SAUNA HEATER

Use ordinary drinking water only,other materials poured into the stone compartment may damage the heating elements,which is beyond our guarantee

SAUNA ROCKS
Load adequate sauna rocks (10-15kg) into the sauna heater after finishing the installation of sauna heater and controller. ATTENTION :Sauna rocks must be of finest qualities because temper-ature inside sauna heater is extremely high. Rocks not be able to withstand heat and the great heat changes easily break or get crumbling and damage the heating elements, or are easily oxidized which in return counteract the heat circulation and damage the sauna heater while being heated or being thrown water to for vapors causes.

WARNING

1. Electrical shock hazard —— there are no owner serviceable parts in sauna heater. To avoid electrical shock hazard, all installations and relevant services shall be performed by qualified personnel.
2. Sauna shall be less than half an hour. Bathing too long may cause heart beating too fast, light heartache, feeling weak or dizzy. Should the bather stop bathing immediately as soon as the above symptoms occur.
3. Sauna bath may cause tension to the bather. Thus, one who is one of the followings should be directed by physician:
   • A. Being pregnant
   • B. Having heart disease
   • C. Having high blood pressure
   • D. Having circulation system disease

4. Children must be under the company of adult in taking sauna bath.
5. Risk of scald: Must not touch the sauna heater or trim during heating, as it is hot. Stay at least 30 cm away from the hot heater.

Heating Elements 230V/240V

1. L L1 L2 L3 Connection ports of live wire
2. N Connection port of neuter wire
3. Connection port of grounding wire

Installation
Install the sauna heater onto the wall with the screw provided in the heater,according to the min-imum safety distances and volumes indicated in table 1 and figure 1, or on the plate of the heater.

• The heater can be installed in the wall recess at the minimum height of 1900mm.
• Do not cover the wall behind the heater with materials like asbestos or eternit plates etc, because this sort of covering protection could cause too temperature and a risk of burn.
• Must use qualified materials for the walls and ceiling.

Guard Rails
Please follow the minimum distances requirements in figure 6 if guardrails are desired around the heater.

Connection of Electricity Supply Cable
Only the qualified electrician may conduct the electricity supply connections of the heater’s cables taking into consideration of current,valid electrical safety regulations. The connecting cables of the mains supply to the heater must be of REVE rubber insulated cables or at least an equiva-lent(see the figure 2).There are connection ports in the junction box in sauna heater to connect the indicating lamps outside sauna (see connection ports of circuit diagram in figure 7). The section of the connecting cables is same as the one of the heater. The electricity connection box in sauna room must be of a hermetic,splashing proof type with a 7mm diameter condensation hole. The junction box should not be more than 500mm over the floor.

Sauna stones
Since the sauna stones may be dusty,we recommend that they should be rinsed before being loaded into the heater container. The sauna stones should be placed in such a way that the smaller stones are first placed between the heating elements and then the large stones on top of them. Make sure that the smaller sauna stones placed at the bottom will provide support for the large sauna stones and won’t put weight on the heating elements. This will prolong the life of the heating elements. Do not load the stones too tight so that air can easily move between the stones whereby a good even cooling can be got for the heating elements. Reload when stones broken or crumbling so that these stones can be got out of the heater before the heating elements get damaged. The diameter of the stones is usually of 5-10 cm.

Temperature Control
The thermostat can control the temperature in an ideal condition (figure3). Sauna heater can reach o a preset temperature in 30 to 60 minutes depending on the size of sauna room Thermostat of three phases electricity can fulfill the preservation of a good even comfortable temperature in sauna room.

Power Switch
The power switch is the main power switch of sauna heaterwhich should be switched off while leaving sauna.

Ventilation
Good ventilation is a must for the sauna,and correctly installed ventilation creates agreeable bathing conditions,but yet still save energy.For the ventilation to be successful it is important where the ventilation openings are suited. The fresh air intake should be better situated on the wall near the bottom of the sauna heater. The diameter of air inlet must be at least 6 cm. The exhaust opening should be better situated on the wall opposite to and as for as possible from the air intake. The diameter of the exhaust opening must be twice the size of the intake. The exhaust opening must be situated under the botom of the upper benches.
Noted: the upper screws must be fastened tight, the minimum distances between screw head and wall must be 3mm.
