5.3. Heating for the first time

CAUTION!
Formation of smoke and odours when heating up for the first time
Materials used during the manufacturing process will be present on the
new heating elements. These evaporate when the sauna heater is heat-
ed up for the first time. This produces smoke and an unpleasant odour.
Breathing in the fumes or smoke can be harmful to your health.
Perform the following steps when operating the sauna heater for the first
time and if the heating elements for the sauna heater have been replaced.
This prevents damage to health due to the fumes and smoke produced when
heating for the first time.
1. Heating the heating rods for the first time
a. Select the highest possible temperature on the sauna control unit.
b. Heat up the sauna heater for half an hour.
Do NOT remain in the sauna cabin during this period.
2. Heating the evaporator for the first time
a. Select a low temperature and high humidity on the sauna control unit.
b. Heat up the evaporator with half the amount of water (see page 20)
Do NOT remain in the sauna cabin during this period.
c. Switch off the sauna control unit after approx. 15 minutes.
d. Allow the evaporator to cool (for approx. half an hour).
e. Empty the water tank (see Filling the evaporator on page 20)
f. Repeat step 2.b.
g. Allow the sauna cabin to ventilate thoroughly after heating for
the first time.
h. If no smoke or odours form the next time the sauna heater is heated,
you can start to use the sauna.
If smoke or odour is produced again, leave the sauna cabin immedi-
ately and repeat the initial heating up process followed by ventilation.
