Dear Customer,
You have purchased a high quality technical
system which will provide you with many ye-
ars of enjoyable sauna bathing. This sauna
heating system was constructed in accor-
dance with state-of-the-art European safety
standards, inspected and manufactured in
accordance with the Quality Standard DIN
EN ISO 9001:2000.
This detailed installation and user‘s guide was
created for your information. Please note
especially the important information and the
data dealing with the electrical connection.
We wish you a richly invigorating and resto-
rative sauna bathing experience.
First of all, check whether the sauna system
has arrived at your site undamaged. Register
transport damage claims immediately with
the delivering transport company or please
consult the supplier who provided the equip-
ment to you.
General notes
Please note that an optimal sauna climate
can be reached only when the cabin, with
its air intake and exhaust, the sauna heating
unit and the control unit have been tuned for
compatibility with one another.
Please note all data and information provided
by your sauna supplier.
The sauna heating units warm your sauna
cabin through means of heated convection
currents. To this end, fresh air from the air
intake vent is drawn in, rises upon warming
(convection) and is then circulated through
the cabin. A part of the used air is pushed out
through the exhaust vent in the cabin. This is
the means by which the typical sauna climate
develops, reaching characteristic temperatu-
res of about 110° C directly under the ceiling
of your sauna, which fall off to about 30-40°C
in the floor area due to the temperature gra-
dient in the sauna cabin. Therefore, it is not
unusual when, for example, temperatures of
110°C prevail in the area of the temperature
sensor over the oven, while the thermometer,
which is installed 20-25 cm under the cabin
ceiling on the sauna wall, registers only 85°
C. With a temperature setting at maximum,
the mean bathing temperature lies between
80°C and 90°C in the area of the upper rec-
liner bench.
Please note that the highest temperature va-
lues in the cabin always develop in the area
above the sauna heating unit and that the
temperature sensor and safety limiter must
be installed in this area in accordance with
the control unit installation guide.
At the initial heating, you may notice a slight
odor arising from evaporation of substances
from the manufacturing process. Air out your
cabin after this cycle before you begin with
the sauna bath
Intended use
This sauna heater is exclusively designed
for the heating of sauna cabins, in connec-
tion with an appropriate control unit.
Any use apart from the defined application
shall be regarded as non-intended use. Ad-
herence to the conventional operating, main-
tenance and servicing conditions is also part
of the intended use.
The manufacturer cannot be made respon-
sible for deviating alterations undertaken on
the authority of the user and any consequen-
tial damage. The risk for such measures
shall be borne solely by the person carrying
out the alterations and causing the damage.
Sauna heaters, with the exception of tho-
se used for household purposes, must be
equipped with a safety device vis-à-vis the
cover per DIN EN 60335-2-53.
As suitable measure, and depending on the
sauna heater, a rocker switch Type I or Type
II may be installed above the heater.
(The rocker switch is not included in the de-
livery scope of the sauna heater.)
For installation and electrical connection of
the rocker switch follow the installation in-
structions supplied with this part.

