1.3. Using the Heater
Heater models are equipped with a timer and a ther-
mostat. The timer is for setting the on-time for the
heater (60 minutes) and the thermostat is for setting
a suitable temperature. 1.3.1.–1.3.4.
1.3.1. Heater On
Turn the timer switch (section A in figure
3) past the first 1 to number 2 or 3 on the
dial. Then turn backward to the first 1
until you hear a click. The heater starts
heating immediately. Allow at least 30 minutes for
sauna room to heat up to an average Sauna
temperature.
1.3.2. Pre-setting Time (timed switch-on)
Turn the timer switch to the "pre-setting"
section (section B in figure 3, 0–8 hours).
The heater starts heating when the timer
has turned the switch back to the "on"
section (section A in figure 3). After this, the heater
will be on for an hour.
Example: You want to go walking for two and half
hours and have a sauna bath after that. Turn the
timer switch to the "pre-setting" section at number
2.
The timer starts. After two hours, the heater
starts heating. Because it takes about half an hour
for the sauna room to be heated, it will be ready
for bathing after about two and half hours, that is,
when you come back from your walk.

1.3.3. Heater Off
The heater switches off, when the timer
turns the switch back to zero. You can
switch the heater off at any time by
turning the timer switch to zero yourself.
Switch the heater off after bathing. Sometimes it
may be advisable to leave the heater on for a while
to let the wooden parts of the sauna dry properly.
Always check that the heater has switched
off and stopped heating after the timer has
turned the switch to zero.
1.3.4. Setting the Temperature
The purpose of the thermostat (figure 3) is to keep
the temperature in the sauna room on a desired
level. By experimenting, you can find the setting
that suits you best.
Begin experimenting at the maximum position. If,
during bathing, the temperature rises too high, turn
the switch counter-clockwise a little. Note that even
a small difference within the maximum section will
change the temperature of the sauna considerably.
1.4. Throwing Water on Heated Stones
The air in the sauna room becomes dry when warmed
up. Therefore, it is necessary to throw water on the
heated stones to reach a suitable level of humidity in
the sauna. The effect of heat and steam on people
varies – by experimenting, you can find the levels of
temperature and humidity that suit you best.
You can adjust the nature of the heat from soft to
sharp by throwing water either to the front of the
heater or straight on top of the stones.
