EOS Organic W
Sauna Heater

Assembly and operating instruction
Made in Germany

Dear customer,
You have purchased a high-quality technical device with which you will have years of sauna fun. This sauna heater was designed and inspected according to the current European safety standards and manufactured at the factory in accordance with the quality management standard DIN EN ISO 9001:2015.
This detailed installation and operation manual has been prepared for your information. Please in particular thoroughly read the important notes and the information on electrical connection.
We wish you exhilarating recreational experience and lots of fun with your sauna!

Intended use

This sauna heater is exclusively intended for the heating of sauna cabins in private or commercial use (public sauna), in combination with an appropriate control unit.
Any other use over and above the intended purpose is not considered as appropriate use! Compliance of the standard operation, maintenance and repair conditions is also an element of appropriate use.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for deviating, unauthorized alterations and any resulting damages: the initiator of these changes bears the full risk.

General information

Please check whether the unit has arrived in perfect condition. Any transport damages should be immediately reported to the freight forwarder delivering the goods or you should contact the company that shipped the goods. Please note that you will only be able to achieve an optimum sauna climate if the cabin with its air intake and ventilation, the sauna heater and the control unit are aligned to each other. Please observe the information and stipulations made by your sauna supplier. Sauna heaters heat up your sauna cabin using heated convective air.
Here, fresh air is drawn in from the air intake which, when heated, rises upwards (convection) and is then circulated within the cabin.
Part of the used air is pushed out through the vent in the cabin. This creates a typical sauna climate which can achieve temperatures of approx. 110°C measured directly under the ceiling of your sauna, dropping in temperature to approx. 30-40°C towards the floor. It is therefore not unusual to measure temperatures of 110°C on the temperature sensor hanging over the heater, whilst the thermometer hanging on the sauna wall, approx. 20-25 cm under the cabin ceiling, only indicates 85°C.
The bathing temperature generally lies between 80°C and 90°C in the area of the upper bench when the temperature is set to maximum. Please note that the highest temperatures are always generated over the sauna heater and that the temperature sensor and the safety limiter must be mounted there in accordance with the control unit installation instructions.
When heating up for the first time, you may notice a slight smell caused by evaporating lubricants used in production processes. Please ventilate your cabin before beginning your sauna bath.

Important notes

• ****Unprofessional installation may cause a fire hazard! Please read these installation instructions carefully. In particular, please observe the dimensions stated and the following notes.

• This device can be used by children aged 8 upwards and by persons with physical, sensory, or mental disabilities, or who have inadequate experience and knowledge if they are supervised or if they have received adequate instruction  in how to use the device safely and understand the associated risks.

• Children must be supervised to ensure they do not play with the unit.

• Children and persons who have not received proper instruction must not clean or service the system.

• Only specialists may install and con- nect the sauna heater, control unit and other electrical equipment with a fixed mains connection. The necessary protective measures according to VDE 0100 of § 49 DA/6 and VDE 0100 part  703/2006-2 must be observed.

• Sauna heater and controller may only be used in sauna cabins made of suitable, low-resin, untreated materials (e.g. spruce).

• Only a sauna heater with the appropriate power output may be installed in the sauna cabin.

• Please provide air intake and vent openings in each sauna cabin. The air intakes must always be positioned behind the sauna heater, approx. 5 to 10 cm above the floor or as described in the installation chapter. The minimum dimensions of the air intake and vent openings are stated in the table.

• The duct vents are always to be positioned offset diagonally to the sauna heater in the lower area of the rear sauna wall. The air intake and vents may not be covered. Please observe the sauna cabin supplier’s instructions.

• Only the control units specified herein must be used for the operation of the sauna heater. This control unit must be positioned at an appropriate point on the cabin outer wall; the associated sensor must be positioned inside the sauna cabin according to the installation instructions included with the control unit.

• ****Caution: Covering the heater or an incorrectly filled stone container represent a fire hazard.

• The sauna heater must be visually inspected before each use (also by remote control) for a safe condition.

• Inspect the sauna cabin before each use! In particular, ensure that no objects have been stored on the sauna heater or the IR-radiator, if applicable. Risk of fire!

• Caution: The high sauna heater temperatures generated during operation can cause burns.

• The sauna heater is not intended for installation or set-up in a niche, under a bench or under a sloping roof.

• Do not put the sauna heater into operation when the air intake is closed.

• The cabin lighting and the corresponding installation must correspond with the “splash protected” version in accordance with DIN EN VDE 0100 T 703. Therefore, only VDE-tested sauna light with max. 40 Watt may be installed in connection with the sauna heater.

• Only a locally certified electrician may connect the sauna facility (sauna heater, control unit, lighting etc.) to a fixed mains connection.

