Please observe the instructions and information
provided by your sauna supplier.
Sauna heating units heat your sauna cabin with
warmed convection air. Fresh air drawn by
suction pressure through the fresh-air inlet is
heated, rises upward (convection) and is then
circulatedwithinthecabin.Someoftheconsumed
air is forced out of the cabin through the exhaust
outlet. This process produces a typical sauna
climate, with temperatures of approximately
110° C immediately below the ceiling and a
temperature gradient that produces low
temperatures of approximately 30-40° C at floor
level. Thus it is not unusual for the temperature
sensor above the heater to register 110° C,
while the thermometer mounted on the sauna
wall approximately 20-25 cm below the cabin
ceiling shows only 85° C. Ordinarily, sauna
temperatures range between 80° C and 90° C at
the level of the upper recliner bench at the
maximum temperature setting.
Please remember that temperatures are always
attheirhighestjustabovethesaunaheatingunit
and ensure that temperature sensors and safety
limiters are mounted there.
When the unit is heated up for the first time,
evaporation of residual substances from the
production process may cause slight odors. The
cabin should be aired out thoroughly before you
begin your sauna bath.
This device has not been designed for being
used by persons (including children) that are
physically or mentally handicapped or have
sensory disabilities. Moreover, it is not allowed
to use this device without sufficient experience
and/or knowledge, unless these persons will
be supervised by persons responsible for their
security or in case they have been instructed
how to use this device.
Children are to be supervised in order to make
sure that they do not play with this device.

Sensorinstallation
The built-in control unit is equipped with a
thermostat and an a temperature limiter. The
capillary tube sensors are delivered with the
heater unit (packed in the lower section of the
heater). The sensor must be removed carefully
from the heater and fixed in position in the
mountingholeson the sensormountingbracket.
Thecapillarytubesmustnotbebentordamaged.
The smallest bending radius should not be less
than 4-5 cm during and after installation.
The sensor mounting bracket is mounted (using
the provided wood screws) to the cabin wall as
shown in Fig. 7, centered above the heater
exhaust outlet facing the cabin door and
positioned 25 cm below the cabin ceiling, The
bracket must be placed in this position, as
otherwise the desired temperatures cannot be
achieved. The capillary tubes can be fastened
to the cabin wall with the fastening elements
provided. The excess length of capillary tube
should be rolled up behind the heater and must
not be pushed back into the connection box
under any circumstances.
If the installed capillary tubes do not have an
insulatingmantle,theymustbeprotectedagainst
contact. This can be accomplished by running
thetubesthroughthegroovesinthewallpaneling
and covering them with appropriate wood
molding.
Installationby a qualifiedelectrician
1.) Drill a hole measuring approx. 10 cm in
diameter in the cabin wall at the point where
the main power cable is to be inserted. Run
thecablethroughtheholetowardtheoutside

The sauna must heat up for approximately 45
minutes to achieve a typical sauna climate.
The thermostat enables you to select the
temperatureyou desirewithin arange ofapprox.
40°Cto110°C.Pleaseremember,however,that
the sensors register only the temperatures in
theirimmediatevicinity.Therefore,temperatures
may differ in other parts of the cabin. These
differences are typical for sauna climates,
however.
The sauna heater is activated through a clock
timer with synchronous motor.
In consequence of the power frequency (50 Hz)
the synchronous motor is making some noise.
This is not a fault or insufficiency of the heater
!
Sauna stones
Sauna stones are natural materials. Check your
sauna stones at regular intervals, since they are
susceptible to the effects of strong steam-
wateradditivesand maydecomposeovera long
periodoftime.Consultyoursaunasupplierifyou
have any questions.
The sauna stones delivered with your sauna
heating system should be washed thoroughly in
running water and placed in the stone grate in
such a way that the convection-air can flow
freely between the stones (Fig. 10 + 11).
The quantity of sauna stones is sufficient to
vaporize approx. 10 cl of water per cubic meter
of cabin space. Wait for about 10 minutes after
each pouring before adding water again. This
allows the stones to heat up sufficiently.
Never add more additives or ethereal oils to the
steam water than is indicated on the containers.
Never use alcohol or undiluted concentrates.
Caution! Fire hazard.
URGENTWARNING!
Stones must not be piled in layers in the
stone grate on the sauna heater but
instead placed in a loose arrangement in
order to ensure that rising hot air can
flow freely between the stones.

