Timer
The sauna heater is controlled by multi-stage timer. The timer is set by twisting the knob clockwise
to desired setting. 1-3 refers to the run time(1, 2, or 3 hour duration).
Ÿ0 position. The sauna heater is off.
ŸOperating time 1–3 hours. To set, turn timer knob past "3", then turn back to desired duration.
Recommend run time is one hour. (You will hear contactor engage when turning back to the
"run zone"
ŸThe sauna heater will heat up at full power, controlled by the sauna thermostat temperature
setting.
ŸIf the switch has not traveled back to 0 position after finishing bathing, turn it to 0 manually
ŸPreset Start Time: 1–9 hours.
ŸTurn the timer to delay zone and select the delay time (in hours). Once the delay lapses, the
sauna will begin and 3 hour run cycle.
Thermostat
The thermostat knob is next to the timer knob. The further right (clockwise) the knob is switched,
the higher the temperature in the sauna room.
The best way to find your ideal temperature is to first turn the thermostat to maximum and let the
temperature rise to the desired temperature. Subsequently, turn the thermostat knob slowly
counter-clockwise until you hear a gentle clicking sound. If you want to re-adjust the temperature,
turn the thermostat gradually until the temperature is ideal. The thermostat has an integrated
temperature high limit with a reset button next to the top right of the thermostat knob.
The thermostat will not operate correctly if the stones are piled too densely or they are too small.
c. Loosely cover the tops of
all elements a minimum
of 2" to 3".
b. Rocks must be placed between the elements
and the wall of the rock compartment.
Incorrect Placement
of Rocks

SECTION 7: HIGH LIMIT CONTROL (RESET BUTTON)
SECTION 8: HOW TO TAKE A SAUNA
The sauna heater has a built-in high limit control, which automatically turns
off the heater if the temperature inside in the sauna room rises to an
abnormally high level. The reset button can be accessed next to thermostat.
To restart the heater, let the heater cool and turn the timer down to zero
(off), then push the reset button on the bottom of the heater. See Item 2 on
Diagram 2 and see graphic below.
If the high limit continually shuts off the heater, refer to the
"Troubleshooting" Section.
• When taking a sauna, allow time to relax completely.
• Remove clothing and jewelry...if required, wear a towel loosely.
• After 10 minutes or when perspiration begins, leave sauna and relax in
dressing area...follow with a cool shower.
• Cooling time should equal time spent in sauna. Enter sauna room again
and stay 5 or 10 minutes.
• Repeat the cycle 2 or 3 times; end with a brisk shower...rinse in cool
water.
• Dress when completely dry and perspiration has stopped.
• Some sauna bathers enjoy the soothing effect of steam by splashing
water on the heated sauna rocks. Use only one dipper full (approx. ½
cup) at a time and take care to keep clear of the steam as it rises off the
rocks.
• Do not smoke, exercise or drink alcoholic beverages in the sauna room.
• Do not pour chlorinated pool or spa water on the heater or corrosion
damage may result.

DIAGRAM 11: ROOM TEMPERATURES
Notes:
Temperatures vary in a sauna room by
height and distance from heater.
Ventilation will help reduce it but will not
eliminate temperature variations.
The hottest part of the room is always at
the ceiling directly above the sauna
heater and should not exceed 194°F
(90°C).
Air temperature will be 15°F (9°C) to
25°F (14°C) lower on the opposite side
of the room from the heater close to the
ceiling.
The temperatures in the elevated view
are general numbers. Each sauna room

SECTION 11: VENTILATION
SECTION 12: MAINTENANCE
VENTILATION In a sauna, the air should be changed about 6 times an hour. This can be achieved by making a vent
opening (fresh air inlet) in the sauna wall directly below the heater. The air outlet must opposite side of the room
high on the wall. See Diagram 9.
It is recommended that ventilation openings meet the following formulas. The minimum opening should be
determined using one of the following formulas:
For R< 31, V ³ 9.3
For R ³ 31, V ³ 0.3R
where R = the oor area of the room in square feet and
V = the minimum vent size in square inches
The sauna, like a bathroom, should be kept clean and odor free.
Towels or mats should always be used on benches and oor as perspiration otherwise penetrates the soft wood.
Air out the sauna often by keeping the door and vents open when the sauna is not in use. Saunas that are in daily
use should be washed down at least once a week to keep them clean and the air fresh. Duckboard should be
removed from the sauna, the sauna oor mopped and dried in a conventional manner, and the duckboard thoroughly
scrubbed and dried before returning to the sauna room. The sauna heater should be wiped down occasionally with a
damp cloth to remove lint and dust. The rocks should be removed once a year for cleaning and small or crumbled
rocks replaced.
To clean and remove perspiration stains, use soap or detergent in warm water, best applied with a scrub brush.
Badly soiled surfaces may require sanding. Sand paper wrapped around a wooden block works well.
Benches and supporting structure must be inspected annually for potential deterioration due to age, dry rot or
abuse. Any boards with signs of deteriorations should be replaced immediately to avoid possible injury.
SECTION 13: TROUBLESHOOTING
No Heat - Check timer, refer to Section 6 and Diagram 4 about timer operation.
No Heat - Press (reset) the high limit switch on the bottom of heater next to thermostat (Section 7).
Low Heat or Slow Heat Time or High Limit Tripping - Check rock placement, they will break down over time and
reduce the air ow in the heater. Refer to Diagram 10 for proper rock installation. Discard all rocks under the size of
2" pieces.