• All electrical installations and all connection lines that are installed inside the cabin must be suitable for an ambient temperature of at least 170 °C. If single-wire cables are used as connection lines, they must be protected using a flexible metal tube connected to the equipment grounding conductor. Please see the table for the minimum cross-section of the connection cable and the suitable cabin size in relation to the power input in kW.

• When installing the sauna heater, please ensure that the vertical clearance between the sauna heater upper edge and the sauna ceiling is maintained. Please see also the dimensions diagram for the clearance between the lower edge of the sauna heater and the floor. On heaters with bases, this clearance is maintained via the base or legs of the device.

• The sauna heater may not be placed on a floor made of easily flammable material (laminate, synthetic flooring, etc.). Ceramic tiles are recommended as a flooring option. Floor heating in the sauna cabin increases the surface temperature of the flooring. Please see the dimensions information for the respective sauna heater for the clearance between the heater protective grating or the bench and other flammable materials. The heater protective grating must roughly accord with the front height of the sauna heater. Please also observe the information and instructions provided by the cabin manufacturer. Please take precautions when cleaning components with sharp edges. Upright heaters need to be fitted on site with elements that prevent them from overturning.

• Attention: Pour the infusion water only on the sauna rocks and never anywhere else.

• ****When using your sauna in a dry Finnish mode never add sauna essences or place any herbs into the vaporizer holder for essences/herbs. Fire hazard!

• ****Never add more essences or vol- atile oils than advised on the packaging.
  Never use alcohol or undiluted concentrates. Caution! Fire hazard!

• When designing the cabin ensure that the external exposed glass surfaces only reach a maximum temperature of 76°C. If necessary, protective features need to be fitted.

• Please note that the wooden surfaces in the areas exposed to high heat are subject to possible discolourations (e.g. darkening of wood).

Electrical connection
Using the above-mentioned wiring diagram and the information on the wiring circuit adhered to the respective control system, your electrician will be able to connect the system without further instructions. Please note that, for safety reasons, power cables may not be laid visibly on the interior walls of the cabin. Most sauna cabins have empty ducts fitted into the wall element with the air intake. If no empty ducts are available in your cabin, drill a sufficiently sized hole in the cabin wall directly next to the place where the cable exits the sauna heater and guide this cable outside through the hole to the control unit. The cable, and all other connecting cables (mains power cables and cabin lighting), should be installed in installation ducts or also be protected against damage on the outside of the cabin e.g. by laying them in installation pipes or attaching wood cover strips. The sauna heater, when made use of time pre- set and remote control, may only be used with an appropriate cover protection or any other safety device. Remote control – means settings, switching, control and adjustment of the sauna control unit by means of commands transmitted from a remote location beyond sight distance using telecommunication, wire- or wireless signal transmission systems, network and similar systems. (this also includes timers) (from EN 60335-1)

Caution!
Dear Customer,
In compliance with the valid regulations, only certified electricians may connect the sauna heater and the sauna control system to the mains power supply.
Please note that you must provide a copy of the invoice from the electrical company who installed the sauna in case of a warranty claim.
To preserve the right of a warranty claim, only original spare parts of the manufacturer may be used.

Heating time limitation

Heating time limitation functions
All sauna heaters, except for those installed in public saunas, and which must be operated under the supervision of personnel, must be equipped with a timer that complies with IEC and EN standards. This timer fully disconnects the sauna heater from the power supply for safety reasons. It is typically integrated in the sauna control units. The timer must be mounted outside of the sauna cabin and may not be overridden.

• The operation time of a public sauna must be limited so that the heating elements are without power for a minimum of 6 consecutive hours within a 24-hour period.
• Units used in private saunas must be limited to an operating time of 6 hours, and an automatic restart is not permitted.

Minimum distances

• The minimum height of the sauna cubicle should be 190 cm on the inside (Fig. 1)
• When you install the sauna heater you must ensure that the vertical distance between the top edge of the sauna heater and the sauna ceiling is at least 90 cm and that the horizontal (at the side) distance between the heater and cabin wall is at least 5 cm (Fig. 2)..
• The distance from the heater grid and the bench to other inflammable materials near the heater must be at least 5 cm. The heater grid must be more or less the same height as the front of the heater.

The heater safety system does not belong to the scope of delivery and has to be ordered separately.

• Center wall mounting over the air intake vent as in Fig. 2 and bolt onto cabin wall with the particle board screws provided.
  

Attention! Make sure to provide an air intake vent below beneath the sauna heater. The air intake vent and the exhaust air vent should have the appropriate size as per heater power:

Make sure there is a stable fresh air supply through the air intake vent.
The lack of the sufficient fresh air supply may cause overheating and lead to damages of the sauna heater. The warranty will be void in such case.

• Open the cover of of the terminal box – remove 2 screws. (Fig. 4)
  

• Complete the connections as shown in the circuit plan. The circuit plan is affixed close to the mains terminal.

