WARNING

Do not take a sauna if using

alcohol, drugs or

medications.

Pregnant women or persons

with poor health should

consult their physician before

using any sauna.

Caution re hazard: Do not

use the sauna room for

drying clothes, bathing suits,

etc. Do not hang towels

above heater or place any

object other than the rocks

supplied on the heater. If any

darkening of the wall around

the heater is noticed

discontinue sauna use

immediately.

Read all instructions carefully before installation. Please leave all
instructions and warranty with the owner.

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. All wiring must be performed in
accordance with national and local codes. See Diagram 2 for wire and
room size requirements. These heaters are oor mounted.

Inspect sauna regularly for

required maintenance to

heater, control and benches.

Replace wood surfaces

which show any signs of

deterioration.

The heater gets extremely hot

during operation and should

not be touched or burns may

result.

Minors should be adequately

supervised whenever near a

hot or warming sauna.

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.

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.

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.

SECTION 6: HEATER GUARD RAIL

Install a wooden heater guard to prevent the sauna bather from accidentally
touching the sauna heater. Install the heater guard rail with the dimensions shown
in Diagram 1.

SECTION 7: CONTROL INSTALLATION & OPERATION

INSTALLATION ROUGH IN: Place the control inside or outside the sauna room. If
the control is installed inside a sauna room, the top of the unit cannot be higher
than 48 inches above oor. Maximum control cable length is 50 feet.

String the provided low voltage control cable through 1” holes in the wall studs or
ceiling joists from the control location to the heater. Do not use staples to secure
the low voltage cable, it may damage the cable!

Plug the control cable into the control and TEST the control BEFORE mounting!!

After testing is complete, CLEAN the mounting surface to ensure it is free from
dust. Remove the adhesive tape from the back of the control, push any excess
cable into wall cavity and press the control to the mounting surface.

CONTROL OPTIONS: This heater has two different control options. A Premium
Control (1601-33 or 1601-33-1) or Trend Control (1601-31 or 1601-31-1) can
be connected to the heater. This heater can suppor t both at the same time as
another option.

WARNING

Do not locate benches over

heater. Refer to Diagram 1

for minimum clearance of

ceiling above heater is

required.

Minimum clearance from

heater to wooden surfaces

(benches, side walls, heater

fence etc.) is required. Refer

to Diagram 1 for specic

information.

Mounting brackets supplied.

Provides proper clearance

from wall behind heater.

Use only copper wire of the

size and type indicated in the

Heater Specication Chart

and the temperature rating

indicated on the heater

junction box.

All heaters and controls must

be grounded per NEC to

prevent electrical shock in

case of unit failure.

Electrical outlets or

receptacle must not be

installed in a sauna room.

A guardrail or fence is

required around the heater to

prevent burns from
accidental contact.
