HEATER STONES
The main purpose of the stones in the heater unit is to store enough energy to efficiently
vaporize the water thrown on top of the stones to maintain correct humidity in the sauna
room. The stones must be removed at least once a year or every 500 hours which ever
occurs first. All stone crumbles must be removed from the heater unit and replaced with
new ones as described in the heater manual. When placing the stones, recommended to
use cut resistant gloves. The required amount of stones is listed in the manual provided
(See page 28 Technical Data).
NOTE!
Never use the heater without stones as it may cause fire. Use only manufacturer
recommended SaWo-stones. Using unsuitable stones may lead to heating element damage
and will void the warranty. Never use eramic stones or other artificial stones of any type!
LOADING STONES INTO THE HEATER
It is recommended that all stones should be rinsed to remove any stains or dust that
can cause unpleasant odor during the first few times of using the heater. It is impor
-
tant that the stones are loaded carefully in a way that they do not block air circulation
through the heater. Load the stones to the heater so that the heating elements are
not visible from any angle. Larger stones that won’t fit between the heating elements
must not be forced in place instead they must be completely removed. Small crumble
or stone pieces smaller than 35 mm in diameter must not be loaded into the heater be-
cause they will block the air circulation and will cause overheating and possible heating
element damage. Load the stones to the heater so that the heating elements are not
visible from any angle. If heating elements touch each others, it will significantly reduce
the life span of heating element.
NOTE!
Heating element damage due to overheating caused by wrong kind of stones or
stones which were wrongly loaded into the heater is not covered by the factory warranty.
Before the heater is filled with stones, electrician should test that the heater works.
Testing can be done by turning on the heater for a short time without any stones
and verifying that all heating elements are heating up.

Abstandhalter für Heizstäbe
WICHTIGER HINWEIS!
Installieren Sie den Abstandhalter für
Heizstäbe wie in Abbildung 4 gezeigt.
Der Abstandhalter verhindert, dass sich
die Heizstäbe gegenseitig berühren,
und verlängert so deren Lebensdauer.
NOTE!
Install heating element separator as shown
in figure 4. The separator prevents heating
elements from touching each other which
improves the lifespan of heating elements.
