MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Use only clean water on sauna stones.
Do not
use spa or pool water as it will
destroy your heater.
2. Clean water should always be used
in sauna buckets and water should
be dumped out after every use. Scour
buckets and dippers occasionally
when film collects from usage. Use
plastic bucket liner in bucket to prevent
water leakage.
3. Scrub benches with a soft brush, using
soap and water or a mild disinfectant,
when needed - about once a week in
commercial saunas, or depending
upon sauna usage. For sanitation,
each bather should sit or lie on a towel
(this will prolong bench life).
4. Remove possible removable flooring
and wash waterproof floor with
disinfectant (e.g. Pine-Sol) about once
a week or as often as needed. Hose off
removable flooring to clean.
5. To maintain beautiful appearance of
sauna heater, remove water stains by
wiping with a damp cloth occasionally.
6. Our heaters require no special
maintenance when properly installed
by a qualified electrical contractor.
After 1 - 2 years of usage, the rocks
may need replacing if they have
crumbled or powdered (depending
upon sauna usage).
7. We strongly recommend a floor
that can be easily cleaned (concrete,
ceramic tile, or a poured type of
flooring). When this is provided, the
sauna can be easily cleaned and kept
in a sanitary condition with little effort.
A carpet is NOT recommended for a
sauna! A carpet becomes a perfect
breeding ground for bacteria in the
moist conditions of a sauna; and a
carpet promotes the spread of foot
diseases such as athlete’s foot.
8. In new construction, a floor drain
should also be provided, especially
in commercial saunas for sanitary
cleaning and maintenance. Seal wood
around glass in door - inside and
outside - with Thompson’s Water Seal
to prevent warpage.
9. When sauna wood becomes stained
from perspiration, the wood may be
lightly sanded with fine sandpaper
to restore beautiful appearance. We
do not recommend stains or sealers
as toxic vapors may appear when
heated.
10. The sauna room will heat faster if the
higher vent is kept in a closed position
when heating. The lower vent may
always be kept in an open position.
11. Required warning signs should be
posted according to the instructions.
