Operation with vaporizer
(only for Bi-O / Vapor heaters)
Please clean the vaporizer in advance be-
fore the fi rst use.
The control of the vaporizer is managed by the
control unit. The humidity level is controlled eit-
her proportionally (time basis) or in the case a hu-
midity sensor is connected it is controlled basing
on the relative humidity value.
Please note that the relative humidity varies gre-
atly due to the varying temperature distribution
in the cabin. The readings of the hygrometer and
the readings at the control unit can for that rea-
son be very diff erent.
Make sure that suffi
cient water is in the water
tank of the vaporizer before use.
Never add essences, oils or herbs directly to
the water tank; instead add these to the herbal
bowl on the holder of the vaporizer.
The volatile oils released from essences are car-
ried with the hot rising steam and will be distri-
buted throughout the cabin.
In the case of the low water level in the water tank
during operation a buzzing signal indicates the
water shortage. To continue your sauna session,
you have to refi ll the tank after a 5 minutes stop
of the sauna control or after switching to Finnish
(dry) sauna for 5 minutes.
The heating element in the vaporizer must cool
down for 5 minutes before cold water is refi lled.
Never pour water on the glowing heating
elements. Besides of the danger of scald, the
heating elment could be damaged. Fill in the
water up to the upper water level marking.
Add herbs and essences to the herbal
bowl only.
Do not
pour essences into the va-
porizer tank!
By adding essences or any other addi-
tives for air humidity, a health hazard cannot
be removed. It is advised not to use those ad-
ditives apart from the recommended ones
by the manufacturer of the oven.
If additives are put in the water, this generally
leads to a foaming of the water. In this case the
water must be drained and the interior of the
cold reservoir washed out with a cloth soaked
in alcohol or mineral spirits. Even small rema-
inders of essences in the vaporizer will change
the natural molecular structure of the water.
Attention: Risk of scalding at the steam
outlet. Essences and herbs are to be placed
in the herb dish only.
Caution by control units with after-he-
ating mode! Never leave herbal bags in the
herbal bowl during the after-heating mode
after a humid (steam) operation. These may
dry out rapidly in this case and a present a
fi re hazard! For fi re safety reasons only herbs
in perforated aluminium bags may be used.
De-scaling of the vaporizer
Consult your water company to determine the
hardness level of your water. In areas with hard-
ness level 1 (0-8,4° German hardness levels -
soft water), the system generally works without
special precautions and must be de-scaled only
occasionally when necessary.
Should your water lie within the hardness levels
2-3 (hard water), the vaporizer must be de-sca-
led regulary (in accordance with the hardness
level). Control the vaporizer on regular basis!
To descale the vaporizer add the de-scaling
liquid (descalers for household appliances are
generally suitable), which is suitable for alu-
minium, to the water in the vaporizer in accor-
dance with manufacturer´s instructions. Bring
the water and de-scaling product mixture to
a boil for about 10 minutes and allow to cool.
After cooling, drain the mixture from the vapo-
rizer and rinse at least twice with clear water.
Note also the instructions given by the de-sca-
ling product manufacturer.
