INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION FOR ALL SAUNACORE KW
HEATING UNITS
SAUNACORE KW is installed in a corner of the Sauna room or on
the straight wall by means of two mounting brackets (see
illustration).
The unit should be placed 2" inches (minimum) from the floor,
and not closer than 45 inches to the ceiling.
Lift the unit 2 inches (minimum) from the floor, hold it against
the corner or straight wall and mark the location. Fasten the
brackets with 1-1/2" mounting screws supplied. Be sure that the
mounting screws are fastened not only through the soft wood lining
of the sauna room but also into a solid piece of strapping, 2"x 4"
etc., to hold the weight of the unit (approximately 50lbs.with the
rocks).
First perform the electrical hook up. CAUTION: This work should be
done by a Licensed Electrician. Then slide the unit back onto the
brackets. The Saunacore heating units that do not have a control
built in should mount the control box on the outside wall of the
sauna room beside the door. The thermostat sensor bulb only, is to
be located inside the sauna room and is to be mounted on the
ceiling above the SAUNACORE heater.
For electrical hook up follow the wiring diagram. This work should
be done by a Licensed Electrician only.
Do not install a Showerhead or water spraying device above
the heating unit.
All wiring to the SAUNACORE heater must be routed away from any
direct radiation from the SAUNACORE Heating unit, and be
made with liquid tight conduit.
SAUNA ROCKS
After installation of the SAUNACORE Heating unit, carefully place all
the igneous Sauna rocks which are supplied onto the rock basket at the
top of the sauna stove. Rocks do not make contact with heating element
THIS UNIT MUST BE OPERATED WITH THE ROCKS IN PLACE.
SAUNA ROCKS
Placement of Sauna Rocks
Do not operate the sauna heater without the stones. Use only the
stones that are supplied with the sauna heater. Wash stones with
water and place them inside of the heater so that rocks are
between and around the heating elements onto adjustable tray.
Take care, however, not to force the rocks between the elements.
Use smaller stones first and continue to fill the heater with larger stones.
You may not need all of the stones. Make sure the adjustable rock tray
is not lower than level 3 in the heater cavity
STONES SHOULD BE PLACED LOOSELY WITHIN THE HEATER SO
THAT THERE IS AMPLE HEAT CIRCULATION AROUND THEM. STONES
SHOULD ALSO COVER THE HEATING ELEMENTS COMPLETELY!
POURING WATER DIRECTLY ON EXPOSED ELEMENTS COULD
GREATLY DECREASE THE LIFE OF THE ELEMENTS!
