9. Testing and Operation
9.1. Testing
i. After checking that the sauna heater installation is correct, put the sauna stone in place (note
we recommend washing the stones thoroughly in water to remove any dust before the rst
use). Put the larger stones at the bottom and smaller stones on top. Take care not to pack the
stones too tightly other wise the air will not be able to circulate around the elements which can
cause premature failure, but do make sure to cover the elements completely. Note that it will
be necessary to change the stones from time to time as they will gradually crumble with use.
For commercial users this is probably every year, for domestic users once every several years,
depending upon use.
ii. Before connecting to the power supply check the sauna heater and make sure there are
no ammable items on or around the heater, please note that on the rst use the elements
and stones may smoke slightly and give o a smell – please ensure the sauna cabin is well
ventilated.
iii. Connect to power supply, press “ON/OFF “, temp and time windows will display data, LED
shows the sauna’s heating status when the light is on, the temperature of sauna room will rise
and will achieve the preset temperature (the default settings are 75 oC/187oF, work time is 2
hours) see chart on the following page.
iv. When the time has nished counting down and the time window displays “0”, the controller
and heater will shut down automatically.
v. The sauna heater has a sequential heating function so that the heater can work economically.
When the heater is rst turned on all the elements will work together to reach the target
temperature, when the target is reached one element will be left working to keep the
target temperature constant (for OCS30, OCS40 ,one bank will stop ). When sauna room
temperature goes 2oC/ 4 oF above the target temperature all heat elements will stop. When
the temperature of the sauna goes below the target temperature, one bank heat element
will work again, when the temperature goes 2oC/ 4 oF below the target temperature, all heat
elements will work again.
vi. Light button: Turns sauna light on/o
vii. Use temperature switch button to change the temperature display between centigrade and
Fahrenheit
viii. The Controller has a timing device so you can set a time when you want the heater to power
up, this can be set from 0~12 hours as shown in the chart below. When the controller is in
B Mode (Timer mode) the heater can’t operate, but when B Mode reaches “0” or the “Mode
Button” is pressed the heating function will start (A Mode).

9.2. Setting time and temperature:
The default settings for temperature are: 75oC/187oF. For preset operation time: 2 hours. These can
be adjusted easily, if the electricity supply is lost the controller will return to default settings.
• When the sauna is turned on the time settings will work under A mode (A mode LED is on),
the time window will display the last time that was set. Press” SET” key the time display window
will ash. press “p ” or “q ” to adjust the time, every press the time will increase or reduce 10
minutes. once the desired setting is reached press “ MENU/ENTER” the window will stop ashing.
You can adjust from the time from 10 minutes to 8 hours. Note the controller has a memory
function, if the power supply is not cut o the next time you turn on steam generator the time you
selected will be the default time.
• To set your heater to come on at a certain time (for example: if you plan to watch a lm and
want the sauna to start heating up half way through so its ready at the end of the lm) you can
use the B mode setting which can be set if you press the “MENU/ENTER”” and the time window
will display 4:00, now Press” SET” key the time display window will ash. press “p ” or “q ” to
adjust the time, every press the time will increase or reduce 10 minutes. once the desired setting is
reached press “MENU/ENTER ” the window will stop ashing., when it reaches “0” it will switch over
to A Mode and the heater will turn on. (Remember to set the time you want the heater on for on A
Mode before setting B Mode)
• For quick time adjustment: hold the “p ” or “q ” and it will count continuously up or
down, when it reaches the time you want release and it will stop.
• Temperature: switch button you can switch between centigrade and Fahrenheit.
• To adjust temperature: Press “SET ” once after you nish setting the time or otherwise
twice the temperature window will ash, enter the required temperature by pressing “p ” or “q
” to adjust - every press will increase or reduce 1OCor 2OF.you can adjust from 50oC-110oC 122oF230oF once the required temperature has been set press “ MENU/ENTER” key the window will stop
ashing.
9.3. Door Interlock
When used in commercial situations such as public buildings where the countdown timer is set to come on
in advance a door interlock switch must be connected as described in the circuit diagram on page 6 7 and
14. Before B mode can be activated the sauna room must be checked by the responsible person to ensure
there is no hazard such as combustible material left over the sauna stove etc – then the sauna cabin door
must be closed before the setting can be made. Once the advance timer begins the countdown sequence
the timing will stop if the door is opened and will not restart again until it is reset.

Sauna Heater Manual
11. Maintenance
We recommend that you inspect the sauna heater on a regular basis for any signs of deterioration
of the condition, pay particular attention to both the fastenings, the condition of the wiring and the
electrical elements.
Note if the rocks have started to crumble this can cause the elements to overheat and they should be
changed for new rocks. We recommend commercial operators to change the rocks at least once very
12 months.
11.1. Sauna Heaters & Sauna Cabins Maintenance
All Sauna products supplied by Direct Saunas Limited and Oceanic Saunas are for use in an indoor
environment such as a domestic house or a club building and should not be used in any other
circumstances.
11.2. Sauna Maintenance
Dependant upon how regularly the sauna cabin is being used a series of maintenance checks should
be performed on the sauna cabin and sauna heater to ensure that they are kept in a good state of
repair.
For commercial users we recommend these inspections be conducted on a monthly basis by a
member of the maintenance sta and detailed records kept.
For domestic use these checks should be carried out every 6 months.
Any obvious deterioration should be noted immediately if noticed in between maintenance checks
and should be resolved before continuing use of the products.
Under no circumstances do we recommend operating the sauna cabin if any electrical wiring
is considered to be hazardous, please contact your electrician or our technical department for
assistance.
11.3. Maintenance Checks
Please note all maintenance checks should be preformed whilst the sauna cabin and sauna heater
are cold.
11.4. Sauna Heater:
Ensure the heater has been correctly disconnected from the mains electricity before these checks are
conducted
1) Check sauna elements for signs of deterioration. Report any signs of deterioration to the
supplier
2) Make sure all rocks are placed correctly onto the heater elements to ensure an adequate
airow around the elements. Note that the rocks will gradually crumble and settle around the
elements which can then cause overheating, this may lead to early failure or even melting of the
elements.
For commercial operators an electrician must periodically inspect and ensure all the wiring is in a
good condition and all connections are good and tight – a good idea would be to have this carried
out annually as for PAT testing.

v. Ensure the timbers surrounding the heater have not become charred. Any oending timber
slats should be replaced in a reasonable time period.

the sauna heater manual. Check for any signs of charring and replace the heater guard if it is
showing signs of disrepair.
vii. The sauna cabin should be kept in a clean and hygienic state at all times. It is recommended
that the benches in the sauna are wiped down with a weak solution of disinfectant and water
after each use we especially recommend this in commercial divisions. The oor in the sauna
should be mopped regularly.
12. Warranty & After Sales
All Oceanic Sauna Heaters are guaranteed for 12 months from the date of purchase against faulty
materials or workmanship. The guarantee excludes consumable items such as the electrical
elements and faults arising from misuse or abuse of the appliance.
Elements last for 2500 hours, after this time has passed you should be expecting to buy new ones,
premature failure can be caused by:
- A half lled rock basket.
- Rocks forced against elements from bad lling
- Customers throwing large amounts of water over the rocks, for heavy duty places we
recommend screwing the bucket to the bench this prevents this from happening.
- Incorrectly wired heater.
For warranty claims and after sales service outside or the guarantee please contact your local
Oceanic dealer.
