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 the
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 features
of an authentic sauna with modern technology; enabling a
pleasantly mild and relaxing sauna experience without pain-
fully 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 stratication and air move-
ment in the sauna room. Saunum was born in cooperation
between scientic 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 signicantly
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 sanarium, 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 balls in our device, salt ions that
are benecial to 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!

HEATING
THE SAUNA ROOM
Before using the sauna climate device for
the rst time, make sure that:
• the electrical connections meet the
requirements;
• the supply voltage corresponds to
the nominal ratings allowed for the
sauna climate device;
• the protective earth (PE) is in work-
ing order;
• the attachments of the sauna cli-
mate device housing are in order;
• the sauna climate device is properly
attached to the wall;
• the over-current fuses are in working
order;
• the fan rotor rotates smoothly;
• there are no tools or materials left
after mounting the device in the
housing.
When switching the sauna climate device
on, check:
• the direction of the air ow – the air
intake from the upper and the out-
put from the lower opening;
• that there is no vibration or excessive
noise when the fan is running.
When the sauna climate device is switched
on for the rst time, the heaters and the
stones will emit an odour. The sauna room
must be properly ventilated to remove the
odour.
If the power of the heater is suitable for the
sauna room, it takes 45-90 minutes to reach
the desired temperature in a properly insu-
lated sauna room. The stones are usually
heated to the steam temperature at the
same time as the sauna room. Only switch
the device fan on just before entering the
sauna room – this will help to prevent the
sauna bench from overheating and an
excessive energy consumption. Saunum’s
recommended temperature for sauna
operation is 65 ° to 80 °C.
USING THE SAUNA
CLIMATE DEVICE
NB! Before switching the sauna climate
device on, always make sure that nothing is
above or near it.
The operating time of the sauna climate
device model Sauna Primary Set may be
adjusted by a separate control device.
• Do not connect the device directly to
the mains!
• The sauna climate device must not
be used if the components of its
housing have been removed and/
or the wiring diagram has been
changed.
• Children should not be allowed to
access or play with the sauna climate
device.
• When switching the sauna cli-
mate device on and o, refer to the
instructions for use of the control
device you are using.
NB! After using the sauna, make sure that
all parts of the sauna climate device are
switched o (the heating and the fan have
stopped).
ADJUSTING
THE TEMPERATURE
NB! It is recommended to keep the air cir-
culation fan of the sauna climate device
switched o during the heating of the
sauna room!
In this case, the sauna room heats up faster
and the sauna bench does not get too hot
during the heating.To nd the right setting,
start testing at the lowest temperature and
lowest airow rate. If the temperature be-
comes too high while in the sauna room,
reduce the maximum temperature in the
sauna room or the fan speed of the sauna
climate device.
REGULATION OF THE
SAUNA CLIMATE
The amount of air circulation generated by
the device is regulated by a rotary switch
located on the front of the device, in the
middle of the lower part.The switch has four
positions and may be turned both clockwise
and anticlockwise. When the line on the
switch button points to the left, the fan of
the sauna climate device is switched o.
The airow speed increases by turning the
switch clockwise, you may choose between
three dierent speeds. To regulate the air
temperature in the sauna room, there is a
steam air cooling damper on the left side of
the heater housing, lower than the device
stone area (see page 25). The recommen-
ded setting is to keep the cooling damper
1/3 open. To cool the steam, try to open the
damper little by little.
USE OF HIMALAYAN
SALT BALLS
The sauna climate device comes with Hima-
layan salt balls. The use of salt balls in the
device is optional and does not aect the
main function of the device.
To use the salt balls, they must be installed
in the sockets between the air outlet grille
and the fan. Make sure that the salt balls
are installed correctly and do not impede
the fan rotation.
To install or remove the salt balls, remove
the front panel (see page 29) and place the
salt balls in their sockets. After installing or
removing the salt balls, reposition the front
panel. The sauna climate device may only
be used with the front panel in place!
Do not use/start the device if the salt balls
get into the fan housing!
NB! The use of third-party salt balls is not
covered by the device warranty.
THROWING WATER
ON THE HEATER
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 volume of the sauna ladle should
not exceed 0.2 litres. When throwing
water, the amount of water should not
exceed 0.2 litres, because by pouring
too much water on the stones at once,
some of it may be sprayed outwards in
splashes of boiling water.
