Installation and Operating Instructions Kalla
5. General instructions for users of Kalla heaters
Note
Electrical connections may only be carried out by an electrician with valid installation authorization
according to the current regulations. The Kalla electric heater is suitable for use in a family sauna, one
(1) heater per sauna room. Retain the installation and operating instructions for further reference.
Installation cable
Use rubber cable H07RN-F as a connection cable.
Additional connection options
Control of electric heating with the heater: The electric heating control cable is brought directly
to the heater’s junction box and further to the heater’s terminal block with a rubber cable that is
dimensionally identical to the incoming cable.
NOTE! Failure to observe the connection instructions may result in a risk of fire!
NOTE! Remove all plastic film before using the heater!
6. Things to keep in mind when using the heater
First heating
During the first heating, the resistors may emit fumes. Therefore, ensure that the room is properly
ventilated. NOTE! Also see the first time use of E type on p. 14!
Sauna room
Always check the sauna room before switching the heater on! Always make sure that the timer has
switched the power off after the set time period!
Temperature control
The temperature is adjusted from the control panel (see page 14). The actual heating time depends on
the dimensions, structure and thermal insulation of the sauna. The temperature in the sauna room can
be maintained at the desired level with the thermostat. If the temperature of the sauna room becomes
dangerously high for any reason, the overheating protector will switch the heater’s power off. The
cause of overheating must always be investigated. The power can be switched on again by pressing the
overheating protector reset button (see page 14).
Heating time
An excessive heating time consumes energy and does not improve the steaming properties. The best
steam is achieved by keeping the sauna’s heating time relatively short, at about 30–60 min., according
to the size of the sauna and the heater’s power. The size of the sauna, the glass door, windows, or
materials used may require a longer heating time.
Water thrown onto the heater
We recommend using hand warm water. The water should be fresh household water. Throwing the
water onto the heater sides / lower stones generates softer steam. If you want steam that feels hotter
and more intense, pour plenty of warm water on top of the heater all at once.
