Sauna Heater Manual
13. Maintenance
We recommend that you inspect the sauna heater on a regular basis for any signs of
deterioration of the condition, pay particular attention to both the fastenings, the condition of
the wiring and the electrical elements.
Note if the rocks have started to crumble this can cause the elements to overheat and they
should be changed for new rocks. We recommend commercial operators to change the rocks at
least once very 12 months.
13.1. Sauna Heaters & Sauna Cabins Maintenance
All Sauna products supplied by Direct Saunas Limited and Oceanic Saunas are for use in an
indoor environment such as a domestic house or a club building and should not be used in any
other circumstances.
13.2. Sauna Maintenance
Dependant upon how regularly the sauna cabin is being used a series of maintenance checks
should be performed on the sauna cabin and sauna heater to ensure that they are kept in a
good state of repair.
For commercial users we recommend these inspections be conducted on a monthly basis by a
member of the maintenance staff and detailed records kept.
For domestic use these checks should be carried out every 6 months.
Any obvious deterioration should be noted immediately if noticed in between maintenance
checks and should be resolved before continuing use of the products.
Under no circumstances do we recommend operating the sauna cabin if any electrical wiring
is considered to be hazardous, please contact your electrician or our technical department for
assistance.
13.3. Maintenance Checks
Please note all maintenance checks should be preformed whilst the sauna cabin and sauna
heater are cold.
13.4. Sauna Heater:
Ensure the heater has been correctly disconnected from the mains electricity before these
checks are conducted
1)
Check sauna elements for signs of deterioration. Report any signs of deterioration to the
supplier
2)
Make sure all rocks are placed correctly onto the heater elements to ensure an adequate
airflow around the elements. Note that the rocks will gradually crumble and settle around the
elements which can then cause overheating, this may lead to early failure or even melting of the
elements.
For commercial operators an electrician must periodically inspect and ensure all the wiring is in
a good condition and all connections are good and tight – a good idea would be to have this
carried out annually as for PAT testing.
