  • Page 5 Hang the heater on the mounting screws to ensure it is level and that its base sits 5-7” off the floor of the sauna. If these criteria are met, make a mark on the wall of the sauna directly behind one of the rubber gaskets on the lower back of the heater (7);...

  • Page 6: Connecting To Power

    CONNECTING TO POWER • Turn off power to heater at the breaker before beginning installation. Do not turn power on until installation is complete. Failure to turn off the power could lead to electrocution and even death. • • • Do not use ground fault interrupter (GFI), per UL listing and approval.

  • Page 8 PLACING THE STONES • Do not operate the heater without rocks properly installed beyond the initial burn off. This creates a fire risk and damage to the heater. • Before placing or adjusting stones, ensure heater is back to room temperature. Failure to do so may cause burns.

  • Page 9: Temperature Sensor Placement

    TEMPERATURE SENSOR PLACEMENT Mount the sensor housing (the metal component zip tied to the elements in step 1) approximately 14” to the side of the heater and 14” below the highest point of the sauna. If it is too high on the wall or too close to the heater, it will sense that the sauna is hotter than it actually is, triggering a premature shut off (23).
  • Page 10 USING YOUR SAUNA HEATER Your sauna has been paired with an appropriately sized heater to consistently achieve temperatures of 175°-185°F. You should expect your sauna to be at a useable temperature in 45-60 minutes. You have the option to pour water onto the stones to generate steam. Please note, little water is required to achieve this. For most sauna users, a ladle full of water is sufficient.
