Note:
• The electric power cord extends out from under the top of the roof cap. The cord is approximately 9
feet long. It is recommended that the location of the outlet you are installing is accessible without
moving the sauna.
• Dedicated circuit requires that no other appliance should share the outlet/circuit with the sauna.
Failure to comply with this requirement may cause electrical interruption and diminished sauna
performance. If your sauna is the only power being used at time of session on that circuit, then
consider it dedicated.
• It is recommended that a qualified, licensed electrician install your dedicated electrical wiring for
proper sauna function and to avoid any potential electrical hazards.

Unpacking!Your!Sauna!
Your sauna is shipped in 3 boxes, shrink wrapped onto one pallet. After removing the shrink wrap, Identify the
three boxes that arrived in your shipment. Place boxes in an open area. All three boxes are labeled with the
contents inside. It is recommended that a minimum of two people be present for unpacking and assembly.
After removing your boxes from the pallet, you will begin your installation by opening the box labelled
top/bottom.

Before!you!Start/General!Assembly!Guidelines!
INSTALLATION TIPS
• Each panel is heavy. Be careful to avoid injury when installing, especially the top panel.
• Two adults are recommended for the installation of the sauna.
• Use caution when handling the front wall with the glass door keeping it from swinging open during
installation.
• Some customers find it easier to open the boxes outside, and then bring in the individual walls as they
build their sauna. This helps to keep your house clean and the packaging material outside.
TOOLS NEEDED
• Phillips Head Screwdriver (or Phillips drill driver - set on lowest setting)
• Small Step Ladder, Box Blade or cutting tool, for removing packaging tape/shipping straps.
• A friend. Although one person can complete the installation, it is highly recommended to have 2
people. If this will be a 1-person install, then it is recommended to remove the front glass door for
easier installation.
MOVING THE SAUNA AFTER ASSEMBLY
• Depending on your floors surface, your sauna can be slid a short distance after installation. It is
recommended the sauna be pushed from the base as to not knock it off the bottom tracks.

NEW INTER-LOCK SYSTEM
New for 2022, is the redesigned Inter-Lock-System TM (ILS) used to connect the walls together shown in
pictures below. This strong key-lock system allows for fast/strong assembly while keeping the outside clean
and elegant without visible hardware.
The peg you see in the above wall, goes in and down into the key slot in the other wall it mates with here
The panel with the Peg should be lifted up about 3 inches higher than panel with the Key Slot (picture 1).
Place the Peg against the panel with the Key Slot (picture 2) and then slide the panel down until the walls are
equal in height (picture 3 below).

1. Floor Panel
2. Back Panel
3. Left Side Panel (note electric plug needs to be connected on bottom of wall)

Step One: Place the floor panel in the desired location on a level surface. The floor panel must be level before
continuing. If the surface is not level, you may need to shim the bottom panel to make level. The floor Infra-
tile is towards the front of the sauna. Note: Depending on your flooring, the sauna may be shifted a short
distance after assembly in the event you needed access to your electrical outlet. If your floor is not level, you
may hear creaking of the wood when stepping on floor.
Step Two: Place the Back Panel in the slot of the Floor Panel shown below.

9
Step Three: Left Panel Installation
IMPORTANT – The Infra-TileTM floor heater’s cord connects to the bottom of the left wall. With one person
holding the wall up at an angle, attached the male/female plug. Proceed with installing the left wall, while
feeding the wire down in the floors access hole. Be careful to not pinch this plug as you set the wall on the
base. Make sure to lock the panels properly as explained on page 5. For a one person install, a block of wood
or left over packaging can be put under one side of wall while plug is connected.
After connecting the white plug, carefully feed the wire in as the wall is lowered without pinching it.
Important: Double check the pins on the white connections that they are fully inserted into eachother.

10
Step Four: Install the right wall making sure to lock the panels properly as explained on page 5.

11
Step Five: Place the front panel against both side walls making sure the front panel pegs are inserted in the
slots of the of the side panels and pull wall down. The front panel has pegs on each side, so you will lift it up
and down to secure as explained on page 6.
TIP: The bottom of the front panel will fit snug between the floor trim. In the event of the wood expanding in a
humid environment, it may be helpful to step with force on the bottom of the door frame to push the wall
down. For a single person install, it may be easier to remove the glass door for easier handling. This is done by
removing the inside hinge plate/inside of glass door.

12
Step Six: Door Handle Installation (note, your latest edition handle may look different)
Locate the door handle/hardware in its own box included with the sauna (underneath the dust cover).
a. Remove small Allen set screws with included Allen wrench (there should be 4 total)
Step 2) With a Phillips Screwdriver, remove the mounting screws in the handle keeping track of the washers.
On all four parts of the handle, there will be a metal washer followed by a plastic washer. Please note the
order in which they came off, as you will replicate this when you install it on the door.

13
While holding one side of the handle and with the washers attached on both sides, screw the Philips screw
back into the handle as seen below.

14
Lastly, finish the handle installation by putting the other handle in the receiving washer and tighten with the
small Allen screws that were previously set aside.

15
Step Seven:
You will now have only the roof top left. On the upper side of the roof, you will remove the top dust cover.
This is done by removing the phillips screws around the outside of the cover. Set the cover aside and find the
handle and accessory box inside the top and remove them.

16
Next locate all of the plugs and wires on top of the sauna. Sometimes during shipping, they can shift
underneath other wires. Move them so they are easily accessable Place the top panel on top of the sauna
(lights in front/vent in back), and feed the wires from the top of the walls through the corresponding holes of
the top panel, and confirm the following:
• TIP: Leave the door open during the next steps for easy access while installing the door handle
• The top panel’s air vent corresponds to the back of the unit with the outside lights in front.
• The wires coming up into the top are led through each hole smoothly and not pinched.
• The trim of the top panel fits snug around all four side walls (Note: you may need to pull down on the
top as you push/move the walls to secure as it is a snug fit, as the wood may have expanded during
transport).

17
Step Eight: Grab that step stool and connect all of the plugs/wires on top of the sauna. Note that sometimes
the cords will shift during shipping. Follow ALL wires coming up through the walls and make sure they are
connected to their matching wire on top and not pinched between the wall and top. If you don’t see a plug to
attach, look/feel inside until you locate it. While you are on top, check the wire sockets plugged into the back
of the lights that they are snug and didn’t pop off during shipment.
Reinstall the top cover while pushing/pulling the main power cord through the hole on the dust cover. Note
the direction of the cover when installing as the rear metal vent will go directly over the sauna vent.
Step Nine: Plug in the Sauna.

18
Step Ten: You can set the bench in at any time, faceplate in front as shown.
Step Eleven: Install the Cup Holder and Phone/Tablet Holder. These items may be installed in any location
desired, or not at all. Note, that there aren’t any preset screw holes. Many customers choose to use their
sauna for a couple weeks while they decide what location will work best for them.
Please note, you will have different size/extra screws. These are meant for various accessories which
may/may not have been included with your sauna. Choose the screw that is appropriate for the accessory you
choose to use.

19
Step Twelve: Install the Ionizer. When you look inside your sauna, you will see a black wire hanging down
from a side wall. Screw the Ionizer horizontally below the wire, as seen in the picture below. Note that the
disk on the back of the Ionizer can stay in the “on” position.
Step Thirteen: Perform an Operational Check. Proceed to the next page for how to operate your sauna.
