HEATING OF THE SAUNA
Before switching the heater on always
check that there isn’t anything on top
of the heater or inside the given safety
distance. See item 1.6 “Warnings”.
When the heater is switched on for the
first time, both the heater and the stones
emit smell. To remove the smell, the sauna
room needs to be efficiently ventilated.
The purpose of the heater is to raise the
temperature of the sauna room and the
sauna stones to the required bathing
temperature. If the heater output is
suitable for the sauna room, it will take
about an hour for a properly insulated
sauna to reach that temperature. See item
2. “Sauna Room Construction - General
Information”. A suitable temperature for
the sauna room is about 149 - 176°F (65
- 80°C).
The sauna stones normally reach the
required bathing temperature at the
same time as the sauna room. If the
heater capacity is too big, the air in the
sauna will heat very quickly, whereas the
temperature of the stones may remain
insufficient; consequently, the water
thrown on the stones will run through.
On the other hand, if the heater capacity
is too low for the sauna room, the room
will heat slowly and, by throwing water
on the stones, and bather may try to raise
the temperature of the sauna. However,
the water will only cool down the stones
quickly, and after a while the sauna will
not be warm enough and the heater will
not be able to provide enough heat.
In order to make bathing enjoyable,
the heater capacity should be carefully
chosen to suit the size of the sauna room.
CONTROL UNIT OF HEATER
The ClubHeat / KG model heaters require
a separate control unit to operate the
heater. The control unit should be located
outside the sauna room in a dry place,
at a height of approximately 5’. The
temperature sensor, by means of which
the set temperature is maintained in the
sauna room, should be connected to the
control unit. The temperature sensor and
overheating limiter are located in the
sensor box installed above the heater.
The sensor box should be installed
in accordance with the installation
instructions of the control unit model in
question.
The ClubHeat / KG model heaters are
controlled with the HeatPad control unit.
