lag screws (supplied with the heater) into the
two lower mounting holes.

manufacturing process before using.
*The wiring for the electric heater most times enters the sauna underneath the heater as shown in the above 2 pictures.

Locate the pieces for your heater guard.
The heater guard contains 2 Assembled side
pieces,2 heater guard supports and hardware.
Stand the 2 Assembled side pieces of the heater
guard on edge with pre-drilled holes on the
bottom.
Screw heater guard support to either side using
(2) – 1 ½” (38mm) screws per side.
Assemble remaining heater guard support to the
2 ends in the same manner as previous step.
Place assembled heater guard around electric
heater and screw to wall using (4) 2 ½” (64mm)
screws.
*Make sure heater guard is level before
securing.
Wash the layer of rock dust off of the sauna rocks before using them.
When your sauna is set up and working you should “break-in” the sauna before using it for the first time by
turning on the heater to its highest setting and operate it for about 1 hour.
This is recommended to burn off any oils and impurities from manufacturing, and it also “cures” the woodwork.
After about ¾ hour, slowly pour about one litre of cold water on the rocks.
It should all turn to steam and not come out of the bottom of the heater. If it does, you’re pouring too fast.

method, then use a reciprocating saw to cut out the
circle as neat as possible.

the sauna, locate the center of the pipe and use a pen or
pencil to mark the roof.
