USAGE
Lighting a fire in a wood-burning sauna heater
Only natural kindling and dry hardwood or softwood should be used
for lighting a fire in a wood-burning sauna heater. The moisture con-
tent of the wood should be less than 20%. Good firewood consists of
split wood with a diameter of around 5 cm, length of approx. 33 cm
and weight approx. 0.5 kg. Stack the wood loosely into the firebox
and light the fire from the top. A calm flame is a sign of suitable
draft. You can adjust the amount of draft with the ash drawer. If
the sauna heater makes a loud humming noise while heating, you
should close the ash drawer more. When the flame is more even,
the stones heat better and the flue does not get overheated. Low
pressure may make lighting a fire in the firebox dicult; in that case,
the sauna door can be held open for a moment and the ash drawer
kept a bit further ajar until the firebox is properly lit.
Liquid fuel, cardboard or milk cartons must not be used for lighting
fires. For lighting a fire, we recommend birch bark or firestarting
blocks, such as Burner bags of paran.
The sauna door must be closed during heating. When the desired
temperature (recommendation: 70–80 degrees Celsius) has been
reached, a small fire can still be kept in the firebox to maintain the
temperature of the sauna heater. Practice makes perfect in this as in
anything else.
Empty the ashes from the sauna heater after each use to ensure
that the fire grate/grates or air dampers are not covered by ash. Ash
shortens their service life considerably. See detailed instructions on
fire grates and their maintenance in the instructions of the sauna
heater in question.
Lighting
The end customer is responsible for connecting the sauna to
electricity. If there is no need in the sauna for additional electricity
for other reasons, such as an electric sauna heater, the electricity
needed for the sauna lighting can also be provided with an approved
electric cable reel. The light socket is ready for use and can be found
under the sauna.. You can power the lights by plugging them into
the socket. The lights are always on when they are plugged in, there
is no separate switch. The LED lights only consume a small amount
of electricity, which means that mood lighting can be on even if the
sauna is not in use.
Preheating before using the sauna
Before the first heating, it is a good to wipe the dust o the sauna
with a moist cloth or spray water with a garden hose, for example
(Make sure that the sauna dries properly if you don’t use it after
washing).
If you use detergents, use environmentally friendly and sauna-friend-
ly substances, such as Kirami Biopesu. Also check that there are
enough stones in the heater according to the instructions and that
the hearth plate is in place and that there is nothing flammable near
the stove (eg textiles must not be dried on or in the immediate vici-
nity of the heater). Always remember to guard the heater and keep
small children or animals away from the heated heater alone.
Sauna bathing
The most important thing while sauna bathing is to take care of
hydration, i.e. drinking water. Even though sauna bathing is benefici-
al to your health, you must always listen to your body. Suitable heat
and steam in the sauna is a combination of the right temperature,
humidity and ventilation. In Finland, sauna bathing at a temperature
of 70–80 degrees Celsius is normal. The heat should nevertheless
reach at least 70 degrees to kill any possible bacteria.
Avoid sauna bathing with babies less than six months old, because
their heat tolerance has not developed yet. You can start taking
babies of six months of age or older to the sauna for short periods of
time while staying on the lowest benches and not throwing water on
the rocks. If you have an illness, always ask the doctor for recom-
mendations on sauna bathing.
Please note that the sauna heater and its parts get hot when the
heater is heated. Always use protective gloves when touching parts
of the heater. Move carefully in the sauna, because the floor and
benches of the sauna may be slippery

KÄYTTÖ
Puukiukaan sytytys
Puukiukaan sytytykseen kannattaa käyttää vain luonnollisia sytyk-
keitä ja kuivia lehti- tai havupuita. Puun kosteuspitoisuuden tulisi
olla alle 20%. Hyvä polttopuu on halkaistu puu, jonka halkaisija on n.
5 cm, pituus n. 33 cm ja paino n. 0,5 kg. Lado puut pesään väljästi
ja sytytä päältä. Rauhallinen liekki on merkki sopivasta vedosta.
Tuhkalaatikolla voi säätää vedon määrää. Jos kiuas humisee kovasti
lämmittäessä, on syytä pistää tuhkalaatikkoa enemmän kiinni. Ta-
saisemmalla liekillä kivet lämpiävät paremmin ja hormi ei kuumene
liikaa. Matalapaineen takia voi olla vaikea sytyttää pesää, tällöin sau-
nan ovea voi pitää hetken auki sekä tuhkaluukkua hieman enemmän
raollaan, kunnes pesä syttyy kunnolla.
Nestemäistä polttoainetta, pahvia, maitopurkkeja ei saa käyttää
sytytykseen. Suosittelemme sytytykseen tuohta tai sytytyspaloja
esim. Burner-parafiinipusseja.
Lämmityksen aikana saunan oven tulee olla kiinni. Kun haluttu läm-
pötila on saavutettu, suositus 70-80 astetta, voidaan pesässä pitää
edelleen pientä tulta kiukaan lämpötilan ylläpitämiseksi. Harjoittelu
tekee mestarin tässäkin asiassa.
Tyhjennä tuhkat kiukaasta jokaisen käyttökerran jälkeen, jotta arina/
arinat tai ilmapellit eivät jää tuhkan sisään. Tuhka lyhentää niiden
käyttöikää huomattavasti. Katso kyseisen kiukaan ohjeistuksesta
tarkemmat ohjeet arinoista ja niiden huollosta.
