USE
Preheating before using the sauna
Before using the sauna and putting the stones into place, a wood-burning sauna heater is
preheated outdoors on a non-combustible base. Before preheating, remove all protective plastic
and stickers from the sauna heater. The purpose of preheating is to remove all protective agents
from the sauna heater, such as harmful solvents and fumes released from the paint. Using the
connecting pipe provided with the sauna heater in the top connection of the heater improves
draught while preheating the stove. Filling the firebox with wood 1–2 times is enough for
preheating. After heating, the material that has come loose from the space reserved for stones in
the sauna heater is removed using a wire brush, for example. The painted outer surface of the
sauna heater must not be scrubbed or wiped. Water must not be thrown on the sauna heater during
preheating. Attach the sauna heater and add the stones in accordance with the instructions. You
can find more information in the instructions of the sauna heater.
Sauna bathing
The most important thing while sauna bathing is to take care of hydration, i.e. drinking water .
Even though sauna bathing is beneficial to your health, you must always listen to your body.
Suitable heat and steam in the sauna is a combination of the right temperature, humidity and
ventilation. In Finland, sauna bathing at a temperature of 70–80 degrees Celsius is normal. The
heat should nevertheless reach at least 70 degrees to kill any possible bacteria.
Avoid sauna bathing with babies less than six months old, because their heat tolerance has not
developed yet. You can start taking babies of six months of age or older to the sauna for short
periods of time while staying on the lowest benches and not throwing water on the rocks. If you
have an illness, always ask the doctor for recommendations on sauna bathing.
Please note that the sauna heater and its parts get hot when the heater is heated. Always use
protective gloves when touching parts of the heater. Move carefully in the sauna, because the floor
and benches of the sauna may be slippery.
Recommended accessories
We recommend the following accessories to make sauna bathing an easy and enjoyable
experience.
Water bucket and ladle are necessary: they can be used to throw a suitable amount
of water on the sauna heater. Thermometer makes it easy to monitor the temperature both while
heating up the sauna as well as maintaining the heat. Sauna bench towels make it easy to
maintain hygiene; the benches do not feel hot and the towels decorate the sauna beautifully.
Different kinds of
sauna scents create experiences for the senses; e.g. the eucalyptus sauna
scent opens up your nose if you have a cold (always remember to read the instructions on the
sauna scent package). We recommend using organic sauna scents. They are environmentally
friendly.
Sauna and bathing hats protect the bathers from cold, especially while cooling off
outside in cold weather. In Finland, we also use a sauna whisk during the summer. The sauna
whisk is bound out of birch twigs, and we Finns use it to gently whip ourselves. Using the whisk
improves the circulation of blood in the body.
