mini steam generator does not need to be changed to the silicone cable as long as it does not
enter the cabin higher than 500mm from the floor.)
viii. Do not install two or more sauna heaters in one sauna room.
ix. The sauna heater becomes very hot when operating and must be guarded to protect incase of
accidental contact, please see the sizes in fig 2a, 2b, 4a and also refer to chart 4.

the height should be a minimum of 1800mm from floor. The horizontal distance to sauna
heater should exceed 500mm.
xi. Wash the rocks thoroughly before filling the basket. Discard any with veins running through or
any rocks smaller than 50x50mm.
xii. Fill the rocks loosely around the elements, try to use the larger rocks between the elements
and use the smaller ones for the top.
xiii. To prolong the life of your sauna you can use a heatproof board behind and above the heater
to prevent charring, for commercial cases this should be more seriously considered.
8. Apollo Heater Guard (Optional Extra)
Note: If you are constructing an alternative heater guard it must NOT be installed above the
height of the cover trim as the direct heat from the sauna rocks could cause the timber to
burn and result in a fire. See page 13 for fixing steam unit to heater.
