Maintenance
• For safe operation of the furnace, it is advisable to keep cleaning
accessories (shovel, broom, rake) in the lower temperature
(below 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.

of furnaces RTL 1998, 195/196, 771 and RTL 2000, 99, 1555.
