8. Sauna Stones
i. Carefully check that none of the stones have white lines running through them, these are
susceptible to exploding when hot so do not place these in the rock basket.
ii. Note we recommend washing the stones thoroughly in water to remove any dust before the rst
use.
iii. Put the larger stones at the bottom and smaller stones on top.
iv. Take care not to pack the stones too tightly other wise the air will not be able to circulate around
the elements which can cause premature failure, but do make sure to cover the elements
completely.
v. It will be necessary to change the stones from time to time as they will gradually crumble with
use. For commercial users this is probably every year, for domestic users once every several years,
depending upon use.
9. Testing and Operation
i. Turn the power on to the heater using the IP rated rocker switch
ii. Turn the heater on using the on/o button on the control panel
iii. The default time will show as 60 minutes and 60 degrees Celcius.
iv. Press the Set button to adjust the temperature, the red LED next to “oC” will light up and the main
display will ash
v. Use the red and blue up and down buttons to adjust the temperature in 1 degree increments (max
temp 110 degrees Celsius.
vi. Press the Set button again to adjust the time, the red LED beside“minute” will light up and the
main display will ash
vii. Use the red and blue up and down buttons to adjust the time in increments of 5minutes (max time
90mins)
viii.Press the Set button once more to conrm the choices (time displays as default)
The heater holds a memory as long as it is only switched o by the on/o button on the control
panel, however it is recommended that the heater is switched o using the rocker switch because the
transformer will continue to absorb approximately 8watts per hour.

10. Trouble shooting Guide
Please Note that we recommend a suitably qualied person carries out all repairs.
Trouble description Cause Solutions

click) to reset the overheat
sensor.
Maintenance
We recommend that you inspect the sauna heater on a regular basis for any signs of deterioration
of the condition, pay particular attention to both the fastenings, the condition of the wiring and
the electrical elements.
Note if the rocks have started to crumble this can cause the elements to overheat and they should
be changed for new rocks. We recommend commercial operators to change the rocks at least
once very 12 months.
10.1. Sauna Heaters & Sauna Cabins Maintenance
All Sauna products supplied by Direct Saunas Limited and Oceanic Saunas are for use in an indoor
environment such as a domestic house or a club building and should not be used in any other
circumstances.
10.2. Sauna Maintenance
Dependant upon how regularly the sauna cabin is being used a series of maintenance checks
should be performed on the sauna cabin and sauna heater to ensure that they are kept in a good
state of repair.
For commercial users we recommend these inspections be conducted on a monthly basis by a
member of the maintenance sta and detailed records kept.
For domestic use these checks should be carried out every 6 months.
Any obvious deterioration should be noted immediately if noticed in between maintenance
checks and should be resolved before continuing use of the products.
Under no circumstances do we recommend operating the sauna cabin if any electrical wiring
is considered to be hazardous, please contact your electrician or our technical department for
assistance.
10.3. Maintenance Checks
Please note all maintenance checks should be preformed whilst the sauna cabin and sauna heater
are cold.
10.4. Sauna Heater:
Ensure the heater has been correctly disconnected from the mains electricity before these checks
are conducted
1) Check sauna elements for signs of deterioration. Report any signs of deterioration to the
supplier

Sauna & Steam
Oceanic Saunas 01902 450 550 [e-mail] www.oceanic-saunas.co.uk 14
Sauna Heater Manual
2) Make sure all rocks are placed correctly onto the heater elements to ensure an adequate
airow around the elements. Note that the rocks will gradually crumble and settle around the
elements which can then cause overheating, this may lead to early failure or even melting of the
elements.
For commercial operators an electrician must periodically inspect and ensure all the wiring is in a
good condition and all connections are good and tight – a good idea would be to have this carried
out annually as for PAT testing.
10.5. Sauna Cabin
i. Ensure all signage (safety and usage) is in place and in a readable condition.
ii. Check the benches are secure and have no signs of deterioration, if benches have become loose
ensure they are tightened correctly.
iii. If there are any splinters on the bench sand over lightly until they have been removed.
iv. Any major damage to the benches should be reported to the supplier and further advice will be
given.
v. Ensure the timbers surrounding the heater have not become charred. Any oending timber slats
should be replaced in a reasonable time period.
vi. Ensure that the heater guard is in place and conforms to the clearance distances stated in the
sauna heater manual. Check for any signs of charring and replace the heater guard if it is showing
signs of disrepair.
vii. The sauna cabin should be kept in a clean and hygienic state at all times. It is recommended that
the benches in the sauna are wiped down with a weak solution of disinfectant and water after
each use we especially recommend this in commercial divisions. The oor in the sauna should be
mopped regularly.
11. Warranty & After Sales
All Oceanic Sauna Heaters are guaranteed for 12 months from the date of purchase against faulty
materials or workmanship. The guarantee excludes consumable items such as the electrical elements
and faults arising from misuse or abuse of the appliance.
Elements last for 2500 hours, after this time has passed you should be expecting to buy new ones,
premature failure can be caused by:
- A half lled rock basket.
- Rocks forced against elements from bad lling
- Customers throwing large amounts of water over the rocks, for heavy duty places we
recommend screwing the bucket to the bench this prevents this from happening.
- Incorrectly wired heater.
For warranty claims and after sales service outside or the guarantee please contact your local Oceanic
dealer.
If you encounter any diculty with this assembly procedure or think we could have explained
anything more clearly we would welcome your comments, please call 01902 655425 or 01902 871127
