WARNING

     SECTION 2: MOUNTING OF SAUNA HEATER

     SECTION 3: PLACING OF ROCKS     (SEE DIAGRAM #10)

HANGING THE HEATER  Using the template provided, drill four 9/64" holes 
to fasten the heater to the wall.  Install two ¼" x 1 ½" hex head lag screws 
(supplied with the heater) into the upper two holes.  Tighten these screws 
until their heads are about 1/8" from the wall surface.  The screws must be 
threaded through the wall into a framing member or backing board to 
support the heater weight.  Hang the heater on the two upper screws. 
Locate the two ¼" x 1" hex head lag screws (supplied with the heater) then 
install them into the two lower mounting holes.  Tighten to lock the heater in 
place. See Diagram 1 for the heater location details and the necessary 
clearances to combustible materials.

The rocks supplied with the heater have been chosen to provide the best 
heater performance.  Use of any other type of rock may void the heaters 
warranty.  Never operate the heater without rocks in place! Rinse the rocks 
with water before placing in the heater.  Carefully place the rocks loosely so 
that the air can circulate through the heater.  Packing the rocks too tightly 
may cause the heater high limit switch to trip. The rocks must fully cover 
the heating elements.  Attach the guard with the screws provided. 

Fire sprinkler systems used 

inside any sauna room should 

be properly rated for sauna 

room temperatures.

Do not pour chlorinated pool 

or spa water on heater. 

Excessive water use on heater 

may cause damage and void 

warranty.

Electric Shock Hazard - High 

voltage exists within this 

equipment.  There are no user 

serviceable parts in this 

equipment.  All installation 

and service to this equipment 

should be performed by 

qualied licensed personnel 

in accordance with local and 

national codes.

Do not construct sauna room 

so as to restrict air ow 

through the bottom of the 

heater.

Packing the rocks too tightly 

may cause the heater high 

limit switch to trip.

     SECTION 4: ELECTRICAL HOOK-UP

     SECTION 6: HEATER SCREEN (GUARD RAIL)

Electrical installation must be made by a licensed electrician in accordance 
with the National Electrical Code and local regulations. 

Remove the screws from the left and right sides of the electrical box.  
Remove the painted trim piece from the front of the box. Route the feed 
wires through the holes provided in the bottom of the heater and connect 
the wires to the terminal block.  To determine the correct wire size, refer to 
Diagram 2.  Use copper supply wire only, suitable for minimum 90 degrees 
C.  The heater must be grounded!  See Diagram 6 for proper connections.

Install a wooden heater guard to prevent the sauna bather from  accidentally 
touching the sauna heater.  Install the heater guard rail with the dimensions 
shown in Diagram 1 & 8.

     SECTION 5: TEMPERATURE SENSOR

Feed the "low voltage" sensor wire from the sensor to the T1 control 
location. Sensor wire must be routed completely separate (as per low 
voltage electrical wiring codes) from any wiring carrying over 50 volts. It 
may be necessary to drill holes to string the wire through the studs or 
ceiling joists. Route the wire to T1 controller and connect to the control 
connection. Mount sensor to nished wall 2" from the ceiling directly above  
the heater using two (2) screws (provided) as shown in diagrams 1, 3 & 5.
