INSTRUCTION FOR USE AND INSTALLATION
Saunum Pro Experience heater with a sauna room indoor climate device

THE BEST SAUNA EXPERIENCE TO HAVE!

• am very glad that you have invested in the Saunum device, and I believe that our innovative technology will offer you a wonderful and extraordinary sauna experience.
• I have a degree in thermal engineering and come from the Southern Estonia, where my love for saunas began. The special feature of local historic smoke saunas is the lower temperature and higher humidity level than, for example, a classic Finnish sauna. In ordinary saunas, the stone volume of the sauna heater is generally small. Such an arrangement can cause a sudden, burning hot steam and an extremely uneven temperature, where your head and shoulder level is really hot, but your feet are left cold. Such an experience can be quite unpleasant and may cause headaches and lead to body stress. However, in ancient smoke saunas and Native American saunas, the stones were first heated during the day.
• Then the heat stored in the stones was used to cleanse the body and create a truly enjoyable sauna experience.
• Inspired by the experience of a smoke sauna, I wanted to create an innovative solution that combines the best features of an authentic sauna with modern technology; enabling a pleasantly mild and relaxing sauna experience without painfully scorching steam. For that, however, I had to solve the problem of how to achieve an even temperature, at both the head and foot levels. My development work was supported by research done alongside Tallinn University of Technology,  in which we analysed the thermal stratification and air movement in the sauna room. Saunum was born in cooperation between scientific thinking and technological innovation.
• Saunum’s unique patented mixing system of air layers captures the hot steam that rises under the ceiling of the sauna room, mixes it with the cooler air from the surface of the floor, and directs the milder steam back evenly. This makes for an enjoyable, unaggressive heat. You can sit in the sauna for a longer time, and enjoy a sweat and a deep cleanse without feeling tired. The stone volume of our heaters is significantly larger than other sauna heaters, which is the reason for the especially pleasant indoor climate with long and soft steam.
• A moist steamy sauna, a sanarium, a therapeutic salt sauna, or a healthy aroma sauna – all of these functions are available on Saunum’s devices to create a truly relaxing sauna experience. When using Himalayan salt balls in our device, salt ions that are beneficial to skin and respiratory tract evaporate and the steam circulates these into the air. Adding a sauna aroma system that blends steam and healthy aroma oil creates an even more enjoyable sauna environment.
• Saunum’s sauna devices are suitable for both adults and children.
• Have a pleasant sauna!

HEATING THE SAUNA ROOM

• Before using the sauna climate device for the first time, make sure that:
  • the electrical connections meet the requirements;
  • the supply voltage corresponds to the nominal ratings allowed for the sauna climate device;
  • the protective earth (PE) is in working order;
  • the attachments of the sauna climate device housing are in order;
  • the sauna climate device is properly attached to the wall;
  • the over-current fuses are in working order;
  • the fan rotor rotates smoothly;
  • there are no tools or materials left after mounting the device in the housing.
• When switching the sauna climate device on, check:
  • the direction of the air flow – the air intake from the upper and the output from the lower opening;
  • that there is no vibration or excessive noise when the fan is running.
• When the sauna climate device is switched on for the first time, the heaters and the stones will emit an odour. The sauna room must be properly ventilated to remove the odour.
• If the power of the heater is suitable for the sauna room, it takes 45-90 minutes to reach the desired temperature in a properly insulated sauna room. The stones are usually heated to the steam temperature at the same time as the sauna room. Only switch the device fan on just before entering the sauna room – this will help to prevent the sauna bench from overheating and an excessive energy consumption. Saunum’s recommended temperature for sauna operation is 65 ° to 80 °C.

USING THE SAUNA CLIMATE DEVICE

• NB! Before switching the sauna climate device on, always make sure that nothing is above or near it.
• The operating time of the sauna climate device model Saunum Pro Experience may be adjusted by a separate control device.

Do not connect the device directly to the mains!

• The sauna climate device must not be used if the components of its housing have been removed and/or the wiring diagram has been changed.
• Children should not be allowed to access or play with the sauna climate device.
• When switching the sauna climate device on and off, refer to the instructions for use of the control device you are using.

