Installation of Wall Model Heater, Control and Power Unit

1. Remove heater from carton and attach to the wall with 

supplied screws. If wall thickness is less than ¾", use 
2"x4" wood bracing in the wall cavity behind the heater. 
Observe proper clearances as per Figures 1-5.

2. See applicable wiring diagram (figures 6) for heater 

model. Heater must be hard wired directly, with no pigtails 
or plug connections. Wiring must be done by a licensed, 
certified electrician. All wiring must adhere to local and 
national codes. Use proper AWG wire size and use 
copper wire suitable for 90°C within the wall cavity. Use 
grounding terminals provided in sauna heater, and power 
unit, to properly ground the equipment in accordance with 
local and national codes.

3. Refer to Table 2 to determine applicable control for heater. 

For units with Digital Sauna Control S170-1 or S170-3 
refer to Pub. No. 572 for installation instructions.

4. Inside the heater box there are two signs. Place the metal 

"CAUTION" sign on the interior wall of the sauna room 
directly above the heater in a visible place. Place the 

metal "WARNING" sign on the outside of the sauna door. 
The maintenance instructions are at the end of this 
manual.

5. Before testing the heater, fill the rock cavity with the 

igneous rocks provided with the heater and fasten the 
metal rock guard at the top of the heater. See Page 8 for 
specific instructions regarding washing and placement of 
the stones as well as heater operation.
