Commissioning 5. Commissioning Before the heater can be commissioned (switched on), it must be filled with sauna stones, which are available as optional accessories. The heater is switched and controlled via the control unit. A power extension unit (LSG), if available, will be switched together with the sauna control unit. WARNING Fire hazard Objects placed on the heater could catch fire.
Commissioning ► Filling the rock store Wash the stones under running water. WARNING! Sauna stones that are stacked too tightly obstruct the flow of air. The heater could overheat. Place the stones loosely. Fill the stones into the rock store up to the top edge. Leave sufficient space between stones.
Commissioning 5.4 Water splash Before the first water splash can begin, the cabin must be sufficiently heated. The tem- perature in the cabin is controlled from the control unit via the temperature sensor. The control panel indicates when the desired temperature has been reached. WARNING Fire hazard from overheating Incorrectly diluted sauna essences, essential oils or herbs can catch fire.
Service 6. Service This sauna heater is made of low-corrosion material. To ensure a long service life, take care of and perform regular maintenance on your sauna heater. Ensure that openings in the intake area and heat reflectors are never blocked. These can easily become blocked with lint and dust as fresh air is drawn in.
Service 6.2 Checking and replacing the sauna stones Heating and cooling can cause the sauna stones to become brittle, or aggressive in- fusions can corrode them and cause them to disintegrate over time. This causes small particles to break free from the stones making the gaps between the stones smaller. This means that hot air can no longer rise between the stones.
Maintenance 7. Maintenance 7.1 Replacing the heating elements The following description explains how to replace a heating element. The connec- tion terminals for the connection cable are located in the middle on the detachable sides of the sauna heater.
