Dear customer
You have purchased a high-quality technical
device with which you will have years of sau-
na fun. This sauna heater was designed and
inspected according to the current European
safety standards and manufactured at the facto-
ry in accordance with the quality management
standard DIN EN ISO 9001:2000.
This detailed installation and operation manual
has been prepared for your information. Please
observe in particular the important notes and
the information on electrical connection.
We wish youexhilaratingrecreationalexperience
and lots of fun with your sauna!
Intended use
This sauna heater is exclusively intended for the
heating of sauna cabins in combination with an
appropriate control unit.
Any other use over and above the intended
purpose is not considered as appropriate use!
Compliance of the standard operation, mainte-
nance and repair conditions is also an element
of appropriate use.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for
deviating, unauthorized alterations and any re-
sulting damages: the initiator of these changes
bears the full risk.
General information
Please check whether the unit has arrived in per-
fect condition. Any transport damages should be
immediately reported to the freight forwarder
delivering the goods or you should contact the
company that shipped the goods.
Please note that you will only be able to achieve
an optimum sauna climate if the cabin with its air
intake and ventilation, the sauna heater and the
control unit are aligned to each other.
Please observe the information and stipulations
made by your sauna supplier.
Sauna heaters heat up your sauna cabin using
heated convective air. Here, fresh air is drawn
in from the air intake which, when heated, rises
upwards (convection) and is then circulated
within the cabin. Part of the used air is pushed
out through the vent in the cabin.This creates a
typical sauna climate which can achieve tempe-
ratures of approx. 110°C measured directly under
the ceiling of your sauna, dropping in tempera-
ture to approx. 30-40°C towards the oor. It is
therefore not unusual to measure temperatures
of 110°C on the temperature sensor hanging
over the heater, whilst the thermometer hanging
on the sauna wall, approx. 20-25 cm under the
cabin ceiling, only indicates 85°C. The bathing
temperature generally lies between 80°C and
90°C in the area of the upper bench when the
temperature is set to maximum.
Please note that the highest temperatures are
always generated over the sauna heater and that
the temperature sensor and the safety limiter
must be mounted there in accordance with the
control unit installation instructions.
When heating up for the first time, you may
notice a slight smell caused by evaporating
lubricants used in production processes. Please
ventilate your cabin before beginning your
sauna bath.

Unprofessional installation may cau-
se a re hazard! Please read these instal-
lation instructions carefully. In particular,
please observe the dimensions stated and
the following notes.
• This device can be used by children aged
8 upwards and by persons with physical,
sensory, or mental disabilities, or who
have inadequate experience and know-
ledge if they are supervised or if they have
received adequate instruction in how to
use the device safely and understand the
associated risks. Children may not play
with this device. Children may not clean
or carry out any user maintenance if un-
supervised.
• Children should be supervised to make
sure that they will not play with the unit.
• Only specialists may install and con-
nect the sauna heater, control unit and
other electrical equipment with a xed
mains connection. The necessary protec-
tive measures according to VDE 0100 of §
49 DA/6 and VDE 0100 part 703/2006-2
must be observed.
• Sauna heater and controller may only be
used in sauna cabins made of suitable, low-
resin, untreated materials (e.g. spruce).
• Only a sauna heater with the appropriate
power output may be installed in the sau-
na cabin.
• Please provide air intake and vent ope-
nings in each sauna cabin. The air intakes
must always be positioned behind the
sauna heater, approx. 5 to 10 cm above
the oor. The minimum dimensions of the
air intake and vent openings are stated in
the table.
• The duct vents are always to be positioned
oset diagonally to the sauna heater in
the lower area of the rear sauna wall. The
air intake and vents may not be covered.
Please observe the sauna cabin supplier's
instructions.
• Only the control units specied herein
must be used for the operation of the
sauna heater. This control unit must be
positioned at an appropriate point on the
cabin outer wall; the associated sensor
must be positioned inside the sauna cabin
according to the installation instructions
included with the control unit.
• Caution: Covering the heater or an
incorrectly lled stone container represent
a re hazard.
• Every time before the sauna is used,
ensure that no objects have been left lying
on the sauna heater.
• Caution: The high sauna heater
temperatures generated during operation
can cause burns.
• The sauna heater is not intended for in-

17
GB
stallation or set-up in a niche, under a
bench or under a sloping roof.
• Do not put the sauna heater into operation
when the air intake is closed.
• The cabin lighting and the corresponding
installation must correspond with the
"splash protected" version in accordance
with DIN EN VDE 0100 T 703. Therefore,
only VDE-tested sauna light with max. 40
Watt may be installed in connection with
the sauna heater.
•
Only a locally certied electrician
may connect the sauna facility (sauna
heater, control unit, lighting etc.) to a xed
mains connection.
• All electrical installations and all connec-
tion lines that are installed inside the cab-
in must be suitable for an ambient tem-
perature of at least 170 °C. If single-wire
cables are used as connection lines, they
must be protected using a exible metal
tube connected to the equipment ground-
ing conductor. Please see the table for the
minimum cross-section of the connection
cable and the suitable cabin size in rela-
tion to the power input in kW.
• When installing the sauna heater, please
ensure that the vertical clearance be-
tween the sauna heater upper edge and
the sauna ceiling is maintained. Please
see also the dimensions diagram for the
clearance between the lower edge of the
sauna heater and the oor. On heaters
with bases, this clearance is maintained
via the base or legs of the device.
• Please always ensure that the sauna heat-
er is never placed on ooring made of
ammable material (wood, plastic oor-
ing etc). Ceramic tiles are recommended
as oor materials.
• Floor heating in the sauna cabin increases
the surface temperature of the ooring.
• Please see the dimensions information
for the respective sauna heater for the
clearance between the heater protective
grating or the bench and other ammable
materials. The heater protective grating
must roughly accord with the front height
of the sauna heater.
• Please also observe the information and
instructions provided by the cabin manu-
facturer.
• Please take precautions when
cleaning components with sharp edges.
• Upright heaters need to be tted on site
with elements that prevent them from
overturning.
• Attention: Pour the infusion water
only on the sauna rocks and never any-
where else.
• When using your sauna in a dry
Finnish mode never add sauna essences or

