• Consult your doctor about any health-related limitations to bathing. • Parents should keep children away from the hot heater. • Consult your child welfare clinic about taking small children in to the sauna. • Do not exceed reasonable time inside the sauna without spending time outside the sauna cooling down.
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION Before you begin installing the heater, pay attention to the following points in the heater: • Beware of the sharp edges of the stainless-steel mesh. Use a long-sleeved shirt and protective gloves during the installation and once taking the heater out of the cardboard box.
2. Choose the place for the heater according to the required safety distances. The installation must be carried out in the place where the heater will be situated. The safety distances for Electric IKI 6 – 9 kW are measured from the heater's mesh frame outwards (Page 12: Safety distances). Negligence to comply with the safety distances may cause fire hazard.
Piling the stones Beware of the sharp edges of the stainless-steel mesh. Use a long-sleeved shirt and protective gloves during the installation and once taking the heater out of the cardboard box! 1. Wash the stones before piling. Olivine, olivine-diabase, peridotite or black volcanite stones are recommended stones, in sizes 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) in diameter.

To restart the heater, turn the timer first down to zero and then push the reset button firmly. The button is located at the bottom part of the heater. If the heater will not start operating or continues to shut off, contact IKI LLC for further assistance.
The heating time is about 60–75 minutes depending on the size of the room and its ventilation. • Recommended bathing temperature for IKI stone pillars is 131- 167F (55–75C). The temperature should be set to the desired range from the temperature knob in the control unit.
Troubleshooting If the sauna room does not heat up, check that: • The power is on and the circuit breakers are in working condition and are the correct size. The timer is set to the operating range. • • The temperature is set in a controller to a higher temperature than the temperature in the sauna room.
Warranty IKI LLC (the manufacturer) assures a warranty to its products as stipulated here, guaranteeing the quality and functionality of the products during the warranty period. The warranty requires that the buyer follow the instructions regarding the placement of the heater, its installation, use and maintenance as well as those regarding the qualities of the stones used in the heater.
Quality guarantee / Freight guarantee Guarantee of materials. The manufacturer guarantees the durability of the stainless-steel parts (resistor platform and frame) in private home use for 10 years. During the warranty period any defects that appear in the heater's raw materials or are production-based will be repaired free of charge. For example, the use of seawater on the heater is forbidden.
Ventilation The ventilation in the sauna room needs to be considered. Proper air-flow allows bathers to enjoy fresh, oxygen-rich air. The air should fully exchange 6 times an hour. The supply air inlet should be installed on the wall or the ceiling at about 20 inches (500 mm) above the heater. The supply air inlet vent should be 2-4 inches (50-100 mm) in diameter.
The Sauna Room 2.1. Insulation and Wall Materials of the Sauna Room In an electrically heated sauna, all the massive wall surfaces which store plenty of heat (such as bricks, glass blocks, plaster etc.), must be sufficiently insulated in order to keep the heater output at a reasonably low level.
