Image 1 Recommended sauna room ventilation
1. Sauna room
3. Electric sauna heater
5. Exhaust flue or channel
2. Washroom
4. Exhaust valve
6. Door to the sauna room
7. A ventilation valve can be installed here to be kept closed while the sauna is heated and during bathing.
Inlet vent can be positioned in the A zone. Make sure the incoming fresh air will not interfere with (i.e. cool
down) the sauna heater's thermostat near the ceiling.
The B zone serves as the incoming air zone, if the sauna room isn't fitted with forced ventilation. In this case,
the exhaust valve is installed min 1m higher than the inlet valve.
DO NOT ISTALL INLET VALVE WITHIN ZONE C, IF THE SAUNA HEATER'S CONTROL THERMOSTAT IS
LOCATED AT THE SAME ZONE.
2.3 Heating the sauna
Before turning the sauna heater on, make sure the sauna room is suitable for taking a sauna bath. When
heated for the first time, the sauna heater may emit some odour. If you detect any odour while the sauna
heater warms up, disconnect the sauna heater briefly, and air the room. Then turn the sauna heater back on.
The sauna heater is turned on by twisting the timer knob, and the temperature is adjusted from the thermostat
knob.
You should turn the sauna heater on roughly an hour before you plan to take a sauna bath, so that the stones
have time to heat up properly and the air warms up evenly in the sauna room.
Do not put any objects on the sauna heater. Do not dry clothes on the sauna heater or anywhere in its
vicinity.
