Page 4: Installation Of The Heater
Detach the two stainless steel mesh frames from one another using the key (2,5 mm hexagon socket). (Pic 2). Lift the upper mesh frame while pilig the stones to the bottom part (pic 3). Check that the heating elements stand up straight. If they have been bent, carefully straighten them. PILING OF THE STONES: Wash the stones before piling. Detach the two stainless steel mesh frames from one another using the key (2,5 mm hexagon socket). In the 9kW model, check that the guide for the resistors is in place at the top of the heater and keeps them upright. Pile stones to the lower part of the frame until the level reaches 10 cm from the middle part (pic4). This helps install the upper part within the lower frame. Pile stones to the fill the upper part. You may loosen the resistor guide to pile the stones in until half way done. To complete the piling, reattach the guide properly and leave in place. The heating elements should be carefully covered. Please make sure that elements make NOT contact with each other or with the heater frame. Olivine and olivine‐dolerite stones are recommended, in sizes smaller than 10 cm in diameter. The stones should not be placed too tightly together allowing for free airflow between the stones. In communally or publicly used saunas we recommend the use of ceramic Kerkes stones around the heating elements (www.kerkes.fi). Kerkes stones support and help preserve the resistors and they do not disintegrate prematurely due to high temperature changes. Note that the use of soapstone and natural stones is allowed only on the outer edges and on the top of the heater. Affix the heater to the wall using the steel supporters (pic 5). Check that the heater stands steady before use. Remember to also reaffix the frame attachers. Affix water guide to the upper part of the heater (pic 6). We recommend the use of safety railings around the heater. However, the stainless steel mesh frame does not over‐heat the way ordinary steel‐cased heaters do. The surface of the stones sinks in a little after the heater is in use. 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 must be replaced with new ones.

Page 7: Connecting Heater To Electrical Network
Temperature restrictor The temperature restrictor switches off the power if the temperature in the sauna climbs dangerously high due to a malfunction. The temperature restrictor can be reset after the heater has cooled down, from the button located in the front panel. If the restrictor cuts the power off again, it is not due to a temporary malfunction. The cause of the malfunction needs to be determined by a qualified electrician before resetting. Thermostat To control the temperature of the heater use the knob in the control panel. When heating the sauna for the first time, rotate the knob to its maximum position for one hour. Check that the temperature in the sauna is approx. 50–60 degrees Celsius. Turn the temperature knob anti‐ clockwise until it clicks off. Adjust the temperature to whichever direction you wish. The new settings will take effect the next time you use the heater. Timer The timer can be preset to start heating in 1 to 8 hours. The heater's operating time is 1 to 4 hours. The timer operates as the main power switch of the heater and it switches the heater on and off according to your settings. The heater is on for 4 hours from the preset heating time unless it is manually switched off when no longer needed. To start heating immediately: Rotate the knob to the operating range (Section A in the image) to run for 0–4 hours. To pre‐set heating: Rotate the knob to the pre‐setting range (section B in the image), to begin in 1 to 8 hours. The heater switches on when the knob has rotated itself to the operating range. WARNING! Always make sure after you finish sauna‐bathing that the power is switched off and no longer powers the heat resistors when set to zero.

Page 11: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting If the heater or sauna room does not heat up, check that: The power is on. The timer is set to the operating range. The temperature knob is set to a higher temperature than the temperature in the sauna room. The fuses are intact. The temperature restrictor (overheat protector) has not gone off. If temperature restrictor has gone off, the reason for this must be solved before using heater again. The stones are piled correctly If the wooden walls / parts take on a darker shade, check safety distances and piling of the stones does not leave resistor exposed or touching one another. If the resistors are visible they emit excessive heat. protective cover for capillary sensors Timer Thermostat Reset button Instructions for installation and use | Corner and Wall IKI with built‐in control unit Page 10 ... -
