Instructions
for
use
Before
bathing
for
the
first
time,
heat
up
the
heater
once
to
burn
off
the
protective
oil
solvents.
Be
careful
to
air
out
the
sauna
room
efficiently
afterwards.
The
heating
time
is
about
45–75
minutes
depending
on
the
size
of
the
room
and
its
ventilation.
Recommended
temperature
for
IKI
stone
pillars
is
50–70
degrees.
Pouring
water
on
the
heater
increases
temperature
and
humidity.
You
can
control
the
heat
and
humidity
by
pouring
the
water
to
different
parts
of
the
heater.
The
temperature
should
be
set
to
the
desired
range
from
the
temperature
knob
in
the
control
unit.
Check
that
the
heating
elements
do
not
become
exposed
as
the
stones
shift
about
due
to
heat
expansion.
Check
the
condition
of
the
stones
once
a
year,
and
clean
and
replace
as
necessary.
Do
not
throw
water
to
the
heater
when
there
are
people
nearby:
the
steam
coming
off
the
heater
is
burning
hot.
Do
not
throw
too
much
water
on
to
the
heater.
Maximum
amount
is
half
a
litre
at
a
time.
Trouble
‐
shooting
If
the
heater
or
sauna
room
does
not
heat
up,
check
that:
The
power
is
on
The
timer
is
set
to
the
operating
range
The
temperature
knob
is
set
to
a
higher
temperature
than
the
temperature
in
the
sauna
room
The
fuses
are
intact
The
temperature
restrictor
(overheat
protector)
has
not
gone
off.
If
temperature
restrictor
has
gone
off,
the
reason
for
this
must
be
solved
before
using
heater
again
The
stones
are
piled
correctly
If
the
wooden
walls
/
parts
take
on
a
darker
shade,
check
safety
distances
and
piling
of
the
stones
does
not
leave
resistor
exposed
or
touching
one
another.
If
the
resistors
are
visible
they
emit
excessive
heat.
