1.3. Heating of the Sauna Using the Steamer

With the Combi heater, the sauna can be heated
either in the usual way or by using its evaporator.
Always fill the water reservoir before use!
•
The evaporator has a 1,3 gal (5 l) water tank
•
so it can be on continuously for approximately
2 hours. The tank should be filled when the
heater is cold.

1.3.1. Filling the Water Reservoir

Fill the reservoir with clean household water always
before use. The maximum capacity of the reservoir
is approximately 1,3 gal (5 litres). Figure 2.

Drain the water from the reservoir always after use
when the water has cooled down. This procedure
removes impurities condensed in the reservoir as
result of evaporation.

Filling System
Combi heaters that have an automatic water filling
system fill the tank automatically if the evaporator
is in the ON-position.

Liquid fragrances and fragrance bags can be used
in the steamer. Liquid fragrances are poured into
the stone cups in the steamer. Fragrance bags are
placed on top of the steam grating.
When using fragrances, mind the hot steam
