2.4 Sauna stones
Good quality sauna stones should meet the following requirements:
-
The stones must withstand heat and heat variation caused by vaporization of the water thrown on the
stones.
-
The stones must be rinsed before use in order to avoid odor and dust.
-
The stones must have an uneven surface so that the water "sticks" on the surface of the stones and
evaporates more effectively.
-
The stones must be sufficiently large (50–100 mm) to allow air to circulate between the stones. This
extends the life of the heating elements.
-
The stones must be piled sparsely so that air circulates as effectively as possible between the stones. The
elements must not be wedged together nor wedged against the casing.
-
The ventilation chambers on the sides of the stone compartment must not be filled with stones. Filled
ventilation chambers will lead to slower heat-up time of the sauna room and could also cause the heater to
overheat.
-
The stones must be rearranged sufficiently often (at least once a year) so that small, crumbled stones can
be removed and replaced with larger new stones.
-
The stones must be piled in such a way as to cover the elements. However, do not pile the stones too high
above the elements. Information about a suitable amount of stones is to be found in the table on page 12.
Any smaller stones in the package must not be placed on the heater.
-
The guarantee does not cover defects caused by smaller and too tightly stacked stones that impede the air
circulation between the stones.
-
Ceramic stones must not be used. Ceramic stones can cause damage to the heater that will not be covered
by the guarantee.
