If the stove or the sauna fail to work as you think they should,
go through the following check list. First, to make sure you have
chosen the correct stove for your sauna’s requirements, look
through the stove choosing instructions on our internet pages at
www.kastor.fi -> “woodburning” -> “select your stove”.

Is the connecting pipe attached tightly both to the stove
and the chimney?
There must be no air leaks.
Is the stove’s other flue opening closed tightly with the cap
that came with the stove?
Is the flame plate in the upper part of the stove clean of ash?
Is the connecting pipe between stove and chimney clear of
ash?
Is the chimney fully open?
In need of sweeping, stuffed with snow, winter cap on etc.
Is the chimney intact?
(Cracks, weathered)
Is the draft height (chimney height) sufficient with regard
to the environment?
Nearby trees, a steep hill etc. require more than
3.5 metres height from the chimney floor.
Is the chimney’s size correct?
At least a half brick wide or, depending on stove
model, a round chimney of 100 or 120 mm.
THE STOVE STONES DO NOT HEAT UP SUFFICIENTLY
Has the stove been fired sufficiently?
You should burn at least one compartment full of split,
dry logs according to instructions.
Too much draft?
The flames reach into the connecting pipe, which is
red hot, although the lower end of the stove within the
mantle is not red. See chapter 3.3 about draft
adjustment and heat output.
Is the draft too weak?
See chapter 3.3 about draft adjustment
correct amount of stones?
The stones should reach up to the edge of the stone
compartment at the edges and be heaped up only by
half a stone in the middle.
Are the stones packed too tight?
The stones need to be stacked in such a way that
there is enough air between them. See chapter 2.2
“Stones and their arrangement”.
Are the stones good quality and the correct size?
Suitable stones are peridotite or dunite of a length of
over 10 cm and not too flat.

Are the stones packed too tight?
The stones need to be stacked in such a way that
there is enough air between them. See chapter 2.2
“Stones and their arrangement”.
Is the stove too big for the sauna?
Keep the ventilation valve open to remove excess
heat, which gives the stones time to warm up as well.
This will extend the heating period slightly.
Are you heating the sauna correctly?
Read chapter 3 of these instructions carefully.
