12. IKI‐Kiuas Ltd. recommends the use of safety railings around the heater. However, the
stainless steel frame does not over‐heat the way ordinary steel‐cased heaters do.
13. The surface of the stones sinks in a little after the heater has been in use for a while.
Frequently check that the heating elements do not become exposed. If this should
happen, pile in more stones. The disintegration of the stones depends on the type of
stones and the frequency of use. The condition of the stones should be checked yearly
and broken stones should be replaced by new ones.
Connecting the electric heater to electrical network
The heater is connected to the electrical network semi‐stationarily with a H07RN‐F rubber cable or
its equivalent. The use of PVC‐insulated cable as a connecting cable is prohibited due to thermal
embrittlement. The electric installation may only be administered by a qualified electrician
adhering to current regulations. The maximum distance of the junction box from the floor is 400
mm, measured from the upper corner of the box. Make sure that the connecting cable will not be
exposed to thermal radiation or mechanical strain. If the rubber cable running inside the wall of
the sauna is above 1000 mm from the floor, it needs to endure temperatures up to 170
degrees Celsius (for example SSJ).
Control unit
The control cable for electrical heating is brought directly into the junction box of the heater, and
from there to the terminal block of the heater. The power and control unit should be installed in
to a dry place between the heater and the electrical center, either in the sauna or outside the
sauna (depending on the model). The thermostat is installed into the wall/or roof of the sauna
according to instructions and is connected with SSJ or similar silicone cable to the power unit.
See the more detailed instructions provided by the control unit's manufacturer.
Temperature restrictor (overheat protector)
The temperature restrictor switches off the power if the temperature in the saunaroom climbs
dangerously high. If the restrictor goes off, the cause is not a temporary malfunction. In this case
consult the manufacturers technical support.
See the more detailed instructions provided by the control unit's manufacturer.
