3.3.

Producing the Steam

•
Throwing water on the stones increases the moisture level inside the Sauna Room and the heater
increases the temperature.
•
The amount of water thrown on the stones determines the moisture content of the air.
•
Three ladles of water at a time are enough to enjoy the Sauna. Throwing too much water on the
stones may cause scalding water to splash on the bathers, as the water may not evaporate
immediately.
•
Make sure there is no one sitting near or next to the heater before throwing water on the stones.

3.3.1. Kind of Water to Use

• Use only clean household tap water to throw on the stones.
Do not use hard, ferrous or chlorinated water.
•
• Hard water causes white deposits on the stones and on the heater surface, and it also decreases
the heat accumulating property of the stones.
• On the other hand, if the water you are using is ferrous, a rusty layer will cover the heating
elements and other parts of the heater and will lead to corrosion.
• The use of seawater, chlorinated water and humus water can damage your Combi Heater and its
parts as well.

3.4. Using the Steamer with Manual Refill

3.4.1. Filling the Water Compartment

• Fill the Tank by pouring water through the holes designated for the Scent Basins.
The amount of water poured can be monitored using the Water Level Indicator.
•
• The water should not exceed the 5-liter marking on the Level Indicator; otherwise it might spill on
the floor.
• If "FILL" is displayed on the external control unit, refill the Water Tank. Be careful in removing the
Scent Basins during bathing, as they will be hot to touch. Do not attempt to remove the Steamer
Cover, as it will be extremely hot to touch.
• Always make sure that there is a sufficient amount of water in the Water Tank before using the
Steamer.

3.4.2. Low Water Level

• The Combi Heater is equipped with a Low Water Level Detection System, which prompts the user
to refill water before the Water Tank runs dry.
• The Low Water Level Detection System will display "FILL" on the external control unit when only
about 1-liter water is left in the tank. A warning sound (buzzer-like) will also be emitted to catch
the user's attention. The tank should then be refilled with water.
• If, despite the "FILL" message and warning buzzer, water is not refilled, the Steamer will eventually
run dry, which negatively affect the life time of the heating plate.
