Heating the sauna
Before turning the sauna heater on, make sure the sauna room is suitable for taking a sauna bath. When heated for the first time,
the sauna heater may emit some odour. If you detect any odour while the sauna heater warms up, disconnect the sauna heater
briefly, and air the room. Then turn the sauna heater back on.
You should turn the sauna heater on roughly an hour before you plan to take a sauna bath, so that the stones have time to heat
up properly and the air warms up evenly in the sauna room.
Pleasant, smooth sauna bath temperature is about 70 °C.
Do not put any objects on the sauna heater. Do not dry clothes on the sauna heater or anywhere in its vicinity.
Sauna heater stones
- Sauna stones should be piled sparsely in order to enhance ventilation between the stones. Do not bend the heating
elements together or against the frame
- Stones are piled so that they cover the heating elements. Do not, however, pile a large heap of stones on the heating elements.
For a sufficient amount of stones refer to page 3. Any small stones in the package of stones must not be piled on the
sauna heater.
- Structural clay tiles are not allowed. They may cause damage to the sauna heater that will not be covered by the warranty.
- Empty the stone compartment regularly, at least once a year in private use, remove small and broken stones and replace them
with new ones.
- In commercial use this operation must be performed at least every second month.
- Do not use soapstone as sauna rocks. Any damages resulting from this will not be covered by the stove warranty.
- Do not use lava stone as sauna rocks. Any damages resulting from this will not be covered by the stove warranty.
DO NOT USE THE HEATER WITHOUT STONES.
Installation
- Follow the safety clearance specifications on page 3 when installing the sauna heater.
- The sauna heater is a floor-standing model. The base must be solid, because the auna
heater weighs about 115 kg with stones.
- The sauna heater is levelled by the adjustable legs.
- The sauna heater needs to be fixed directly onto the wall or to the sauna
bench module by using the provided metal rack to make sure the safety distances will be
maintained in use.
- Walls or ceilings must not be clad with fibre-reinforced plaster board or
other light-weight cladding, because they may cause a fire hazard.
- Only a single sauna heater is allowed per sauna room.
Installing the sensor near a supply air vent
The sauna room air should be exchanged six times in an
hour. The diameter of the supply air pipe should be
between 50 and 100 mm.
A circular air supply vent (360°) must be
installed at least 1000 mm away from the sensor.
An air supply vent with a flow-directing panel (180°) must be
installed at least 500 mm away from the sensor. Air flow must be
directed away from the sensor.
Ceiling installation of the sensor
In ceiling installation, a 5-mm hole must be drilled to the sensor case to
allow any condensed water to drain.
Do not spray water directly towards the sensor or splash water at it with
a sauna scoop.
