Piling of the stones
Beware of the sharp edges of the stainless-steel mesh. Use a long-sleeved shirt
and protective gloves during the installation and once taking the heater out of the
cardboard box! Wash the stones before piling. Olivine, olivine-diabase, peridotite
or black volcanite stones are recommended stones, in sizes 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) in
diameter.
1. Detach the two stainless steel mesh frames from one another using the key (2,5mm hexagon
socket) (Picture 3 and Picture 4) .
2. Check that the guide for the elements is in place at the top of the heater and keeps them upright. It
should position appx. 15cm (6 inches) from the top of the elements (Picture 5).
3. Pile stones to the lower part of the frame until the level reaches 10 cm from the middle part
(Picture 6). This helps install the upper part within the lower frame. Idea is to pile a dense layer of
stones against the stainless-steel mesh frame and rest of the stones loosely inside in the center
part of the heater. Do not drop or throw stones into the heater. The dense layer prevents the direct
heat radiation to the overheating possibly flammable materials around the heater. The loose piling
of stones in the center part lets the air flow through the heater, resulting in a faster heating of
sauna and stones. Assure that elements do not touch each other or the heater mesh frame. Make
sure that the stones support the elements to stay vertically straight.
4. Slide the top part of the mesh back to its position and attach that to the lower part of the
meshframe
(Picture 7).
5. Pile stones to the fill the upper part. You may loosen the element guide to make the piling easier
for the time of piling. At that point make sure that the elements remain straight when piling the
stones. A bare heating element can endanger combustible materials even outside the safety
distances. Check that no heating elements can be seen behind the stones!
6. To complete the piling, reattach the guide properly and leave in place. The heating elements should
be carefully covered. Please make sure that elements make NO contact with each other or with the
heater frame
(Picture 8).
7. Attach the mesh frames by adding the cap on top of the upper mesh by using the key to tighten the
screw (Picture 9).
8. Affix the heater to the wall using the screws (Picture 10). ATTN! Check that the heater stands
steady and is level before doing this.
9. Connect the “steamguide” to the upper part of the heater (Picture 11).
10. Install the heat/steam deflector directly on top of the heater. Tighten the plate to the ceiling by using
4 screws. That will prevent the ceiling from overheating above the heater
(Picture 12.).
11. Please place the metal “CAUTION” sign on the interior wall of the sauna room directly above the
heater (Picture 13.) in a visible place (screws and nails included). Place the metal “WARNING” sign
outside, on the door of the sauna room (Picture 14.).
12. We recommend the use of safety railings around the heater. However, the stainless-steel mesh
frame does not over-heat the way ordinary steel-cased heaters do.
13. The surface of the stones can settle after the heater is in use. Frequently check that the heating
elements do not become exposed. If this should happen, add more stones. The disintegration of
the stones depends on the type of stones and the frequency of use. The condition of the stones
should be checked yearly, and broken stones must be replaced with new ones.
