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 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
Check for error message in the display.
No error message, but the heater does not warm up.
