Newport Hybrid Sauna
Installation & Owner’s Manual
Pre-Assembly Suggestions
While you can move the completed Newport very gently by sliding it across the
floor, we suggest that you assemble the sauna in the location where you plan
to use it.
Terms such as “left” and “right” refer to the location when facing the
completed sauna from the front, or glass side.
Place the floor section in the location where you will want the sauna and
position the rear wall so that it is on the outside of the floor section as
shown
- Find the rear wall sections, left and right, and position so that they are outside the floor section. You can distinguish left and right by the upright boards beneath the heater panels as shown in image
- Clip the buckles on the back side of the rear wall sections to draw them together
- Find the right wall section (with single heater panel) and position so that it is outside the floor section and aligns with the rear wall section (4).
Screw the right wall section to the rear wall using the 3” screws as shown
(5).
Find the left wall section (with three heater panels) and position so that it
is outside the floor section and aligns with the rear wall section.
Screw to the rear wall using 3” screws.
Figure (6) shows the inside of the sauna after side and rear walls are in
place.
Note: The floor section is not attached to any of the walls (6).
Position the right bench support to the outside of the long vertical board on
the rear wall (7).
Screw the right bench support in place as shown (8).
Find the front lower bench support with single heater.
Place the left side between the vertical boards on the left wall and position
against the vertical board on the right bench support as shown. Screw in place
(9).
Plug one of the wires from the rear wall section into the wire from the bench
support. This connection will power the floor heating panel located on the
front bench support (10).
Place the lower bench over the front and right bench supports. It will be
supported by the bench supports as well as vertical support boards located on
the side wall and right-side bench support (11).
Find the front upper bench support. Position and screw in place as shown.
Plug into second wire coming from rear panel (12).
Place the upper bench in place which will be supported by side and rear wall
horizontal supports and right-side bench support (13).
View of interior of sauna after benches are in place(14). Secure the back rest
to the rear wall using 2” screws.
Note: Be sure the back rest is level and positioned approximately 2”
above the bench (15).
Find the 2 vertical front wall frame pieces which have slotted brackets as
well as 2 horizontal frame pieces with notched tongues protruding from the
ends (16). Using a rubber mallet, gently tap the side frame pieces into the
lower horizontal frame piece (17).
Screw the horizontal frame piece to the vertical frame piece as shown (18).
Lean the partially completed front wall frame against a wall with the
horizontal support at the floor.
Note: the vertical frame pieces should have the wide part of the slotted
bracket down and the narrow slot up (19).
Find the two front glass panels and place them in the grooves on the lower
horizontal support and the end supports as shown.
Note the window with the hinge holes in the side. Be sure the holes are
to the center of the front wall of the sauna, on the left or right side
depending on which way you want the door to swing (20). Position the top
horizontal frame piece, ensuring that the glass is in the grooves and the
tongue fits into the groove on the vertical frame pieces.
Screw into place as shown (21).
With two people, position the assembled front wall section so that the pins
align with the slots (22).
Gently lift the front wall section so that the pin will insert into the large
portion of the slot at the top, middle and bottom of each side (23).
Then lower the wall section so that the pin slides into the narrow part of the
slots.
This will secure the front wall section to the left and right wall sections.
Use a rubber mallet if necessary, to assist in lowering the front wall section
to the height of the left and right wall sections (24). Find the heater wire
connections at the top of the panels and move them so they lay to the outside
of the sauna for now.
This is so that they do not interfere with positioning the roof section (25).
Find the roof section and remove the thin protective dust cover that is
secured with small screws.
Place the roof section over the top of the sauna and lower between the walls
so that it rests on the supports at the top of the wall sections.
Note: The power boxes on the top side of the roof should be to the rear
of the sauna (26).
Connect the heater wires, laying the wire into the groove that is cut into the
roof section.
This will ensure that the dust cover can be reinstalled without interfering
with the wires.
Be sure that the wires plugs are fully connected and seated securely into the
receptacles (27).
Screw the roof section into the rear and side wall sections as shown.
Use 4 screws on the rear and two on each of the side walls (28). Feed the
power connectors through the holes in the dust cover and reposition the dust
cover over the roof section.
Re-attach the dust cover to the roof section (29). Find the door handle and
disassemble (30).
Reattach the door handle to the holes located in the glass door.
Note: Tighten screws until they are snug, but not overly tight (31).
Find the two door hinges and hex wrench and disassemble the hinges (32).