18 GB
place any herbs into the vaporizer holder
for essences/herbs. Risk of re!
•
Never add more essences or volatile
oils than advised on the packaging. Nev-
er use alcohol or undiluted concentrates.
Caution! Fire hazard!
Caution!
Dear Customer,
In compliance with the valid regulations,
only certied electricians may connect the
sauna heater and the sauna control system
to the mains power supply. Please note
that you must provide a copy of the invoice
from the electrical company who installed
the sauna in case of a warranty claim.
Electrical connection
Using the above-mentioned wiring diagram
and the information on the wiring circuit ad-
hered to the respective control system, your
electrician will be able to connect the system
without further instructions.
Please note that, for safety reasons, power ca-
bles may not be laid visibly on the interior walls
of the cabin. Most sauna cabins have empty
ducts tted into the wall element with the air
intake.
If no empty ducts are available in your cabin,
drill a suciently sized hole in the cabin wall
directly next to the place where the cable exits
the sauna heater and guide this cable outside
through the hole to the control unit. The cable,
and all other connecting cables (mains power
cables and cabin lighting), should be installed
in installation ducts or also be protected against
damage on the outside of the cabin e.g. by lay-
ing them in installation pipes or attaching wood
cover strips.
The sauna heater may only be used in combina-
tion with a protective cover or S-guard system
if operated by remote control*
*Remote control = Setting, control and/or regulation of
the device by means of commands entered when the de-
vice is out of sight. Telecommunication, sound technology
or bus systems can be used.

Please be sure to note!
Do not insert sauna rocks too
tightly in the rock store. Place
them loose, leaving as many
spaces as possible to allow the
free ow of hot air for circulation
purposes.
Remove stones from the sauna
heater only when they cooled
down.
It cannot be excluded that hot
rocks or their parts fall out of the
rock store. Risk of re!
Sauna stones are a natural product. Check the
sauna stones at regular intervals. Aggressive
sauna essensces can weaken the sauna stones
and cause them to break apart over time. Con-
sult your sauna supplier if necessary.
Rinse the sauna stones provided under running
water and then place them in the stone com-
partment so that the convection air ow can
circulate easily between the stones (Illust. 9 +
10).
The quantity of stones is sucient to create a
steam shock, vaporizing about 10 cl of water
per m³ cabin volume. Always wait 10 minutes
after infusion before repeating the infusion.
Only then the sauna stones will re-heat suci-
ently again.

Never add more essences or
volatile oils than advised on the pa-
ckaging. Never use alcohol or un-
diluted concentrates. Caution! Fire
hazard!
All sauna heating units are made of low-corro-
sion material. To enjoy your sauna heating unit
for a long time you should ensure maintainance
and take due care about the heater. Always
make sure that the air supply vents and reec-
tion surfaces in the area of air intake are free.
These can easily become clogged with fuzz and
dust when drawing in fresh air. This reduces the
air convection in the sauna heating unit and
can be a cause of too high temperatures.
Clean or de-scale the heater when needed.
Refer to your sauna supplier or directly to the
manufacturer in case of defects or signs of wear
and tear.
Only use original manufacturer‘s replacement
parts, which can be obtained from your sup-
plier or directly from the manufacturer.
If you did not use your sauna for a long period
of time, always check before next use that clo-
ths, cleansers or other objects have not been
left on the sauna heating unit or the vaporizer
before turning them on.

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 Februa-
ry 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 die-
rence stream not more largely than 30 mA, exclu-
ded of it is Saunaheating.
The EN 60335-1 DIN VDE 0700 part 1 of Janu-
ary 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 at-
tention to the fact that no other electrical units
will be protected by this ELCB.
Under current manufacturing technology, it is
not reasonable to use heating elements for sau-
na heaters which do not collect moisture from
the surrounding air. It is therefore possible that
a little bit of moisture from the surrounding air
may reach the magnesium-oxide lling in the
heating elements during transport or storage
and may cause the ELCB to release.
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 recon-
nected to the PE conductor!
If the sauna heater is not in use for a signicant
period of time, we recommend running it every
6 weeks, so as to avoid moisture concentrating
in the heating elements.
Therefore, should the ELCB be released during
start-up, the electrical installation must be che-
cked.
Installation of the sauna heater and control
unit must be undertaken only by an authorized
electrician. Without a documented proof of
such installation a warranty is generally void.
