Operating conditions
Features
 Harvia Vega sauna heater
 Wooden construction
 Temperature adjustable from 20°C – 60°C (5°C increments)
 Adjustable dwell time from 0 to 60 minutes

Maintenance
 Clean the sauna room with a soft wet cloth or sauna cleanser. NEVER use alcohol, benzene

Transportation and storage
 Avoid exposure to rain, snow, or other harsh environments during transport.

 Two persons are recommended for safe assembly.
 Please pay attention to the following before installation.

 Position the sauna on a flat and level surface.
 DO NOT splash the exterior with water. If the floor is damp, install a floor separator to keep
the sauna dry.
 DO NOT store any flammable objects or chemical substances near the sauna.
 The TD sauna will need to be connected to an isolator, and this needs to be carried out by
a qualified electrician. Please contact SaunaMed product support if in doubt.

Using the spacer
 To connect the wall sections together easily, use the wooden spacer (refer to images below)
to bring the ‘male’ and ‘female’ connector pins into alignment.
 When connecting the side panels to the back panel, ensure that one assembler holds the
back panel in place while the other assembler places the spacer on the edge of the floor
section before placing the side wall on top of the spacer. This will raise the height of the
male pins in the side wall to the same height as the female pins in the back without the need
for lifting.
 Once the pins are pushed together and secure, remove the spacer from under the wall
section. The wall panel will drop and lock into place.
 Check that both the top and bottom pins are fully connected before moving onto the next
section.

Harvia Vega heater user guide
Harvia Vega heater
All SaunaMed TD saunas come with the 6kW Harvia Vega sauna heater (BC60).
Please read this section (Harvia Vega heater user guide) carefully before using the heater.
Selecting the correct type of stones
The heater comes with 1 x set of sauna stones. However, sauna stones need to be replaced yearly,
so please read the guidance notes below regarding selecting the correct stone type.
 The stones should be 5 – 10 cm in diameter.
 Only use angular, split-face sauna stones that are intended for use in a sauna heater.
Peridotite, olivine-dolerite, and olivine are suitable stone types.
 Split-face stones store plenty of heat, making the water thrown onto them vaporise
efficiently on the broad fracture surface. The split-face stones are easy to stack and enable
good air circulation, which saves the heating elements of an electric heater. Light (ceramic),
soft (soapstone) and smooth (rounded) sauna stones do not produce the desired results.
The split-face sauna stones by Harvia are selected with respect for old sauna traditions and
provide bathers with proper, soft steam sensations.
 Light, porous ceramic ‘stones’ or soft soapstones do not absorb enough heat when warmed
up. This can damage the heating elements.
 Wash off all dust from the stones before piling them into the heater.
Piling the sauna stones
DO DO NOT
Place the stones gently into the heater. Drop stones into the heater
Distribute the stones evenly between the
heating elements and pile the stones such that
they support each other.
Lean the stones on the heating elements
directly.
Ensure that there is sufficient space between
the stones to allow for air circulation between
them.
Do not place objects or devices which could
interfere with the air circulation/flow between
the stones inside the heater, between the
heating elements, or near the heater.
