Installation of the heater 

 

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION (for certified electrician only) 

 

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. 

 

The electric installation may only be administered by a 

qualified electrician adhering to current regulations.  

 

1.

 

After removing the heater from the cardboard box, take off the plastic wrapping from around the 

heater. 

2.

 

Choose the place for the heater according to the required safety distances. The installation must be 

carried out in the place where the heater will be situated. The safety distances for Electric IKI 6 – 9 

kW are measured from the heater's mesh frame outwards 

(Page 12: Safety distances). 

Negligence 

to comply with the safety distances may cause fire hazard. 

3.

 

See applicable wiring diagram for the right heater model to be installed 

(Page 11),

 

ATTN! 

Heater 

must be permanently installed by using seal tight conduit between the heater and the wall of the 

sauna room (plugs are not allowed in the sauna room). All Wiring must be done by a licensed 

electrician, who must follow wiring diagram provided and adhere to local regulations. Use proper 

AWG rated wire size and use copper wire suitable for 194 °F (90 °C) within sauna walls. Make sure 

that the connecting cable will not be exposed to thermal radiation or mechanical strain. If the 

rubber cable running inside the wall of the sauna is above 1000 mm from the floor, it needs to 

endure temperatures up to 170Celsius /338Fahrenheit. The use of PVC-insulated cable as a 

connecting cable is prohibited due to thermal embrittlement. Use grounding terminals provided in 

sauna heater and control unit to properly ground the equipment as per NEC and local regulations.   

4.

 

Remove the base plate

 (Picture 1.) 

from the bottom of the connection box of the heater and 

connect the five-pole electric cable to the connection strip inside the element box according to the 

wiring diagram

 (Page 11).

 

5.

 

Once the heater is fully connected to the control unit and the house cabling, measure that all the 

heating elements function properly. If problems occur, contact the manufacturer's technical 

support

. ATTN!

 When making the final inspection of the installations, a “leakage” might be 

detected when measuring insulation resistance. The reason for this is that the insulating material of 

the heating elements has absorbed moisture from the air/ transportation. After 2 -3 times  

6.

 

Close the base plate 

(Picture 3.)

.  

7.

 

Make sure that the lower part of the stainless-steel mesh frame is fastened correctly 

(Picture 4.)

 

and that it is an equal distance from all the heating elements. Check that the heating elements 

stand up straight and install the element guidance plate appx. 15cm (6 inches) from the top of the 

elements 

(Picture 5. A: Element guidance plate).

  If they have been bent, carefully straighten them 

so that the elements go smoothly through the plate.  

8.

 

Adjust the heater to level by adjusting the heater legs. Then add the sauna stones to the heater.
