WARNING
Prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures is capable of inducing hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6°F. The symptoms of hyperthermia include an increase in the normal temperature of the body, dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness, and fainting. The effects of the hyperthermia include failure to perceive heat, failure to recognize the need to exit the room, unawareness of impending hazard, fetal damage in pregnant women, physical inability to exit the room and unconsciousness.
WARNING
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication is capable of greatly increasing the risk of fatal hyperthermia.
SECTION 1: GENERAL INFORMATION
These heaters are ETL approved by Intertek for permanent installations and electrical connections. Built with splash proof construction, the conducting parts are protected against water.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SECTION 2: MOUNTING OF SAUNA HEATER
-NOTE: Complete electrical connections and test the heater prior to this step.
Attach wall bracket to any of the mounting holes located on either side of the spine on the rear of the heater shroud (reference diagram 4). Slide heater into position, according to dimensions shown in Diagram 1 and mark locations for the two mounting screws. Slide heater forward and screw two 1/4” x 1” lag bolts into sauna wall at locations marked earlier, leaving approximately 1/8” of bolt shoulder exposed so bracket can easily slide over bolt heads. Re-locate heater into position with key-holes of bracket locking onto lag bolts. Adjust the leveling feet to ensure that the heater is vertical. Use a level on two sides of heater to verify plumb.
If mounting heater in center of room, use same procedure described above but locate mounting bracket so that it can attach to the bench framing that surrounds the heater.
SECTION 3: PLACING OF ROCKS (SEE DIAGRAMS #10 and 11)
The rocks supplied have been chosen to provide the best heater performance. Use of any other type of rock may void the heaters warranty. Never operate the heater without rocks in place! Rinse the rocks with water before placing in the heater.
Install the BWT (Bio Water Technique) tank between the second and third heating elements resting on the top of the elements. (See diagram 11) The BWT tank has slots in the outer ange that will align with the element loops. Install the BWT cover and the round herb cup.
Start inserting rocks into the heater in even layers so that the 3 heating elements remain as vertical and evenly spaced as possible. Continue to randomly drop rocks into the heater until you are even with the top of the heating coils. Add one more loose layer to cover up the elements and top of the BWT. (Do Not Cover Up the round herb cub on top of the BWT!) The rocks must fully cover the heating elements. Attach the guard with the screws provided. See Diagram #10 & 11 for rock placement.
Packing the rocks too tightly may cause the heater high limit switch to trip.
SECTION 4: ELECTRICAL HOOK-UP
Electrical installation must be made by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local regulations.
- NOTE: A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt) device is not required by ETL. A GFCI may be installed if required by local codes but will nuisance trip during use of the product. - CAUTION: Loose wire connections can cause heat damage to wires, terminal blocks and other components and may void the warranty.
Remove the screws from the left and right sides of the electrical box. Remove the painted trim piece from the front of the box. Route the feed wires through the holes provided in the bottom of the heater and connect the wires to the terminal block. To determine the correct wire size, refer to Diagram 2. Use copper supply wire only, suitable for minimum 90 degrees C. The heater must be grounded! See Diagram 6 for proper connections.
SECTION 5: TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Feed the "low voltage" sensor wire from the sensor to the sauna heater location. Sensor wire must be routed completely separate (as per low voltage electrical wiring codes) from any wiring carrying over 50 volts. It may be necessary to drill holes to string the wire through the studs or ceiling joists. Route the wire to bottom of the heater and connect to the sensor connection. Mount sensor to nished wall 3" from the ceiling directly above the heater using two (2) screws (provided) as shown in diagrams 1, 3 & 5.
If mounting heater in the middle of your sauna room, locate the temperature sensor on the ceiling above the heater at a point directly above one outer edge of the sauna heater shroud. See Diagram 1.
WARNING
Fire sprinkler systems used inside any sauna room should be properly rated for sauna room temperatures.
Do not place hands and or arms over the BWT when hot. Steam from BWT
may cause severe burns.
Do not pour chlorinated pool or spa water on heater or in the BWT.
Excessive water use on heater may cause damage and void warranty.
Electric Shock Hazard - High voltage exists within this equipment. There are no user serviceable parts in this equipment. All installation and service to this equipment should be performed by quali ed licensed personnel in accordance with local and national codes.
Do not construct sauna room so as to restrict air ow through the bottom of the heater.
Packing the rocks too tightly may cause the heater high limit switch to trip.
