SECTION 2: MOUNTING OF SAUNA HEATER
HANGING THE HEATER Using the template provided, drill four 9/64" holes
to fasten the heater to the wall. Install two ¼" x 1 ½" hex head lag screws
(supplied with the heater) into the upper two holes. Tighten these screws
until their heads are about 1/8" from the wall surface. The screws must be
threaded through the wall into a framing member or backing board to
support the heater weight. Hang the heater on the two upper screws.
Locate the two ¼" x 1" hex head lag screws (supplied with the heater) then
install them into the two lower mounting holes. Tighten to lock the heater in
place. See Diagram 1 for the heater location details and the necessary
clearances to combustible materials.
SECTION 3: PLACING OF ROCKS (SEE DIAGRAM #10)
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. Carefully 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 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.
Remove the screws from the left and right sides of the electrical box.

SECTION 10: WARNING PLACARDS
Two metal placards are included in the Installation Instruction Envelope
packaged with every Sauna Heater. The CAUTION placard must be attached
to the interior wall of the sauna room directly above the heater where it is
visible to the bather. The WARNING placard must be attached to the door of
the sauna room.
SECTION 11: ROOM CONSTRUCTION
For safety and reliability, the following rules must be addressed.
• No permanent locking or latch system is to be used on the sauna door. •
Acceptable door ttings are: magnetic catches, friction catches, spring
or gravity loaded closures. The door must always open outwards.
• No shower may be installed in a sauna room.
• No electrical receptacle shall be installed inside the sauna room.
• The enclosed WARNING: Reduce the risk of overheating … warning
plate must be mounted on or alongside the door outside the sauna room
at about eye level.
• The enclosed CAUTION: Reduce the risk of re … caution plate must be
mounted on the interior wall above the heater.
• The heater should not be operated without its container properly lled
with rocks and the rock guard in place.
• If an intercom speaker is installed, it should be away from the heater and
as close to the oor as possible.
• If a room light is installed, it should be a surface mounted bracket type.
Wall mounted lights should be about 70" above the oor. Ceiling
mounted lights should be of an approved type with a junction box that is
remote to the xture itself. Use only a xture that uses A.F. or xture
type internal wiring. A 60 watt bulb should provide sufcient lighting.
• Fire sprinkler systems installed inside any sauna room should be
properly rated for sauna room temperatures.
• Always mount the heater according to these installation instructions.
SECTION 12: VENTILATION
WARNING
The "CAUTION" and
"WARNING" placards must be
mounted in accordance with
Section 10.
For safety purpose sauna
door must open out and not
lock.
Never use a wood stain, seal
or preservative on the inside
of your sauna room.
Light xtures get very hot
during operation. Locate
light xture where it will not
be a burn hazard.
VENTILATION In a sauna, the air should be changed about 6 times an hour.
This can be achieved by making a vent opening (fresh air inlet) in the sauna
wall directly below the heater. The air outlet must be lower than the upper
benches, as far as possible from the heater and about two feet higher than
the fresh air inlet vent, See Diagram 9. It is recommended that ventilation
openings meet the requirements of UL Specication 875. The minimum
opening should be determined using one of the following formulas:
For R< 31, V ³ 9.3, For R ³ 31, V ³ 0.3R
where R = the oor area of the room in square feet and
V = the minimum vent size in square inches

INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Page 11
SECTION 13: MAINTENANCE
The sauna, like a bathroom, should be kept clean and odor free.
Towels or mats should always be used on benches and oor as perspiration otherwise penetrates the soft wood.
Air out the sauna often by keeping the door and vents open when the sauna is not in use. Saunas that are in daily
use should be washed down at least once a week to keep them clean and the air fresh. Duckboard should be
removed from the sauna, the sauna oor mopped and dried in a conventional manner, and the duckboard thoroughly
scrubbed and dried before returning to the sauna room. The sauna heater should be wiped down occasionally with a
damp cloth to remove lint and dust. The rocks should be removed once a year for cleaning and small or crumbled
rocks replaced.
To clean and remove perspiration stains, use soap or detergent in warm water, best applied with a scrub brush.
Badly soiled surfaces may require sanding. Sand paper wrapped around a wooden block works well.
Benches and supporting structure must be inspected annually for potential deterioration due to age, dry rot or abuse.
Any boards with signs of deteriorations should be replaced immediately to avoid possible injury.
SECTION 14: TROUBLESHOOTING
Control will Run but No Heat - Press (reset) the high limit switch on the bottom of heater.
Slow Heat Time or High Limit Tripping - Check rock placement, they will break down over time and reduce the air
ow in the heater. Refer to Diagram 10 for proper rock installation. Discard all rocks under the size of 2" peices. Call
the number below to order more rocks if needed.
For troubleshooting or service questions call 1-888-780-4427 and ask to speak with service. Prior to calling, please
have the Model and Type number available. You may also email us at