Safety cutoff
Thesaunaheaterisequippedwith a temperature
limiter for security.
In case of a malfunction this temperature limiter
cuts off all 3 phases by safety reasons.
Once the temperature limiter has cut off the
current, he must be reset mechanically.
Attention:
Cut off the sauna heater from the mains at
first.
Loosen the securtiy screw from the wall holder
of the heater and take the heater off the holder.
Then open the lid of the terminal box. The
temperature limiter is mounted in the left lower
corner (fig.12).
Press the 3 locking pins of the connecting plug
back to the rear side of the housing until you feel
a switching point.
Close the terminal box again and restore the
sauna heater in the wall holder.
Secure the heater with the security screw.
In case the temperature limiter should cut off
again immediately after taking into operation, the
sauna heater has to be checked by a specialist.
Instructions Leakage current
For the installation of sauna heaters, please pay
attention to the DIN VDE 0100 part 703 !
This standard makes the following statement valid
in your newest expenditure, since February 2006,
paragraph 703.412.05;
Quotation:
The additional must be planned for all electric
circuits of the Sauna by one or more fault current
protection device (RCDs) with a calculation
difference stream not more largely than 30 mA,
excluded of it is Saunaheating.
The EN 60335-1 DIN VDE 0700 part 1 of January 2001
states the following in paragraph 13; quote:
The leakage current may not exceed the following
values during operation:
- for stationary heaters of protection class I
0,75 mA; or 0,75 mA each kW input of the appliance,
depending on the higher value, at a maximum value
of 5 mA.
If the appliance is equipped with a protective device
for leakage current (ELCB), please pay attention to
the fact that no other electrical units will be
protected by this ELCB.
Under current manufacturing methods, it is not yet
possible to produce tubular heating elements for
sauna heaters which do not attract moisture on
each end from the surrounding air.
Therefore, should the ELCB be triggered during
start-up, the electrical installation must be checked.
It is also possible that moisture from the
surrounding air has been concentrated in the
magnesium-oxide filling in the heating elements
during transport or storage and is now causing
the ELCB to be triggered.
In this case, the oven must be heated up under
supervision of an expert, during which the PE
conductor is not connected. After about 10 minutes,
when moisture has evaporated from the heating
elements , the oven must be reconnected to the PE
conductor!
If the sauna heater is not in use for a significant
period of time, we recommend running it every 6
weeks, so as to avoid moisture concentrating in
the heating elements.
Installation of the sauna heater and control unit
may be undertaken only by an authorized
electrician. Without documentation of such
installation, a warranty is fundamentally invalid.

Care and maintenance
Allsaunaheating units are madeof corrosion-resistant
material. However, to ensure that you get maximum
enjoyment from your sauna system for as long as
possible,theunitshouldbecleanedandmaintainedon
a regular basis. All openings and baffle plates must be
free of obstruction at all times. These areas are
susceptible to deposits of dust and fluff drawn into the
unit with fresh air. This impairs the air-convection
process in the sauna heating unit and can lead to
overheating.
Clean the equipment as needed. If defects or signs of
wearandteararedetected,consultyoursaunasupplier
or the manufacturer.
If you do not use your sauna for an extended period of
time, ensure before resuming sauna operation that no
cloths, cleaning agents or other objects have been left
on the sauna heating unit or the vaporizer.
Use only original replacement parts, which can be
ordered from your supplier or directly from the
manufacturer.
