INSTRUCTION MANUAL: Kirami FinVision sauna 

Installing Narvi® electric heater 

 

The Narvi

®

 electric heater

 has already been attached to 

the sauna in the factory. In order to use the sauna heater, 
electricity must be connected to the sauna separately. The 
end customer is responsible for connecting the sauna to 
electricity. Only a qualified electrician can carry out the final 
installation of an electric sauna heater. Electrician refers to a 
person authorised to carry out electrical work or someone 
working under the supervision of such a person. The valid 
electrical safety regulations must be taken into account in 
installing the sauna heater. In unclear cases, ask the local fire 
or building authority for further instructions. 

After installing the heater, put the sauna heater stones in 
place. Placing the number of stones recommended in the 
instructions into the sauna heater guarantees a better sauna 
bath. For example, if an electric sauna heater only has a small 
number of stones, the heater’s resistors may break. See the 
manual included in the sauna heater package for more detailed instructions. 

 

 

Using an electric sauna heater 

THE SAUNA HEATER MUST NOT BE USED WITHOUT STONES. IF THE SPACE RESERVED FOR 
STONES IS NOT FULL, IT WILL CAUSE A FIRE HAZARD! 
 

Always check the sauna room before turning the sauna heater on. The sauna heater control switch 
is located in the front of the bottom part of the heater. 

 
General description  

- The sauna heater can be turned on and off by pressing the I/O button 
(toggle). 
- The SET button is used for setting the following parameters: Preset 
timing, power-on time and temperature. The settings are adjusted 
with the +/- buttons. During set-up, a LED flashes to indicate the 
parameter being set, with the respective value being displayed on the 
screen. 
- The power-on time and temperature settings remain in memory even 
after a short power outage. After a longer power outage, the times are 
reset to their default values. The preset timing will always be reset 
after use. 
- The On/Off LED is lit red whenever the heating elements are turned 
on; at all other times it is lit green. During the preset time, the On/Off 
LED is not lit.
