4. Base

i. Lay out the 32 x 32mm base section as shown below with the correct 9mm spacings.
ii. Check the base drawing on the parts list supplied
iii. Check the base with a spirit level, you may need to use packers to get a level base.
iv. Use a set square or measure corner to corner with a tape measure to ensure the base is square.
v. To make the following stages easier we recommend that you x the base to the oor, this is

completely optional and is not required for the structural integrity of the cabin.

2. General

Important Notice: Unless you ordered a “low height wiring kit” it is not possible to install our Infra­Red Sauna Cabins with a height lower than 2200mm as the wiring is all done above the sauna.

Before you begin the assembly work we recommended that you read through these instructions
completely in order to familiarise yourself with the procedure.
Each model of sauna has it’s own dedicated parts list, make sure you locate this before continuing.

This sauna cabin is for indoor use only.

Infrared Saunas can be erected onto a level oor that can be vinyl, ceramic, concrete, or wood, but
preferably not carpet.

3. Requirements

You will require the following items:­i. The easiest and fastest way to trim this cabin is to use a brad nailer, electric, gas or air all are ok.

The brads we supply are straight 18 gauge 25mm and 40mm length. If you don’t have a nailer

you can pilot & screw or break the individual brads o the strips and use a hammer.
ii. A powered drill/screw driver with drill bits, PH2 and PZ2 driver bits
iii. 4mm drill and countersink tool
iv. Spirit level
v. Hammer
vi. Hand Saw or an electric mitre or cross cut saw is advised for cutting trim to give a professional

nish.
vii. Sand Paper
viii. Window packers or alternatively make some using cross cut saw from spare timber.
ix. Optional: - if it is possible to x the unit to the oor you will need a hammer drill and raw plugs

5. Fix Corner Panels

i. Find the oor plan in the parts list for the cabin you are building, this will indicate where each

panel needs to go.
i. Start by xing the corners together, pre drill 4 holes using a 4mm counter sink & drill.
ii. Fix using the 80mm screws provided

6. Add Door - Important: Wear goggles and gloves at all times whilst handling the door.

i. The door is the same size as the full sizes panels so it can be moved around in most cabins. We will show

the dierent ways to join the door with the panels in the following points.

ii. If you are working alone we advise that you remove the glass from the hinges and set to one side.

iii. To install the door as shown in the 2D image below (on the corner against the end of the side panel).

Firstly with 30mm screws evenly x the 4 at brackets down to the inside edge (30mm side) of the
door frame (hinge or handle side just rotate the frame 180

o

). Then x to the end of the side panel using

30mm screws. (see page 19 for trimming edge of panel and magnetic catch info)

7. Add Roof

i. If you are installing the cabin with a restricted height (less than 2200mm) and have purchased

the “Low Height Kit” you will be supplied with an additional guide for xing the roof.
ii. If you have a height of 2200mm or above please use the following steps.
iii. Start with the back roof panel, start from the corners to square up the wall panels, pilot and

counter sink holes and use 60mm screws, don’t screw near the cable holes.
iv. Fix the roof panels to each other in the centres check they are ush on the inside face.
v. When you x above the door use 50mm screws so they don’t stick through top of the frame or

countersink and screw from underneath.

vi. If you levelled and squared the base properly

the door should open perfectly at this stage. If it
doesn’t you may need to pack the base up, use
a spirit level to make things easier.

vii. Fix the other side of the door if you haven’t

already done this at the previous stage.

9. Audio Input (AUX)

i. The AUX input allows you to connect

any device that has a 3.5mm jack
output, for example an MP3 player,
smart phone or stereo. You could even
buy a portable bluetooth receiver so you
can connect wirelessly and play music
from you phone without the AUX cable
or MP3 Holder.

ii. To install the MP3 Holder use 2 x

40mm screws at the bottom, do not
overtighten as this will split the wood,
use a hand screw driver for the last few
rotations if you don’t have accurate
speed control of the drill. (Do not screw
in the centre of panels as this could go
through a wire)

iii. Drill diagonally with a 10mm bit at the

top of the panel above the MP3 Holder.

