HEATER INSTRUCTIONS
Your Almost Heaven Sauna is paired with a genuine Finnish heater manufactured by Harvia Oy, the world leader in sauna heaters.
Refer to this guide for installation and operation instructions. Please note, a licensed electrician should perform all electrical
work, and Almost Heaven Saunas staff is available to assist with any questions you or your electrician may have. Please call us at
888-355-3050 for technical assistance.
PERFORMANCE EXPECTATION
Based on its cubic footage, your sauna kit has been paired with an appropriately sized heater to achieve optimal sauna
temperatures. Properly installed, you should expect your KIP heater to consistently heat your sauna to at least 170 F at
approximately head height when sitting on the bench. This temperature should be achieved in 45-60 minutes, although this
timeframe can be longer depending on the ambient temperature outdoors.
Please note, saunas at elevations greater than 5,000' above sea level may not perform as efficiently as they would at sea level.
If you are above this threshold and are not achieving the aforementioned expectations, please contact Almost Heaven Saunas
technical support.
HEATER WARRANTY
Your Harvia heater comes with a 1 year warranty on the heating elements, and a 5 year warranty on the other components.