• Connect the unit to the control unit. Make certain that you have complied with the local legal norms for safety and electric connections.

• Close the terminal box with the cover and close the spacer to the outside. For this purpose, use 2 sheet-metal screws.

• Hang the sauna heater with the two hexagonal heads (1) at the rear side of the heater into the wall bracket (2) and place it on the two spacers (3). (Fig. 5)
  

• There must be a clearance of approx. 2 mm between the screw head and the rear wall of the stove in order to attach the sauna heater. (Fig. 6).
  

• Attach the enclosed heat reflection panel as shown in Fig. 7. To do this, first remove the two screws on the top cover and then reuse them again to fasten the cover.
  

• Secure the sauna heater to the wall bracket by inserting a sheet-metal screw through the hole positioned at the rear edge of the heater. (Fig. 8)
  

Sauna stones

Sauna stones are a natural product. Check the sauna stones at regular intervals. Aggressive sauna essences can weaken the sauna stones and cause them to break apart over time. Consult your sauna supplier if necessary.
Wash the stones with flowing water thoroughly and put them into the stone basket in a way that they do not exercise excessive pressure on the heating elements and that the air can still freely circulate through the stones.
The quantity of stones is sufficient to create a steam shock, vaporizing about 10 cl of water per m³ cabin volume. Always wait at least 10 minutes after an infusion before repeating it.
Only then the sauna stones will re-heat sufficiently again.
By daily commercial use we recommend to check the condition of sauna stones every 2-3 months and to reshuffle them.
By home use the sauna stones need to be checked and reshuffled at least once per year.

Caution! Fire hazard!
Never add more essences or volatile oils than advised on the packaging. Never use alcohol or undiluted concentrates.
Filling the sauna heater with stones:

Maintenance and care

The sauna heating unit is made of low-corrosion material. To enjoy your sauna heating unit for a long time you should ensure maintenance and take due care about the heater. Always make sure that the air supply vents and reflection surfaces in the area of air intake are free. These can easily become clogged with fuzz and dust when drawing in fresh air. This reduces the air convection in the sauna heating unit and can be a cause of too high temperatures.
Clean or de-scale the heater when needed. Refer to your sauna supplier or directly to the manufacturer in case of defects or signs of wear and tear.
Only use original manufacturer‘s replacement parts, which can be obtained from your supplier or directly from the manufacturer.
If you did not use your sauna for a long period of time, always check before next use that cloths, cleansers or other objects have not been left on the sauna heating unit or the vaporizer before turning them on.

Please be sure to note!
Do not insert sauna stones too tightly in the rock store. Place them loose, leaving as many spaces as possible to allow the free flow of hot air for circulation purposes. Sauna stones should not exercise excessive pressure on the heating elements or be wedged between them.
Remove stones from the sauna heater only when they cooled down.
It cannot be excluded that hot stones or parts of them fall out of the rock store.
Risk of fire!

For the installation of sauna heaters, please pay attention to the DIN VDE 0100 part 703 or the corresponding national norms and legal requirements, e.g. U L875 norm!
This standard makes the following statement valid in your newest expenditure, since Febru­ary 2006, paragraph 703.412.05; Quotation:
The addition must be planned for all electric cir­cuits of the Sauna by one or more fault current protection device (RCDs) with a calculation differ­ence stream not more largely than 30 mA, exclud­ed of it is Sauna heating.
The EN 60335-1 DIN (VDE 0700 part 1):2012-10 states the following in paragraph 13.2; quote:
The leakage current may not exceed the following values during operation:  – for stationary heaters of protection class I 0,75 mA; or 0,75 mA each kW input of the appliance, depending on the higher value, at a maximum value of 5 mA. _
_If the appliance is equipped with a protective device for leakage current (ELCB), please pay at­tention to the fact that no other electrical units will be protected by this ELCB.
Under current manufacturing technology, it is not reasonable to use heating elements for sau­na heaters which do not collect moisture from the surrounding air. It is therefore possible that a little bit of moisture from the surrounding air may reach the magnesium-oxide filling in the heating elements during transport or storage and may cause the ELCB to release.
In this case the heater must be heated up un­der supervision of an expert, during which the Ground conductor is not connected. After about 10 minutes, when moisture has evapo­rated from the heating elements, the heater must be reconnected to the Ground conductor!
If the sauna heater is not in use for a significant period of time, we recommend running it every 6 weeks, so as to avoid moisture concentrating in the heating elements.
Therefore, should the ELCB be released during start-up, the electrical installation must be checked.
Installation of the sauna heater and control unit must be undertaken only by an authorized and appropriated qualified electrician.

Recycling
Devices or lighting elements that will not be used any longer have to be handed in at a recycling station according to regulation 2012/19/EU. Do not dispose it with the normal household waste.
