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.

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 fire 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.

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.

WARNING
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication is capable of greatly increasing
the risk of fatal hyperthermia.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

SECTION 2: MOUNTING OF SAUNA HEATER

Carefully locate the heater according to the dimensions shown in Diagram 1
and bolt it to the floor. (Bolts are not supplied with the heater.) Tighten to
secure the heater in place.

SECTION 3: PLACING OF ROCKS

The rocks supplied with the heater 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. Place the larger rocks at the bottom
and the smallest at the top. Place the rocks loosely so that the air can
circulate through the heater. Packing the rocks too tightly may cause the
heater high limit switch to trip. The rocks must fully cover the heating
elements. Attach the rock guard with the screws provided.

SECTION 4: ELECTRICAL HOOK-UP

Electrical installation must be made by a licensed electrician in accordance
with the National Electrical Code and local regulations.

This heater is intended for use with 19-8... controls only. Use of any other
control type will void the warranty and UL listing. The control panel and
contactor box must be installed in a dry location outside the sauna room.
The control panel must be located to allow installation of the thermostat's
temperature sensor shown in Diagram 1. The sensor wire supplied is 9 feet,
but it may be extended at the control end with 2 conductor wire.

The model 1201-7-3 contactor box is required for use with a three phase
heater, the model 1201-7-1 contactor box is required for use with a single
phase heater. 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 the heater and control wiring diagrams for proper
connections.

SECTION 5: TEMPERATURE SENSOR

Feed the sensor wire from the control to the sensor location. It may be
necessary to drill holes to string the wire through the studs or ceiling joists.
Route wires into control box and connect to terminals #2 and #3 at the
thermostat terminal block. Using a flat tip screwdriver, unsnap sensor
cover from sensor. Mount sensor horizontally to the finished wall directly
above heater one & a half (1½) inches down from ceiling 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 pour chlorinated pool

or spa water on heater.

Excessive water use on heater

may cause damage and void

warranty.

Do not install a shower in

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

qualified licensed personnel in

accordance with local and

national codes.

Do not construct sauna room

so as to restrict air flow

through the bottom of the

heater.

Packing the rocks too tightly

may cause the heater high

limit switch to trip.

SECTION 6: HEATER SCREEN (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 height
clearances and dimensions shown in Diagram 1.
