Oven Use:
Oven Use: Use only firewood. Do not use materials with a high combustion temperature
(wood partical board, plastic, coal, etc).
The draught is regulated by opening the ash bin. Too strong draught overheats the oven and makes its service life shorter.
Heating of the sauna room depends on its volume.
Sauna Stones:
To add water to the stones, only use pure water, do not use salty or water which may contain iron (hard water) which may affect the life of the sauna stove.
Before adding the sauna stones, wash them thoroughly. Add largers stones towards the bottom of the sauna tray, and the smaller stones on top. Do not allow the sauna stones to hinder the escape of air flow through the grate.
The sauna heater warranty is for a period of 1 year to the original purchaser from date of purchase.
Description & Features of the CTY-WN wood stove.
The ovens are designed to create dry and wet heat. The oven consists of the heater main box, the ash bin, and sauna stone compartment. There is a heat pocket in the top section of the stove. The stones compartment is heated from 5 sides and has a pyramidal shape shutting upwards and focusing heat radiation. There is a narrow cast-iron tray between the stove and the ash bin. The stove door and the iron tray are situated so there is a threshold, hindering of pieces of wood or coal to fall out when loading the firewood.
Necessary air for burning enters through the ash bin and iron tray.
The stove has one 115mm (4.5 inches) diameter outlets for smoke exhaust from the top of the stove. The trapazoidal smoke flue has two openings 115mm (4.5 inches) diameter with caps for cleaning. If your stove has the water inlet and outlet have external thread of 3/4" inches (optional) .
Some of the ovens have a water heating system.
The stove has a heat pocket which is where the smoke flue outlets are located.
Between the stove itself and the enclosure there is a smoke pocket of 50mm
(2.0 inches) thickness, where heated air moves upwards. Upper clearance between the oven and the enclosure is covered with drilled grate. Holes from the grate allows free flow of air. The air is directed through the holes of the grate which promotes room heating.
The sauna stove has a heat-resisting paint which completely hardens only after the first burning or first initial use. At the beginning of the first use or burning, the paint softens. To not damage the paint, try to avoid any contact with any part of the painted surfaces before and during the first burning or use. During the first burning the painted surface may emit some odors, so keep area well ventilated.
Do not add sauna stones at this time. Burn only with firewood.
INSTALLATION:
Before installing the sauna stove, take into consideration of the overall sauna stove dimensions, area of your sauna room, 1 meter (5.0 feet) service area and fire-prevention requirements of your local authorities.
Our recommendations of the following safety distances from the oven: from the sides and back of stove - 500 mm (20 inches), from the front - 1000 mm (39 inches), from the top of the heater to the ceiling - 1200 mm (48 inches). The dimensions may be decreased with the use of thermal insulation.
If the sauna walls and ceiling are constructed with wood, the distance from the stove to the walls is less than safety requires, cover the walls with additional insulationl It may be metal sheets with thickness of 1 mm (0.125 inches) or thermo-insulation plate from non-combustible mineral cement with a thickness of 7 mm (0.5 inches). When using 1 (one) layer of thermal insulation the from the stove to combustible materials is 250 mm (10 inches).
2
If the sauna floor is made from wood or combustible materials, use a concrete slab with a thickness of no less than 60 mm (2.5 inches) to protect the floor.
The slab must protect directly beneath the stove and extend out beyond the stove sides and front, 400 mm in front (16 inches) and 300 mm (12 inches) at the sides. The slab should be just a little higher than the floor level.
(refer to diagrams on page 4)
Do not place any wiring or electrical equipment near the oven.
CONTACT YOUR LOCAL FIRE INSPECTOR OR LOCAL AUTHORITIES TO
OBTAIN THE COMPLETE APPROVAL AND COMPLETE SET OF INSTALLATION
INFORMATION.
Chimney Connection:
The stove has one outlet for the chimeny, located on the top side of the heater.
The diameter of the chimney pipe to be used must be 150 mm (6") .
A 6" diameter single wall stove pipe, used to connect the stove to the chimney, must be installed with the crimped end towards the stove. This will ensure that the moisture which condenses from the burning wood will flow back into the stove.
Each joint in the stove pipe must be secured with at least three sheet metal screws.
This heater must be connected to a chimney complying with the requirements for Type
HT chimneys in the Standard for Chimneys, Factory-Built, Residential Type and Building
Heating Appliance UL 103.
A 4.5" to 6" pipe adapter is available as an accessory.
Servicing Stove:
Accumulated soot is removed through the openings on top for which are located at the top of the stove covered with caps.
Stones in the oven should be inspected minimum yearly. Small cracked ones should be removed and changed. For a good draught clean the chimney regularly. Ash bin is cleaned before adding wood (stoking) to promote a good passage for air circulation. Do not place ashes in a combustible container.
Wood burning sauna stoves installations must be approved before using the sauna.
As we are not aware of any specific codes or regulations which govern wood burning sauna stoves.
Before installing the wood burning sauna heater, please contact your local municipal officials or fire department to find out if any guidelines are available www.saunacore.com (905) 857-8085

Safety setbacks of sauna heater to combustible materials, such as wood sauna walls, wood benches, etc...
Follow these minimum safety distances outlined below, and recommendations from your local fire and safety authorities.
DIA 1 wall
1. The minimum distances between the sauna heater and
any vertical combustible material such as the sauna wood
walls and benches which are unprotected should be a
minimum of 20 inches. (DIA 1) stove
2. The safety distances mentioned in item 1 can be decreased
to a minimum of 10 inches if a single shield protection is used.
This type of single shield protection can be made from using
a 1/4 inch thick non-combustible cement board reinforced with
fibre, or by attaching a 1 millimeter thick metal shield to the wall.
A minimum of 1-1/4 inch air gap must be left between the protective
metal shield and the wooden wall surface to be protected.
Pipe cuplings or bushings can be used as intermediate spacers/
supports for fastening. (DIA 2) wall stove

3. Safety distances stated in item 1. may be further decreased up to
a minimum of 5 inches provided that a double layer of protection is
used. The double layer of protection may be fabricated using two
shields described in item 2., in addition to an additional air gap of
