abnormally high level.

The control will display "HL".

To restart the heater, let the heater cool, then
push the "On/Off" button on the control. If the high limit continually shuts
off the heater, contact a service representative at 1-888-780-4427.

• Remove clothing and jewelry...if required, wear a towel loosely.

• After 10 minutes or when perspiration begins, leave sauna and relax in

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 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.

SECTION 14: MAINTENANCE

The sauna, like a bathroom, should be kept clean and odor free.
Towels or mats should always be used on benches and floor 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 f

loor 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 15: TROUBLESHOOTING

If control displays "SN" it means no sensor is connected. Refer to Section 5 for sensor installation information.
If control displays "HL" it means the high limit is open. Re fer to Section 9 for high limit information.
For troubleshooting or service questions call 1-888-780-4427 and ask to speak with service. Prior to calling, please

have the Model and Type number available.You may also email us at [e-mail]
