General
The walls and ceiling of the sauna room must have a high standard of
thermal insulation. Any heat¬-retaining surfaces, such as brick and
stone, must also be insulated. However, any flues that are in use must
not be insulated. You should find out from the fire authorities which
parts of the fire wall should not be insulated. The structural fire safety
distances given in these instructions must be complied with. You must
not, for example, install around the heater any safety panelling or
safety framework that is not part of the sauna heater itself. Wooden
panelling is recommended for lining the walls and ceiling in the sauna
room. If the interior lining of the sauna room includes materials that
retain heat well (decorative stone, glass, etc.), please remember that
this will add to the time taken to heat up the sauna, even if the sauna
is otherwise well insulated.
POWER RATING OF THE SAUNA HEATER
The power rating (kW) of the sauna heater should always be chosen
on the basis of the sauna room size (in cubic metres, m3). Uninsulated
wall surfaces (brick, glass brick, glass, concrete, tile, etc.) will increase
the amount of power required. For each square metre of uninsulated
wall surface, add 1.2 m3 to the volume of the sauna room. For exam-
ple, a 10 m3 sauna room with a glass door corresponds to a 12 m3
sauna room in terms of its power requirement. If the sauna room has
log walls, multiply the volume by 1.5. The minimum and maximum
sauna room volume permitted by the heater’s power rating must be
complied with.
The design of the sauna room must comply with the relevant building
regulations and the guidance given in the RT building information card.
VENTILATION
The ventilation should be such as to renew the air in the sauna room
six times every hour. If the sauna room has mechanical ventilation, the
air intake should be placed above the sauna heater. If the ventilation
is gravitational, the air intake should be placed below or next to the
sauna heater. The exhaust vent should be placed at a level at least
one metre higher than the air intake, on the wall opposite the sauna
heater.
Minimum dimensions of ventilation ducts: air intake duct 75 cm2 (di-
ameter 50 mm); exhaust vent duct 150 cm2 (dia-meter 70 mm). Do
not position the air intake in a way that causes the air flow to cool the
temperature sensor. Do not position the air intake below the heater,
either. The distance between the air intake and the sensor should be
at least one metre (temperature sensor positioning is shown in Fig-
ures 5-6 on page 14).
If the exhaust vent is on the side of the washroom (only if your site
has mechanical air exhaust), the gap between the bottom of the door
and the ground must be at least 100 mm.
The exhaust vent can also be positioned at a height of 300 mm on the
wall opposite the heater. If an exhaust vent is positioned above the
benches, it should be kept closed during heating and bathing.
Sauna ventilation must comply with the E1 regulations in the National
Building Code of Finland and the RT91-10480 guidelines.
SAUNA HEATER
Only one electric sauna heater may be installed in the sauna room. The
installation must comply with the safety distances indicated in Table
1 and Figures 2–4. The sauna room should have a minimum height of
1900 mm. The electrical work for the sauna heater may only be per-
formed by a qualified electrician authorised to undertake such work,
in accordance with the relevant regulations.
SAUNA STONES
Only use stones intended for sauna heaters and recommended by the
manufacturer. A suitable size for the stones is a diameter of less than
10 cm.
The use of ceramic sauna stones is prohibited! The manufacturer will
not be accountable for any damage caused by using ceramic stones
in the heater.
WATER FOR THE SAUNA STONES
The water thrown on to the hot sauna stones must be clean domestic
water. If water with a high salt, lime or iron content is used, this will
corrode the sauna heater. Use of sea water or water with a high chlo-
rine or humus content is prohibited!
Do not use discolouring sauna products, such as sauna scents and
sauna whisks, with decorative stones or a white sauna heater. To avoid
discolouration of the decorative stones or the heater, use water which
is exceptionally clean.
CONTROL UNIT FOR OPERATING THE SAUNA HEATER
The operation of the sauna heater is controlled via a separate control
unit. Suitable control units are the Tulikivi Touch Screen and the pre-
programmed, KNX-compatible Theben Varia unit. The sauna heater
can also be controlled using other KNX-compatible control units. The
sauna heater can also be integrated with a KNX building automation
system. If the building has such a system, the sauna heater will not
necessarily need a separate control unit. Ask the system supplier
whether your building automation system can be used for controlling
the sauna heater.
SAFE USE OF THE SAUNA
Children must not be left in the sauna unsupervised, and children must
not be allowed to go near the sauna heater. Remember to take care in
the sauna, as the benches and floor can be slippery.
Anyone with reduced physical or mental capacity, a sensory impair-
ment or little experience or knowledge of using a sauna heater may
only use the heater under supervision or according to the instructions
of someone responsible for his or her safety.
Remember that spending a long time in the sauna raises the body
temperature. Consult your doctor if you have any health issues that
may restrict your use of the sauna.
The sauna is not intended for drying clothes. Nor is the sauna heater
suitable for heating up food or for cooking. Roasting bags must not be
used on the heater!
Do not throw water on the stones if anyone is near the heater, as hot
steam can cause burns.
Installation instructions
Only one electric sauna heater may be installed in the sauna room.
First, decide where to place the heater. The installation must comply
with the safety distances indicated in Table 1 and Figures 2–4. The
sauna room should have a minimum height of 1900 mm. The heat-
er is on adjustable legs and stands directly on the floor. It should be
screwed (2 screws) to the floor, by attaching the separate metal fas-
teners to the adjustable legs and to the floor. This will ensure that the
safety distances are maintained during use. Make sure that the screw
holes are watertight, and take care to avoid damaging any underfloor
power cables or heating pipes. If any problems arise or you have ques-
tions related to installation, please contact our technical support, tel.