NB! After using the sauna, make sure that all parts of the sauna climate device are switched off (the heating and the fan have stopped).

ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE

• NB! It is recommended to keep the air circulation fan of the sauna climate device switched off during the heating of the sauna room!
• In this case, the sauna room heats up faster and the sauna bench does not get too hot during the heating. To find the right setting, start testing at the lowest temperature and lowest airflow rate. If the temperature becomes too high while in the sauna room, reduce the maximum temperature in the sauna room or the fan speed of the sauna climate device.

REGULATION OF THE SAUNA CLIMATE

• The amount of air circulation generated by the device is regulated by the same control unit that is used for heating control.
• The airflow speed increases by adjusting it on the control unit you may choose between three different speeds.
• To regulate the air temperature in the sauna room, there is a steam air cooling damper on the left side of the heater housing, lower than the device stone area (see page  21). The recommen ded setting is to keep the cooling damper 1/3 open. To cool the steam, try to open the damper little by little.

USE OF HIMALAYAN SALT BALLS

• The sauna climate device comes with Himalayan salt balls. The use of salt balls in the device is optional and does not affect the main function of the device.
• To use the salt balls, they must be installed in the sockets between the air outlet grille and the fan. Make sure that the salt balls are installed correctly and do not impede the fan rotation.
• To install or remove the salt balls, remove the front panel (see page 29) and place the salt balls in their sockets. After installing or removing the salt balls, reposition the front panel.
• The sauna climate device may only be used with the front panel in place!
• Do not use/start the device if the salt balls get into the fan housing!

NB! The use of third-party salt balls is not covered by the device warranty.

THROWING WATER ON THE HEATER

• The air in the sauna becomes dry as it heats up. Therefore, it is necessary to create steam to achieve a suitable level of humidity. The effects of heat and steam on people are different. When testing the different settings of the sauna climate device, you will find the most suitable combination of temperature and humidity. The effects of heat and steam on people are different. When testing the different settings of the SAUNUM climate device, you will find the most suitable combination of temperature and humidity.
• The volume of the sauna ladle should not exceed 0.2 litres. When throwing water, the amount of water should not exceed 0.2 litres, because by pouring too much water on the stones at once, some of it may be sprayed outwards in splashes of boiling water.
• Make sure that people are at a safe distance from the heater when creating steam! Hot steam and water splashes cause skin burns.
• The water to be thrown onto the heater must meet the requirements for clean domestic water. Only fragrances specially designed for a sauna may be used in the water. Follow the instructions on the package.
• NB! Do not pour water into the ventilation openings of the sauna climate device!

LOADING THE STONES

Stacking stones has a great effect on the operation of the heater.

• Important to know:
  • The diameter of the stones must be 5–8 cm.
  • Only stones sold for saunas are intended for use in the heaters.
  • Do not use light, porous ceramic “stones”, or soft tiles in the heater. They do not store enough heat when heated and can result in damage to the heating elements.
  • Wash any dust off the stones before placing them in the heater.
• NB! When using Saunum equipment, we always recommend doing so with high-quality polished sauna stones!
• When loading the stones, note:
  • Do not allow the stones to fall into the heater.
  • Do not force the stones between the heating elements.
  • Do not allow the stones to rest on the heating elements with their own weight, but load the stones so that they support each other.
  • Do not stack the stones on the heater.
  • Do not place objects in the vicinity of the stone area or the fan of the sauna climate device that may change the amount or direction of the air flowing through the sauna climate device.

WARNINGS

• Staying in the sauna room for a long time raises your body temperature, which may be dangerous to your health! Do not touch the hot heater – the stones and the outside of the heater may burn you!
• Do not allow children, disabled or sick people into the sauna room without supervision!
• Consult a doctor about medical contraindications to steam!
• Consult a doctor about medical contraindications to salt treatment!
• Make sure you are not allergic to salt treatment. Saunum is not responsible for the side effects of salt treatment!
• Consult a paediatrician or family doctor about the presence of children in the sauna room!
• Be careful when moving in the sauna and sauna room, as the bench and the floor may be slippery!
• Do not go to the sauna under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or narcotics!
• Do not sleep in the hot sauna room!
• Sea air and humid climates may cause an oxide layer (rust) on the metal surfaces of the heater!
• Make sure you have proper ventilation in the sauna room. Saunum is not responsible for possible salt corrosion of equipment and machinery. If necessary, consult a specialist!

