WARNING
SECTION 11: WARNING PLACARDS
SECTION 12: ROOM CONSTRUCTION
For safety purpose sauna
door must open out and not
lock.
Never use a wood stain, seal
or preservative on the inside
of your sauna room.
Light fixtures get very hot
during operation. Locate
light fixture where it will not
be a burn hazard.
Two metal placards are included in the Installation Instruction Envelope
packaged with every Sauna Heater. The CAUTION placard must be attached
to the interior wall of the sauna room directly above the heater where it is
visible to the bather. The WARNING placard must be attached to the door of
the sauna room.
The "CAUTION" and
"WARNING" placards must
be mounted in accordance
with Section 10.
For safety and reliability, the following rules must be addressed.
• No permanent locking or latch system is to be used on the sauna door.
• Acceptable door fittings are: magnetic catches, friction catches, spring
or gravity loaded closures. The door must always open outwards.
• No shower may be installed in a sauna room.
• No electrical receptacle shall be installed inside the sauna room.
• The enclosed WARNING: Reduce the risk of overheating … warning
plate must be mounted on or alongside the door outside the sauna room
at about eye level.
• The enclosed CAUTION: Reduce the risk of fire … caution plate must be
mounted on the interior wall above the heater.
• The heater should not be operated without its container properly filled
with rocks and the rock guard in place.
• If an intercom speaker is installed, it should be away from the heater and
as close to the floor as possible.
• Fire sprinkler systems installed inside any sauna room should be
properly rated for sauna room temperatures.
• Always mount the heater according to these installation instructions.
SECTION 13: VENTILATION
VENTILATION In a private sauna, the air should be changed about 6 times
an hour. This can be achieved by making a vent opening (fresh air inlet) in
the sauna wall directly below the heater. The air outlet must be lower than
the upper benches, as far a s possible from the heater and about two feet
higher than the fresh air inlet vent, See Diagram 9. It is recommended that
ventilation openings meet the requirements of UL Specification 875. The
minimum opening should be determined using one of the following
formulas:
For R<31, V 9.3, For R 31, V 0.3R
where R = the floor area of the room in square feet and
V = the minimum vent size in square inches

INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4211-75 3-24-08 7013618 314 SKPS 12
SECTION 14: MAINTENANCE
The sauna, like a bathroom, should be kept clean and odor free.
Towels or mats should always be used on benches and floor as perspiration otherwise penetrates the soft wood.
Air out the sauna often by keeping the door and vents open when the sauna is not in use. Saunas that are in daily
use should be washed down at least once a week to keep them clean and the air fresh. Duckboard should be
removed from the sauna, the sauna f loor mopped and dried in a conventional manner, and the duckboard thoroughly
scrubbed and dried before returning to the sauna room. The sauna heater should be wiped down occasionally with a
damp cloth to remove lint and dust. The rocks should be removed once a year for cleaning and small or crumbled
rocks replaced.
To clean and remove perspiration stains, use soap or detergent in warm water, best applied with a scrub brush.
Badly soiled surfaces may require sanding. Sand paper wrapped around a wooden block works well.
Benches and supporting structure must be inspected annually for potential deterioration due to age, dry rot or abuse.
Any boards with signs of deteriorations should be replaced immediately to avoid possible injury.
SECTION 15: TROUBLESHOOTING
If control displays "SN" it means no sensor is connected. Refer to Section 5 for sensor installation information.
If control displays "HL" it means the high limit is open. Re fer to Section 9 for high limit information.
For troubleshooting or service questions call 1-888-780-4427 and ask to speak with service. Prior to calling, please
