GENERAL

Choose the stove model carefully. A stove with too low output must be heated longer and more intensely, which will shorten the stove’s life span.
Please note that non-insulated wall and ceiling surfaces (such as brick, glass, tile and concrete surfaces) increase the output requirement of the stove. For every square meter of such wall and ceiling surface you should calculate an additional 1.2 m3 volume. If the sauna walls are made of massive log, the volume must be multiplied by 1.5. Examples:

• A 10 m3 sauna room with a brick wall 2 m high and 2 m wide is equivalent to a sauna room of approximately 15 m3.
• A 10 m3 sauna room with a glass door is equivalent to a sauna room of approximately 12 m3.
• A 10 m3 sauna room with massive log walls is equivalent to a sauna room of approximately 15 m3.

The dealer or our factory representative can assist you in choosing the stove if needed. You can also visit our website www.harviasauna.com for further details.

Burning

The stove has a special grate, which improves the burning process: the combustion air channels (1) of the fire chamber lead part of the air above the fire to the upper part of the fire chamber (figure 2). This way, the flue gases also burn and generate heat. Combustion air channels are pushed next to stoves’ rear wall. There should be 4 holes visible from firegrate (2).
Also the burning material ( 2.3.) and ignition method ( 2.5.) significantly affect the burning efficiency and the flue gas emissions.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Read the instructions carefully before using the stove.

Warnings

• Staying in the hot sauna for long periods of time makes the body temperature rise, which may be dangerous.
• Keep away from the stove when it is hot. The stones and outer surface of the stove may burn your skin.
• Never throw water on the stones when there are people near the stove, because hot steam may burn their skin.
• Keep children away from the stove.
• Do not let young, handicapped or ill people bathe in the sauna on their own.
• Consult your doctor about any health-related limitations to bathing.
• Consult your child welfare clinic about taking little babies to the sauna.
• Be very careful when moving in the sauna, as the platform and floors may be slippery.
• Never go to a hot sauna if you have taken alcohol, strong medicines or narcotics.
• Never sleep in a hot sauna.
• Sea air and a humid climate may corrode the metal surfaces of the stove.
• Do not hang clothes to dry in the sauna, as this may cause a risk of fire.

Preparing the Stove for Use

Perform the first heating procedure before taking the stove in use. The purpose of the procedure is to burn off protective paint from the stove body. This will cause the stove body to emit smoke.

1. If possible, heat the stove body outdoors until it stops emitting smoke. Install smoke pipes (if any) for draught. Let the stove body cool. Remove leftover paint mechanically e.g. with a wire brush and a vacuum cleaner.
2. Install the stove according to installation instructions. Place the stones into the stove ( 2.4.).
3. Heat the sauna to a normal bathing temperature. You should ensure good ventilation in the sauna room as the stove body may still emit smoke and smell. When the smoking stops, the stove is ready for normal use

Burning Material

Dry wood is the best material for heating the stove. Dry chopped firewood clinks when it is knocked together with another piece. The moisture of the wood has a significant impact on how clean the burning is as well as on the efficiency of the stove. You can start the fire with birch bark or newspapers.
The thermal value of wood differs from one type of wood to another. For example, you must burn 15 % less beech than birch to obtain the same heat quantity. If you burn large amounts of wood, which has a high thermal value, the life span of the stove will shorten!

Do not burn the following materials in the stove:

• Burning materials that have a high thermal value (such as chipboard, plastic, coal, brickets, pellets)
• Painted or impregnated wood
• Waste (such as PVC plastic, textiles, leather, rubber, disposable diapers)
• Garden waste (such as grass, leaves)
• Liquid fuel

Sauna Stones

• The stones should be 10­15 cm in diameter.
• Only proper stones meant for the specific purpose should be used as sauna stones. Peridotite, olivine-dolerite and olivine are suitable stone types. Stones found in nature may contain harmful substances, such as iron pyrite, and therefore should not be used.
• Wash off dust from the stones before piling them into the stove.

Piling of the sauna stones:

1. Align the steel frame and the stove body.
   Place a few stones between the stove body and steel frame so that the steel frame will not move during the placement of the stones.

