Note:
The electric cord extends out from the center of the roof cap. The cord is approximately 9ft long. It is recommended that
the location of the outlet you are installing is accessible without moving the sauna.
Dedicated circuit requires that no other appliance should share outlet/circuit with sauna. Failure to comply with this
requirement may cause electrical interruption and diminished sauna performance.
It is recommended that a qualified electrician install your dedicated electrical wiring for proper sauna function and to avoid
any potential electrical hazards.

Part A: Installation
Unpacking your Sauna
Please identify the 3 boxes (A/B/C) that arrived in your shipment. Place boxes in an open area. All 3 boxes are
labeled with the contents inside. It is recommended that a minimum of 2 people be present for unpacking and
assembly. Lay boxes flat on the ground with lettering facing up. Please make sure the area is clear of debris. Open
the boxes from smallest to largest to make for light, fast work.
The following steps will be divided into 3 sections.
First, we will start with the Colorado/Durango, next will be the Rio Grande and finally the Big Bear Sauna.
The tools required for assembly are a Phillips-Head Screwdriver (optional tools: Rubber mallet & small step ladder).
Note: All panels all labeled with white stickers. Please follow instructions carefully. If you should have any
questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at

used for the Back panel. Please remove plastic wrap from Front panel but be careful so that the
glass door does not swing open. At this point, one person should secure both Front and Back
panels by holding them.
Moving Your Sauna after Assembly- RMS strongly recommends that you place sliders or ‘EZ Moves’
(Lowe’s or Home Depot) under the furniture feet or the perimeter corners of the Base Platform of the
Colorado 2 person sauna to allow for easy sliding of the sauna into its permanent location after
assembly. Place the EZ moves under the corners prior to beginning assembly. (On the Durango, Rio
Grande and Big Bear models, you may want to use a few mores ‘sliders’. Place sliders under the corners and
under the outside perimeter of the base platform.)
IMPORTANT NOTE: WHEN MOVING THE ASSEMBLED SAUNA:
1. DO NOT PUSH ON THE CABINET ITSELF AS YOU MAY “RACK” OR DAMAGE SAUNA !!

splitting or chipping of the wood.
