Wiring and repairs must be done by a certied electrician.
Follow the Minimum Safety Distances when mounting the heater
(see Fig.2)
The electronic and electric system should be mounted in a way so that
incoming air will not interfere with it. The control must be mounted
outside the sauna cabin.
If this sauna heater is used for public saunas or saunas that may be
switched on by a separate remote-control system/ the door of the sauna
room must be tted with an interlock such that the stand-by mode
setting for remote operation is disabled if the sauna door is opened
when the stand-by mode setting for remote operaton is set.
When positioning the sauna heater, observe the minimum safety
distances (see Fig. 2).
Observe the specications on volumes of the sauna cabin (see Fig.9).
Observe the specications on ventilation of the sauna cabin
(see Fig.8).

In most countries there is a law that requires heater to be screwed to the oor as indicated
in Fig.1A. Ensure that there is enough space for service and maintenance, see Fig.1B. To
avoid accidental contact with heater it is recommended to install Taurus heater guard. For
safety and convenience, follow the minimum safety distances as provided in Fig.2. Follow
the room volumes given in the Technical Data in page 15. Do not install more than one
heater in sauna room unless you follow the special instructions for tandem-heater instal-
lation.
A certied electrician must do the installation of the heater to ensure safety and reliabil-
ity. Improper electrical connections can cause electric shock or re. Refer to the electrical
diagram in page 7.
The cable must be HO7RN-F type or its equivalent. To connect the cable, open the
side of the heater where terminals are located (see Fig. 5). An electrical supply cable
must be connected to the terminal block through the strain reliever.
Twist to adjust height.

NOTE:
Heater Stones
Loading stones into the heater
The main purpose of the stones in the heater unit is to store enough energy to
efficiently vaporize the water thrown on top of the stones to maintain correct
humidity in the sauna room.The stones must be removed at least once a year or
every 500 hours which ever occurs first. All stone crumbles must be removed from
the heater unit and replaced with new ones as described in the heater manual.
The required amount of stones is also listed in the manual provided. See Fig.9.
NOTE! Heating element damage due to overheating caused by wrong
kind of stones or stones which were wrongly loaded into the heater is
not covered by the factory warranty.
It is recommended that all stones should be rinsed to remove any stains or dust
that can cause unpleasant odour during the first few times of using the heater. It is
important that the stones are loaded carefully in a way that they do not block air
circulation through the heater. Larger stones that won’t fit between the heating
elements must not be forced in place instead they must be completely removed.
Small crumble or stone pieces smaller than 35mm in diameter must not be
loaded into the heater because they will block the air circulation and will cause
overheating and possible heating element damage.
NOTE! Never use the heater without stones as it may cause fire. Use
only manufacturer recommended SaWo-stones. Using unsuitable
stones may lead to heating element damage and will void the warranty.
Never use ceramic stones or other artificial stones of any type!

CAUTION!
Smoke and odor formation when heating up for the rst timeWork materials from
the manufacturing process will be present on the new heating elements. These
evaporate when the sauna heater is heated up for the rst time. This produces
smoke and an unpleasant odor. Breathing in the fumes or smoke can be harmful to
your health.
Perform the following steps when operating the sauna heater for the rst time and
if the heating elements for the sauna heater have been changed. In this way you will
prevent damage to health due to the fumes and smoke produced when heating up
for the rst time.
1. Select the highest possible temperature in the sauna control.
2. Heat up the sauna heater for half an hour. DON’T stay in the sauna
3. Allow the sauna cabin to ventilate thoroughly after heating up for the rst time.
4. If no smoke or odor is produced the next time the sauna heater is heated up, you
can start to use the sauna. If smoke or odor is produced again, leave the sauna cabin
immediately and repeat the initial heating up process followed by ventilation.
Heating of the sauna
Always check the sauna room before switching sauna heater on (to be sure that
there is no combustible things within the safety distances of the heater or on the
heater). Make sure that sauna room has been eciently ventilated. If the output of
the heater is proper it will take about an hour to reach suitable temperature (Fig. 8).
The temperature in sauna room should be between +60 - + 90 °C, according to the
preference of user. Too powerful heater will heat sauna room too quickly and the
stones won't have enough time to warm. The water poured on the stones will not
evaporate, but ow into the stone holder. An underpowered heater, on the other
hand, would lead to an undesirably long heating period.
Fig. 7 LED lights indicate that the heater’s heating element
has been damaged and must be replaced.

Insulation
Air Ventilation
To have a soothing sauna, there should be a proper mixing of hot and cold air inside
the sauna room. Another reason for ventilation is to draw air around the heater and
move the heat to the farthest part of the sauna. The positioning of the inlet and outlet
vents may vary depending on the design of the sauna room or preference of the
owner.
The inlet vent may be installed on the wall directly below the heater (Fig. 8A). When
using the mechanical ventilation, inlet vent is placed at least 60 cm above the heater
(Fig. 8B) or on the ceiling above the heater (Fig. 8C). Through these positions, the
heavy cold air that is blown into the sauna is mixed with the light hot air from the
heater, bringing fresh air for the bathers. It is recommended that the inlet vent must
have a diameter of 5-10cm.
The outlet vent should be placed diagonally opposite to the inlet. It is recommended
that the outlet vent is placed under the platform in a sauna as far as possible from
the fresh air vent. It can be installed near the oor and stale air is or led outside
through a pipe to a vent in the sauna ceiling, or under the door (to the washroom).
In this case, the sill slot must be at least 5 cm and it is recommended that there is
mechanical ventilation in the washroom. The size of the exhaust should be twice
that of the inlet.
The sauna must have proper insulation on the walls, ceiling and door. One square
meter (m²) of uninsulated surface increases the cubic volume by approximately
1,2m³ when determining the power requirement of the heater. Refer to Technical
Data. Ensure that moisture proong is appropriate for the sauna room.The purpose
of this is to prevent spreading of moisture to the other rooms or wall structure.
Moisture proong must be placed between heating insulation and panel.Thermal
and moisture proong need to be installed according to the following order
from outside to inside.
•
•
•
•
The recommended minimum thickness of the thermal insulation in the walls is
50mm and in the ceiling 100 mm.
It is possible to use carton- or aluminum foil laminate as a vapor barrier, which is axed
over the insulation aluminum foil inwards.
Leave at least 20 mm air slot between vapor barrier and inside panel
To prevent gathering of the moisture behind the panel leave the slot between wall
panel and ceiling.
Do not place the sensors too close
to airvents.
Follow these minimum distances:
- Non-directional airvent: 1000mm
- Directional airvent: 500mm