2. Cover the stove body with stones. Place the stones in a dense layer between the stove body and steel frame. Direct heat radiation from the uncovered stove body can cause the surrounding structures to heat up to dangerous temperatures even outside the safety distances. Use stones that fit easily between the steel frame and the stove body.

3. Fill the upper part of the steel frame with stones. Place the stones sparsely. Do not form a high heap of stones above the frame.

4. Make sure that the stove body is not visible behind the stones after the stones have been placed. If necessary, pile stones more densely and/or add stones.

Heating the Stove

Before heating the stove make sure that there are no unnecessary items in the sauna or in-side the stove’s safety distances. Extractor fans when operated in the same space as the stove, may cause problems.

1. Empty the ash box.

2. Place the firewood into the fire chamber, leaving enough room for the combustion air to flow between the firewood. Place the biggest firewood on the bottom and the smaller ones on the top. Use firewood with a diameter of 8­12 cm (consider the ignition load value, table 2).

3. Place the kindling on the top of the firewood. By starting the fire on the top of the firewood, fewer emissions are produced.

4. Fire the kindling and close the door. The amount of draught can be adjusted by opening the ash box. The stove is not intended for use with the stove door open.
   Note! The handles become hot while in use. Use the supplied tool for opening and closing the stove door and ash box (figure 5).

5. When heating the stove starts, the ash box should be pulled open against the stop device (30 mm).

6. Excessive draught will cause the stove body to become red-heated, which will shorten its life span considerably.

7. During bathing, and when the sauna room is already heated, the ash box can be closed to keep down the fire and decrease wood consumption. See the optimal ash box gap in table 2.

8. If necessary, place more firewood into the fire chamber when the ember is dying down. Use firewood with a diameter of 12­15 cm. It takes only a couple of pieces of wood to maintain the bathing temperature (consider the refuelling loads value, table 2).
   Prolonged, intense heating may cause risk of fire!

9. Excessive heating (several full loads in a row, for example) will make the sauna room, stove and the chimney overheat. Overheating shortens the stove’s life span and may cause risk of fire.

10. A good rule of thumb is that temperatures of over 100 ºC are too high in a sauna.

11. Observe the correct wood quantities noted in the heating instructions. Let the stove, chimney and sauna room cool down if necessary.

Sauna Water

The water that is thrown on the stones should be clean household water. Make sure the water is of high enough quality, because water containing salt, lime, iron or humus may prematurely corrode the stove. Especially seawater will corrode the stove very rapidly. The following quality requirements apply to household water:

• humus content <12 mg/litre
• iron content <0.2 mg/litre
• calcium content <100 mg/litre
• manganese content <0.05 mg/litre

Throw sauna water on the stones only. If you throw water on the hot steel surfaces, they may blister due to the large temperature variation.

Maintenance

Stove

• The ash box should always be emptied before heating the stove so that the combustion air that is lead through the box would cool off the fire grate and lengthen its life span.
• Get a metal container, preferably standing model, to put the ash in.
• As the removed ash may include hot embers, do not keep the ash container close to combustible material.
• Soot and ashes gathered in the smoke canals of the stove should be removed occasionally through the soot openings ( 1.1.).
• Due to large variation in temperature, the sauna stones disintegrate in use.
• Therefore, they should be rearranged at least once a year or even more often if the sauna is in frequent use.
• At the same time, any pieces of stones should be removed from the stone space, and disintegrated stones should be replaced with new ones.
• Wipe dust and dirt from the stove with a damp cloth.

Chimney

• The chimney and connection pipes should be swept at regular intervals and especially if the stove has not been used in a long time.
• Due to incomplete burning of fuel and failure of sweeping the chimney, the soot build-up in the flue may ignite. Actions to be taken in case of a chimney fire:
  • Close the ash box, stove door and damper plate (if installed).
  • Contact local fire authority.
  • Do not try to extinguish fire using water.
  • After a sootfire, a chimney sweeper must check the stove and the flue before use.

Troubleshooting

There is no draught in the flue. Smoke comes into the sauna.

