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 OF SAUNA HEATER
For ease of operation, the heater controls may be mounted on the front or
either side. If the controls are relocated, this should be done before
mounting the heater to the wall.
MOVING THE CONTROLS Lay the heater on its back: remove the control
knobs by pulling them straight off (See Item 1 on Diagram 3); unsnap the
plastic label plates from the left and right sides of the electrical enclosure
and remove the screws from the left and right sides of the electrical box
(See Item 2 on Diagram 3) and from the bottom cover of the box. Remove
the painted trim piece from the front of the box. Remove the bottom cover
by sliding it towards the back of the heater.
Remove the screws mounting the controls then carefully move the controls
to their new position. Reassemble in the reverse order using the original
hardware. Ensure that no wires are pulled loose, pinched, kinked, pulled
tight or otherwise damaged. Use the plastic label plates to cover the
unused control mounting positions.
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.
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.
