8. SAFETY RAIL
- If necessary, a safety rail should be built around
the sauna heater (Figure 8). We recommend
making this rail from wood.
The prescribed minimum clearances to structures
made from inflammable materials shall be
followed rigorously. Incorrect installation
constitutes a fire hazard.
- There must be a space of at least 1,000 mm between the temperature sensor and
the fresh air duct or 500 mm if the duct end can be turned.
- If the ventilation is natural, we recommend placing the inlet air valve on the side of the heater
or under it, either in the wall or in the floor.
- It is important to introduce fresh air, so that the air mixes with the air and the steam.
- The exiting air should be exhausted from near the floor as far as possible from the incoming air.
- The air exhaust valve may be located under the sauna benches.
- The exiting air may be directed out of the steam room through the washroom, for instance under the
door. There must be an approximately 100-150-wide slit between the door and the floor.
- If you provide your sauna with a separate drying valve, place it in the ceiling of the steam room.
(This valve shall be closed during the use of the sauna.)
7. CONSTRUCTION OF THE SAUNA
-
The sauna space must have a good thermal insulation, especially on the ceiling through which most
of the heat is transferred. Because of the moisture, we recommend protecting the thermal insulation
of the sauna with some non-permeable material, such as, for instance aluminium foil. The surface
(panels) of the sauna rooms interior should always be wooden or made of non-combustible material.
- Floor is recommended to be of dark color, because water impurity and stones may stain lighter
floor materials.

9. IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS:
- A suitable temperature for the sauna room is between 60–80 °C.
- Staying in the hot sauna for a longer time, makes the body temperature rise, which may be dangerous.
Do not sleep in sauna.
- You should be careful in the vicinity of the hot heater, because the stones and
metal parts of the heater may cause burns.
- Only a small amount of water (1-2 dl) should be thrown onto the heater stones, because
the steaming water is scalding hot.
- This equipment is not to be used by children or people whose physical and psychological traits, mental
functions, lack of experience or knowledge may hinder the safe operation of the equipment, if the
person who is responsible for safety cannot supervise them or instruct them in the use of the equipment.
- Do not go to the sauna if you are under the influence of substances causing intoxication.
- Children may not be left unsupervised and they should be supervised to make sure
they do not play with the equipment.
- Always inspect the steam room before plugging in the heater.
- The improperly filed stone container is a fire hazard.
- Covering the stove will cause a fire hazard.
- Do not place any objects top over the heater or dry clothes near by the heater.
- Door and window must be closed when using the heater.
- The stainless steel casing may change its color because of the heat, which is normal behavior for the
material. Color changes are not covered by the warranty.
- Use normal domestic water for steam water. Do not use sea water (or other salty water) or
chlorinated water.
- Sea air and a humid climate fastens the corrosion of the heater.