• There are leaks in the flue connection. Seal the connection ( 3.2.2.).
• The brick flue is cold.
• There is low pressure caused by an extractor fan or another device in the room. Make sure there is enough air to compensate.
• Several fireplaces are used at the same time. Make sure there is enough air to compensate.
• The ash box is full.
• The smoke canals of the stove are blocked ( 2.7.).
• The flue connection pipe is too deep in the chimney ( 3.2.2.).

The sauna does not heat up.

• The sauna is too big in relation to the stove’s heating capacity (see table 1).
• There is lots of non-insulated wall surface in the sauna ( 1.).
• The burning material is moist or its quality is otherwise low ( 2.3.).
• The flue does not have a good draught.
• The smoke canals of the stove are blocked ( 2.7.).

The stove stones do not heat up.

• The sauna is too small in relation to the stove’s heating capacity ( 1.).
• The flue does not have a good draught.
• The burning material is moist or its quality is otherwise low ( 2.3.).
• The smoke canals of the stove are blocked ( 2.7.).
• Check the stone placement ( 2.4.).
• Remove the small pieces of stone and stones that are less than 10 cm in diameter from the stone space.
• Replace the disintegrated stones with large and undamaged ones.

The stove emits smell.

See section 2.2.

• The hot stove may emphasize odours mixed in the air that are not, however, caused by the sauna or the stove.
• Examples: paint, glue, oil, seasoning.

Wooden surfaces of the sauna room blacken

• It is perfectly normal for the wooden surfaces of the sauna room to blacken in time.
• The blackening may be accelerated by sunlight, heat from the stove,protective agents on the walls (protective agents have a poor heat resistance level), fine particles disintegrating from the sauna stones which rise with the air flow and smoke that enters the sauna, for example, when adding firewood.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION

Before Installation

Before installing the stove make sure that all safety distance requirements are fulfilled.
There shall be no electrical devices, wires or inflammable materials within the established safety distances around the stove.

• All local regulations, including those referring to national and European standards need to be complied with when installing the appliance.
• The stove is not suitable for installation in a shared flue system.
• The local fire authorities in charge of approving the installations can provide more detailed information about fire safety regulations.

Ventilation of the Sauna Room

The ventilation of the sauna room should be arranged as follows:

Gravity exhaust ventilation (figure 6)

• The fresh air inlet must be placed close to the floor near the stove and B. its outlet should be as far as possible from the stove and near the ceiling. The stove itself circulates air effectively; the purpose of the outlet is mainly to remove moisture from the sauna after bathing.

Mechanical exhaust ventilation (figure 7)

A. The fresh air inlet must be approx. 500 mm above the stove and B. the outlet should be close to the floor, for example, below the bench.

Protecting the Floor See figure 8

• A. Concrete floor without tiles. The stove can be installed on a concrete floor without any specific safety measures, if the concrete is at least 60 mm thick. Make sure that there are no wires or water pipes in the concrete cast below the stove.
• B. Tile floor. The floor glues and plasters and waterproof materials used below the tiles are not resistant to the heat radiation of the stove. Protect the floor with the Harvia protective bedding ( 3.4.) or similar heat radiation protection.
• C. Floor made of inflammable material. Protect the floor with the Harvia protective bedding ( 3.4.). If the floor in front of the stove door is made of inflammable material, install floor protection made of nonflammable material.
• The stove shall be installed on a floor with an adequate load-bearing capacity. If the existing floor does not meet this prerequisite, suitable measures (e.g. load distributing plate) shall be taken to achieve it.
• Light-coloured floor materials will become dirty from the ash, particles of stone and metal flakes that fall from the stove. Use floor coverings made of dark materials and dark joint grouts.

Safety Distances

Incorrect stone placement can cause the surrounding structures to heat up to dangerous temperatures even outside the safety distances. The defined safety distances are valid only when the stones have been placed as described in section 2.4.

• Ceiling. The minimum safety distance between the stove and the ceiling (A).
• Walls and benches made of inflammable materials. The minimum safety distances to inflammable materials: on either side (B), behind the stove (C), in the front (D).
• Masonry walls (E). Leave 50 mm between the stove and walls, provided that the air can circulate in front and to one side of the stove. If the stove is installed in a recessed wall, leave 100 mm between the stove and walls for the air circulation.

