WARRANTY
Dundalk LeisureCraft Inc. warrants our saunas against defects in materials and workmanshi under
normal/residential use for a eriod of five (5) years, as a licable, from the date of recei t of the roduct by
the original end-user consumer.
This warranty does not a ly to normal wear and tear and/or natural weather conditions.
This warranty does not cover regular required maintenance of the sauna, (eg. Tightening bands on the barrels,
cleaning or staining the sauna) refer to your sauna assembly manual for maintenance guidelines.
This warranty does not cover misuse or negligence and the manufacturer and associated retailers are not liable
for any injury or damage caused by the roduct.
HOW TO TA E A SAUNA
1. Pre-heat your sauna to the desired tem erature (usually between 80-100°C)
2. While it’s warming u , take a nice hot shower.
3. Enter the re-heated sauna, relax and allow your body to ers ire in the soft dry heat. Do not throw water
on the rocks during the first art of the session.
4. Cool off with a cold shower or a quick swim in a lake or ool.
5. Re-enter the sauna and s rinkle water on the rocks. This will increase humidity to about 30% to assist in
ers iration.
Half a cu every 5 minutes should be enough. Too much water will just cool off the rocks and you’ll get less
steam.
6. After a 20-30 minute sauna, cool off in the shower or lake or ool.
7. Re eat this sauna/cold shower rocess as often as desired.
8. It is im ortant to drink during your sauna session and even a light snack.
9. Like bathing in a hot tub, excessive ex osure can be harmful to a erson’s health. Peo le with oor health
should consult their hysicians before using the sauna.
THESE ARE GUIDELINES ONLY. ENJOY YOUR SAUNA WHATEVER WAY YOU DESIRE.
CHILDREN MUST BE SUPERVISED BY ADULTS.
MAINTAINING YOUR SAUNA AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Wash the layer of rock dust off of the sauna rocks before using them.
2. When your sauna is set u and working you should “break-in” the sauna before using it for the first time.
Turn it on its highest setting and kee it like that for about 1 hour. This is recommended to burn off any oils and
im urities from manufacturing, and it also “cures” the woodwork. After about ¾ hour, slowly our 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 ouring too fast.
3. It is considered good sauna etiquette that guests take a shower with soa and sit on a double-layer of
terrycloth towels to revent ers iration from getting onto the benches and walls where the oils will
accumulate over time.
After each use, leave the door fully o en for the wood to dry out. Duck boards can be lifted u to air out if
necessary.
4. Under normal conditions, a slight wash of the floor and benches several times a year will maintain its
cleanliness.
The cedar benches can be washed with a mild solution of liquid cleaner and water to remove any buildu and
ers iration stains from the wood. Never use ammonia or harsh cleaners as they can turn the wood gray.
5. Good care should be taken of the wooden bucket and ladle. They should be stored u side down to romote
drying.
6. The eridotite sauna rocks may need to be re laced in 6 to 10 years de ending on severity and frequency of
use. In many cases, the rocks could last u to 15 years.
7. Do NOT use commercial wood sealers from local lumberyards or hardware stores. These are not designed to
withstand the sauna tem eratures or humidity!
8. Contact your local dealer or Dundalk LeisureCraft directly if you have questions or concerns regarding your
roduct.
