WARNING
SECTION 2: MOUNTING OF SAUNA HEATER
SECTION 3: PLACING OF ROCKS (SEE DIAGRAM #10)
HANGING THE HEATER Using the template provided, drill four 9/64" holes to
fasten the heater to the wall. Install two ¼" x 1 ½" hex head lag screws (supplied
with the heater) into the upper two holes. Tighten these screws until their heads
are about 1/8" from the wall surface. The screws must be threaded through the
wall into a framing member or backing board to support the heater weight. Hang
the heater on the two upper screws. Locate the two ¼" x 1" hex head lag screws
(supplied with the heater) then install them into the two lower mounting holes.
Tighten to lock the heater in place. See Diagram 1 for the heater location details
and the necessary clearances to combustible materials.
The rocks supplied with the heater have been chosen to provide the best heater
performance. Use of any other type of rock may void the heaters warranty. Never
operate the heater without rocks in place! Rinse the rocks with water before
placing in the heater. Carefully place the rocks loosely so that the air can circulate
through the heater. Packing the rocks too tightly may cause the heater high limit
switch to trip. 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.
Electric Shock Hazard - High
voltage exists within this
equipment. There are no user
serviceable parts in this
equipment. All installation
and service to this equipment
should be performed by
qualied licensed personnel
in accordance with local and
national codes.
Do not construct sauna room
so as to restrict air ow
through the bottom of the
heater.
Packing the rocks too tightly
may cause the heater high
limit switch to trip.
SECTION 4: ELECTRICAL HOOK-UP
SECTION 6: HEATER SCREEN (GUARD RAIL)
Electrical installation must be made by a licensed electrician in accordance with
the National Electrical Code and local regulations.
- NOTE: A GFCI (Ground Fault Interrupt Circuit) device is not required by ETL. A
GFCI may be installed if required by local codes but will nuisance trip during use of
the product. - CAUTION: Loose wire connections can cause heat damage to wires,
terminal blocks and other components and may void the warranty.
Remove the screws from the left and right sides of the electrical box. Remove the
painted trim piece from the front of the box. Route the feed wires through the holes
provided in the bottom of the heater and connect the wires to the terminal block.
To determine the correct wire size, refer to Diagram 2. Use copper supply wire
only, suitable for minimum 90 degrees C. The heater must be grounded! See
Diagram 6 for proper connections.
Install a wooden heater guard to prevent the sauna bather from accidentally
touching the sauna heater. Install the heater guard rail with the dimensions shown
in Diagram 1 & 8.
SECTION 5: TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Feed the "low voltage" sensor wire from the sensor to the sauna heater location.
Sensor wire must be routed completely separate (as per low voltage electrical
wiring codes) from any wiring carrying over 50 volts. It may be necessary to drill
holes to string the wire through the studs or ceiling joists. Route the wire to bottom
of the heater and connect to the sensor connection. Mount sensor to nished wall
5" from the ceiling directly above the heater using two (2) screws (provided) as
shown in diagrams 1, 3 & 5.