Legend Protection Supplies

• Legend protective bedding WL100.
• Legend protective sheath WL200. A protective sheath to be attached to the stove. Equivalent to a single protective cover. Figure 10.
• Legend smoke pipe cover WL300. Installed around the smoke pipe and filled with stones. Suits both straight and angled smoke pipes. Figure 10.

Installing the Stove

Adjustable Legs

The adjustable legs enable the stove to be installed firmly on an inclined floor. The adjustable range is 0­30 mm. Unscrew the adjustable feet to an extent that allows them to be adjusted using a wrench (17 mm) when the stove is in position.

The adjustable feet could scratch the floor surface if the stove is moved on the floor.

Connecting the Stove to a Masonry Flue

Make an opening in the fireproof wall for the flue connection. Notice that the opening has to be at the correct height, if you intend to use, for instance, a protective bedding. The hole should be slightly larger than the flue connecting pipe. A suitable gap around the connection pipe is ca. 10 mm. It is advisable to round off the inner corners of the flue opening to ensure that the combustion gases can flow freely to the flue. Additional accessories are available to make the installation easier ( 3.4.).

Connecting the stove to a masonry flue via the rear connection opening (figure 11)

1. Remove the removable bars 2 pcs.
2. Attach the flue connection pipe to the rear connection opening. Ensure that the pipe fits tightly in place.
3. Push the stove into place. Do not block the flue by pushing the flue connection pipe too far into the flue. If necessary, shorten the pipe.
4. Seal the flue connection pipe to the opening in the fireproof wall, for example, by using fireproof mineral wool. Make sure that the flue connection is tightly sealed. Add more fireproof mineral wool if necessary.

Connecting the stove to a masonry flue via the upper connection opening (figure 12)

You will need an angled smoke pipe (45° or 90°) for the upper connection.

1. Move the blocking plug from the upper connection opening on the rear connection opening.
2. Bend the holding springs of the plug to the sides through the upper connection opening so that the plug tightly stays in place.
3. Attach the flue connection pipe to the upper connection opening. Ensure that the pipe fits tightly in place.
4. Push the stove in place. Do not block the flue by pushing the flue connection pipe too far into the flue. If necessary, shorten the pipe.
5. Seal the flue connection pipe to the opening in the fireproof wall, for example, by using fireproof mineral wool. Make sure that the flue connection is tightly sealed. Add more fireproof mineral wool if necessary.

Connecting the Stove to a Harvia Steel Chimney

A CE-marked Harvia steel chimney can be used to remove combustion gases. Its smoke pipes are made of stainless steel and the chimney has been insulated for fire safety. The chimney has a round cross section. The smoke pipe diameter is 115 mm, and the outer casing is 220 mm.

• Move the blocking plug from the upper connection opening on the rear connection opening.
• Bend the holding springs of the plug to the sides through the upper connection opening so that the plug tightly stays in place.
• Connect the steel chimney’s smoke pipe to the upper connection opening of the stove. Ensure that the smoke pipe fits tightly in place.

See the detailed instructions in the steel chimney’s installation instructions!

WARNING

If a protective cover is used around the stove, the insulation of the chimney must start from the same level as the top surface of the protective cover or underneath it.

The safety distance between the inflammable structures and the chimney outer casing must be minimum 100 mm.

Changing the Opening Direction of the Stove Door

The door to the firing chamber can be installed to open either to the right or to the left. See figure 13.

Accessories

• A. Harvia steel chimney WHP1500.
• B. Water heater VL22l. Installed on the top of the upper connection opening. When a protective sheath or other protection is used that is not large enough to protect the inflammable materials around the stove from the heat radiation of the pipe between the water heater and smoke flue, you must install a radiation cover around the pipe.
• C. Radiation cover WZ020130. Installed around the smoke pipe. The safety distance from inflammable materials of an unprotected smoke pipe is 500 mm. When the radiation cover is used, the safety distance is 250 mm.
