Sauna stones
Sauna stones are natural materials. Check your sauna
stones at regular intervals, since they are susceptible to
the effects of strong steam-water additives and may
decompose over a long period of time. Consult your sauna
supplier if you have any questions.
The sauna stones delivered with your sauna heating
system should be washed thoroughly in running water
and placed in the stone grate in such a way that the
convection-air can flow freely between the stones.
The quantity of sauna stones is sufficient to vaporize
approx. 10 cl of water per cubic meter of cabin space.
Wait for about 10 minutes after each pouring before adding
water again. This allows the stones to heat up sufficiently.
Never add more additives or ethereal oils to the steam
water than is indicated on the containers. Never use
alcohol or undiluted concentrates. Caution! Fire hazard.
URGENT WARNING!
Stones must not be piled in layers in the stone
grate on the sauna heater but instead
placed in a loose arrangement in order to
ensure that rising hot air can flow freely
between the stones.
General instructions
Please note that optimum sauna climate conditions can
be achieved only if the cabin ventilation (fresh air and
exhaust) system, the sauna heater and the control unit
are designed and set to work efficiently in combination.
Please observe the instructions and information
provided by your sauna supplier.
Sauna heating units heat your sauna cabin with warmed
convection air. Fresh air drawn by suction pressure
through the fresh-air inlet is heated, rises upward
(convection) and is then circulated within the cabin.
Some of the consumed air is forced out of the cabin
through the exhaust outlet. This process produces a
typical sauna climate, with temperatures of
approximately 110
°
C immediately below the ceiling
and a temperature gradient that produces low
temperatures of approximately 30-40
°
C at floor level.
Thus it is not unusual for the temperature sensor above
the heater to register 110
°
C, while the thermometer
mounted on the sauna wall approximately 20-25 cm
below the cabin ceiling shows only 85
°
C. Ordinarily,
sauna temperatures range between 80
°
C and 90
°
C at
the level of the upper recliner bench at the maximum
temperature setting.
Please remember that temperatures are always at their
highest just above the sauna heating unit and ensure
that temperature sensors and safety limiters are
mounted there.
When the unit is heated up for the first time, evaporation
of residual substances from the production process may
cause slight odors. The cabin should be aired out
thoroughly before you begin your sauna bath.
