Damage to health Prolonged time spent in a heated sauna cabin can lead to over-
heating 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 foetus in
the case of pregnant women, inability to physically leave the room
and 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.
Operating the unit This unit should not be used by children or persons with reduced
mental capacity or limited physical or sensory abilities. Children
must not play with the unit. Cleaning and user maintenance must
not be performed by children.
Children must be supervised to ensure they do not play with
the unit.
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. Nor-
dic spruce).
Multiple heaters may be installed in one sauna if the heater out-
put can properly supply the cabin volume. In this case, depend-
ing on the position, an additional safety temperature limiter
must be installed for each additional heater.
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.
Power outlets may not be installed inside the sauna cabin.

MEGA - Installation and Operating Instructions 9
General safety instructions
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 to 10 cm above the floor. The minimum dimensions
of the air inlets and outlets can be found here: 2.4 Technical
data, 12, 3.1.2 Air inlets and outlets, 15.
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. Please observe the instructions
provided by your sauna cabin manufacturer.
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.

ble formation of condensation or corrosive substances in the ambient air,
as well as other weather conditions.
Any use beyond this is considered improper use. Proper use also includes
compliance with operating, maintenance and servicing requirements.
The manufacturer is not responsible for unauthorised modifications and
damages resulting from these modifications; the person modifying the
equipment alone shall bear the associated risk.
Foreseeable misuse
The following are considered instances of foreseeable misuse:
The unit is operated without knowledge of or compliance with the
safety instructions.
Operating, service and maintenance requirements are not observed.
The unit is operated by children or persons with reduced mental capac-
ity or by persons who have not been thoroughly instructed in its use.
General instructions
Please note that an optimal sauna climate can be achieved only if the
cabin with its air inlets and outlets, the sauna heater, and the control
unit are synchronized.
Observe the specifications and information provided by your sauna
retailer.
The sauna heaters heat the sauna cabin with heated convection air.
Fresh air is drawn in through the air inlet. It is warmed and rises (convec-
tion) and is then circulated in the cabin. Some of the used air is pushed
out of the cabin through the cabin's air outlet. This creates a typical
sauna climate in which temperatures of approx. 110°C are achieved
directly below the ceiling. These temperatures drop to approx. 30–40°C
in the cabin along the floor. Therefore, it is not unusual that if the tem-
perature sensor above the heater reads 110°C, the thermometer that is
mounted approx. 20–25 cm below the cabin ceiling on the sauna wall
reads only 85°C. When the max. temperature is set for the area around
the upper recliner bench, the bathing temperature is typically between
80°C and 90°C.
Please note that the highest temperatures in the cabin are always above
the sauna heater and that is where the temperature sensor and safety
temperature limiter should be mounted according to the installation
instructions for the control units.
The first time the cabin is heated, you may notice a slight odour result-
ing from the evaporation of consumables used in the manufacturing
processes. Air out your cabin once it has been heated and before using
the sauna.

Mounting
EN
Mounting
This chapter describes how to install MEGA. Prior to installing the unit, air
inlets and outlets must be attached to the cabin. It may be necessary to
mount additional fans in the inlets/outlets. All protective films must be
removed.
NOTICE
Damage due to incorrect mounting location
The heater is not suitable for outdoor use.
The heater must be operated only inside buildings and may not
be exposed to environmental conditions such as extreme hu-
midity and moisture or the possible formation of condensation
or corrosive substances in the ambient air, as well as other
weather conditions.
The heater is not designed to be installed or set up in an alcove
or under a bench or sloping roof.
3.1 Specifications for the cabin