air intake and exhaust vents must not be
closed. Please observe the information
provided by your sauna cabin supplier.
• For the adjustment and control of the sau-
na heating unit, one of the control units
mentioned later must be used. This con-
trol unit must be attached to a suitable lo-
cation on the outer wall of the cabin, the
associated sensor housings in the interior
of the sauna cabin in accordance with the
installation guide which accompanies the
control units.
• Caution: Covering and improperly
filled stone receptacles present a fire
hazard.
• Make certain that no objects have
been placed on the sauna heating
unit before each start-up.
• Caution: High temperatures on the
heating unit during operation can
cause burns on contact.
• The sauna heating unit is not intended for
installation or placement in a niche under
the bench or under a roof slope.
• Do not start up operation of the sauna he-
ating unit with air intake vents closed.
• The cabin lighting with correspondi-
ng mounting must be of a type that it is
splash-proof and able to withstand a sur-
rounding temperature of 140° C. Therefo-
re, only a VDE-certified sauna lamp of 40
W maximum may be installed for use with
the sauna oven.
• The sauna system (sauna heating
unit, control unit and lighting etc.)
may be hard-wired to the power sour-
ce only by a locally certified electrician.
All connecting lines laid on the inside of
the cabin must be made of silicone and
be able to withstand a surrounding tem-
perature of at least 170°C. If single-wired
cables are used as connecting lines, they
must be protected by flexible metal tubing.
The minimum diameter of the connecting
line and the suitable cabin size in proporti-
on to the power supply capacity are listed
Important notes
If assembled incorrectly, the sys-
tem will present a fire hazard.
Please read this installation guide tho-
roughly. It is especially important to con-
sider applicable dimensions and observe
the following instructions:
• This device has not been designed for
being used by persons (including children)
that are physically or mentally handicap-
ped 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.
• The installation and connection of the
sauna heating unit, control unit and
other electrical equipment must be ac-
complished only by an expert. In this re-
gard it is especially important to meet the
required safety precautions in accordance
with VDE 0100 v. §49 DA/6 and VDE 0100
part 703/2006-2.
• The sauna heating and control units may
be installed only in sauna cabins made of
suitable, low resin and untreated material
(for example: Nordic pine)
• Only a sauna oven with the appropriate
heating capacity may be installed in the
sauna cabin (see Table 2).
• There should always be a provision for air
intake and exhaust vents in every sauna
cabin. The air intake vents must always
be aligned behind the sauna heating unit,
ca. 5 to 10 cm above the floor. Please use
the minimum dimensions of the air intake
and exhaust vents listed in Table 1.
• The exhaust vents must always be placed
towards the sauna heating unit diagonally
in the rear sauna wall, lower area. The

GB
in the table.
• During the installation of the sauna hea-
ting unit, make certain that the vertical
clearance between the upper edge of the
sauna heating unit and the sauna ceiling
is sufficient . The horizontal (lateral) clea-
rance between the sauna heating unit and
the cabin wall is provided in the dimension
diagram of the respective sauna heating
unit. The required distance between the
lower edge of the sauna heating unit and
the floor is also provided by the dimension
diagram. In case of floor-standing ovens,
the distance is determined by the base.
• Fundamentally, it is important to make
sure that the sauna heating unit is not
placed on a floor that consists of an easily
flammable material (wood, synthetic floo-
ring or similar material). Ceramic tiles or
similar materials are practical in the area
of the sauna.
• Underfloor heating in a sauna leads to in-
creased surface temperature of the floor.
• The distance between the oven safety
grid or recliner bench and other flamma-
ble materials and the sauna heating unit
are provided in the dimensional data of the
respective sauna heating unit. The safety
grid height must be approximately equal
to the frontal height of the sauna heating
unit.
• By cleaning of parts with sharp edges
or corners the appropriate personal
protection measures against potential in-
juries should be taken.
• The sauna heaters should be secured
against overturning during installation on
site.
Electrical connection
Your electrician will be able to accomplish
this work without further explanation in ac-
cordance with the provided wiring schema-
tic and with the help of the circuit diagram
mounted inside the respective control unit.
Be sure to note, however, that live wires
should not be visibly laid onto the inner cabin
walls due to safety considerations. For this
reason, the wall element with the air intake
vent is already equipped with cable conduits
in most sauna cabins
Should there be no cable conduits in your
cabin, drill an hole in the cabin wall imme-
diately adjacent to the sauna heating unit
where the cable projects from the sauna he-
ating unit and pull the cable through this hole
towards the exterior and then to the control
unit. The cable as well as all other connec-
ting lines (supply wire to the power source
and to the cabin lighting) on the outside wall
of the cabin should also be protected from
damage, for ex. by installation in cable con-
duits or by covering with wooden skirting
strips.
Attention!
Dear customer,
according to the valid regulations, the
electrical connection of the sauna heater
and the control box has to be carried out
through the specialist of an authorized
electric shop.
We would like to mention to the fact that
in case of a warrenty claim, you are kind-
ly requested to present a copy of the in-
voice of the executive electric shop.
The sauna heater, if used with remote con-
trol*, may be used only in combination with
the appropriate cover protection system or
S-Guard system.
*Remote control – means settings, switch-
ing, control and adjustment of the sauna
control unit by means of commands trans-
mitted from a remote location beyond sight
distance using telecommunication, wire- or
wireless signal transmission systems, net-
work and similar systems.

