3. Installation and
preheating of the sauna
heater
3.1 Preheating
Before use and arranging the stones, the sauna heater
must be heated to remove the protective agents. Any pro-
tective lms and stickers must have been removed before.
Preheating shall be carried out on a non-combustible
surface and outside, since paint emits harmful solvent
vapours and smoke during the heating. Use of a connec-
tion pipe included in the delivery of the sauna heater in the
upper joint (see item 1 of the attached drawing) improves
draft during preheating. 1–2 reboxes of wood are suf-
cient for preheating. After preheating and before arranging
the stones loose cover material should be removed from
the stone compartment of the sauna heater with a steel
brush. In case the external surface of the sauna heater is
painted, it should not be rubbed or wiped before the rst
heating. The paint of the sauna heater will achieve suf-
cient strength only after the rst heating. Do not create
steam during the rst heating.
NB! If the sauna heater is equipped with a water tank
please check before preheating that the water tank faucet
and safety plug are installed and that the tank is filled with
clean water.
3.2 Regulation of the height
The legs of the sauna heater are adjustable and can be
used for levelling the sauna heater and for adjusting the
height. There must be an air gap of at least 25 mm between
the sauna heater and the oor. Use a spirit level to check if
the sauna heater is level.
3.3 Connection with the smoke flue
The sauna heater can be connected to the smoke ue from
the back or top of the sauna heater. Seal the unused open-
ing with the supplied cover. The sauna heater comes with
a short smoke ue connection pipe, which can be used to
connect the smoke ue of the sauna heater from the back.
If the connection with the smoke ue is done from the
above, Kota connective ue or Kota smoke ue must be
used. In case of connection from the above, a Kota smoke
ue tank for heating water or a Kota stone basket can be
installed around the connective ue.
Do not push the connective ue too deep in the smoke
ue, because this would hinder the draft. Any leaks in the
connective ue also reduce the draft; therefore, the con-
nections must be sealed with reproof sealing material.
Leakage in the connective flue cause combustion gas-
es formed in the sauna heater to ignite in the flue. The
connection joint of the ue and the sauna heater must be
25 mm. The diameter of the connective ue of the sauna
heater and the height from the oor are shown in clause
1.1.
Please consider with the clearance distance of the modular
smoke ue, see the manufacturer’s instructions.

3.4 Changing of the opening direction of the
firebox door
Figure 4. Open the door and raise the hinge pin up (1)
so it comes out of the bottom hinge barrel. Hold onto
the door securely and turn the bottom part of the pin
and turn the bottom end of the pin up enough (2) that
you can pull the pin down (3) and the pin and door
come apart.
Figure 5. On the side of the door with the handle, undo
the fastening screw of the handle so that the handle
comes loose. Turn the handle around and reattach the
locking screw.
