The stones disintegrate with use.
Therefore, they should be rearranged at
least once a year or even more often if the
sauna is in frequent use. At the same time,
any pieces of stone should be removed
from the bottom of the heater, and
disintegrated stones should be replaced
with new ones.
The guarantee does not cover any
faults caused by the use of stones not
recommended by the manufacturer.
Neither does the guarantee cover any
faults caused by disintegrated or too small
stones blocking the heater ventilation.
No such objects or devices should be
placed inside the heater stone space or
near the heater that could change the
amount or direction of the air flowing
through the heater, thus causing the
resistance temperature to rise too high,
which may set the wall surfaces on fire!
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
PILING OF THE SAUNA STONES
The sauna stones for an electric heater
should be 2 - 4” in diameter. The heater
stones should be solid blocks of stone
specially intended for use in the heater.
Neither light, porous ceramic “stones” of
the same size nor soft potstones should
be used in the heater, because they may
cause the resistance temperature to rise
too high as a result of which the resistance
may be broken.
Stone dust should be washed off before
piling the stones. The stones should be
piled into the stone compartment over the
grating, between the heating elements
(resistances) so that the stones support
each other. The weight of the stones
should not lie on the heating elements.
The stones should not be piled too tightly,
so that air can flow through the heater.
See figure 1. The stones should be fitted
loosely, and not wedged between the
heating elements, very small stones
should not be put into the heater at all.
The stones should completely cover the
heating elements. However, they should
not form a high pile on the elements.