Caution!
Different heating reaction for sauna
heater with a larger quantity of stones!
Please note that a considerable amount of
energy is required to heat the large quantity
of stones and that a relatively low convection
takes place due to the construction.
In comparison to standard saunas, this means
that the cabin requires a longer period to heat
up and that is stays hot for a long time after
the end of the operating time.
Measures for improved air circulation in
the sauna cabin may be necessary (forced
ventilation).
When adding an infusion, please be aware
that hot steam can also escape at the bot-
tom through the open mesh of the side parts.
Therefore please maintain a sufficient clear-
ance! Danger of scalding!!

Sauna stones
Sauna stones are a natural product. Always
check the sauna stones at regular intervals.
Sauna stones can be particularly attacked
by strong infusion concentrations and will be
corroded over the course of time. Please ask
your sauna supplier.
Thoroughly wash the supplied sauna stones
under running water and insert them in the
stone holder so that the heating rods can be
seen from the outside.
The quantity of infusion stones allows an in-
tensive infusion.
Due to the large quantity of stones, the first
infusion should be added one hour after
starting heating at the earliest.
Check the quantity of stones at regular inter-
vals and remove any small particles of stone
lying in the expanded metal mesh.
Never add more infusion quantities or es-
sential oils than stated on the container.
Never use alcohol or diluted concentrations.
Caution! Risk of fire.
Caution!
The filled heater has a weight of approxi-
mately 150 kg.
Do not tip the heater using the adjust-
ment feet or move it when filled. There is the
risk of the adjustment feet being damaged.
Right
Wrong
The heating rods are fully covered by stones.
The heating rods cannot be seen from the
outside.
Heating rods can be seen between the
stones.
A visible heating rod can even pose a risk
to flammable materials beyond the safety
clearance.
Make sure that no heating rods can be seen
from outside between the stones.
Risk of fire!!!

Maintenance and care
All sauna heaters are made of a corrosion-
resistant material. You should maintain and
care for the device so that you can enjoy
your sauna heater for a long time. you must
make sure that all openings and radiation
plates in the vacuum area are kept free of
obstructions. By drawing in fresh air, these
can easily become blocked with fluff and
dust. This restricts the air convection of the
sauna heater and unauthorized tempera-
tures can occur.
Clean or remove limescale from the device
as required. Please contact your sauna
dealer or the manufacturing factory if you
notice any defects or signs of wear and tear.
If you haven't used your sauna for a
while, make sure that no hand towels,
detergents or other objects have been
placed on the sauna heater or evaporator
before starting the sauna.
DIN VDE part 703 must be observed for
installation of the sauna heaters!
This norm, in the latest version valid since
February 2006 with amendments to paragraph
703.412.05, makes the following statement;
quote:
The additional protection must be provided for all
of the sauna's electrical circuits through one or
more residual current devices (RCD) with a dif-
ferential measurement current no higher than 30
mA, with the exception of sauna heaters.
EN 60335-1 DIN VDE part 1 from January
2001 states the following under paragraph 13;
quote:
The leakage current may not exceed the fol-
lowing values at operating temperature:
- For fixed heaters under protection class I: 0.75
mA or 0.75 mA per kW measurement detection of
the device, depending on which value is higher,
with a maximum value of 5 mA.
If a residual current device (RCD) is installed,
make sure that no other electrical consumers
are protected using this RCD.
According to the current status of technology,
it does not make sense to use vapor-tight heat-
ers in saunas. In some cases, the magnesium-
oxide filling in the heaters by draw moisture
from the air through the vapor-diffusion sili-
cone seal which may lead to the RCD trigger-
ing in a few cases. This is a physical process
and is not a manufacturing error.
In this case, the heater must be heated by a
specialist under supervision, whereby the
function of the RCD is by-passed. After the
moisture has been drawn from the heating
rods after approx. 10 mins, the RCD can be in-
corporated in the electrical circuit again!
If the sauna is not used very often, we rec-
ommend heating it approximately every six
weeks so that moisture does not accumulate
in the heating rods.
If the RCD is triggered during initialization, the
electrical installation must be checked once
again.
The electrical fitter is responsible for correct
connection of the heaters and liability by the
manufacturer is therefore excluded!
Suitable protective gloves must be
worn when cleaning the outer coating parts
of blades.
