Changing the door's left/right-handedness: 

  Open the door and push the hinge pin out of the lower hole. 

  Pull  the  pin  downwards  out  of  the  upper  hole  to  release  the  door.  Remember  the 

washers. 

  Turn the door into the desired position. 

  Slip the hinge pin first into the sleeve's upper hole and the washers on top of the sleeve 

onto the pin. (The risers on the pin must be at the lower end.) 

  Slip the door's upper hole onto the hinge pin above the sleeve. 

  Finally, guide the hinge pin into the lower holes of the sleeve and the door. 

2.8. Grate  

There is a grate in the heater's stove. Place it on brackets on the bottom of the stove. 

2.9. General directions to prevent damage 

When you bring the stove into the sauna, before you add the stones, burn a full load of wood 

in a well ventilated sauna to burn off the last protective substances and harden the 
coating. 

 
Kastor heater is ready to be used after burn-ins completed outdoors and indoors, and after 

stones have been added. 

 
 
Please read and follow the instructions below: 
 
Wood quantities can be found in table (2). 

  Remember to leave at least 10 cm of free air space as measured from the flame plate 

downwards to aid the burning process. 

  Do not heat immediately at full blast, if it is cold. The brick chimney might suffer damage. 

  Do not throw water directly at the glass door. 

  The stove’s operating life shortens, if it is constantly heated to a red glow. 

  The stove’s working life will be shortened significantly, if it is subjected to salt water. Note 

that in close proximity to the sea even well water may contain salt.The warrenty does not 
applyifthe stoveis usedsea water. 

  Factors influencing the stove’s useful life are, among other things, how well its size is 

suited to the sauna, the fuel used, how often it is used, failure to follow these instructions 
and general carefulness. 

  Kastor stoves have been very carefully designed and tested. On the basis of our studies, 

we at Helo Oy know that if the stove suffers damage in a very short time (e.g. the walls 
split or burn through, the top burns through etc.), the stove has not been used according 
to instructions. Helo Oy does not take responsibility for damage through failure to follow 
the user’s manual. 

3. Using the stove 

 

3.1. Fuel

 

Only unprocessed wood 

can be used as fuel in Kastor heaters

, preferably chopped, birch or alder 

(batch size can be seen in table (2)).

 The length of firewood is approximately 30cm. 

Dampness 12–20%. NOTE! Damp or decayed wood does not provide heat very well and 
emissions are higher.

 

 
It is not permitted to burn treated wood, wood with nails, plywood, plastic, plastic coated 

cardboard or paper in this stove. Fluid fuels must not be used even while starting the fire
