ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
COPENHAGEN - 10AMPS
The Copenhagen sauna is provided with a pre-connected 10A lead and plug.
This can be plugged into a regular household socket and will draw close to
10A. We recommend trying to install on a electrical circuit that does not share
with other large electrical appliances.
HELSINKI - 15AMPS
The Helsinki is provided with pre-connected 15A lead and plug. This cannot
be plugged into a regular 10A household socket. You will need an electrician
to install a 15A socket capable of receiving the plug.
An RCD is not installed on the sauna.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
1. Install the sauna on a hard, level surface.
2. Iftheoorsurfaceiscool,installaformofinsulationbetweenthebottomofthe
sauna and the ground such as rubber matting.
3. Donotstoreammableobjectsorchemicalsubstancesnearthesauna.
4. The sauna must only be placed indoors and never outside.
5. Forthesaunatooperateasintendedandheateciently,itshouldbeplacedina
warm room, and not somewhere cold such as a garage. The heating capability of
the sauna will be impacted by the ambient air temperature of the room it’s placed
in. While the sauna can be set to a temperature of 70 degrees, the expected max
temperature it should reach shall be roughly ambient air temperature + 40 degrees.
6. We recommend two persons to assemble the sauna.

4
Place the base close to the desired end location. You will
need to leave space around each side for access. Locate
the front glass wall and position this into place.
While one person holds the front wall in place, position
the left hand side in place and lower it onto the front
wall using the metal clasps.
Repeat this step on the right hand side.
Slide the bench heater panel down into place following the support guides on the side walls, secure on the sides using
the 4* 40mm screws. The heater grill should face towards the front of the sauna. Install the bench support beam using 2x
4*40mm screws. Connect the four sets of cables behind the bench heater panel displayed below.
TIP: Sometimes cables can be stuck in the holes of the wall. If one seems to be missing, double check inside the wall panel
oroorpanelholes.
Install the bench seat braces to combine the two bench seat segments together and place it over the bench heater, do not
secure this in palce yet.

Securethebenchseatoverthebenchheaterandxeachsidedownusing2x4*40mmscrews.Alongscrewdrivermaybe
required to screw downwards as the side panel heater can get in the way.
Locate the back rest and position it against the back wall, making sure the LED light strip is at the top. The base of the
backrest should be sitting 2 slats past the pre-drilled screw hole on the bench seat.
Attach the LED plug on the top right hand side of the back rest and push any excess cable into the hole in the wall. Don’t
push the plug through the hole as it will be hard to remove if required. Secure the backrest in place using the 6*55mm
screws using the pre-drilled holes.
TIP: Make sure the arrows on the plugs are facing each other.

8.
Position the back wall in place and secure it to the left
and right side walls using 3x 6*55mm bolts on each side.
Install the 2x metal brackets using the 3*30mm screws
to secure the front panel to the side walls.

Attach the door handles together (through the glass
door frame) using the 6*75mm door screws provided.
The wooden handle should be on the inside of the door
(inside the sauna) to avoid it getting hot.
Connect the front heaters to the sauna at the front
left and right of the glass (on the inside) by joining the
corresponding plugs together. Screw both heaters into
place using the dome head screws.
TIP: Once the cables are plugged in, you may need to
pushtheexcesscabledownintotheoortopreventthe
excess cable becoming pinched or visible.

12. Plug in all the black heater cables into the controller.
These will have lettered labels on the collar of the plug
which correspond to the controller plugs.
Next, make sure all the cables are on the outside of the walls. Locate the roof and orientate it so the vent is in the back right
hand corner of the sauna. Gently place it in position, making sure no cables are being pinched. Secure it in place using the
4*40mm screws in the pre-drilled holes.

Plug in the control panel cable into the ‘CONTROL’ input. Carefully attach the white LED cable in the back right hand corner,
into the black LED cable.
TIP: Make sure the arrows on the plugs are facing each other.
Before moving forward, it’s advised to plug in your sauna and make sure all heaters and lights work as expected.
Position the roof cover in place, making sure the vent & controller cut-outs are at the rear. Pull the power cable through
the circle cut-out. Secure the roof cover using the 3*15mm screws.

1. POWERING ON/OFF
Plug the main power cord into the wall outlet.
Press the “Power” ( ) button once.
The control panel should beep and is now in standby mode, but the heaters are not on by
default.
To turn the sauna o, hold the power button down for 5 seconds.
2. TURNING ON/OFF THE HEATERS
To turn the heaters on, while in standby mode, press the “Power” button once to activate the
heaters.
The “Heating” icons ( ) will turn on, which indicates the heaters are active.
The default heat temperature is set to max (70°C).
To turn the heaters o, press the “Power” button once.
3. TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
To set the temperature, press the “Temperature” button ( ) once and then use the “UP’ &
“DOWN” ( ) arrows to change the desired temperature (20 - 70°C).
Temperature can be set on the control panel between 20 - 70°C, however the standard average
temperature the sauna will reach will be between 50 - 60°C as heating greatly depends on
external ambient temperature. The max temperature equation works roughly to be [Ambient Room Temp + 40°C].
(E.g in a cold garage the sauna will struggle to reach 50°C so it’s recommended to place it in a warm room where possible.)
Once set, the temperature display will show the current actual temperature inside the sauna.
5 seconds without adjustment will exit the temperature adjustment mode.
When the heating sauna reaches the set temperature level on the control panel, all of the
heaters will be reduced to operate at 25% power.

4. ADJUSTING THE HEATER STRENGTH
All the heaters are divided into 3 groups and the power of each group can be controlled at
100%, 75%, 50%, 25%. To change the heater power level, press the corresponding ( ) button
to cycle through the levels.
Thelevelsoftheheatersprovidedierentinfraredwavelengths.
Far-Infrared (FIR) : 3,000nm - 1mm (IR-C) 100% heater working power
Mid-Infrared (MIR) : 1,400nm - 3,000nm (IR-B) 75% heater working power
Near-Infrared (NIR) : 700nm - 1,400nm (IR-A) 25 - 50% heater working power
5. SETTING SESSION TIMER
To set the timer, press the “Timer” ( ) button once and then use the “UP’ & “DOWN” ( )
arrows to change the desired session time (1 minute increments). You can hold down the “UP’
& “DOWN” arrows to speed up the increments.
5 seconds without adjustment will exit the time adjustment mode.
Once set, the time display will show the remaining minutes until the session ends and the
heaters are disabled.
6. LIGHTING
To turn the lights on, press the bottom ‘Light” ( ) button once.
Once the light is on, continue to press the “light” button to cycle through the available colours
( White, red, green, blue, orange, yellow, light pink). The last option in the cycle is ‘auto’ mode
which will automatically ‘step’ through the colours in a cycle.
To turn the lights o, hold down the same ‘Light” button for 3 seconds.
11

7. PRESET PROGRAM MODE
The system has 3 preset programmes which automatically set the time and the percentage of
the heaters. Each mode is specially designed to gain the most out of the sauna depending on
your intended use.
To turn on a ‘Preset Program’, press the “Program” ( ) button to cycle through each mode.
