate! If it gets worn out through use,
twisted or otherwise damaged, it must be replaced.
Replacing the air guide plate
Remove the grate. Install the air guide plate in the fire com-
partment’s back (beneath the sauna side door) so that its sup-
port part is on the grate support. Check the plate’s condition
regularly. (Illustration 2.8.2).
2.9. GENERAL DAMAGE PREVENTION DIRECTIONS
When you bring the stove into the sauna, before you add the
stones, burn a full load of wood in a well ventilated sauna to
burn off the last protective substances and harden the coating.
Once the outdoor burn-in has been performed, the stones ar-
ranged and the water tank, if installed, filled, your Kastor stove
is ready for use. Make sure that the air guide plate is in place
as shown in Illustration 2.8.2.
Please read and follow the instructions below:
• Remember to leave at least 10 cm of free air space as
measured from the flame plate downwards to aid the
burning process.
• Do not heat immediately at full blast, if it is cold. The brick
chimney might suffer damage.
• Do not throw water directly at the glass door.
• The stove’s operating life shortens, if it is constantly heated
to a red glow.
• The stove’s working life will be shortened significantly, if it
is subjected to salt water. Note that in close proximity to the
sea even well water may contain salt.
• Factors influencing the stove’s useful life are, among
other things, how well its size is suited to the sauna, the
fuel used, how often it is used, failure to follow these
instructions and general carefulness.
• Kastor stoves have been very carefully designed and
tested. On the basis of our studies, we at Kastor Oy know
that if the stove suffers damage in a very short time (e.g.
the walls split or burn through, the top burns through etc.),
the stove has not been used according to instructions.
Kastor Oy does not take responsibility for damage through
failure to follow the user’s manual.
