Installation and Operating Instructions Klapi
4. Sauna room
Protecting the floor
concrete floor without tiles
(A)
The heater can be installed directly on a concrete floor if the concrete slab thickness is a minimum of 60
mm. Make sure that there are no electrical wires or water pipes in the concrete cast under the heater.
combustible floor material
(B)
Protect the floor with a concrete slab that is 60 cm thick, at a minimum, and extends at least 300 mm
around the heater on the sides and in the rear (unless the heater is by a wall) and at least 400 mm to
the front of the heater door. Ensure the slab is slightly elevated from the floor surface in order to keep
the floor material dry.
tile floor
(C)
Floor glues and plasters and waterproofing materials used under the tiles do not withstand thermal
radiation emitted by the heater. Protect the floor with a fireplace safety pad or equivalent protection
against thermal radiation.

Sauna room ventilation
gravity ventilation
The fresh supply air is conducted to just above the floor level near the heater, and the exhaust air
exits as far as possible from the heater, near the ceiling. The heater circulates the air efficiently, so
the exhaust air opening is mainly tasked with removing moisture from the sauna after bathing. The
minimum diameter of the fresh supply air opening is 100 mm or equivalent.
Mechanical ventilation
The fresh supply air is conducted to approximately 500 mm above the heater and the exhaust air exits
near the floor, for example, under the benches. The minimum diameter of the fresh supply air opening
is 100 mm or equivalent.
Keeping the sauna room clean
We recommend that bench covers be used when bathing to prevent sweat from coming into contact
with the benches. We recommend that the sauna benches, walls, and floor be washed every six
months, at a minimum. The surfaces in the sauna should be washed with a scrubbing brush and a
cleaning agent specifically intended for washing the sauna.
