Maintenance and care
All sauna heaters are made of a corrosion-re-
sistant material. You should maintain and care
for the device so that you can enjoy your sauna
heater for a long time. you must make sure that
all openings and radiation plates in the vacuum
area are kept free of obstructions. By drawing in
fresh air, these can easily become blocked with
fluff and dust. This restricts the air convection
of the sauna heater and unauthorized tempera-
tures can occur.
Clean or remove limescale from the device as
required. Please contact your sauna dealer or
the manufacturing factory if you notice any de-
fects or signs of wear and tear.
If you haven't used your sauna for a while,
make sure that no hand towels, detergents
or other objects have been placed on the
sauna heater or evaporator before starting
the sauna.
DIN VDE part 703 must be observed for
installation of the sauna heaters!
This norm, in the latest version valid since Feb-
ruary 2006 with amendments to paragraph
703.412.05, makes the following statement;
quote:
The additional protection must be provided for all of the
sauna's electrical circuits through one or more residual
current devices (RCD) with a differential measurement
current no higher than 30 mA, with the exception of
sauna heaters.
EN 60335-1 DIN VDE part 1 from January 2001
states the following under paragraph 13; quote:
The leakage current may not exceed the following
values at operating temperature:
- For fixed heaters under protection class I: 0.75 mA or
0.75 mA per kW measurement detection of the device,
depending on which value is higher, with a maximum
value of 5 mA.
If a residual current device (RCD) is installed, make
sure that no other electrical consumers are protected
using this RCD.
According to the current status of technology, it does
not make sense to use vapor-tight heaters in saunas.
In some cases, the magnesium-oxide filling in the
heaters by draw moisture from the air through the
vapor-diffusion silicone seal which may lead to the
RCD triggering in a few cases. This is a physical pro-
cess and is not a manufacturing error.
In this case, the heater must be heated by a specialist
under supervision, whereby the function of the RCD
is by-passed. After the moisture has been drawn from
the heating rods after approx. 10 mins, the RCD can
be incorporated in the electrical circuit again!
If the sauna is not used very often, we recommend
heating it approximately every six weeks so that
moisture does not accumulate in the heating rods.
If the RCD is triggered during initialization, the elec-
trical installation must be checked once again.
The electrical fitter is responsible for correct connec-
tion of the heaters and liability by the manufacturer
is therefore excluded!
Attention! Risk of injuries!
Suitable protective gloves must be worn
when cleaning the outer shell components.
To ensure the correct temperature
regulation, please be sure that the stones
cover all heating elements!
It is not permitted to operate the heater
without stones.
