Troubleshooting 

 

If the sauna room does not heat up, check that: 

 

 

The power is on and the circuit breakers are in working condition and are the correct size. 

 

The timer is set to the operating range. 

 

The temperature is set in a controller to a higher temperature than the temperature in the sauna 

room. 

 

The fuses are intact. 

 

The temperature restrictor (overheat protector) has not gone off. If temperature restrictor has 

gone off, the reason for this must be solved before using heater again. 

 

The stones are piled correctly, not too tightly packed. 

 

Check that all heating elements glow when the heater is on. 

 

Check that the heater output is sufficient 

(Page 13: Model table)

 

 

Check that the sauna room ventilation has been arranged correctly. 

 

 

If the sauna heats up but the stones not (= water goes through without generating steam)  

 

• Turn the temperature lower from the controller  

• Check that the heater output is not too high 

(Page 13: Model table)

  

• Check that the heater output is not too high 

(Page 13: Model table)

 

• Check that the sauna room ventilation has been arranged correctly  

 

 

If the wood panel starts to darken around the heater 

 

Check that the requirements for safety distances 

(Page 12)

 are fulfilled. 

Too tightly piled stones and the settling of stones or wrong stone type can stop the smooth air flow through 

the heater. This might cause the overheating of surrounding materials. Check also that heating elements 

cannot be seen through the stones. If heating elements are visible, rearrange the stones immediately 

without further using the heater.

 

 

Other problems 

 

If the heater makes noise, this can be caused by stones breaking due to heat and the thermal expansion of 

heater parts. This noise may be evident when the heater warms up.
