Maintenance and Care
All sauna heaters are made of low-corrosion material. To enjoy
your sauna heater for many years to come, you should maintain
and care for the unit. Clean or de-scale the units when needed.
If you do not use your sauna for a significant period of time,
always check before use that there are no other objects on or
near the sauna heater before switching the unit on.
Before installation of your sauna heater, please refer to
standard DIN VDE 0100 part 703! This standard includes
the following statement (paragraph 703.412.05), valid since
February 2006, Quotation:
The additional must be planned for all electric circuits of the
Sauna by one or more fault current protection device (RCDs)
with a calculation difference stream not larger than 30 mA,
excluded of it is Saunaheating.
standard en 60335-1 din vde 0700 part 1 of january
2001 states the following in paragraph 13:
The leakage current may not exceed the following values
during operation:
- for stationary heaters of protection class I 0.75 mA; or 0.75
mA each kW input of the appliance, depending on the higher
value, at a maximum value of 5 mA.
If the appliance is equipped with a protective device for leakage
current (ELCB), please note that no other electrical units will
be protected by this ELCB.
Under current manufacturing methods, it is not yet possible to
produce tubular heating elements for sauna heaters which do
not attract moisture on each end from the surrounding air. It is
also possible that moisture from the surrounding air has been
concentrated in the magnesium-oxide filling in the heating
elements during transport or storage and will now cause the
ELCB to be triggered.
In this case, the unit must be heated up under supervision of an
expert, during which the PE conductor must be disconnected.
After about 10 minutes, when moisture has evaporated from the
heating elements, the heater should be reconnected to the PE
conductor.
If the sauna heater is not in use for a significant period of
time, we recommend running it every 6 weeks, so as to avoid
moisture concentrating in the heating elements.
If the ELCB is triggered during start-up, the electrical
installation must be checked. Installation of the sauna heater
and control unit may be undertaken only by an authorized
electrician. Without documentation of such installation, the
warranty will be invalid.