Do not cover!

• Please note. The electric heater requires a control panel and stones.
• NB! Do not leave the fan of the sauna climate device running when you are not in the sauna room – this will cause an excessive energy consumption, and the sauna bench will become too hot!
• NB! Contact a qualified service specia­list to perform maintenance. In the case of any disturbances in the operation of the sauna climate device, the use of the device must be stopped immediately and the device must be inspected by a person authorised by Saunum.

THE SAUNA CLIMATE DEVICE DOES NOT HEAT OR BLOW AIR.

• Make sure that the heater fuses are in working order.
• Make sure the connection cable is connected.
• Make sure that the sauna climate device is switched on.
• Increase the maximum temperature in the sauna room.

THE SAUNA ROOM HEATS UP SLOWLY. THE WATER THROWN ON THE STONES COOLS THEM DOWN QUICKLY.

• Make sure that the air circulation fan of the sauna climate device is switched off during the heating.
• Make sure that the fuses of the sauna climate device are in working order.
• Make sure that all heating elements are hot (smouldering) when the sauna climate device is operating.
• Increase the selected temperature on the control device.
• Make sure that the power of the heater is sufficient.
• Check the stones. Stones that are placed too tightly, falling down/sinking closer over time, or the wrong type of stone may interfere with the air flow through the heater and therefore reduce the heating speed.
• Make sure that the ventilation of the sauna room is correct.

THE SAUNA ROOM HEATS UP QUICKLY, BUT THE TEMPERATURE OF THE STONES IS INSUFFICIENT. THE WATER THROWN ON THE STONES FLOWS DOWN.

• Make sure that the power of the heater is not too high. If the power of the heater is suitable for the sauna room, it takes 45–90 minutes to reach the desired temperature in a properly insulated sauna room.
• Make sure that the ventilation of the sauna room is correct.
• Reduce the speed of the sauna climate device fan.

THE WALL COVERING OR OTHER MATERIAL NEAR THE HEATER BECOMES DIRTY QUICKLY.

• Observe the safety distance requirements.
• Check the stones. Stones that are placed too tightly, stones falling down/sinking closer over time, or the wrong type of stone may interfere with the air flow through the heater and cause the surrounding materials to overheat.
• Make sure that no heating elements are visible between the stones. If the heating elements are visible, lift the cooled stones so that the heating elements are completely covered.

NB! Too sparsely placed stones allow the heating elements to overheat and worsen the indoor climate of the sauna room. It may cause a fire hazard!

THE WOODEN SURFACES OF THE SAUNA ROOM BECOME DIRTY OVER TIME.

• This process may be accelerated by:
  • sunlight;
  • heat from the heater;
  • wall protectors (protection equipment has poor heat resistance);
  • fine particles from the stones.

THE HEATER SMELLS.

• See section HEATING THE SAUNA ROOM page 8.
• A hot heater may amplify odours mixed with air, but this, however, is not caused by the sauna nor the heater. Causes include paint, glue, oil, spices, etc.

THE SAUNA CLIMATE DEVICE IS MAKING NOISE.

• There is always a certain noise when the fan is running. If it is not uniform and/or accompanied by a metallic sound, the fan is likely to need maintenance or repair. Check that there are no foreign objects in the fan air vents.
• Try switching the fan to a lower speed.
• Loud sounds are likely to be caused by stones cracking due to heat.
• Thermal expansion of the heater parts may cause noise when the heater warms up.

