WARNING: When using electrical sauna heaters and associated sauna products, basic
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.

INSTALLATION OF SAUNA ROOM
1. Place the floor panel in the desired location on a level surface
Note: The floor panel must be level before installing wall and roof 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 front right wall panel is
labeled # 1, the front panel of the right side wall is labeled #2 and etc…(See picture below)
2. Place the front right corner wall panel (panel 1) on the outer edge of the corresponding
floor panel.
3. Place the front panel of the right wall (panel 2) on the floor and
butt it to the front panel.
Note: The 4 x 6 and 5 x 6 rooms have a one-piece side wall system,
and the 5 x 7 rooms have a two-piece side wall system. The two-piece
system is shown, but the process is the same for the one-piece system.
4. Secure the right wall to the front wall with three
3” Torq screws (provided). Install one screw on
the top of the wall, one in the middle, and one on
the bottom. Ensure the tongue and groove wall
boards are tight together at the interior corner of
the sauna and the corner is flush on the outside
edge when screws are installed.

INSTALLATION OF ROOF
Note: The 4 x 6 and 5 x 6 rooms have a two-panel roof system and the 5 x 7 room has a three-panel roof
system. The two-panel system is shown below, but the process is the same for the three-panel system.
20. Place the right roof panel on the room. The guide strip will align the panel on the front wall until final
placement is set and secured.
Note: Ensure the roof panel is aligned to the exterior of the front wall
panel using the guide strip.
21. Repeat 20 for the left roof panel (left and center panels of NS 57).
Note: Ensure tongue is fully engaged in groove of roof panel.
22. Secure roof panels together using a 3” Torq screw.
23. Once roof panels are secured together to create one piece, center the roof
over the room. The left overhang should be equal to the right overhang. Check
three points on each side to ensure the distances are equal.
24. Using the 5-1/2”Torq screws, go through the roof panel to secure to the
top of the walls. Secure the roof panel at the front of the sauna and ensure the
side overhang in the back of the sauna is the same as the front. Secure roof to
back wall and then side walls.
How to find location of center of walls: Measure the overhang from the wall
to the edge of the roof panel and add 1 ½” to find center of the wall. Repeat for
all four edges.
25. Once the roof panels are secured, remove the guide strips.
