This part is available in the box and shall be attached to the nipple during installation
as shown above. Make sure that the nipple's thread has been provided with Teflon tape,
and that the handle is in "closed" position after installation.

If the steam generator doesn't work, check the following:

Is the combi heater connected to the power supply?

Is the steam generator turned on?

Is sufficient water in the reservoir?

Is the overheat protector engaged? To disengage it, push the reset button.

(refer to section 1.3.5)

Is the instruction regarding temperature setting of the sauna heater given in the

manual of the external control unit followed?

Was a FILL message to refill the container displayed on the external control unit?
It takes a few minutes before the steam generator heater turns on again.

If heater doesn't work, check the following:

that the heater has been switched to operating time not to the presetting time.

How to Use the Sauna

Leave your clothes in the dressing room. You should also have a clean set of clothes to wear after
the sauna.
Take a shower before you enter the sauna.
Enter the sauna and sit on the bench. You may want to use a small towel to set on.
In Sauna Heater operation mode you may increase humidity of the sauna room by throwing water
on the stones of the heater. The recommended temperature in the sauna is 70 to 90ºC (158-194ºF),
at most 100ºC (212ºF). In Steam Generator mode, the recommended temperature in the sauna
room is 40 to 50ºC (104 to 122ºF).
Leave the sauna room when you feel hot enough. Cool off by taking a shower or a swim or just
by sitting in room temperature or outside. Have a drink if you feel thirsty, but avoid alcohol in
the sauna.
You may go back to the warm sauna room, taking your time to relax and enjoy the sauna are
atmosphere. You can repeat the hot-cold cycle as many times as you feel comfortable.
Two rounds usually suitable for other people.
After sauna, wash yourself in a shower (or go for a swim).
Dry yourself with a towel or just by sitting in room temperature.
Before putting on clean clothes allow enough time for cooling off, otherwise the sweating may
still continue.
Finally, have a peaceful rest and a refreshing drink.

Using scents

Liquid scents can be used with the combi heater to make your sauna bath more enjoyable.
Scents can be poured in the provided scent basins inserted in the water reservoir cover
(refer to section 7). Avoid pouring scents while the steam generator is on. The hot steam
might cause burns. The scent basins shall be rinsed with water after using them with scents.

1.3.5.

Resetting the combi heater

If the steam generator is accidentally operated without water, an automatic shut down
mechanism prevents the steam generator from overheating. The steam generator can not be
turned on again unless the reset button at the bottom of the tank is pushed gently (refer to
Fig. 2). Before pushing the reset button turn off the combi heater on the external control unit.
Allow the steam generator to cool down for about 15 minutes. To operate the steam generator
again, refill water and turn on the combi heater at the external control unit. In case the steam
generator fails to turn on again after resetting, contact a licensed technician to assess your
combi heater for possible malfunction.

1.3.4.

Cleaning the water reservoir

Impurities from water, e.g. lime, will accumulate on the walls of the steam generator's water
reservoir. For decalcification we recommend decalcifying agents intended for household
appliances, e.g. coffeemakers and water kettles. These agents are to be used as instructed by
the manufacturer. The outside of the steam generator can be cleaned with a damp cloth. When
cleaning the outside, ensure that the steam generator's power switch is in off position. Before
cleaning inside the water tank remove the cover first (refer to section 6). For cleaning use a
household brush. Do not use a steel brush as this might damage the tank wall or bottomplate.
Do not attempt to clean the tank by hand to avoid injuries caused by tank edges. We recommend
to clean the inside of the tank (including side compartment) after every second use.

Drying the sauna

The sauna room must always be allowed to dry thoroughly after the steam generator has been used.
In order to speed up the drying process, sauna heater and ventilation can be used at maximum
setting. If the combi heater is supporting the drying process of the sauna room, remember to turn off
the combi heater after the drying is completed.
