Chapter Four: Testing and operation
1. Testing
•
After checking that the sauna heater installation is correct, put the sauna stone in place (note we
recommend washing the stones thoroughly in water to remove any dust before the first use). Put the
larger stones at the bottom and smaller stones on top. Take care not to pack the stones too tightly other
wise the air will not be able to circulate around the elements which can cause premature failure, but do
make sure to cover the elements completely. Note that it will be necessary to change the stones from
time to time as they will gradually crumble with use. For commercial users this is probably every year,
for domestic users once every several years, depending upon use. (Fig 11)

Before connecting to the power supply check the sauna heater and make sure there are no flammable
items on or around the heater, please note that on the first use the elements and stones may smoke
slightly and give off a smell – please ensure the sauna cabin is well ventilated.

The sauna heater has a sequential heating function so that the heater can work economically. When
the heater is first turned on all the elements will work together to reach the target temperature, when the
target is reached one element will be left working to keep the target temperature constant (for OCS30,
OCS40 ,one bank will stop ). When sauna room temperature goes 2
