Installation instructions
Important.
Do not use any floor coverings under the stove if they are made of in-
flammable material such as wood, plastic, etc. Ceramic tiles are ideal
for use in a sauna. The area under the stove may suffer discoloration,
even on non-flammable flooring or joint material. No compensation will
be paid for discoloration or damage to flooring or the sauna walls. The
distance between the rear of the stove and the cabin wall depends on
the design (wall mounting). The stove must be connected to the electri-
city supply before it is mounted on the wall holder.
Installing the sauna stove
• A ffix the feet on the rear wall of the stove the screws supplied (4

• F asten the bottom panel to the inner sheath with 4 self-tapping screws
3.9 x 9.5.
• T hread the mains cable into the terminal box through the hole provi-
ca. 6–14
ded for it.
• A fter making the electrical connection of the mains cable, close the
cover on the terminal box again (with the spacer on the outside).
• P osition the sauna stove in front of the air intake opening. Secure the
wall bracket to the wall of the cabin using the wood screws supplied.
Insert the stone grate (see description entitled "Placing the sauna
stones on the stone grate", section entitled "Cleaning and care").
• F or the installation of the sauna stove ensure that the vertical distance
between the top of the sauna stove and the ceiling of the sauna cabin
is at least 110 cm and the horizontal (lateral) distance between the
stove and the wall of the cabin is at least 7 cm. The distance between
the bottom of the stove and the floor depends on the design of the
stove (adjustable feet). However, it should be ensured that the stove
is not placed on a floor made of highly inflammable material (wood,
plastic flooring, etc.). Ideally ceramic tiles or the like should be used in
the sauna. The distance between the rear wall of the stove and the wall
of the cabin also depends on the design (wall bracket).
• T he distance between the stove safety grille or the bench and other
inflammable materials from the oven must be at least 7 cm. The height
of the safety grille must be equal to the height of the stove at the front.
