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 ceramic stones or other artificial stones of any type! Stones
should not be too soft or spongy like soap stones that may crumble easily.
1.2.1 Loading stones into the heater
It is recommended to rinse all stones to remove any stains or dust that can cause unpleasant
odor during the first few times of using the heater. It is important that the stones are loaded
carefully in a way that they do not block air circulation through the heater (Fig. 4). Larger stones
that will not 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 onto the heater since they will block the heaters air circulation and cause overheating and
possible heating element damage.
NOTE! Heating element damage due to overheating caused by wrong kind of stones or stones
which were wrongly loaded onto the heater is not covered by the factory warranty.

Using the Combi Heater
Before turning on the Combi Heater make sure there is nothing on the heater or nearby that may
start burning. For further safety instructions refer to section 1.7. Odor is emitted from the stones
and the heater when it is turned on for the first time. To remove the odor from the sauna room
ventilate until the air is free from unpleasant smell.
It is important to choose the correct power rating of the Combi Heater corresponding to the
sauna room size. Section 5 helps to make the right Combi Heater choice. A properly selected
heater increases the temperature of the sauna room and stones to reach the bathing temperature
in about one hour.
If the heater selected is ‘overpowered’ the sauna is heated up faster than the stones, which let part
of the water thrown on the stones run through the stone tank. An ‘underpowered’ heater raises
the sauna temperature too slow. Water thrown onto the stones does not raise the
humidity
in the
sauna but cools the stones and causes the sauna room temperature to decrease.
It is important to have suitable insulation and wall materials for your sauna. Refer to section 2
for guidance. The bathing temperature should preferably be within the range of 65 to 85° C while
the steamer is switched off.
