General Sauna Operation & maintenance
• It is important to have a yearly routine of cleaning and rearranging the sauna stones to re-
move old and weathered stones replacing them with new stones.
• Homecraft Sauna Sealant is a protective, water based, product that should be applied to
the sauna room every 2-3 years for maintaining wood quality
Sauna Room Information:
1.2. The walls and ceiling of a sauna room should be thermally well insulated. All surfaces
that store heat, such as tiled and plastered surfaces must be insulated. It is recommended to
use proper wood panel cladding inside the sauna room. If there are heat storage elements in
the sauna room, such as decorative stone, glass etc., note that these elements may extend
the pre-heating period even though the sauna room is otherwise well insulated (see page 6,
section 2.7 Preparing for sauna heater installation).
Heater Guard:
The Homecraft Heater guard is designed to keep the heater at the safely tested space from
combustible Materials. The Heater Guard is installed simply by attaching the brackets to the
sauna.
A heater guard must be installed on every unit for safety purposes. Each guard must be in-
stalled with the supplied screws. Never remove the heater guard.
Ventilation:
•Proper venting and positioning of sauna vents will prevent nuisance tripping of the High Lim-
it Temperature Switch and will also result in a more comfortable sauna experience. Ideally,
intake and exhaust vents are placed on opposite walls. It is not recommended to use any
powered intake / exhaust fans. Replenishing oxygen with proper ventilation is important for
the enjoyment of the sauna experience.
•Homecraft Vented Doors come with an exhaust vent installed whereas the Homecraft win-
dow door and full window door do not have a vent installed in the door. Homecraft manufac-
tured doors are intentionally provided with a gap for airflow under the door.
Securing the sauna heater:
Homecraft has provided to safety brackets with the adjustable sauna legs. Place the bracket
onto the adjustable sauna leg and insert the adjustable leg into the base. Secure, with
screws, the heater to the floor.
Once legs are secured into the
heater and heater is levelled,
secure the heater to the floor
using suitable flooring screw

Sauna heater rocks
Quality rocks meet the following requirements:
•Ensure that there is sufficient airflow between the rocks to allow heat to escape the air-flow
system avoiding unwanted high-limit issues.
•Sauna rocks should withstand heat and heat variation caused by vaporization of the water
thrown on the stones.
•Rocks should be rinsed before use in order to avoid odour and dust.
•Sauna rocks should be reviewed after 12 months of use. Removing worn or broken stones and
replacing with new sauna stones
•Sauna rocks should be large enough, measuring about 2-5 inches to allow good ventilation be-
tween the stones. This extends the useful life of the heating elements.
•Sauna rocks should be piled sparsely in order to enhance ventilation between the stones. Do
not bend the heating elements together or against the frame.
•Using rocks not sourced or provided by Homecraft Saunas will void the warranty of the Sauna
heater
•Larger rocks should be placed on the bottom of the heater while saving the smaller rocks for
the top 9 inches of the heater
•Rocks should be placed until they sit to the top of the heater ensuring that the element protec-
tor is fully covered or encased with rocks.
The warranty does not cover defects resulting from poor ventilation caused by small and tightly
packed stones.
Structural clay tiles are not allowed. They may cause damage to the sauna heater that will not be
covered by the warranty.
Do not use soapstone as sauna rocks. Any damages resulting from this will not be covered by the
stove warranty.
Do not use lava stone as sauna rocks. Any damages resulting from this will not be covered by the
stove warranty.
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE HEATER WITHOUT STONES.

Preparing for sauna heater installation
Check the following before installing the sauna heater.
Please ensure that the heater is the recommended heater for the size of the sauna room. The
minimum sauna room height must be a min 6.1ft (74 inches) and no greater then 8ft (96 inches)
A sauna room that is uninsulated or has masonry stone walls will extend the preheating time for
the sauna heater. Each square meter of plastered ceiling or wall surface adds 1.2 m3 to the sauna
room's volume.
Ensure that the suitable electrical specifications have been met that match your specific sauna
heater.
Ensure that the heater has been placed with the correct spacing to combustible materials (See
page 5)
Installation of Sauna Heater
Follow the safety clearance specifications on page 6 when installing the sauna heater.
•The sauna heater is a floor-standing model. The base or floor must be solid, because the sauna
heater, with rocks can weigh up to 180-200 pounds.
•The sauna heater is levelled by the adjustable legs to ensure the heater is always level.
•The sauna heater needs to be fixed directly onto the floor, wall or to the sauna bench module by
using suitable anchors provided by Homecraft.
•Walls or ceilings must not be clad with fibre reinforced plaster board or other light-weight
cladding, because they may cause a fire hazard.
•If the sauna heater will not heat up, please check that:
•The power is on
•The main fuses of the sauna heater are intact
•If there any error messages on the sauna control panel. In case of an error message on
the control panel
Please refer to the control panel instructions.
THE PERSON INSTALLING THE SAUNA HEATER SHOULD LEAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
AT THE PREMISES FOR THE FUTURE USER.