Reattach the hinges to the door, tightening with the hex wrench so they are
snug.
Note: You may have to loosen the screws again when the door is attached
to adjust the fit of the door.
Once the fit is completed you may tighten the screws in the hinges (33).
Place the door into the opening and attached the hinges to the door the same
way you did to the window.
You will likely need to loosen some hinge screws on the door and/or window to
align and get the correct fit (34).
Attach the magnetic door latch to the top of the door frame. Note: Do not
fully tighten the door latch until you are sure that the door will properly
secure to the latch (35).
Slide the metal catch over the door to align with the magnetic door latch as
shown (36). Install the traditional heater according to the instructions in
the heater manual.
This will include mounting the heater to the wall of the sauna with mounting
screws, with the bottom of the heater being approximately 7” from the floor of
the sauna.
Be sure that the screws are at the same height (37).
Lower the heater onto the mounting screws (38).
Assemble the heater fence (39).
Place the heater fence in front of the traditional heater (40). WARNING:
Never operate the infrared heaters and the traditional heaters at the same
time. Operate one or the other, depending on the type of sauna you would like
to enjoy.
CONTROL OPERATION
Power On/Off
Turn on the system by pushing and holding the Power button for 4 seconds until
the green lights on the display are lit. Turn the system off by pushing the
Power button a second time for 1 second. The red light on the Power button
indicate the system is turned off. All of the sauna functions will only
operate when the system is on and the panel is green.
Infrared Heater Operation
With the display on, press the Heater button, which will immediately turn
green. This indicates that the infrared heatpanels are heating. To adjust the
temperature, press the Temperature (-) or Temperature (+) to raise or lower
the set temperature. The temperature is displayed in Celsius, with the lowest
temperature setting being 30°C (86°F) and the maximum temperature setting
being 70°C (158°F). Pressing the temperature buttons will raise or lower the
temperature by 1° each time the button is pressed. After 8 seconds the display
will indicate the actual temperature in the sauna.
The heaters can operate to a maximum of 60 minutes, and you can adjust the
heating time with the Time (-) or Time (+) buttons. You will add 1 minute to
the time each time you press the Time button. After 8 seconds the display will
show the time remaining. When there are 5 minutes left in the cycle the timer
will sound 3 times to remind you that your session is ending. When the heaters
turn off after 60 minutes you can reset the timer if you wish to keep the
heaters on for another cycle.
Bluetooth Function
To activate Bluetooth, press the Bluetooth button which will immediately turn
green. Turn on the Bluetooth function on our Bluetooth device and pair to BT
Audio. You can now listen to music from your device and control the volume
from your device. The speakers are located above the ceiling and are not
visible from inside the sauna.
Lighting
To turn on the overhead light, press the Light button, which will immediately
turn green on the display. The color of the overhead light will be the same as
when the unit was last turned off. The light has 9 settings which display as
L1-L9. The settings are as follows: L1=white, L2=red+blue, L3=blue,
L4=blue+green, L5=green, L6=green+red, L7=red, L8=all colors, L9=fade from
color to color. To change the light setting press the Light button and hold
for 5 seconds. Then press the button and let go to get to the setting you’d
like. The system will exit the Light function after 8 seconds.
High Temp Limit
You should never operate the infrared and traditional heaters at the same
time. The infrared system will not operate if the temperature in the room is
80°C, so be sure the room cools off after using the traditional heater before
operating the infrared heaters.
Sensor Fault Detection
An EO indicator on the display panel means there is an open circuit and you
should check your circuit breaker to be sure it is not tripped. The plug on
your infrared sauna requires a 20amp dedicated circuit.
An E1 indicator on the display panel means that there is some sort of short in
the circuit, and you should contact your electrician.
Read this entire manual through to the end before proceeding with the
assembly.
Thank you for your purchase of your Hampton indoor sauna!
Should you have any questions during assembly,
please feel free to call us at 888.355.3050,
or email sales@almostheaven.com.
Regular business hours are 9-5 EST, M-F.
Your Hampton Indoor Sauna is specifically designed to utilize your existing
floor. As such, assembly is made very simple since the entire sauna sits on
pre-fabricated rails and risers. Your sauna can be assembled on any surface
that is firm and flat, including concrete, ceramic, vinyl, laminate or tile.
Installation on a carpeted surface is not recommended.
NOTE: Your Newport hybrid sauna requires two dedicated 20 amp outlets for
proper operation. A separate hard-wired 220V, 30 amp circuit is required for
the traditional sauna heater.
