Instructions for installation and use | IKI electric heaters with Finlandia control unit Page 11Piling of the stonesWash the stones before piling. Check the safety distances are correct and the heater is attached on the back strip.Check the maximum amount of stones for the heater model you are using from page 9. The heating elementsmust be well covered. Piles stones so thy cover the elements with at least 5 centimetres on all sides, that theelements are not in contact with one another or the mesh frame. In normal use, olivine, olivine-dolerite andperidotite stones are recommended, in sizes smaller than 10 cm in diameter. The stones should not be placed tootightly together allowing for free airflow between the stones. In communally or publicly used saunas werecommend the use of ceramic Kerkes stones around the heating elements (www.kerkes.fi). Kerkes stonessupport and help preserve the resistors and they do not disintegrate prematurely due to high temperaturechanges. Note that the use of soapstone and natural stones is allowed only on the outer edges and on the top ofthe heater.During use, pay attention that the surface level of the stones drops. Check twice or thrice a year that the heatingelements have not become exposed, add stones if necessary. Replace used stones periodically, as often asnecessary. Check once a year the condition of the stones, and replace if needed.Table of heater modelsHeaterSaunasizeHeight ofheaterDiameterof heaterMax stonecapactyPowerFise WirePillar IKI 4,5 kW 3-6 m³ 120 cm 26 cm 80 kg 4,5 kW 3x10A 5x1,5 mm²Pillar IKI 6 kW 5-9 m³ 140 cm 26 cm 100 kg 6 kW 3x10A 5x1,5 mm²Corner IKI 6,6 kW 5-10 m³ 102 cm 45 cm 130 kg 6,6 kW 3x10A 5x1,5 mm²Pillar IKI 7,5 kW 7-12 m³ 105 cm 34 cm 140 kg 7,5 kW 3x16A 5x2,5 mm²Pillar IKI 9 kW 8-16 m³ 120 cm 34 cm 150 kg 9 kW 3x16A 5x2,5 mm²Pillar IKI 10 kW 10-18 m³ 125 cm 34 cm 170 kg 10 kW 3x16A 5x2,5 mm²Safety distancesto inflammable surface materials (eg. wall panelling and benches)Heater Front Side Back UpPillar IKI 4,5 kW 10 cm 10 cm 10 cm 60 cmPillar IKI 6 kW 10 cm 10 cm 10 cm 60 cmCorner IKI 6,6 kW 10 cm * * 80 cmPillar IKI 7,5 kW 10 cm 10 cm 10 cm 80 cmPillar IKI 9 kW 10 cm 10 cm 10 cm 80 cmPillar IKI 10 kW 10 cm 10 cm 10 cm 80 cm* Corner IKI can be installed in the corner