Make sure that people are at a safe distance
from the heater when creating steam! Hot
steam and water splashes cause skin burns.
The water to be thrown ontothe heater must
meet the requirements for clean domestic
water. Only fragrances specially designed
for a sauna may be used in the water. Follow
the instructions on the package.
NB! Do not pour water into the ventilation
openings of the sauna climate device!
LOADING THE STONES
Stacking stones has a great eect on the
operation of the heater.
Important to know:
• The diameter of the stones must be
5–8 cm.
• Only stones sold for saunas are inten-
ded for use in the heaters.
• Do not use light, porous ceramic
“stones”, or soft tiles in the heater.
They do not store enough heat when
heated and can result in damage to
the heating elements.
• Wash any dust o the stones before
placing them in the heater.
NB! When using Saunum equipment,
we always recommend doing so with
high-quality polished sauna stones!
When loading the stones, note:
• Do not allow the stones to fall into
the heater.
• Do not force the stones between the
heating elements.
• Do not allow the stones to rest on
the heating elements with their own
weight, but load the stones so that
they support each other.
• Do not stack the stones on the
heater.
• Do not place objects in the vicinity of
the stone area or the fan of the sauna
climate device that may change
the amount or direction of the air
owing through the sauna climate
device.
WARNINGS
• Staying in the sauna room for a long
time raises your body temperature,
which may be dangerous to your
health!
• Do not touch the hot heater – the
stones and the outside of the heater
may burn you!
• Do not allow children, disabled or
sick people into the sauna room
without supervision!
• Consult a doctor about medical
contraindications to steam!
• Consult a doctor about medical
contraindications to salt treatment!
• Make sure you are not allergic to salt
treatment. Saunum is not respon-
sible for the side eects of salt treat-
ment!
• Consult a paediatrician or family
doctor about the presence of chil-
dren in the sauna room!
• Be careful when moving in the sauna
and sauna room, as the bench and
the oor may be slippery!
• Do not go to the sauna under the in-
uence of alcohol, drugs, or narcotics!
• Do not sleep in the hot sauna room!
• Sea air and humid climates may
cause an oxide layer (rust) on the
metal surfaces of the heater!
• Make sure you have proper ventila-
tion in the sauna room. Saunum is
not responsible for possible salt cor-
rosion of equipment and machinery.
If necessary, consult a specialist!
• Do not hang towels and clothes to
dry in the sauna room – this may
cause a re hazard!
• Excessive moisture may damage the
electrical equipment!
• There must be no obstructions closer
than 50 cm in front of the fan open-
ing!
• Sauna users must not keep their feet
or other body parts closer than 50
cm in front of the fan!
Please note. The electric heater requires
a control panel and stones.
NB! Do not leave the fan of the sauna cli-
mate device running when you are not in
the sauna room – this will cause an exces-
sive energy consumption, and the sauna
bench will become too hot!

NB! Contact a qualied service specia-
list to perform maintenance. In the case
of any disturbances in the operation of
the sauna climate device, the use of the
device must be stopped immediately
and the device must be inspected by a
person authorised by Saunum.
THE SAUNA CLIMATE DEVICE DOES NOT
HEAT OR BLOW AIR.
• Make sure that the heater fuses are
in working order.
• Make sure the connection cable is
connected.
• Make sure that the sauna climate
device is switched on.
• Increase the maximum tempera-
ture in the sauna room.
THE SAUNA ROOM HEATS UP SLOWLY.
THE WATER THROWN ON THE STONES
COOLS THEM DOWN QUICKLY.
• Make sure that the air circulation
fan of the sauna climate device is
switched o during the heating.
• Make sure that the fuses of the sau-
na climate device are in working
order.
• Make sure that all heating ele-
ments are hot (smouldering) when
the sauna climate device is ope-
rating.
• Increase the selected temperature
on the control device.
• Make sure that the power of the
heater is sucient.
• Check the stones. Stones that are
placed too tightly, falling down/
sinking closer over time, or the
wrong type of stone may inter-
fere with the air ow through the
heater and therefore reduce the
heating speed.
• Make sure that the ventilation of
the sauna room is correct.
THE SAUNA ROOM HEATS UP QUICKLY,
BUT THE TEMPERATURE OF THE STONES
IS INSUFFICIENT. THE WATER THROWN
ON THE STONES FLOWS DOWN.
