Instructions for use and maintenance of pre-built modular saunas
1. General installation requirements
1.1.Your sauna should be installed by a professional installer.
1.2.The installer of the sauna must familiarize themselves thoroughly with the manufacturer's
warranty terms and the installation instructions.
1.3.The electrical components of the sauna may be installed and connected only by a qualified
electrician.
1.4.The wooden parts of the sauna must not be in permanent contact with water or the structures of
the room.
1.5.The exterior surfaces of the sauna must not be directly exposed to excessive humidity.
1.6.The installation site must have proper electrical connections that conform with state and local
codes.
2. On-site requirements- indoor sauna
2.1.Make sure adequate ventilation is ensured in the room to be used for installing the sauna to
ventilate the humidity and warm air created by the sauna.
2.2.Fresh air supply for the sauna room and heater must also be ensured. Be sure to leave an air gap
between the sauna structure and the adjacent structures of the room. This is necessary to avoid
formation of condensation between the structures of both the building and the sauna that
could damage them and shorten their lifetime. The manufacturer recommends ensuring a
minimum distance of 2".
2.3.The installation surface must be level and stable.
3. On-site requirements- outdoor sauna
3.1.The outdoor sauna is designed to be installed on a pre-prepared level and stable surface capable
of bearing the load.
3.2.Safety distances- you must leave at least a two-metre clearance around the sauna, unless
specified otherwise or provided otherwise by the local requirements for similar buildings.
3.3.If your sauna is delivered pre-assembled, the installation site must be accessible for heavy
machinery.
4. Sauna heater and heating stones
4.1.Install the sauna heater according to the heater manufacturer's installation instructions.
4.2.Install the sauna stones according to the heater manufacturer's instructions. Installation
requirements for the stones may vary depending on the sauna heater selected. As a
general rule, the heating elements of the heater must be covered with stones. Pouring
water directly on the heating elements will shorten the life of the heater and pose a health
risk (hot water splashes).
4.3.It is recommended to rinse the sauna stones with water before use. This cleans the
stones of any possible processing residue.
4.4.Never use the heater without stones.

Instructions for use and maintenance of pre-built and
pre-assembled indoor and outdoor saunas
5. Finishing and treating the wooden parts of the sauna with a protective agent
5.1.Before using the sauna, wooden surfaces should be treated with a suitable protective agent.
The manufacturer recommends using sauna wax or sauna wood oil (paraffin oil).
5.2.Depending on the installation method used for your sauna and the free space left in and around
the sauna, the wooden surfaces can be treated before or after installation.
5.3.Treating the wood will extend the life of the wood and your sauna, preserving its properties
and appearance. Treated surfaces repel water and dirt and are easier to clean.
6. When first starting the sauna
6.1.Make sure all parts of your sauna are intact and functional after installation and before the first
heating.
6.2.First heating: slowly heat your sauna to a temperature of 210°F under supervision, keep this
temperature for two hours and let the sauna cool down slowly. The sauna must be well ventilated
during the first heating- it is recommended to leave the door ajar. This is necessary to allow the
wood protecting agent to be absorbed into the wood and any residues from production and
processing to evaporate from the surfaces.
6.3.DO NOT STAY IN THE SAUNA DURING THE FIRST HEATING- substances evaporating from
surfaces may cause an unpleasant smell.
7. Using your sauna
7.1.Use the sauna only for the purpose for which it was manufactured.
7.2.Pour water only on the heating stones.
7.3.Use the sauna in moderation- it stimulates circulation, relaxes muscles and cleanses.
7.4.Rinse yourself with water between sauna sessions.
7.5.Be sure to stay well hydrated before and after your sauna session.
8. General sauna maintenance
8.1.After each use:
·Wipe the bench with a damp cloth after.
·Remove and pools of water from wooden surfaces.
·If the design of the bench allows it, raise the platforms to an upright position to dry.
·Let the heater run under supervision for approximately 20 minutes - wooden parts dry more
efficiently this way.
