How should I prepare and place the shungite stones in my sauna stove?

Before using the ŠUNGIIDIMÜTS for the first time, it is essential to rinse the crushed stones thoroughly under running water. This step removes any loose stone dust that may have accumulated during packaging and transport, ensuring a cleaner steam experience from the outset. Once cleaned, place the entire 400g portion directly into your sauna stove, positioning it among the regular sauna stones. It is important to place it where it will be reached by the water you throw over the stones, as this interaction is key to generating the characteristic steam or löyly. The shungite is dense and heats slowly, so it integrates well with traditional stones. For small home sauna stoves, a single bag is sufficient. If you have a larger stove, you may combine multiple bags to ensure adequate coverage. The stones can remain in the stove permanently and only need occasional rinsing if they become dusty over time.
