1.1 Mounting and electrical installation
The installation instructions are intended for qualified
personnel familiar with the laws and regulations appli-
cable to electrical installations at the installation site.
Observe the following general safety instructions
during mounting, configuration and commissioning
of the product.
Risk to life and limb and risk of fire
Risk to life and limb from electric shock and fire in the event of im-
proper or faulty electrical connection. This risk remains also after
completion of the installation work.
The electrical installation of the heater, relay boxes and other
electrical systems or equipment with a fixed mains connection
must only be performed by a trained electrician from an autho-
rized electrical company.
Ensure compliance with the applicable standards and regula-
tions for electrical installation.
The system must be completely disconnected from the mains
supply before commencing installation and repair work.
The housing cover must only be removed by a qualified electri-
cian.
Fire hazard from overheating

structions.

EN-6 Installation and Operating Instructions - EOS Gracil/Gracil W
EN General safety instructions
Risk of fire due to sauna stones
It is possible for hot stones or stone pieces to fall out of the rock
store.
For this reason, the sauna heater may not be placed on a floor
made of easily flammable material (e.g., laminate or synthetic
flooring). Ceramic tiles are recommended as a flooring option.
Risk of burns from hot glass
Glass surfaces in the cabin become hot while the sauna is in oper-
ation.
When installing the cabin, ensure that the touchable glass sur-
faces on the outside of the cabin may reach a maximum tem-
perature of 76°C/169°F. Appropriate protection may need to be
installed if required.
Risk of burns from hot unit
During operation, the sauna heater may become hot and, if
touched, could cause burns.
Maintain a safe distance.
Sauna cabin and heater
The sauna cabin must be constructed with proper material and
built in a professional manner, and the heater must be suited for
the cabin.
Sauna heaters and control units may only be used in sauna cab-
ins made of suitable, low-resin and untreated material (e.g.,
Nordic spruce).
Multiple heaters may be installed in one sauna if the heater
power can properly supply the cabin volume. In this case, de-
pending on the position, an additional safety temperature lim-
iter must be installed for each additional heater.

EOS Gracil/Gracil W - Installation and Operating Instructions EN-7
General safety instructions
The sauna heater is not designed to be installed or set up in an
alcove or under a bench or sloping roof unless the sauna heater
is specifically designed and approved for this type of installa-
tion.
Receptacles may not be installed inside the sauna cabin.
Each sauna cabin must have air inlets and outlets. The air inlets
and outlets may be installed below or behind the sauna heater,
approx. 5–10 cm/2–3.9 inches above the floor. The minimum
dimensions of the air inlets and outlets can be found here:
2.4 Technical data, EN-18, 3.1.1 Installation site, EN-22.
The exhaust openings are always installed in the lower part of
the wall diagonal to the sauna heater. The supply and exhaust
openings must not be closed. Observe the instructions provid-
ed by your sauna cabin supplier.
Use one of the control units listed below to check and control
the sauna heater. This control unit is fixed to a suitable location
on the cabin’s external wall, and the corresponding sensor
housings according to the installation instructions that accom-
pany the control units inside the sauna cabin.
The cabin lighting must be safe for sauna cabin use and in-
stalled in such a way that it can be used safely in a sauna cabin.
Ensure that the heater is installed in compliance with the stan-
dards and legal norms valid in your country.
The cabin door must open outward and must not have a lock
that cannot be opened in the case of failure. We recommend
magnetic or spring locks.

EN-8 Installation and Operating Instructions - EOS Gracil/Gracil W
EN General safety instructions
1.2 Operator instruction

safety instructions during commissioning. The operator must be
given a copy of the operating instructions.
The operator must make the end user aware of safety instructions
that are relevant to the end user.
The operator must be familiar with the settings for the heating pe-
riod and understand how it is controlled.
Risk of electric shock
A risk to life and limb from electric shock and fire arises in the event
of improper repair work. This risk remains also after work is com-
pleted.
The housing cover must only be removed by a qualified electri-
cian.
Repairs and installations must only be performed by a trained
electrician.
The system must be disconnected and removed entirely from
the mains supply before commencing repair work.
Use only original spare parts from the manufacturer.
Fire hazard
Objects placed on the heater or protective grilles can
easily be ignited and cause fires.
Attach the heater guard rail.
Do not place objects on the heater.
Fill rock stores with stones as directed.

General safety instructions
Health risks
Spending time in a sauna cabin can lead to serious health risks or
even death for persons with health impairments.
Persons with health impairments who spend time in a sauna
must consult a doctor before entering a sauna cabin.
Damage to health
Excessive time spent in a heated sauna cabin can lead to overheat-
ing of the body (hyperthermia), which may cause serious health
problems and even death. Hyperthermia occurs when the core
temperature of the body exceeds the norm by a few degrees.
Symptoms of hyperthermia include fever, dizziness, lethargy,
sleepiness, and fainting. Side effects of hyperthermia include per-
ception disorders, inability to recognize the need to leave the
room, inability to identify imminent danger, harm to the fetus in
the case of pregnant women, inability to physically leave the
room, unconsciousness.
Alcohol, drugs, and medications increase the risk of hyperthermia.
Do not exceed the maximum recommended time in the sauna.
Leave the sauna cabin if your body responds abnormally to the
heat or if you do not feel well.
Avoid alcohol, drugs, and medications when you are using the
sauna.