MAINTENANCE

• Due to large temperature fluctuations, stones tend to break down. Stones must be restacked at least once a year and even more frequently when using the sauna often. When restacking the stones, remove stone fragments from the bottom of the heater and replace the broken stones with new ones. By monitoring this, the heating capacity of the heater remains optimal and the risk of overheating is avoided.
• If you use Himalayan salt balls with the sauna climate device, it is recommended to inspect the salt balls once a year and, if necessary, replace worn and broken balls with new ones.
• Make sure that there are no foreign objects in the fan air vents of the sauna climate device.
• CAUTION! Before maintaining and cleaning the sauna climate device, the device power supply must be disconnected from the mains, and the moving parts of the unit must completely stop.
• Before servicing and cleaning the sauna climate device, make sure that:
  • the sauna climate device is disconnected from the mains (in addition to the device’s power switch, also by means of over-current fuses);
  • the device fan has stopped completely;
  • the prescribed occupational safety and personal protective equipment is used when performing the work;
  • the connection cables are undamaged. In the event of damage to the connection cables, have the cables replaced by a qualified electrician in accordance with the applicable standards and requirements before continuing maintenance and cleaning work.
• The device housing can be cleaned with a cloth dampened with water. Do not use pressure washers, running water, chemical cleaners, or solvents to clean the housing!
• Use a 10% citric acid solution to remove scale and rinse with water.
• Excessive dirt can prevent the fan rotor from operating correctly, causing an increase in noise when operating the sauna climate device. Noise may also increase due to damage/bending of the fan blades. Make sure that there are no foreign objects or salt balls in the working area of the fan rotor.
• Generally, the fan does not need to be cleaned more than once a year. The fan may only be cleaned by a person authorised by Saunum.
• Using compressed air to clean the fan can permanently damage the fan rotor! The fan bearings are maintenance-free and must be replaced if problems occur.
• It is recommended to check all electrical connections of the sauna climate device at least once a year. This can be done by a suitably qualified person.

SAUNA ROOM
A prerequisite for the installation of the sauna climate device is a properly prepared sauna room. The thermal insulation of walls and ceilings must be appropriate, other-wise it will take too much time and energy to heat the room. The power supply cables for the heater and the fan must be indicated on the electrical connection board in accordance with Table 1 (see pages 6–7).

SAUNA ROOM VENTILATION

• The air in the sauna room must be changed at least six times an hour.
• When using mechanical air extraction, place the air supply above the sauna climate device. When using natural air extraction, place the air supply under or next to the sauna climate device. The air supply pipe must have a diameter of 80 to 100 mm.
• Install the air outlet near the floor, as far as possible from the sauna climate device. The diameter of the air extraction pipe must be twice the diameter of the air supply pipe. If the air outlet is in the washroom, there must be a gap of at least 100 mm under the sauna room door.
• Exhaust ventilation in the sauna room is mandatory.
• The venting hole for drying (optional) must be installed in the ceiling near the wall oppo site to the sauna climate device (closed during heating and sauna). The sauna can also be dried by leaving the door open after using the sauna. The sauna ventilation system should preferably prevent the sauna exhaust air from entering other rooms, especially when using the sauna climate device with salt balls.

POWER OF THE HEATER

• If there is sufficient insulation behind the wall and ceiling covering, the power of the heater is determined by the volume of the sauna room. Non-insulated walls (brick, glass block, glass, concrete, floor tiles, etc.) need a more powerful heater. Add 1.2 m³ to the volume of the sauna room for each square metre of uninsulated wall.
• For example, a 10 m³ sauna room with a glass door corresponds to the capacity requirement of a 12 m³ sauna room. If the sauna room has log walls, multiply the volume by 1.5. The optimal sauna room sizes for the sauna climate device Saunum Pro Experience are given in Table 1 (see pages 6–7). The height of the sauna room is usually 2,100 to 2,300 mm.
• A protective shield is mandatory if the device is in a room where the ceiling is lower than 2100 mm.
• Safety distances of the primary sauna unit and the recommended location in the sauna room.
• Saunum Pro Experience – A and B 50 mm – model with a closed stone basket.
• The device can be placed with its back­side against the sauna room cladding or panels!
