2.7. Connecting the Stove to a Harvia Steel Chimney › Images 6-8, 11
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.
1. Open the cover hatches of the rear connection opening.
2. Move the blocking plug from the upper connection opening to the rear connection opening.
3. Turn the cover hatches back up and lock it in its position with a screw.
4. 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!
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. (Image 11).
2.8. Changing the Opening Direction of the Stove Door › Image 12
The door to the firing chamber can be installed to open either to the right or to the left.

3. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
See WARNINGS AND NOTES!
See INSTALLATION IMAGES!
3.1. Preparing the Stove for Use
Perform the first heating outdoors. The stove body has been painted with protective paint, which will vaporise during
the first heating. This will cause the stove body to emit smoke. When the smoking stops, the stove is ready for normal use.
Install the smoke pipes for draught. This will cause odours to vaporize from the smoke pipes as well. The outer
casing has been painted with heat-resistant paint, which reaches its final cured state during the first heating. Prior to
this, rubbing or sweeping the painted surfaces of the stove must be avoided.
•
The sauna stones should not be placed in the stove before the first heating. Place the stones in the stove only
when the stove has cooled completely after the first heating.
•
Stove with a water container: Clean the water container carefully prior to use. Fill up the water container prior to
the first heating.
•
NOTE! Do not throw water on the stove during first heating. Painted surfaces can get damaged!
3.2. 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