• Make sure that the power of the
heater is not too high. If the power
of the heater is suitable for the
sauna room, it takes 45–90 minutes
to reach the desired temperature in
a properly insulated sauna room.
• Make sure that the ventilation of
the sauna room is correct.
• Reduce the speed of the sauna
climate device fan.
THE WALL COVERING OR OTHER
MATERIAL NEAR THE HEATER BECOMES
DIRTY QUICKLY.
• Observe the safety distance
requirements.
• Check the stones. Stones that are
placed too tightly, stones falling
down/sinking closer over time, or
the wrong type of stone may inter-
fere with the air ow through the
heater and cause the surrounding
materials to overheat.
• Make sure that no heating ele-
ments are visible between the
stones. If the heating elements
are visible, lift the cooled stones
so that the heating elements are
completely covered.
NB! Too sparsely placed stones allow the
heating elements to overheat and worsen
the indoor climate of the sauna room. It
may cause a re hazard!
THE WOODEN SURFACES OF THE SAUNA
ROOM BECOME DIRTY OVER TIME.
This process may be accelerated by:
• sunlight;
• heat from the heater;
• wall protectors (protection equip-
ment has poor heat resistance);
• ne particles from the stones.
THE HEATER SMELLS.
• See section HEATING THE SAUNA
ROOM page 12.
• A hot heater may amplify odours
mixed with air, but this, however,
is not caused by the sauna nor the
heater. Causes include paint, glue,
oil, spices, etc.
THE SAUNA CLIMATE DEVICE IS MAKING
NOISE.
• There is always a certain noise
when the fan is running. If it is not
uniform and/or accompanied by a
metallic sound, the fan is likely to
need maintenance or repair. Check
that there are no foreign objects in
the fan air vents.
• Try switching the fan to a lower
speed.
• Loud sounds are likely to be caused
by stones cracking due to heat.
• Thermal expansion of the heater
parts may cause noise when the
heater warms up.

ENG ENG
• the connection cables are undam-
aged. In the event of damage to the
connection cables, have the cables
replaced by a qualied electrician
in accordance with the applicable
standards and requirements before
continuing maintenance and clean-
ing work.
The device housing can be cleaned with
a cloth dampened with water. Do not use
pressure washers, running water, chemical
cleaners, or solvents to clean the housing!
Use a 10% citric acid solution to remove
scale and rinse with water.
Excessive dirt can prevent the fan rotor
from operating correctly, causing an in-
crease in noise when operating the sauna
climate device. Noise may also increase due
to damage/bending of the fan blades. Make
sure that there are no foreign objects or salt
balls in the working area of the fan rotor.
Generally, the fan does not need to be
cleaned more than once a year. The fan may
only be cleaned by a person authorised by
Saunum.
Using compressed air to clean the fan can
permanently damage the fan rotor! The fan
bearings are maintenance-free and must
be replaced if problems occur.
It is recommended to check all electrical
connections of the sauna climate device at
least once a year. This can be done by a suit-
ably qualied person.
MAINTENANCE
Due to large temperature uctuations,
stones tend to break down. Stones must
be restacked at least once a year and even
more frequently when using the sauna
often. When restacking the stones, remove
stone fragments from the bottom of the
heater and replace the broken stones with
new ones. By monitoring this, the heating
capacity of the heater remains optimal and
the risk of overheating is avoided.
If you use Himalayan salt balls with the
sauna climate device, it is recommended
to inspect the salt balls once a year and, if
necessary, replace worn and broken balls
with new ones. Make sure that there are no
foreign objects in the fan air vents of the
sauna climate device.
CAUTION! Before maintaining and clean-
ing the sauna climate device, the device
power supply must be disconnected from
the mains, and the moving parts of the unit
must completely stop.
Before servicing and cleaning the sauna
climate device, make sure that:
• the sauna climate device is discon-
nected from the mains (in addition
to the device’s power switch, also by
means of over-current fuses);
• the device fan has stopped com-
pletely;
• the prescribed occupational safety
and personal protective equipment
is used when performing the work;
SAUNA ROOM
A prerequisite for the installation of the
sauna climate device is a properly prepared
sauna room. The thermal insulation of walls
and ceilings must be appropriate, other-
wise it will take too much time and energy
to heat the room. The power supply cables
for the heater and the fan must be indicat-
ed on the electrical connection board in
accordance with Table 1 (see pages 10–11).
