Using the thermostat and adjusting the temperature
In various control unit models the selected bathing temperature is shown on the screen of the
control panel. The thermostat sensor must not be installed less than 1000 mm from an undirected
incoming air valve or less than 500 mm away from an incoming air valve which has been directed
away from the control unit.
See the more detailed instructions provided by the control unit's manufacturer.
Timer functions
Various control unit models have many various timer options. Attn. more than 4 hr operational
time is prohibited in private use and should be consulted by qualified electrician.
See the more detailed instructions provided by the control unit's manufacturer and local laws.
Instructions for bathing
Before bathing for the first time, heat up the heater once to burn off the protective oil solvents.
Note that you need to ventilate the sauna room efficiently before you begin bathing.
The heating time for the stones and the sauna room is about 60 minutes depending on the size of
the room and its ventilation. Throwing water on the heater increases temperature and humidity.
The top of the pillar creates more heat, while the sides create a gentler steam.
The temperature should be set by the temperature control in the control unit. A recommended
temperature for the bathing with this heater is 55–70 degrees.
Maintenance:
Due to large variation in temperature, the sauna stones disintegrate in use. Pay attention
especially to the gradual settling of the stones. Be sure that the heating elements do not appear
with time. The stones settle most rapidly within two months of piling. Rearrange the stones at
least once a year or even more often if the sauna is in frequent use. At the same time, remove any
pieces of stones from the bottom of the heater and replace any disintegrated stones with new
ones. By also leaving free airflow and spacing between the saunastones, the heating capability of
the heater stays optimal, is faster and the risk of overheating is avoided.
NOTE! The maximum volume of the ladle is 0.5 litres. If an excessive amount of water is poured on
the stones, only part of it will evaporate and the rest may splash as boiling hot water on the
bathers. Never throw water on the stones when there are people near the heater, because hot
steam may burn their skin.
