6.2 Sauna stones
Sauna stones are a product of nature. Sauna stones must be replenished or
reshuffled depending on the intensity of use.
The process of heating and cooling can make the stones brittle. Particular
damage to the sauna stones can be caused by aggressive sauna essences,
causing them to disintegrate over time. Small particles can break off from
the stones. The gaps between the stones also become smaller which
means that hot air can no longer rise between the stones.
Check the sauna stones regularly and reshuffle them or replace them as
needed. Observe the following periods of time:
Use only natural sauna stones when you refill the rock store. Due to their
roughness, they produce a better water splash effect than ceramic sauna
stones.
Replacing sauna stones

CAUTION! Caution: stones may be hot. Allow the stones to cool for at
least 45 minutes before you remove the old stones.
Remove each stone individually.
2
Check each stone for damage.
Sort out any stones with severe damage.

Rinse all stones with cold water.

Stack the stones loosely in the rock store leaving sufficient space be-

There must be enough space between the stones so that convection
air can circulate sufficiently between them.
