SAUNA HEATER WIRING AND HOOKUP
Important! Heaters with built in controls: Before
hooking up electrical wires to junction box of heater,
remove capillary tubing and bulb from junction box
and bring up wall to left or right side of heater.
Cover tubing with wooden molding provided, coil
up excess tubing, and place under heater close to
floor.
Refer to chart on page 5 for proper wire size and
amperage. See page 4 for required clearances. Any
wiring within internal Sauna walls and ceiling must
be rated 194°F (90ºC) and copper wire must be
used. Run wire through seal tight flex conduit from
wall to heater and connect to junction box at back
of heater with 194°F (90º) connector. Connect to
terminals 1 and 2 and connect ground wire to lug
marked ground. (Cover plate under heater must be
removed first.)
Note! If connection to heater will be made at a later
time, bring flex into Sauna room 4–6" (100 – 150
mm) from floor, and leave 3' (900 mm) of flex for
hookup (can be cut to right length later).
SAUNA TIMERS
Heaters have a 60 min. timer (0 to large 1 on the
dial), and if you wish to use the full 60 min. cycle,
turn the timer knob past the first 1 to number 2
or 3 on the dial. Then turn backward to the large
1 until a click is heard. Leave knob at the setting,
and Sauna will operate for 1 hour before shutting
off automatically.
Allow at least 30 minutes for room to heat up to
an average Sauna temperature. Note!! If you set
timer past first 1, timer will not come on until the
time set has elapsed. The 60 min. timer is quiet. It
does not tick.
Timers have an added feature--an 8 hour time
clock (small 1 to 8 on the timer dial). If you wish to
preset your Sauna heater to automatically turn on
when you are away, you may preset up to 8 hours
in advance of Sauna bathing.
For eg., if you set the timer knob at number 3
setting, the Sauna heater will turn on 3 hours later,
and will be ready for useage in 3 1/2 hours (allowing
for 1/2 hour heat up time). The heater will shut off
automatically in another half hour, and if you wish
to continue using Sauna, reset the 60 min. timer
back up to the large 1.

Before testing heater, fill rock cavity with igneous
stones purchased from an official Harvia distribu-
tor and fasten metal rock guard at top of heater.
(See general info concerning washing and placing
of stones.)
Be sure to cover thermostat bulb with protec-
tive metal cover by threading bulb through holes in
cover, and fasten bulb cover to wall with screws
provided. Also, take care when nailing protective
wood strips over capillary tubing, so that nails do
not puncture tubing. If punctured, entire thermostat
must be replaced.
Important! Heater must be connected to a stan-
dard 2-pole breaker, no GFI may be used. If this
heater is connected to a GFI breaker, nuisance trip-
ping may occur causing unnecessary and unintend-
ed wear on internal components. If connected to a
GFI breaker, warranty on internal components will
be voided.
Heaters have a heat control (thermostat) which
must be set between minimum and maximum
heating, or the timer will not cause the Sauna to
heat. Put heat control setting to maximum, heat
Sauna for 1/2 to 1 hour to observe adequate Sauna
temperature. If room is too hot, adjust heat control
knob back toward minimum setting, until desired
temperature is reached.
