Read all instructions carefully before installation including instructions packaged separately
with the sauna heater. Please leave all instructions and warranty with the owner.
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.
4. Do not tamper with the door or install a latching or locking system. Malfunction of which may cause
entrapment inside the heated room.
5. Do not block ventilation openings. Vents must be kept free of obstruction so proper 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.
