THE BEST SAUNA
EXPERIENCE TO HAVE!
I
am very glad that you have invested in the Saunum
device, and I believe that our innovative technology
will offer you a wonderful and extraordinary sauna
experience.
I have a degree in thermal engineering and come from
Southern Estonia, where my love for saunas began.The special
feature of local historic smoke saunas is the lower tempera-
ture and higher humidity level than, for example, a classic
Finnish sauna. In ordinary saunas, the stone volume of the
sauna heater is generally small. Such an arrangement can
cause a sudden, burning hot steam and an extremely uneven
temperature, where your head and shoulder level is really hot,
but your feet are left cold. Such an experience can be quite
unpleasant and may cause headaches and lead to body stress.
However, in ancient smoke saunas and Native American sau-
nas, the stones were rst heated during the day. Then the heat
stored in the stones was used to cleanse the body and create a
truly enjoyable sauna experience.
Inspired by the experience of a smoke sauna, I wanted to
create an innovative solution that combines the best featu-
res of an authentic sauna with modern technology; enabling
a pleasantly mild and relaxing sauna experience without
painfully scorching steam. For that, however, I had to solve the
problem of how to achieve an even temperature, at both the
head and foot levels. My development work was supported
by research done alongside Tallinn University of Technology,
in which we analysed the thermal stratication and air move-
ment in the sauna room. Saunum was born in cooperation
between scientic thinking and technological innovation.

Saunum’s unique patented mixing system of air layers cap-
tures the hot steam that rises under the ceiling of the sauna
room, mixes it with the cooler air from the surface of the oor,
and directs the milder steam back evenly. This makes for an
enjoyable, unaggressive heat. You can sit in the sauna for a
longer time and enjoy a sweat and a deep cleanse without
feeling tired. The stone volume of our heaters is signicantly
larger than other sauna heaters, which is the reason for the
especially pleasant indoor climate with long and soft steam.
A moist steamy sauna, a therapeutic salt sauna, or a healthy
aroma sauna – all of these functions are available on Saunum’s
devices to create a truly relaxing sauna experience. When
using Himalayan salt orbs in our device, salt ions that are
benecial to the skin and respiratory tract evaporate and the
steam circulates these into the air. Adding a sauna aroma sys-
tem that blends steam and healthy aroma oil creates an even
more enjoyable sauna environment.
Saunum’s sauna devices are suitable for both adults and
children.
Have a pleasant sauna!

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
USING THE AUTOMATED
WATER DISPENSING UNIT
The air in the sauna becomes dry as it heats
up.Therefore, it is necessary to create steam
to achieve a suitable level of humidity. The
eects of heat and steam on people are
dierent. When testing the dierent set-
tings of the sauna climate device, you will
nd the most suitable combination of
temperature and humidity. The eects of
heat and steam on people are dierent.
• Always check there are no water
leaks in the system.
• Always check that the water dis-
pensing unit has switched o and
stopped water dispensing after the
operation period has elapsed.
• Always check that the water tap is
closed when the sauna session is
nished.
• Make sure that the controller unit
is installed in a dry room where the
ambient temperature does not drop
below 0ºC to avoid the water in the
system freezing.
• Excessive moisture may damage
the electrical equipment and sauna
construction!
• Make sure you have proper venti-
lation in the sauna room. Ventilate
the sauna room after high-humidity
sauna sessions.
• Avoid throwing excessive amounts
of water on the stones.
• Prolonged sauna use can damage
your health or cause death.
• Do not stay in the steam room for
more than 30 continuous minutes
(in a row).
• Leave the steam room if you feel
sleepy, dizzy, or weak.
• Do not dry objects or living things in
the sauna.

USING AUTOLEIL UNIT
WITH LEIL CONTROL UNIT
The device requires a Saunum Leil cont-
roller for operation and is suitable with
Saunum heaters.
NB! AutoLEIL requires the latest Saunum
Leil controller software. Before proceed-
ing, be sure to update the "Control
Panel" on the Leil touch screen.
AutoLEIL communicates with the Saunum
Leil controller via the data cable. Leil is
the main controller of the heater system,
whereas AutoLEIL is an accessory device in
the system.
AutoLEIL is recognised by Leil when they
are connected. AutoLEIL does not have its
own user interface it uses the touch screen
control panel of the Leil system and the
AutoLEIL functions will appear in Leil system
when the two systems are connected.
The automatic water dispensing unit will
turn o when the set time ends, when the
"Stop" button is pressed on Leil, when the
automatic dispensing function is turned
OFF via operating button, or when an error
occurs.
AUTOMATIC WATER
DISPENSING UNIT
The water dispensing unit is designed for
the automatic dispensing of water on the
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
heated stones of a sauna heater and scans
and maintains sauna climate according to
the user’s preferences through the sensors
and electronics of the unit. The automatic
dispensing of the water allows the sauna
user to sit back and relax, while the sauna
humidity is regulated automatically. Water
dispensing parameters and sauna climate
parameters can be modied through the
Leil touchscreen control panel.
• Controls the sauna room humidity
according to humidity sensor read-
ings by automatically dispensing
water on the heater stones.
• Alternatively, the unit can be set up
to throw user-specied amounts of
water at specied time intervals.
• Enables three pre-set sauna types
where the automatic water dispens-
ing is described separately.
• The operating button inside the sau-
na allows for a“push button”method
of throwing water on heated stones.
• Enables selecting a time for the sau-
na to be ready for use
After completing the installation of the
unit, the installer should give this manual to
the owner of the sauna. The product owner
should provide the manual to all persons
using or operating the sauna. Please read
more instructions for the installation, use,
and recycling, in the original user manual
of the control unit. Saunum reserves the
