Instructions for use and maintenance of pre-built modular saunas

1. General installation requirements

2. Your sauna should be installed by a professional installer.

3. The installer of the sauna must familiarize themselves thoroughly with the manufacturer’s warranty terms and the installation instructions.

4. The electrical components of the sauna may be installed and connected only by a qualified electrician.

5. The wooden parts of the sauna must not be in permanent contact with water or the structures of the room.

6. The exterior surfaces of the sauna must not be directly exposed to excessive humidity.

7. The installation site must have proper electrical connections that conform with state and local codes.

8. . On-site requirements – indoor sauna

9. Make sure adequate ventilation is ensured in the room to be used for installing the sauna to ventilate the humidity and warm air created by the sauna.

10. Fresh air supply for the sauna room and heater must also be ensured. Be sure to leave an air gap between the sauna structure and the adjacent structures of the room. This is necessary to avoid formation of condensation between the structures of both the building and the sauna that could damage them and shorten their lifetime. The manufacturer recommends ensuring a minimum distance of 2″.

11. The installation surface must be level and stable.

12. 3. On-site requirements – outdoor sauna

13.  The outdoor sauna is designed to be installed on a pre-prepared level and stable surface capableof bearing the load.

14. Safety distances – you must leave at least a two-meter clearance around the sauna, unless specified otherwise or provided otherwise by the local requirements for similar buildings.

15. If your sauna is delivered pre-assembled, the installation site must be accessible for heavy machinery.

16. Sauna heater and heating stones

17. .Install the sauna heater according to the heater manufacturer’s installation instructions.

18. Install the sauna stones according to the heater manufacturer’s instructions. Installation requirements for the stones may vary depending on the sauna heater selected. As a general rule, the heating elements of the heater must be covered with stones. Pouring water directly on the heating elements will shorten the life of the heater and pose a health risk (hot water splashes).

19. It is recommended to rinse the sauna stones with water before use. This cleans the stones of any possible processing residue.

20. Never use the heater without stone.
    Instructions for use and maintenance of pre-built and pre-assembled indoor and outdoor saunas

21. Finishing and treating the wooden parts of the sauna with a protective agent

22. Before using the sauna, wooden surfaces should be treated with a suitable protective agent.
    The manufacturer recommends using sauna wax or sauna wood oil (paraffin oil).

23. Depending on the installation method used for your sauna and the free space left in and around the sauna, the wooden surfaces can be treated before or after installation.

24. Treating the wood will extend the life of the wood and your sauna, preserving its properties and appearance. Treated surfaces repel water and dirt and are easier to clean.

25. When first starting the sauna

26. Make sure all parts of your sauna are intact and functional after installation and before the first heating.

27. First heating: slowly heat your sauna to a temperature of 210°F under supervision, keep this temperature for two hours and let the sauna cool down slowly. The sauna must be well ventilated during the first heating – it is recommended to leave the door ajar. This is necessary to allow the wood protecting agent to be absorbed into the wood and any residues from production and processing to evaporate from the surfaces.

28. DO NOT STAY IN THE SAUNA DURING THE FIRST HEATING – substances evaporating from surfaces may cause an unpleasant smell.

29. Using your sauna

30. Use the sauna only for the purpose for which it was manufactured.

31. Pour water only on the heating stones.

32. Use the sauna in moderation – it stimulates circulation, relaxes muscles and cleanses.

33. Rinse yourself with water between sauna sessions.

34. Be sure to stay well hydrated before and after your sauna session.

35. General sauna maintenance

36. After each use:

  * Wipe the bench with a damp cloth after.
  * Remove and pools of water from wooden surfaces.
  * If the design of the bench allows it, raise the platforms to an upright position to dry.
  * Let the heater run under supervision for approximately 20 minutes – wooden parts dry more efficiently this way.  

Instructions for use and maintenance of pre-built and pre-assembled indoor and outdoor saunas

2.  **As needed:**
  * Wash the surfaces of your sauna with a Sauna Life Sauna Wood Cleaner according to instructions.
  * Stronger stains can be removed with fine-grained sandpaper. All treated surfaces must be retreated with a protective agent.
  * Repeat treatment of the wooden parts with a protective agent.
  * Check the structures of the sauna (bench fastenings, wall connections) and, if necessary, tighten the fastenings.
  * Have a qualified technician check the condition of the electrical connections and components.
  * Check the function of the door and adjust it, if necessary.
  * Check the condition of the sauna stones: Sauna stones deteriorate over time and should be replaced when necessary.
  * Do not use chemicals or implements not intended for washing the sauna.
  * Washing wooden parts with running water is not allowed.

9. 9. Maintenance of an outdoor sauna

10. Trees and bushes growing near the sauna and a shady location may cause mossing on the
    surfaces. Clean the surfaces with a soft brush and damp cloth, as necessary.

11. In areas with thick snow-cover, remove snow from the roof of the sauna. Do not allow more than 20″ of snow on the roof.

12. 10. Wooden materials in the sauna

13. Wood is a natural material and subject to natural phenomena (differences in grain pattern,
    variations in tone, expansion and contraction due to heat and moisture).

14. Wood may develop cracks or deformations over time. This is natural and does not affect the use of the sauna. If in doubt, contact the vendor.

15. Thermally modified wood emits some scent during the first three heating periods

16. Repair works

17. Damage to wood – scratches and dents up to 1 mm deep:
    · Clean and dry the surface thoroughly.
    · Sand down with 500 grit sandpaper or until dispersed.
    · Clean off dust and treat with a protective agent. The protective agent will even out the colour difference caused by sanding.

18. The following are not allowed in the sauna:

19. Drying clothes or other textiles. Evaporating humidity may damage the wood; and textiles placed near the sauna heater may pose a fire hazard.

20. Heating to a temperature higher than 230°F fire hazard.

21. Never place combustible materials on the sauna heater.
