Saunatonttu 2.4, 4.6, & 6.0 kW
Read all instructions carefully before installation. Please leave all instructions 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 2: MOUNTING SAUNA HEATER AND CONTROL
Carefully locate the heater according to the dimensions shown in Diagram 1.
The supplied mounting block and control must be located and mounted according to Diagram 1B. (This is to prevent the control from being placed in an unsafe location.)
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 heater’s warranty. Never operate the heater without rocks in place! Rinse the rocks with water before placing in the heater. Place the rocks loosely to keep the elements vertical and so 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.
SECTION 4: ELECTRICAL HOOK-UP
Electrical installation must be made by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local regulations.
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 wiring diagrams for proper connections.
Remove screws from the back cover to gain electrical access. Refer to Diagram 10.
SECTION 5: GUARD RAIL
To reduce the risk of injury (hot surface of sauna heater opening) install the heater guard rail with the clearances and dimensions shown in Diagram 1.
4211-86-G 09-23-05
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 the sauna room.
Electric Shock Hazard - High voltage exists within this equipment. There are no user serviceable parts in this equipment. All installa-
tion 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: THEORY of OPERATION
This heater is always ready and is designed to keep the rocks in the rock chamber hot at all times using a “Continuous Power” setting of 100 Watts, 200 Watts or 300 Watts. This amount of energy is stored and accumulates in the rocks while the lid is closed.
First time use or with rocks cold:
With the lid closed, turn the system on by pressing the Reset button on the control. Next press the upper “>” right arrow until the 60 minute indicator glows. The sauna heater will be close to operational temperatures in 1 hour. Refer to Diagram 4 for Control Discription.
Normal Use:
Rocks are hot and lid is closed. Open the lid to allow the energy to transfer into the room. Leave room and return in 5-10 minutes. The room temperature should be 125 F - 135 F. Now the sauna is ready to use.
Sprinkle the water on as desired to personal preferences of temperature and humidity. Wait a few seconds and add another ladle of water on rocks. The humidity in the air will rise and make the room feel hot. Continue to add water as desired. The room temperature will also rise. If air becomes uncomfortable, close the lid and this will remove the heat source.
This heater is designed to have the lid open for a maximum of 60 minutes for any sauna bath.
The steam is very hot and forceful. Please stay clear of opening while sprinkling water on the rocks.
After sauna bath, the lid should be closed to allow the Continuous Power to replenish the rock temperatures.
Tips: Continuous Power settings vs. time to replenish rock temperatures: Use sauna 4 - 5 times a week, set on 300 W
Use sauna 2 - 3 times a week, set on 200 W Use sauna 1 time a week, set on 100 W
Turn on Boost Power if lid will be open longer than 30 minutes during 1 session. This will keep rocks hot to create steam.
Note: Sauna temperatures are typically measured one foot from the ceiling. The Saunatonttu is designed to operate between 130 and 150 degrees F, although it can achieve higher temperatures if allowed to heat with the lid open for an hour.
Warning
Minimum clearance from heater to wooden surfaces (benches, side walls, heater fence etc.) is shown in diagram 1.
Use only copper wire of the size and type indicated in the Heater Specification 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 receptacles must not be installed in a sauna room.
A guardrail or fence is required around the heater to prevent burns from accidental contact.
Safety Locking Lid
Locking Pin
Safety Locking Lid:
On the right hand side of the lid, there is pin with a wood knob. To release the lock, pull out on wood pin. This will allow the lid to be moved. There are two locking positions, full open or closed.
