SAUNA ASSEMBLY
The following pictures are for your reference. The dISCOVER and eMPOWER
models have additional steps. Please review before assembling your sauna.
1. INSTALLING THE FEET
Install screw through wooden feet into designated holes on the bottom of the
oorpanel. The small feet go towards the back of the sauna (back side has the
power box).
2. PLACING THE FLOOR PANEL
Placeoorpanelonasmoothatsurface.Ventopeningandstickersindicate
back side of sauna base. Before proceeding, double check that the base
locationisinitsnalposition.Makesurethebaseisleveltoavoidanyparts
becoming misaligned (shims can be placed under furniture feet if surface is
not level). Leave enough room around your sauna to plug in the power cord
(located on back left side) and for any maintenance once it is assembled.
Remove power control covers before proceeding to next step. After connections
are made and sauna powers on properly, screw covers back in place.
* Eucalyptus models have a solid wood oor; no oor heater included.
* Make a note of the serial number for keypad setup and future use - see page 6.

WARNING:
Heater grate must be installed prior to
steppingontheoor.

3. PLACE THE BACK PANEL
Begin by removing the small wooden wiring covers at the bottom of each panel
before you assemble the wall panels.
(A) Place the back panel into the groove in base. Center its location with the
raisedareaoninterioroor.Onepersonshouldholdthewallwhiletheother
person continues to the next step.
4. CONNECTING THE RIGHT SIDE PANEL
While the rear panel is being held in position, place the right panel into the
grooved base and gently raise into position. The magnet system and wooden
dowels will help to pull the panels together.
(B) Place the C shaped piece of stainless steel (C clip) into the groove on top of
the panels to further hold them together. Once the C clip is installed correctly,
you can let go of the panels.
B
NOTE: You may want to remove the heater covers prior to installing wall panels to keep
them from falling out as the walls are being moved. REMEMBER THE CORRECT
LOCATION TO REATTACH.
A

10
Pay careful attention to the power
cords, making sure they are safely out
of the way.
(C) Place C clips into grooves on top
panels to secure the walls together.
C
5. CONNECTING THE FRONT PANEL
Place the front panel into the groove on the front of the base. DO NOT lift by
the thin horizontal pieces that become the top and bottom of the door frame.
D
6. CONNECT THE LEFT SIDE PANEL
Place the left panel into the grooved base at a slight angle and gradually
bring to vertical position until magnets click into place - making sure you
do not hold on to glass when doing so.
(D) Once wall is in place, place
C clips into the two remaining
grooves on the panels’ top
corners.

11
7. MAKE THE HEATER CONNECTIONS
Remove small covers at the bottom of each wall (leave off until last step). Make
all connections for all four walls (each wall will have three heater connections,
front wall will have three additional connections). Match connectors by color
and check that each connection is secure.

manual at this time: www.sunlighten.com/customer-care
First,removethemagneticheatercoversonthesideandbackwallstoinstallthebench.
Then slide the bench onto side rails until it sits in the grooves. Be careful not to
scratch the heaters or NIR light arrays while installing the bench. Replace heater
covers.
Additional steps for dISCOVER and eMPOWER models on next page.
8. SECURE THE TERMINAL BLOCK POWER CORD
Remove the clear plastic cover over the terminal screw
junction. Manually tighten all the screw ports that have
wires as tight as possible.

12
10. PLACE THE ROOF PANEL
*If you purchsed the Chromotherapy accessory, refer to Chromotherapy manual at
this time: www.sunlighten.com/customer-care
Before putting the roof in place, ensure wires are accessible from the top of
the front wall (3 wires should be visible). Using a screwdriver or drill, remove
front right dust cover on top of the roof to access light connections. **The dust
coversdonothavetobere-boltedoncethesaunainitsnallocation.
Lower the roof panel onto the assembled sides. Theroofgroovesshouldtover
the wall panels. The side with the speakers and lights should be facing down,
and speakers should be over the bench. Make sure the electrical connections in
the roof do not get pinched between roof and walls during installation.
With roof securely in place, one
person will hold up the front of the
roof while the the other feeds through
the wires (2-pin connector and a screw
type barrel connector) to the top of
the unit.
Pair antenna eyelet wire to the
telesocpic antenna, remove the
middle screw on the antenna for
pairing.

Make speaker and light connections.
Replace dust covers on top of the roof
panel.
ADDITIONAL STEPS FOR DISCOVER: Install longer full frame bench against the wall
oppositetothecontrolpanel.Thesecondbenchinterlockswiththerstbench.
ADDITIONAL STEPS FOR EMPOWER: - First install the bench along the back wall of
the sauna (the largest bench section). Next install the smaller interlocking right wall
bench. The left wall bench will be installed in a similar manner to the right wall bench.
Finally the L-Bracket support arm should be placed under the bench (L-Bracket is
shipped in its own box). Using the hex key tighten the bolts through the support and
fasten the support to the wall.

13. CONGRATULATIONS!
Your sauna is ready for use! Please refer to the operating instructions to get
started.
The sauna should be on a true dedicated circuit that runs from the wall
outlet to the breaker box with its own switch in the breaker box and nothing else
on that line. Plugging your sauna into your wall outlet with any other electrical
device is not a true dedicated outlet and will hinder the sauna’s ability to warm up
properly.
Turn sauna on and test wall heaters (see operating instructions on next
page) to ensure each one is warming up after a couple of minutes. If a
heater is not warming up, refer to step 7 to check connections.
