Read this entire manual through to the end before proceeding with the assembly.
CHECK YOUR BOXES
Be sure to immediately check your boxes against your shipping list and bill of lading to make sure all boxes are
there. Examine for any damage and notify Almost Heaven Saunas if there needs to be a repair or replacement of
damaged or missing materials.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
All electrical wiring must be performed by A QUALIFIED LICENSED ELECTRICIAN. Because of the heat
involved in the sauna, it is required that you use copper wire with 90ºC insulation. Do not use aluminum wire to
make the connection. Consult with an electrician so you can determine the requirements for your particular
situation. All wiring must conform to all national, state and local codes and regulations and according to the
instructions provided with the heater.
LOCATING THE SAUNA
Your Bluestone Indoor Sauna was specifically designed to utilize your existing floor. As such, assembly is made
very simple since the entire sauna sits on pre-fabricated rails and risers rather than on an integral floor platform.
Your sauna can be assembled on any surface that is firm and flat, including concrete, ceramic, vinyl, laminate, or
tile. (Installation on a carpeted surface is not recommended.)
ASSEMBLY
You should use two people for the assembly of the Bluestone Sauna. The wall and roof sections are large and
need two people to lift and hold in place during assembly.
BASIC TOOLS
You should have the following tools:
- Cordless drill for driving screws
- 1/8” drill bit
- Stepladder or stool
- Rubber mallet
- Claw hammer
- Screwdriver (Phillips and Flathead)
- Framing square
- Utility knife
- Level

1. Connect the 4 FLOOR RISERS
Your existing floor will serve as the floor for your sauna. The
pre-fabricated rails and risers will be placed on your existing
floor and provide the structural support for the sauna room. The
4 floor risers are pre-drilled and are assembled with 2” screws.
Measure to make sure the frame is square before driving screws.
NOTE: Use level to make sure your surface is flat before you
begin assembly. If it is not perfectly even, you may use shims
during assembly and remove them when complete.
2. Position the WALL SUPPORT RAILS
Place the 4 wall support rails with the groove facing up on top of
the assembled floor riser. Using 2” screws through the pre-
drilled holes, draw the corners tight.
3. Fasten WALL SUPPORT RAILS
Using 2” screws, attach the support rails to the floor riser; be
sure the groove is facing up.
Use 4 screws for each rail, and make sure the the rails are square
with the risers by measuring the perimeter to make sure all
dimensions are equal all the way around.
Note: Making sure the support frame is square is important for the proper assembly of the remainder of the
sauna. You want to make sure this setup phase is done correctly.

6. Position WALL SECTION C
Connect Wall Section C to Wall Section B by way of
their tongue-and-groove profile — no screws required.

12. Drill Hole for LIGHT CORD
The LED lighting comes in-stalled on the back of the
Back Rest. Find the cord coming from the light switch
and drill a small hole in Wall Section C to insert the
Light Cord through so it comes through to the outside
of the sauna.
11. Attach BACK REST
Measure the desired height at which you want to install the back rest
(suggested: 8-12” above the bench, centered on the wall). Use 2” screws
and pre-drilled holes to attach the Back Rest to Wall Sections F.
13. Mount POWER SUPPLY
Use provided screws to position Power Supply where it is most
convenient for you on the outside of Wall Section C.
Optional: Secure excess wire with zip tie or some other fastener
as desired.
14. Connect to POWER SUPPLY
Plug the Cord into the Power Supply. Plug the Power Supply into any wall
outlet, and flip the switch mounted on the back of the bench to operate the
LED light.
15. Attach VENT COVER
Screw the Vent Cover over the vents on Wall Section C using the pre-drilled
hole.
NOTE: Tighten only enough so vent cover will turn freely over vents.

16. Build ROOF SUPPORT
Assemble 4 roof support rails by drawing corners together with 2”
screws through the pre-drilled holes.
NOTE: Be sure that the rails are square and level and that the screw
head does not protrude into the groove.
17. Attach ROOF SUPPORT over walls
Position the completed Roof Support over the wall sections. Once in
place on all 4 sides, use 2” screws to attach Roof Support to wall
sections. Use 3-4 evenly spaced screws per rail.
NOTE: Tap the Roof Support firmly in place with a rubber mallet so
wall sections are fully inserted into the groove before screwing into
place.
18. Position ROOF SECTIONS
Place two Roof Sections on top of the Roof Support, nesting the tongue
of one section into the groove of the other. Measure around perimeter
before fastening to be sure distance from edge is equal.
Tip: Before positioning the second roof section, fasten the first one in
place so that when you exert pressure to nest them together, you don’t
push them off.
19. Fasten ROOF SECTIONS
Using 2” screws, fasten Roof Sections to Roof Support using pre-drilled
holes.
NOTE: Be sure to keep even distance from edge of Roof Section edges and
Roof Support edges around perimeter of sauna as measured in step 17.

