other receptacles when the sauna is in operation. Both of these options

10. Lower Heat Emitters
Solution:
With regards to the lower heat emitters under the bench and on
the floor, these heat emitters operate a bit different than the wall heat
emitters. As the bench heat emitter and floor heat emitter (200W/125W
each) are of much less wattage than the wall heat emitters (300W each),
they will not get nearly as hot as the wall heat emitter panels. We can
have you run two tests. First, remove the bench from the sauna room.
Next, preheat the sauna room by setting the temperature to the maximum
of 151 degrees F
and time to 90 minutes. Record the starting/beginning temperature and
the temperature after 15 minute intervals up to 90 minutes (do not enter
the unit or open the door during this test). If the sauna room goes above
130 degrees F (usually after about 40 to 50 minutes of preheating with a
beginning temperature above 70 degrees F) at any given time, then we
know that the heat emitters are working successfully. With even one heat
emitter not
working correctly, the sauna room will struggle to get above 130 degrees
F within the average allotted time. The next test would be to enter the
sauna room and to
cautiously
place your hand on the back side of the
bench heat emitter in the center (this would normally be covered by the
bench which you
already removed). If you touch the heat emitter panel and it is warm-to-
hot, then it is working correctly. If you are able to place your hand on the
back side of the heat emitter and it feels like there is no heat being
produced, then we know it is not working properly and you will need to
contact Customer Service. You can also check the floor heat emitter by
touching the heat emitter
cautiously
with your finger
.
You will need to
remove the wood grade cover to get a true feeling of the heat from the
floor heat emitter.
Please do keep in mind that the bench heat emitter and
floor heat emitter only keep the area below the bench warm as heat
always rises. The majority of heat is concentrated above the bench. You
can use a towel to drape over your legs to trap the heat as it rises if your
lower extremities feel a draft.
11. Intentional Rear Wall Warp
Solution:
The rear wall panel is intentionally warped as part of the sauna
design. This adds strength to the sauna structure once the unit is
assembled. Please try the following in assembling the sauna. With one
