To use the Kota Kuru 14 ST, ensure the stove is installed on a non-combustible surface with the required safety distances from walls and other structures as specified in the manual. Before the first use, the stove should be heated outdoors or in a well-ventilated area to burn off any protective oils from the manufacturing process. During operation, load the firebox with dry, high-quality firewood and adjust the airflow to control the burning rate. Always monitor the stove during operation and ensure the chimney is clean and functional.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the volume of your sauna room to ensure it falls within the recommended range
• Check local building codes and fire safety regulations regarding wood-burning stoves
• Ensure your sauna has a compatible chimney system
• Consider the space required for safety clearances around the stove

For the best experience, use only dry, well-seasoned firewood to maximize heating efficiency and minimize soot buildup. Regularly remove ash from the ash pan to maintain proper airflow and ensure the longevity of the firebox components.