Heating the Sauna
Before turning the sauna heater on, make sure the sauna room is safe & suitable for taking a
sauna. When heated for the first time, the sauna heater may emit some odours. It is recom-
mended to run the brand new sauna heater for 1-2 hours to cure the sauna heater.
The Homecraft Revive Sauna heater has an upper temperature limit of 90 degrees Celsius (194
Fahrenheit) and can be run for cycles of up to 60 minutes.
Manual Safety Switch (High-limit switch)
All Homecraft Sauna Heaters have a thermal safety switch to prevent overheating. If the sauna
heater switches off due to an abnormal operating condition let the heater cool down then reset
the safety switch by inserting a non-metallic object into the small hole on the font of the heater.
** If the "reset safety switch" trips frequently, please contact either a qualified serviceperson or contact
Homecraft directly.
** Si le limiteur de temperature a reenclenchement manuel se déclenche souvent, appelez un réparateur
qualifie.
Installing the temperature Sensor
Step 1: Attach the Temperature Sensor, with the supplied connectors, to the 3658mm (12 Ft)
length of 18/2 wire. If you require a longer distance between the sensor and the Digital Sauna
Control buy a new continuous length of 18/2 wire and attach the sensor to it. Do not slice into
the wire supplied.
Step 2: Be sure to run the 18/2 wire inside the insulated stud space in the sauna wall.
Step 3: Be sure to leave a little slack in the 18/2 wire in the stud wall. Strip about 152mm (6'')
from the outer casing of the 18/2 pair, leaving the protective casing on the individual leads. This
will make it easier to attach the 18/2 wires to the sensor leads, and gives more flexibility when
pushing any excess wire back into the wall.
Step 4: The sensor wire should come out of the wall into the sauna room through a 5/8'' diame-
ter hole so the sensor is positioned over the heater according to the heater instructions (see fig-
ure 1)
Step 5: Do not hide or bury the sensor behind a cover other than the one supplied by Homecraft.
Incorrect installation of the sensor will negatively impact the heater operation, cause nuisance
high limit tripping (safety device in the heater), and compromise personal and fire safety.
Sensor Cover Installation
Step 1: Homecraft has supplied #6 wood screws and a flat washer; fasten the sensor to the sauna
wall over the sauna heater in the prescribed position 64mm (2 1/2'') below the ceiling.
Step 2: Fasten the sensor cover to the wall using the 4 supplied #6 wood screws, covering the
sensor and taking care not to nick or cut the wires leading to the sensor. Be sure to remove the
protective plastic film from the stainless steel sensor cover shown on page 8. The sensor cover is
designed to allow for adequate airflow and protects it from any damage or tampering.

Corner and wall installations:
The Homecraft provided Temperature Sensor
(thermistor) is installed 2’’ - 2.5’’ from the ceil-
ing on the centre line of the heater on a wall.
Alternatively, the sensor can be installed on the
ceiling above the centre of the heater
Middle installation: If the sauna heater is in-
stalled further than 3.5'' off a wall or a corner,
the installation method is always middle instal-
lation. The heater must be attached to the
benches or to a similar structure using a wall
support.
The heater must be secured to the floor or the
sauna bench structure in order to keep the safe-
ty distances the same using the supplied sup-
port brackets
Connecting the Sauna heater to the mains
Note: The Homecraft Sauna heater must be in-
stalled by a qualified electrician and in compli-
ance with current or local regulations. All
wiring to the sauna heater and accessories must
be routed away from any direct heat radiating
from the sauna heater. Install the control box
on the outside of the sauna room in a location
that is readily accessible for maintenance. Do
not install any electrical receptacles inside the
sauna room.
CAUTION: The manual reset limit shall be wired in the circuit
