It is advisable to leave a 50 mm / 2 in air gap between the bushing and the stove; therefore, add 100 mm / 4 in to height D and width C given in table 1 when calculating the dimensions for the opening.
If the floor in front of the furnace is made from combustible material, fire-resistant floor protection must be installed in front of the furnace door. The protection must be 600 mm / 23.6 in wider than door width C, with a depth of at least 400 mm / 15.8 in.

Connecting the sauna stove with the chimney

The flue gas outlet of HUUM sauna stoves is at the top of the sauna stove. The sauna stove is connected to the chimney using special metal flue pipes, which are optionally sealed with heat-resistant sealing rope.
The elbows of the connection tubes must be smooth to keep draught loss to a minimum.
The tube is inserted through the wall of the chimney and sealed with mineral wool.
The sauna stove can only be connected to the chimney by specialists.
The flue gases of the stove must be directed into a separate flue.
Use of a common flue with other furnaces is not permitted.

Important! Forced extract ventilation may cause problems with the of the room and inadequate furnace combustion, therefore, designing and building such a ventilation system is permitted only with the supervision of a licensed specialist.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTION

Preparation for use

Any natural granite stones or special sauna stove stones sold at hardware stores are suitable for the sauna stove. Use of ceramic stones may shorten the life of the stove.
The stones must be washed clean before laying.
Sauna stove stone quantities:
- Hive Heat 12: 6 x 15kg / 6 x 33.1 lb;.

Important! The sauna stove can only be heated with wood logs.

Heating the sauna

Avoid overheating the sauna stove; overheating is indicated when the furnace case glows red. Overheating causes the metal to deform, and the manufacturer is not responsible for this defect.
In the case of overheating, the ash tray must be completely closed to stop the furnace combustion process. Keep the furnace doorclosed. If possible, cut off air flow to the room.
It is recommended each time you heat the sauna stove that some quantity of the fuel consists of small and easily flammable pieces of material which are more porous and lighter compared to the rest of the fuel quantity.
The sauna stove can only be heated with wood logs. For Hive Heat12, 30 cm/ 1 ft logs are best suited.
If necessary, the supply of combustion air can be adjusted by controlling the draught of the air vents in the front side of the heater by changing the position of the shutter. It is recommended to keep the ash tray open by up to 2 mm/ 0.1 in for ignition. During heating, it is recommended to keep the air vents fully open at the top of the front side of the heater.
Keep the furnace door closed during heating. Open the door only to add firewood.
Avoid splashing water onto the hot glass of sauna stoves with aglass door. Tempered door glass is not under warranty.
The heating time of the steam room is dependent on the thermal resistance of the wall materials, room size and power of the sauna stove.
The outer surfaces of the sauna stove are hot during heating. Contact with exposed body parts can cause burns.
Do not splash salt water onto the sauna stove.
It is not advisable to throw hard water or water with a high iron content onto the sauna stove.

Application Instruction

Maintenance

For safe operation of the furnace, it is advisable to keep cleaning accessories (shovel, broom, rake) in the lower temperature (below 104°F / 40°C) part of the steam room.
Empty the sauna stove’s ash tray before each heating since this is used to adjust the draught.
If the sauna has not been used for a long time, have a specialist check the furnace, grate and ash tray condition before heating the sauna stove. If necessary, arrange for the condition of the chimney and the flue to be checked as well. Also, if necessary, allow the specialist to undertake further cleaning.
Large temperature fluctuations may, over time, cause the sauna stove stones to crumble and lose their required properties. It is therefore advisable to replace crumbled sauna stones with new ones once a year.
Clean the heating surfaces of the sauna stove regularly, at least once every 20 uses.
At least once a year, it is necessary to clean the chimney and flues.
Cleaning of the sauna stove must comply with all local normative documents which provide fire safety regulations for the cleaning of furnaces.
