Page 3: General Safety Instructions
To ensure safe use of the sauna, please read these safety instructions first! Electrical connections may only be made by an electrician with valid installation authorization according to the current regulations. The Mondex electric heater is suitable for use in a family sauna, one (1) heater per sauna room. Retain the installation and operating instructions for further reference. Always check the adequacy of the fire protection distances! Failure to observe the connection instructions may result in a risk of fire! Always check the sauna room before switching the heater on! Always check that the controller has switched the heater off after the set time period! Due to the risk of fire, do not use the sauna to dry clothes or laundry. Exercise caution with a hot heater, since the heater stones and metal parts become very hot and can cause burns. The water steam rising from the heater is hot and can cause burns. Children, disabled and ill persons who are using the sauna should be supervised. Benches and floors may be slippery, therefore move in the sauna with caution. Do not go to a hot sauna under the influence of narcotic substances (alcohol, drugs, narcotics, etc.). A stone compartment without stones or filled improperly will present a risk of fire! Covering the heater will present a risk of fire. This device is not intended for use by persons whose physical, sensory or mental abilities or lack of experience and knowledge prevent them from using the device safely, without supervision or before they have been instructed on safe use of the device and they understand the hazards associated with using the device.

Page 8: General Instructions For Users Of Aura Heaters
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USERS OF AURA HEATERS Note Electrical connections may only be made by an electrician with valid installation authorization according to the current regulations. The Aura electric heater is suitable for use in a family sauna, one (1) heater per sauna room. Retain the installation and operating instructions for further reference. Installation cable Use rubber cable H07RN-F as a connection cable. Additional connection options Control of electric heating with the heater: The electric heating control cable is brought directly to the heater’s junction box and further to the heater’s terminal block with a rubber cable that is dimensionally identical to the incoming cable. NOTE! Failure to observe the connection instructions may result in a risk of fire! NOTE! Remove all plastic film before using the heater! -
Page 9: Water Thrown On Heater
Water thrown onto the heater We recommend using hand warm water. The water should be fresh household water. Throwing the water onto the heater sides / lower stones generates softer steam. If you want steam that feels hotter and more intense, pour plenty of warm water on top of the heater all at once. Sauna room structure The sauna and its ceiling, in particular, should have good thermal insulation, as heat tends to escape through the ceiling. Due to the moisture, we recommend that you use aluminium paper. The size of the heater should be selected according to the size of the sauna (in cubic metres). In addition to calculating the power need for the regular sauna structure (glass wool–foil–wood), the following should be taken into consideration. If the sauna has any uninsulated wood, tile or concrete surfaces or the walls are made of logs, the heater power needs to be increased. For every uninsulated square metre, the heater power need increases by the same amount as if increasing the space volume by 1.2 m and on timber surfaces by 1.5 m . The factor for glass surfaces (glass walls, doors and uninsulated stone surfaces) is also 1.2 m per square metre. In borderline cases, you should choose a heater with higher power. The sauna needs efficient ventilation for a good oxygen level and a sufficient amount of fresh air. The air in the sauna needs to change at least 6 times per hour. For a sauna with an electric heater, mechanical ventilation is the most convenient ventilation method. The supply air should be provided through an inlet located 500 mm, at a minimum, above the heater, either on the wall or in the ceiling. The exhaust valve should be placed on the opposite wall, as far away from the heater and as close to the floor level as possible. It is highly recommendable to install an exhaust air valve in the ceiling as well for easier removal of moisture after sauna sessions. For more information, refer to the construction instructions and building regulations. INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AURA 12/2017... -

Page 19: Warranty And Maintenance
“Changing the heater stones”. Removing or re-stacking of heater stones are not covered by the warranty in a potential warranty maintenance. mAINTENANCE AND SPARE PARTS In case of a fault that cannot be solved, please contact the store where you purchased the heater or email info@mondex.fi. Spare parts can be purchased from Mondex distributors and the manufacturer. When purchasing spare parts, please refer to the name, power, serial number and manufacturing date of the heater to ensure you receive the correct parts. NATURAL STONE AS mATERIAL Small pebbles or pieces may come off the natural stone used in the heater. As this is not a failure of the organic material but a natural feature that cannot be predicted at the time of manufacturing the product, the manufacturer is not responsible for any damage. CHANGING THE HEATER STONES Re-stack the heater stones and replace any eroded stones annually (every three months in commercial/ professional use). The good condition and proper, spacious stacking of the stones around the resistors inside the heater ensure a sufficient air flow between the resistors. If this is not carried out annually, a proper air flow may be obstructed and the resistors may break prematurely, which is not covered by the warranty.
