SECTION 2: MOUNTING OF SAUNA HEATER
SECTION 3: PLACING OF ROCKS
Using the heater mounting bracket as a guide, drill four 1/8" holes to
fasten the bracket to the wall. Attach the bracket with the ¼" x 1 ½"
screws supplied with the heater. The screws must be threaded through
the wall into a framing member or backing board to hold the heater
weight. See Diagram 2 for the necessary clearances to combustible
materials.
LEFT- AND RIGHT-HAND MOUNTING The heater is reversible.
You can choose to locate the heater timer and thermostat controls on
either the right or the left side for easy operation. To reverse the
heater, simply remove the rock guard from the top of the heater, rotate
them and reinstall.
PLACE THE HEATER ON THE BRACKET Line up the four holes at
the bottom of the heater with the four lugs on the mounting bracket as
shown in Diagram 1. Push the heater gently toward the wall, so the
lugs of the mounting bracket pass through the four holes in the heater.
Fasten the heater to the mounting bracket using the two #8 sheet metal
screws provided with the heater.
SECTION 4: ELECTRICAL HOOK-UP
Electrical installation must be made by a licensed electrician in
accordance with the National Electrical Code and local regulations.
Remove the heater's electrical box cover and connect the feed wires to
the terminal block. To determine the correct wire size, refer to
Diagram 3. Use copper supply wire only, suitable for minimum 90
degrees C. The heater must be grounded! See Diagram 6 for proper
connections.
The rocks supplied with the heater have been chosen to provide the
best heater performance. Use of any other type of rock will void the
heater's warranty. Never operate the heater without rocks in place!
Rinse the rocks with water before placing in the heater. Place the
larger rocks at the bottom and the smallest at the top. Place the rocks
loosely so that the air can circulate through the heater. Packing the
rocks too tightly may cause the heater control to disable heater
operation. 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.
Do not install a shower in
the sauna room.
