• Chimney inspection & cleaning: Check and clean chimney/flue at least once a year to avoid creosote buildup and ensure safe draft.
• Stone maintenance: Inspect sauna stones yearly; replace cracked stones and keep proper loose stacking for airflow and steam quality.
• Airflow control check: Ensure air intake and firebox vents stay clear for efficient combustion and fast heating.
• Exterior care: Wipe steel surfaces and check for rust or heat wear to extend stove life.
• Avoid overloading firewood: Overfiring can damage firebox structure and reduce lifespan.
• Safety clearance check: Regularly confirm proper spacing from walls and ceiling to prevent overheating risks.
