The Hybrid Sauna
Congratulations on the purchase of your brand new infrared/traditional sauna. Please
carefully review and read through this material. Keep this manual and your
proof of purchase for future reference and service calls.

WELCOME FRIENDS!
We are so delighted that you have decided to take control of your life and invest in the most
important thing – your health. Soon you will discover there is more to a sauna than just “sweating”.
But first, allow us to introduce our company, what we do, why we do it and what you can expect from
us.
We began our journey a decade ago with one goal in mind… To create an Optimal Health Product. We
knew that general surface health treatments combined with inner cleansing could benefit many and
provide many positive health results.
However, through the thorough cleansing methods we have tested, many of us have experienced
headaches during a detox diet as well as lacking the ability to properly detoxify our system. There it
hit us…What if we can increase our ability to sweat to detoxify the system faster and more efficiently
without the unwelcome side effects? And how can we go about it?
Saunas have been in wide use for centuries, but the true breakthrough happened when the power of
Infrared Light was introduced into the unique health industry, specializing in detoxification and
cleansing. After much research and testing, we realized the benefits of infrared light are far more
reaching than just on the surface, or slightly underneath the skin. This was truly an extraordinary
discovery for us and we have devoted our primal business focus on exclusive manufacturing of
infrared sauna that would maximize healing potential and maintain an optimal healthy physique. The
understanding became a connection of dot – to- dot and we fell in love with our product so much, our
team uses infrared saunas daily.
Now you can have the best of two worlds, Infrared and Traditional Sauna Experience in one with our
Hybrid models. We wish to share this technology and to show our passion for what we sell and
believe in. It is truly part of our personal journey, healing and inner belief that infrared saunas are safe
and incredibly effective sources for personal detoxification and more.
Please let us know if there is anything you need. We are here to help.
Happy Detox!

What You Need to Prepare Before Installing the Sauna
1. Choose the right Outdoor space and clear it out for the sauna.
2. When determining a location for your sauna, please keep in mind the following:
●The main power cord on the sauna must be easily accessible.
○When facing the sauna, the cord is located behind the back wall in the lower left
hand side corner.
●The location must be dry and leveled.
3. You will need a solid and leveled base. The sauna cannot sit straight on the ground.
4. Check the Electrical requirementsfor your specific unit and make sure you have it available.
Please contact an electrician if you require assistance with this.
5. For a traditional heating system: Hardwire is recommended. Plug can be sent separately if
preferred. For Infrared: it is a plug.
6. Prepare a Sealant to seal the sauna during the Installation of the sauna.
7. Tools: Phillips screwdriver, flat screwdriver, sealant gun. An Electric screwdriver will speed up
the process.
8. Print or have your manual available during the installation.
9. Tech support for installation is available only at pre-scheduled time. Submit a ticket online to
schedule time prior 72 hours of installation.
Electrical Components/Requirements
Please Read Carefully!
Traditional Heating System/Harvia: Hardwire is recommended, if you opt for a plug, we will send you
a plug for the BC45-E heater specs.
Each hybrid sauna will require 2 dedicated circuits when plugged into an outlet according to the chart
below. A “dedicated circuit” requires that no other appliance should share the outlet/circuit with the
sauna. Failure to comply with this requirement may cause an electrical interruption and/or a
diminished performance. To avoid any potential electrical hazards, it is recommended that only a
qualified electrician installs your dedicated electrical wiring for a proper sauna functionality. Please
make sure that the sauna is properly grounded. Serious injury may result if the proper electrical
requirements are not met.

WARNING! Keep the sauna away from any potential hazards, including any water source or liquids
(for Infrared heaters, pouring water over Harvia heater is allowed). Select a dry, suitable location for
sauna installation. Do not expose the heater elements to any water source or liquids as it may cause
electrical shock. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the supplier.

Choosing Sauna’s Location
Your Enlighten outdoor sauna can stand outside without any cover or protection. The sauna requires
a solid and level surface that will not flood. The saunas are very heavy so a solid foundation is highly
recommended.
While Enlighten Outdoor saunas are specifically designed to be placed outdoors, choosing a location
without excessive rain and wind is recommended.
Installation requirements for your sauna are as follows:
1. Your Enlighten sauna is a self-contained and freestanding unit. It should not be built into any
structure without prior authorization.
2. Any modifications made to the sauna can waive the warranty, please get authorization before
proceeding.
7

3. Please maintain a minimum of 4-inch clearance on all sides of the unit to allow air to circulate while
giving access for the power cord.
Sealant Application
VERY IMPORTANT: Please follow these steps during installation as they are very
important to ensure the sauna is properly installed.
1. Prepare before the installation and use similar sealant to prevent any leaks from
happening:
2. Apply sealant on the sides (as shown on the images) as well as on the bottom and
top of walls.
8

Cleaning and Maintenance
1. Before using your sauna for the first time, clean the inside of the sauna with a clean damp cloth.
2. Make sure to always keep the sauna dry and clean.
3. Use a clean damp towel. DO NOT use a towel that is too wet and can drip water inside the sauna
and DO NOT use cleaning agents inside the sauna.
4. DO NOT leave towels, water glasses or bottles inside the sauna after use. Wipe the exterior
surface of the sauna with a towel and clean the glass at least once a month.
5. Place a towel on the bench to absorb any perspiration. Wash these often to maintain a clean and
pleasant environment inside your sauna.
6. Perspiration may darken the wood over time. This can be removed by a light sanding with fine grit
sandpaper.
Wood Care
If the sauna exterior body has become scratched or scuffed, it could be concealed by using a small
amount of furniture polish, oil or other furniture treatment. The interior blemishes, scratches, or
scuffs can be either left alone, sanded or a combination of gluing plus sanding. Avoid any treatment
containing benzene or a high concentration of alcohol.
Outdoor models' bodies need to be maintained on a regular basis (between 6 months to a year) by
polishing or resealing the body as needed. If the varnish is cracked or worn off, sand the surface and
re-varnish the affected area. Consult your local handyman or furniture repair professional for more
9

details on how to maintain the wood in an outdoor environment. You can use any outdoor exterior
clear wood sealer.