20. Attach ROOF TRIM
Find the package of 2 Roof Trim pieces and attach to the raw edge of the
Roof Sections with finish nails, one piece on the front and one on the back.
NOTE: The trim pieces are not pre-drilled. You may install using finish
nails.
21. HEATER INSTALLATION
Mount the heater as shown in the manufacturer's instructions. The heater should be
mounted on Wall Section A, over the vents and 7” from the floor of the sauna. All
the necessary hardware is supplied with the heater.
Drill a hole below and behind the heater to run the wire and/or conduit according to
local electrical codes. The heater will be hard-wired according to the specific wiring
requirements for your heater.
Do not attempt to wire the heater yourself. Contact a licensed electrician in
accordance with your local electrical codes. Heater brand may vary depending on
where the sauna was purchased. Install sauna stones in accordance with heater
manufacturer instructions.
Typical wiring requirements for distances of up to 30 feet from the breaker box are as follows:
4.5kw-6.0kw heaters require 10-2 w/ground, copper wire only, and 30amp non-GFCI breaker.
8.0kw heater requires 8-2 w/ground, copper wire only, and 40amp non-GFCI breaker.
22. Your fence kit will arrive
banded with stretch wrap. It
consists of four pieces,
shown here.
23. Prop up the pre-assembled
portion and attach the two long
horizontal pieces. Make sure the
countersunk holes on the wall
mounting bracket face inward.
24. Attach the final piece—the
remaining vertical fence post. When
complete, position the fence around
the heater and use the pre-drilled
holes to attach it to the wall.

25. Attach DOOR KNOB
Take the two sections of the door knob and
insert the thread through the hole in the door.
Tighten so that handles are snug to glass.
NOTE: Hand tighten only and be sure rubber
gas-ket is between knob and glass.

OPERATION
After the sauna has been installed, sweep down the inside to remove any sawdust and wood shavings, and then
vacuum completely. Using a damp cloth and warm water, wipe down the entire sauna including the benches to
remove any remaining dirt, dust and debris. Rinse off the sauna stones and install them in or on the heater in
accordance with the heater manufacturer’s instructions. Improper placement of heater stones can result in lower
than desired heat temperatures. The first time you turn the heater on, set it to the maximum setting and operate it
for about 30 minutes with the door propped open. Then close the door and allow your sauna to come up to the
desired temperature.
Since you most likely will use your sauna as both a "wet sauna" and a "dry sauna", you should install the sauna
stones that have been included with the heater, following the manufacturer’s instructions. These stones are
necessary if water will be sprinkled on the heater to create the "wet sauna", and they will produce more consistent
heating in the dry mode (without the use of water). It is common for a stone to occasionally crack during initial
heating. If excess amounts of water are used during sauna, prop door open to let the humidity es-cape. Not much
water is necessary to achieve a “wet sauna”.
The amount of ventilation in the sauna can be adjusted by means of the vent located toward the top of the sau-na. It
is important to have adequate fresh air flowing through the sauna, and this flow can be adjusted with the movable
vent cover.
TRADITIONAL STEPS IN TAKING A SAUNA BATH
STEP #1 - Set your heater so that the sauna room achieves the desired temperature, usually between 150º F and
170º F. As a novice, you should begin at the lower end of this range and work your way up to the higher
temperatures over several sauna baths.
STEP #2 - Remove all clothing (except maybe your swimsuit), eyeglasses, contact lenses, jewelry, etc. Take a
quick shower with warm water and soap, or a quick dip in your hot tub.
STEP #3 - Enter the sauna initially for about 5 to 15 minutes. Bring a towel into the sauna onto which you can sit
or lay. Leave the sauna room once you have begun to perspire freely.
STEP #4 - Now you may take a cold plunge in your swimming pool, shower or snow bank. After that, relax and
cool down for another 10 to 20 minutes.
STEP #5 - Re-enter the sauna. On this return visit you may wish to sprinkle small amounts of water onto the stones
creating bursts of steam. If the water spills through the heater and onto the floor, you are using too much, although
this will not hurt the heater or the sauna.
STEP #6 - After your final visit to the sauna, relax for at least 20 minutes. Shower with soap and warm water.
Finish your shower with cooler water to close the pores of your skin. Dress only after you have cooled down
completely.
NOTE: Whatever your sauna regimen, it is important that you keep yourself hydrated by drinking plenty of
water!