SAUNA ROOM
VENTILATION
The air in the sauna room must be changed
at least six times an hour.
When using mechanical air extraction,
place the air supply above the sauna climate
device. When using natural air
extraction,
place the air supply under or next to the
sauna climate device. The air supply pipe
must have a diameter of 80 to 100 mm.
Install the air outlet near the oor, as far as
possible from the sauna climate device. The
diameter of the air extraction pipe must be
twice the diameter of the air supply pipe.
If the air outlet is in the washroom, there
must be a gap of at least 100 mm under the
sauna room door.
Exhaust ventilation in the sauna room is
mandatory.
The venting hole for drying (optional)
must be installed in the ceiling near the
wall opposite to the sauna climate device
(closed during heating and sauna). The
sauna can also be dried by leaving the
door open after using the sauna. The sau-
na ventilation system should preferably
prevent the sauna exhaust air from enter-
ing other rooms, especially when using the
sauna climate device with salt balls.

POWER OF THE HEATER
If there is sucient insulation behind the
wall and ceiling covering, the power of the
heater is determined by the volume of the
sauna room. Non-insulated walls (brick,
glass block, glass, concrete, oor tiles, etc.)
need a more powerful heater. Add 1.2 m³
to the volume of the sauna room for each
square metre of uninsulated wall.
For example, a 10 m³ sauna room with
a glass door corresponds to the capacity
requirement of a 12 m³ sauna room. If the
sauna room has log walls, multiply the
volume by 1.5. The optimal sauna room
sizes for the sauna climate device Saunum
Primary Set are given in Table 1 (see pages
10–11). The height of the sauna room is
usually 2,100 to 2,300 mm.
The minimum height when installing the
sauna climate device Saunum Primary
Set is 1,800 mm.
• Saunum Primary Set B – A and B 50 mm

NB! Due to the potential danger of ther-
mal embrittlement, it is forbidden to use
a PVC-insulated cable as the connection
cable for the sauna climate device.
• The internal connections of the device
are made by means of screw terminals
according to Figure 3 (see page 31)
and Table 1 (see pages 10–11) in this
manual.
• Protective earthing (PE) must be con-
nected to the connection terminal of
the device, with the cross-sectional
area of the cable being at least 2.5
mm.
• The heater must be powered from
the 380VAC (3-phase) or 230VAC
(1-phase) 50/60 Hz supply circuit
through a control device protected
by an over-current fuse of the size
shown in Table 1 (see pages 10–11).
• If you want to connect the air circu-
lation fan of the device separately
from the heater control device,
the fan must be connected via a
residual-current device. In this case,
the protective earthing (PE) of the
fan supply input terminal of the
sauna climate device must not be
brought into contact with the pro-
tective earthing of the heater sup-
ply input terminal. In this case, use
earthed cables of at least 1.5 mmto
power the fan.
• The power cable must enter the
housing of the sauna climate device
so that the water does not ow along
the cable into the electrical connec-
tion box of the housing of the sauna
climate device. The outer insulation
of the cable can only be peeled
o only from the part that is in the
device housing.
• If the connection and installation
cables are higher than 1,000 mm
from the oor of the sauna room or
inside the walls of the sauna room,
they must be able to withstand at
least 170 °C (e.g., SSJ). Electrical
equipment installed higher than
1,000 mm above the oor must be
permitted for use at 125 °C (marking
T125).
• The recommended cross-section
of the connection cable grooves is
given in Table 1 (see pages 10–11).
NB! The sauna climate device may only be
connected by a professional electrician in
accordance with the applicable regulations!
Optional !
Connecting the fan
directly from the
electric panel if
adjustment from
the control panel is
not recommended.

INSTALLING AND
REPLACING THE
HEATING ELEMENTS
The heating elements are connected to the
device via screw terminals. It is necessary
to disconnect the screw terminals before
removing the heating elements.
ELECTRIC HEATER
INSULATION RESISTANCE
During the nal inspection of the electri-
cal installation, a leakage may be detected
when measuring the insulation resistance
of the sauna climate device, and which has
occurred due to the insulation material of
the heating elements absorbing moisture
from the air (storage, transport). After a few
uses of the sauna climate device, this mois-
ture will disappear.
NB! Do not connect the heater to the
mains via a residual-current device!
