Heating of the sauna
CAUTION!
Smoke and odor formation when heating up for the first time
Work materials from the manufacturing process will be present on the
new heating elements. These evaporate when the sauna heater is
heated up for the first 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
first 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 first time.

Select the highest possible temperature in the sauna control.
Heat up the sauna heater for half an hour. Do NOT stay in the sauna
cabin during this period.
Allow the sauna cabin to ventilate thoroughly after heating up for the
first time.
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.
Malfunctions
If heater doesn't work, check the following:
That the heater has been switched to operating time not to the presetting time.
Source of electricity to the heater has been switched on.
The heater's fuses in the household's main fuse box.
The overheat guard has been resetted if the heater has overheated earlier.

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 efficiently ventilated. If the output of the heater is proper it will take about an
hour to reach suitable temperature (Fig. 9). 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 flow into the stone holder. An underpowered heater, on the other hand, would lead to
an undesirably long heating period.
