CONDITIONS AND PRECAUTIONS BEFORE
INSTALLING
Although there are only a few things to keep in mind before installing a
sauna, we would like to point out some of them that may be of interest, to
failitate assembly and that may improve operation and the options of the
sauna.
CONDITIONS FOR THE AREA SURROUNDING THE SAUNA
There are two main conditions for assembling the booth correctly:
- The element upon which the sauna is supported is the lower frame,
which encloses all the modules in its lowest part. This frame is set
directly on the ground, which requires that the earth below it be
perfectly leveled. If the earth is not level, it will be difficult to anchor
the modules with the upper frame.
- When you use the sauna, your body perspires, and part of its
perspiration eventually makes its way to the floor. Due to this, the
pavement where the sauna is situated should be the least porous
and absorbent possible. If it is absorbent, the perspiration will
penetrate it and it will accumulate there, along with the toxins and
grime that it carries with it, which will facilitate germ, bacteria and
fungus growth.
TYPE OF FLOORING SUGGESTED: Stonewate, terrazo or marble,
preferably large pieces, 40x40 or 50x50 cm.
CONTRAINDICATED FLOORING: Carpeting, cork, parquet, cement or any
other absorbent material.
All INBECA sauna models incorporate a tongued and grooved panel for the
front of the sauna and MAY INCLUDE the two sides as well, which facilities
its positioning. Its important to consider that the rear wall does not
NORMALLY incorporate a lining, so normally, it will have to stay against the
constructed wall.
- It is advisable that the sauna is situated close to a shower to
maximise the benefits of the session. Although this condition
improves the user's sauna experience, the water must never touch
the walls of the sauna.

CONNECTION LINES FOR THE SAUNA
The most important element of the sauna is the electrical equipment,
particularly the "heater", in which the electricity is produced through the
electrical resistance.
To avoid any type of incident due to overheating of the premises' or homes'
electrical installation, it is essential that the line to which the sauna is
connected is appropriate for the intensity and consumption of the heater.
In turn, it is advisable that the line mentioned is indepenent and is protected
with its own circuit breaker, set at the appropriate intensity. Normally the
origin of the line should be found in the general electrical panel of the home.
In the table below, the ocnnection details between the consumption of the
electrical equipment, the correct intensity of the protective circuit breaker and
the section of the line cable will be given. Connections will differ depending
on the model and on the voltage of the premises.

IMPORTANT: The lines to which the sauna is connected must always be
grounded. If it is not connected, it can result in electrical accidents. All
premises and homes should have a general differential.
