Page 11: Air Ventilation And Fresh Air Flow
S i v u | 10 KIVI‐IKI wood‐burning stove: instructions for installation and use 3. AIR VENTILATION AND FRESH AIR FLOW The ventilation needs to be designed to ensure enough fresh air for clean burning and for the sauna‐bathers to breathe comfortably. Well‐designed ventilation also helps the sauna room dry after bathing. There are many mechanical ventilation systems available by various different manufacturers. 3.1 Gravitational ventilation The air should be led from outside through a pipe with 50‐100 mm grate and charging valve into the proximity of the stove at floor level (50‐100 mm above the floor). Fresh air should be led from outside through a 100 mm pipe to about 50‐1000 mm above the stone base. Exhaust air should be led outside of the sauna through a pipe with an adjustable grate and a charging valve, which should ideally be located at the opposite wall to the stove, preferably between the mid and upper benches. The pipe should exit the outer wall just below the roof. The exhaust valve can be located in the ceiling or close to the ceiling at the opposite wall to the stove. If the in‐coming air is led in through a valve in the door between the sauna and washing room or a gap under the door, fresh air needs to be led to the washing room from outside. The air routes must be kept open during bathing and drying the sauna afterwards. The grates need to be installed so that they cannot get blocked. As the fire burns in the stove the air circulates in the sauna: the oxygen‐rich air flows upwards and warms up and the hot exhaust air is sucked out to the outlet channel through the vent in the opposite wall that leads it outside. 3.2 Mechanical ventilation Mechanical ventilation assists the air to circulate more efficiently. The principle for the placement of air vents is the same as for gravitational ventilation. 3.3 Flue gas fans and use of multiple furnaces We do not recommend the use of a flue gas fan. The high temperature of the flue gas may ... -
Page 12: Installation Of The Stove
2. The stove should be installed on concrete or stone floor otherwise it requires a metallic insulating panel. The stove must not be installed on water‐insulated or heated floor without an insulating panel. 3. Remove the protective plastic covering. 4. Ensure that the furnace is levelled and the exhaust pipe fits the chimney connection pipe. Use the adjustable legs to level the stove if needed. Pile stones to the lower part of the mesh frame one by one. Olivine, olivine‐dolerite and peridotite stones are recommended, in sizes smaller than 10 cm in diameter. The stones should not be placed too tightly together allowing for free airflow. Take care to cover all the metal parts of the stove. Note that the use of soapstone and natural stones is allowed only on the outer edges and on the top of the heater. 6. Set the looped exhaust pipe in place on top of the furnace (image 1). 7. Attach the upper mesh frame so that the top frame fits inside the lower frame (image 2) (excluding the KIVI‐IKI Jr.). 8. Set the exhaust pipe to the flue connection. 9. Fill the upper mesh frame with stones (excluding the KIVI‐IKI Jr.). 10. Attach the glass hatch to the front of the furnace. The front of the furnace has holes for the bolts to go in (image 3) Use the nuts to fix the bolts from the inside of the hatch (image 4). 11. Put the grate and ash box in place (image 5). ... -

Page 14: Instructions For Use
S i v u | 13 KIVI‐IKI wood‐burning stove: instructions for installation and use 5. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE The heating time is approximately one hour, depending on the size of the room and stove. The proper bathing temperature for IKI‐stoves is approximately 50‐70 degrees. 5.1 Setting fire Empty out the furnace from left over ash and remains from previous use. Open the closing panel in the pipe and make sure there is appropriate airflow. Fill the furnace with a maximum of 2/3rds of firewood (3‐4 pieces of log). Lay the logs loosely in a top right position at the back of the furnace (see image for reference). Set fire to the kindling and close the hatch. Adjust draught by pulling the ash box out slightly. Do not burn the furnace with the hatch open. When needed, put more wood into the furnace. Use the ash spatula to move the embers for better burning. The logs should be about 12‐15 cm in diameter. To reach bathing temperature, two logs will suffice. NOTE! The handle on the hatch gets hot during heating. Use the heavy‐duty mitten provided to work the handle. Initially it is good to leave the ash box slightly open when setting fire to the furnace to get it going. During bathing, when the temperature is high enough, the ash box ... -
