precautions must be followed, including the following:
1. Grounding is required.
2. No electrical receptacle shall be installed in the sauna room.
3. Be sure rocks are placed in the heater according to the Heater Installation and Operation
Instructions.

airflow is maintained in the sauna room. Do not stack anything in front of the vents.
WARNING: Prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures is capable of inducing
hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches several
degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6°F. The symptoms of hyperthermia include
an increase in the normal temperature of the body, dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness, and fainting.
The effects of the hyperthermia include failure to perceive heat, failure to recognize the need to
exit the room, unawareness of impending hazard, fetal damage in pregnant women, physical
inability to exit the room and unconsciousness.
WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication is capable of greatly increasing the risk
of fatal hyperthermia.
CAUTION FIRE HAZARD: Do not use the sauna room for drying clothes, bathing suits,
etc. Do not hang towels above the heater or place any object, other than the rocks supplied, in the
heater. If any darkening of the wall around the heater is noticed, discontinue sauna use
immediately.

Note: The base must be level before installing wall and
ceiling panels. If the surface is not level, you may need to
shim the floor panel to get it level.
The base is numbered to correspond with the panels for correct locations. The right wall panel is labeled
#1, the back wall panel is labeled #2 and etc…(See picture below)
