The sauna room and ventilation
Correct ventilation is very important for pleasant sauna baths. The following recommendations are currently in force
for sauna rooms with electric stoves:
The fresh air ventilator should be placed at least 50 cm above the sauna stove. The exhaust air ventilator should
be placed as far from the stove as possible and close to the edge of the floor. You can also lead the exhaust air to
the shower room from under the door to the sauna room (as long as the gap is at least 5 cm high). This alternative
works well when you use mechanical air conditioning. The diameter of the ventilation pipes should be between 50
and 100 mm and the exhaust vent should be bigger than the fresh air vent.
Instructions for electrical installations
The sauna stove can only be connected to the power supply by an authorised electrician in accordance with the
applicable regulations. The connecting cable must be a rubber cable type H07RN-F. Never use a PVC cable in a
sauna stove!
Connect the stove semi-permanently to the junction box. The junction box must be splash-proof and it must not be
installed higher than 50 cm from the floor. The thermostat knob is located in the lower part of the stove. Please see
pages 10-11.
Additional connections:
1. Connecting the signal light outside the sauna room
The connecting cable must be of type H07RN-F, with the same circumference as the connecting cable of the stove
(see wiring diagrams on pages 10-11).
2.Connecting electrical heating with the sauna stove
Run the control cable for electrical heating directly into the junction box of the sauna stove, and from there to the
terminal blocks of the sauna stove along a rubber cable with the same thickness as that of the connection wire (see
wiring diagrams on pages 10-11).
Troubleshooting
If the sauna stove does not heat, check the following:
- Has the power been switched on?
- Has the timer been switched on to a section where the sauna stove should be heated?
- Does the thermostat show a higher figure than the temperature of the sauna?
- Has the timer stopped/got stuck? The timer knob can only move freely if there is a gap of 1-2 mm between the
timer knob and the front panel of the timer.
- Has the temperature limit control cut the power off? Reset the temperature limit control by pressing the hole next
to the thermostat knob until you hear a clicking sound. Always check the reason for the overheating before you turn
the stove back on!
