Instructions for Operation
• Open the stove’s glass door and stack up 3-5 logs.
• Close the door to make sure the wood logs are not obstructing the door. You should be able to securely close and lock the door.
• Open stove’s glass door again and place 1 or 2 flints that were provided inside the stove. The flints should be placed on top of the bottom layer of wood and under the top logs.
• Light up the flint(s), close stove’s glass door, and open the ash bin about 2 inches to create a full draft.
• Once the wooden logs are lit and the fire is strong (approximately 10-15 minutes), please close the ash bin almost all the way, with approximately a quarter of an inch open. Once the desired temperature is reached, you can fully close the ash bin.
• Keep adding wood as needed to maintain the desired temperature in the sauna. Please do not overheat the sauna. Make sure the pipe between the rocks does not stay red for more than 10 minutes at a time, as it might cause the pipe to expand and damage the pipe.
• Depending on the weather conditions, the sauna should reach 135-150 degrees Fahrenheit within 45 minutes. At this point you can start enjoying the sauna.
• We recommend temperatures of 160-175 degrees for platza treatment. Oak, birch and eucalyptus bath brooms and Veniki can be purchased directly from our website.
Sauna maintenance
• Do not extinguish the fire inside the stove once you are done. Leave the stove door closed until the fire and all embers die out.
• Do not attempt to clean the stove right away as it will be extremely hot. Wait several hours before cleaning the stove grate. Use a stick, small shovel, or another tool to move all ashes and coals through the grate to the ash bin.
• Once you have determined that all ashes and other burned material is no longer hot, please empty those materials from the ash bin into a garbage bag or can and re-insert the ash bin back into place.
• You must perform the above tasks before each subsequent sauna use.
FAILURE TO CLEAN THE STOVE AND EMPTY THE ASH BIN AS INSTRUCTED ABOVE MAY RESULT IN ADDITIONAL CLEAN UP FEES.

COOKIES POLICY
The term “cookie” defines a packet of data that a computer receives and sends back without performing any alterations to that same data.