10. Bench Assembly

Important Safety Information.

The benches may have to support the body weight of several bathers. It is important that
they are correctly assembled; the holes for all screws must be predrilled to prevent the timber
splitting. To tighten the screws use a hand held screwdriver or an electrically operated one with
a torque setting that allows the screw to be fully tightened but not to spin as spinning reduces
the holding power of the screw.
Note the use of a good quality PVA adhesive (not supplied) will improve the durability of the
benches.

Maximum loadings;
Up to 1200 mm no centre support 2 x 12.5 stone people
Up to 1800 mm with 1 extra support 3 x 12.5 stones people

Before commencing the construction of the benches nd the specication sheet for the sauna
you are building. This will give detail of the correct quantities and positions of timbers and
xings.

i. Screw the supporting frame together using the 4 large brackets and 20mm screws.

iv. There is a channel cut out of the back of

the trim to hide the cable, pin the trim into
place, make sure you don’t x this trim
anywhere near the centre of panel as you
could pin into a cable.

23. Mini Steam Generator Operation

i. Once the mini steam generator has been installed correctly onto the wall and the power cable

connected to a 13amp socket the unit is ready to use.

ii. Turn the power on at the 13amp socket and press On/O button on the Mini Steam Generator

iii. Note that the LED C should be lit to show the tank is empty

iv. Fill the generator with water from above using a water jug until A is lit. Do not overll the genertor

as the water may start to spit out of the top when heating. If this occurs manually drain some
water out into a container using the drain valve a the bottom of the generator.

v. The generator should now start to heat the water and the ‘Heat’ LED should be lit

vi. You can adjust the amount of steam using the Power button to set the generator to 500W, 750W

or maximum power 1000W.

vii. Once the water level drops to C you can add more water to the generator. Be careful as the unit

will not be very hot.

viii. If you are adding aroma to the water this will alter the surface tension of the water and

may cause it to spit when boiling into steam. If this happens either reduce the amount of overall
liquid in the generator or reduce the amount of aroma in the water. Do not add neat aroma to the
tank, ensure the aroma is diluted. Oceanic aromas are to be diluted 1 part aroma to 20 parts water.
For every 1ltr of water only add a maximum of 50ml of aroma.

ix. Ensure you drain the steam generator after the end of your session.

24. Mini Steam Generator Maintenance

The single biggest problem with steam generation is the build up of scale resulting from
dissolved solids within the water. Scaling can cause the elements to fail, the water level sensors
not to function, premature failure of the O-rings resulting in leaks from around the elements. The
extent of the problem will vary according to the degree of hardness in the local water supply.
For all commercial operators we recommend the use of a water softener.
Expect 2500 hours element life, this can be serious depleted by poor maintenance.
All users must ensure a regular maintenance routine to descale the generator – the frequency
of this will vary according to the degree of hardness in the local water supply and the amount of
time the generator is used for. Check the water for hardness and arrange the descaling routine
accordingly: ­High levels of hardness descale once every 50 to 100 hours of operation.
Medium levels of hardness descale once every 100 to 250 hours operation.
Low levels of hardness descale once every 250 to 1000 hours of operation.
To descale the generator use a solution of weak acid crystals (such as citric acid) mixed with water
Citric acid can be purchased from: www.oceanic-saunas.co.uk

Descaling procedure

i. Fill the machine using a funnel with pre mixed citric acid

ii. Heat the machine for 2 minutes.

iii. Leave the machine for 4 hours minimum

iv. Drain using the valve at the base of the unit

v. Flush tank twice using cold water and the drain valve.

Follow the instruction supplied with the crystals and allow sucient time for the solution to
dissolve the scale before ushing out the generator. For best results add to water, steam for two
minutes then leave overnight. Empty the next days and ush twice using drain.
Faults arising from a result of a failure to descale the generator are not covered by warranty

25. Guarantee

All generators and heaters are guaranteed for 12 months for domestic and commercial use from
the date of purchase. This guarantee excludes consumable items such as the electrical elements
and failures resulting from misuse or abuse such as a failure to descale.
