A sauna works in the same fashion as a room
in a house. In the room there are heating
elements that make sure that the room
temperature is maintained at the desired
temperature. Ventilation lets fresh air in and
spent air is led out. Asauna works in the same
way. However, there are a few parameters
that must be correct for a sauna to function
optimally. The most important relationship is
between the output of the heater and the
volume of the sauna room. If the dimensions
are incorrect, it can cause the sauna to heat
up too quickly or the heater to overload.
Heating elements and stones
In the heater there are stainless steel elements
which radiate heat. The heat is transmitted to
stones that are placed in the heater. These
stones help to keep an even temperature in
the sauna. The stone compartment should be
airy.The largerstonesare placed onthe bottom
and the smaller stones on top. The stones
should cover the heating elements completely.
After some time of usage it may appear that
the amount of stones has diminished. What
happens is that the stones crack and then pack
tighter together. This causes the air circulation
in the heater to be reduced, and it takes longer
time to heat up. There is a rule of thumb that is
good to follow when it comes to taking care of
the stones in the heater. The rule of thumb
says that if you use your sauna once a week
you need to repack the stones once a year.
Twice a week means repacking twice a year
and so on. Replace those stones that have
become brown or black from the heat. We
recommendthat youbrush andrinsethe sauna
stones free from grit before they are placed in
the heater.
Example of the correct ventilation in
the sauna. Read more about
ventilation on page 17.
The heating elements heat the
stones in the sauna heater.
Brush off the sauna stones from grit
before you place them in the heater.

The sauna heater and included
parts
Sauna heater
The sauna heater Pikkutonttu is, with its design and technology, a heater that offers unique
qualities. The low temperature of the mantle results in a safety distance between the
mantle and the closest wood part of only 10 mm. You can begin ladling water on the heater
at such low temperatures as 50–60°C. The sauna heater should be filled with about 80
kilograms of rocks.
Temperature sensor
The temperature sensor is mounted inside the sauna. It is mounted by an installer directly
over the heater, 40 mm from the ceiling. The sensor has two functions:
1. Register the temperature in the sauna and send signals to the heater for more or less output.
2. Protection against overheating. In the event of overheating, the heater is turned off if the
temperature in the sauna gets to high (see Alarm on page 15). Deviations from the given
distances cause fire hazard. The function of the sensor is to turn off the entire output of the
heater if the temperature of the heater gets too high. When the temperature has sunk, the
sensor can be reset by pushing the reset button with a screwdriver. Before you reset the
sensor the cause of the fault shall be corrected.
Digital control panel
With the help of a control panel, the user sets temperature, start time and duration. The
control panel is mounted on the wall by an installer. It can be mounted in two ways: inserted
in the wall or mounted on the wall. The programming of the time and language is easily done
by you or the installer. See more information about the control panel on page 6.

Functions of the control panel
With the control panel, you set the time for the heater to start, for how long it will work
and the temperature in the sauna. It is also possible to program four memory buttons for
special sauna baths. This means that you only need to push one button to start the
heater.
To start the sauna heater, you need to adjust the following parameters:
1. Start time – when the heater is to start.
2. Temperature – the temperature in the sauna.
3. Duration – the length of time the heater is to be on.
Memory buttons:
We recommend that you take advantage of the memory buttons when using your sauna.
You can easily enter your preferences on separate buttons. When it is time to take a
sauna bath you activate them with a single push. Each memory button has preset values
when the control panel is delivered from the factory. Read more about memory buttons
on page 11.
Basic settings:
Before you use the sauna, you need to set the basic settings on the control panel.
These basic settings are setting the time and choosing the language. Read more about
basic settings on page 8.
You easily set the
temperature with the
digital control panel.

Activate Smartsauna
Smartsauna is a function that measures the temperature in the sauna and computes the
length of time the heater will take to heat the sauna to the temperature that is set on the control
panel. The function only works when it is activated and in conjunction with a time setting.
1. Push the button prog ok for
three seconds

and wish to relax with a sauna
bath directly when you come
home. When you arrive home at
16:00, you want the sauna to be
ready for you. By activating the
function Smartsauna the control
panel computes when the heater
should start, in order to warm up
the sauna to the temperature you
have chosen on the control panel.

Alarm Display What to do
Alarm
When there is an alarm situation, the control panel stops the heating, and the cause for
the alarm is shown on the display of the control panel.
Maintenance
Sauna stones
We recommend that you brush and rinse the sauna stones free from grit before placing
them in the stone compartment. If the stones begin to crumble, you should replace them
as soon as possible. Read more about sauna stones on page 4.
The sauna
The sauna should be kept free of dirt and odors, just like the bathroom. Remove any
accumulations of water and salt with the help of soft soap and water. Furthermore, be
careful not to keep laundry and other fire hazardous material close to the heater.
Vent
In the sauna there is a vent (outlet vent) that releases warm air. Clean the outlet vent
with water and soft soap once or twice a year.
Check the cause. Reset
the sensor by pushing
the reset button with a
screwdriver.

Examples of different baths
Finnish sauna
A Finnish sauna is humid and has a high temperature. This is achieved by ladling water on
the stones. The effect of a Finnish sauna is that you feel clean and warm. To achieve this:
1. Set the temperature between 70 and 80°C
2. Ladle water on the stones until the humidity is ca 20 %.
3. Take a sauna bath for 10–15 minutes.
4. Take a break of about 5 minutes. Cool down and drink fluids.
5. Repeat this procedure as many times as you like.
General information about
sauna bathing
Allow yourself plenty of time when you take a sauna bath. You should not feel
stressed. To take a sauna bath should be a pleasure.
Take a shower before entering the sauna. If the situation demands that you wear a
towel, it should not be too tight.
Take a break after 10–15 minutes. Leave the sauna, enjoy a cold shower and relax.
Repeat this procedure as you see fit.
Many feel that the most pleasurable part of sauna bathing is “throwing water”on the
hot stones of the heater, which means that a few scoops of water are ladled over
the hot stones. The cloud of hot air that is formed is called “löyly”and is considered
the soul of the sauna.
Take a shower before
entering the sauna.
Use a towel if the
situation calls for it. Increase the moisture by ladling water on the
stones.
Information to the user

17
Wet sauna
Dry sauna
A dry sauna has high temperature and low humidity. This is achieved by not ladling
water on the stones. The effect of a dry sauna is that you feel calm and harmonious.
To achieve this:
1. Set the temperature between 85 and 90°C. Humidity 5–10 %.
2. Take a sauna bath for 15–20 minutes.
4. Take a break of about 5 minutes. Cool down and drink fluids.
5. Repeat this procedure as many times as you like.
Recommended ventilation
In order to get full enjoyment out of the sauna baths it is important to have a well working
ventilation system. There are several solutions for building ventilation systems in a
sauna and a distinction is made between mechanical ventilation and a natural draft.
Here we recommend solutions according to the location of the heater in the sauna.

A wet sauna means high humidity and low temperature. This is achieved by ladling