Sauna Assembly: Panel Locking Systems
Each sauna offers two types of panel-locking systems to connect the different sides of the sauna.
Please use the instructions below as a reference guide on how to connect the sauna panels.
11

Inner-Locking System:
The inner-locking system is designed to be completely invisible when the sauna is installed. The locks
are built on the side of each panel and they connect by sliding one over the other (Figure G-2).
To connect two panels, follow these few steps:
Figure G-1: Connect panels, inner
lock system
1. Lift the panel with the male locks a few inches.
2. Push it against the opposite panel; make sure to
apply pressure around the top and bottom
corners.
3. Slide the panel down to lock it in place. Make sure
all the locks are connected (top and bottom).
4. Inspect the panels and make sure they are leveled
(the panel's top is flat and matching).
Figure G-2: Inner-Locking System
Latch System:
The Latch Locking System is two brackets that lock together bypassing the main loop over the
opposite side and locking latch (Figure G-3).
12

Figure G-3: Latch Locking System
Where to Start:
Lay the boxes flat on the ground and open them carefully. The accessories and smaller parts are
located in the box that includes the top and bottom panels (Figure G-4).

Step 1. Begin with the FLOOR PANEL Placement
Place the floor panel flat on the desired location. Make sure to leave a space around the sidewalls for
one person to stand and install the side panels (Figure C-1). You can slide the sauna once it’s complete
next to a wall.
Tips:
●Check the trim for the bench on the floor to locate the proper positioning of the floor panel.
The side where the bench is will be the back side of the sauna, where the X is shown in the
picture.
Figure C-1: Floor Panel
14

Step 2. REAR PANEL Placement
Place the rear panel on the back end of the floor panel. At this point, someone should hold the rear
panel until the next connection is made.
Step 3. LEFT PANEL Placement
Install the left panel (the left panel has 2-4 sockets on the lower end) as the image below. Make sure
the top of both panels is flat and leveled.
Refer to the “Connecting the Panels” section on how to lock the panels together.
Step 4 and 5. SIDE PANELS Placement
Connect the side panels to the back panel as in the image below (Figure C-2).
Refer to the “Connecting the Panels” section on how to lock the panels together.

Installing the Bench and Other Panels.
Step 6. Heater Installation.
These instructions for installation and use are intended for the owner or the person in charge of the
sauna, as well as for the electrician in charge of the electrical installation of the heater. After
completing the installation, the person in charge of the installation should give these instructions to
the owner of the sauna or to the person in charge of its operation. Please read the instructions for use
carefully before using the heater.
The heater is designed for the heating of a sauna room to bathing temperature. It is not to be used for
any other purpose. Sauna heaters equipped with CE signs meet all of the regulations for sauna
installations. Proper authorities monitor that the regulations are being followed.
Congratulations on your choice!

Instructions For Harvia Heater Use
Piling of the Sauna Stones
The piling of the sauna stones has a great effect on the functioning of the heater (figure 1).
Important information on sauna stones:
The stones are provided with the sauna, but if you choose to buy additional stones, please see below:
●The stones should be 5–10 cm in diameter.
●Use solely angular split-face sauna stones that are intended for use in a heater. Peridotite,
olivine-dolerite and olivine are suitable stone types.
●Neither light, porous ceramic “stones“ nor soft soapstones should be used in the heater. They do
not absorb enough heat when warmed up. This can result in damage in heating elements.
●Wash off dust from the stones before piling them into the heater.
Please note when placing the stones:
●Do not drop stones into the heater.
●Do not wedge stones between the heating elements.
●Place the stones sparsely to ensure that air can circulate between them.
●Pile the stones so that they support each other instead of lying their weight on the heating
elements.
●Do not form a high pile of stones on top of the heater.
●No such objects or devices should be placed inside the heater stone space or near the heater that
could change the amount or direction of the air flowing through the heater.
Figure 1. Piling of the sauna stones
20

Maintenance of the Stones
Due to large variation in temperature, the sauna stones disintegrate in use. Rearrange the stones at
least once a year or even more often if the sauna is in frequent use. At the same time, remove any
pieces of stones from the bottom of the heater and replace any disintegrated stones with new ones.
By doing this, the heating capability of the heater stays optimal and the risk of overheating is
avoided.
Heating of the Sauna
When operating the heater for the first time, both the heater and the stones emit a smell. To remove
the smell, the sauna room needs to be efficiently ventilated.
If the heater output is suitable for the sauna room, it will take about an hour for a properly insulated
sauna to reach the required bathing temperature.
The sauna stones normally reach the bathing temperature at the same time as the sauna room. A
suitable temperature for the sauna room is about 65–80 °C, 149F-176F.
Using the Heater
Before switching the heater on, always check that there isn’t anything on top of the heater or inside
the given safety distance.
Heater models BC45E, BC60E, BC80E and BC90E are controlled from a separate control unit. See
the instructions for use of the BC45E after the Sauna Installation instructions.
