MAINTAINING YOUR SAUNA AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Wash the layer of rock dust off of the sauna rocks before using them.
2. When your sauna is set up and working you should “break-in” the sauna before using it for the first time.
Turn it on its highest setting and keep it like that for about 1 hour. This is recommended to burn off any oils and
impurities from manufacturing, and it also “cures” the woodwork. After about ¾ hour, slowly pour about one
litre of cold water on the rocks. It should all turn to steam and not come out of the bottom of the heater. If it
does, you’re pouring too fast.
3. After each use, leave the door fully open for a few hours if possible so the wood can dry out.
4. Under normal conditions, a slight wash of the floor and benches with warm soapy water several times a year
will maintain its cleanliness. Never use ammonia or harsh cleaners as they can turn the wood gray.
5. Do NOT stain or finish the inside of the sauna with anything.
6. You can stain or paint the outside of the sauna with any outdoor finish from your local building supplier, talk
to them about a suitable product for your climate and that blends with your surroundings. If you prefer to leave
the sauna unfinished is also fine, it will turn into the weather grey color.
HOW TO TAKE A SAUNA
1. Pre-heat your sauna to the desired temperature (usually between 80-100°C)
2. While it’s warming up, take a nice hot shower.
3. Enter the pre-heated sauna, relax and allow your body to perspire in the soft dry heat. Do not throw water
on the rocks during the first part of the session.
4. Cool off with a cold shower or a quick swim in a lake or pool.
5. Re-enter the sauna and sprinkle water on the rocks. This will increase humidity to about 30% to assist in
perspiration. Half a cup every 5 minutes should be enough. Too much water will just cool off the rocks and
you’ll get less steam.
6. After a 20-30 minute sauna, cool off in the shower or lake or pool.
7. Repeat this sauna/cold shower process as often as desired.
8. It is important to drink during your sauna session and even a light snack.
9. Like bathing in a hot tub, excessive exposure can be harmful to a person’s health. People with poor health
should consult their physicians before using the sauna.
THESE ARE GUIDELINES ONLY. ENJOY YOUR SAUNA WHATEVER WAY YOU DESIRE.
