SALUS SAUNAS 120VAC 20 Amp Dedicated Circuit Required Owner’s Manual

SALUS SAUNAS 120VAC 20 Amp Dedicated Circuit Required

Product Information

Specifications

• Model: Carbon Sauna
• Indoor Use Only
• Power: 120VAC
• Amperage: 20 Amp
• Dedicated circuit required

Benefits

• Because infrared rays penetrate the body through conversion, there is a deep heating effect in both the muscle tissues and internal organs without putting too much burden on the heart.
• Our body reacts to the increased heating through the natural cooling process of perspiring. Through the perspiration process, acid and waste residue like toxins, sodium, alcohol, nicotine, cholesterol, and the potentially carcinogenic heavy metals are removed from the cells (especially zinc, lead, nickel, cadmium, etc). The pores of our skin open and discharge waste products shedding any old skin cells leaving the skin glowing and clean, with improved tone, elasticity, texture, and color.
• Over the last 25 years, Japanese and Chinese researchers and clinicians have completed extensive research on infrared treatments and have reported many provocative findings. In Japan, there is an infrared society composed of medical doctors and physical therapists dedicated to furthering infrared research. Their findings support the health benefits of infrared therapy as a method of healing.
• Benefits include, but are not limited to:
  • Pain relief from Rheumatoid Arthritis
  • Relaxing muscle spasms
  • Increases blood circulation
  • Cardiovascular conditioning
  • Clears rashes, acne
  • Reduces cellulite
  • Removes toxins and mineral waste
  • Reduces stress and fatigue
  • Enhances skin tone

   Exit the sauna immediately if you feel dizzy, sleepy, or any discomfort.

WARNING! Do not place anything combustible close to heater, above the heater, and on both sides of the heater. This includes but not limited to towels, lights, robe hooks, accessories, etc. Nothing should be on the same wall as your heater that is combustible.

WHAT ARE INFRARED RAYS?

• Infrared is the band of light we perceive as heat. We cannot see this band of light with the naked eye, but we can feel this type of light in the form of heat. Our sun produces most of its energy output in the infrared segment of the spectrum. Infrared rays heat your body without having to heat the air in-between. This process is called conversion.
• The infrared is divided into 3 segments by wavelengths measured in microns: near infrared: 0.76-1.5 microns; middle infrared: 1.5-5.6 microns; and far infrared: 5.6-1000 microns. Among these segments, only far infrared penetrates organic substances such as the human body two to three inches so that the warming effect is very uniform.

ARE INFRARED RAYS SAFE?
Because infrared rays are part of sunlight, they are not only safe but also highly beneficial to our bodies on a cellular level. Health professionals have used infrared heat lamps for decades to treat muscle and joint problems. In hospital baby care units, incubators are often equipped with infrared heating systems to keep newborn babies warm.

HOW IT WORKS

• Infrared Saunas differ from traditional saunas in that they use infrared radiant energy to directly penetrate into the body’s tissue to produce perspiration.
• Traditional saunas use steam to heat the air inside the sauna, which then heats your body until you begin to perspire. In order for this to be effective, temperatures would need to reach in the upwards of 190 degrees Fahrenheit. Infrared saunas only need a temperature of up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit to obtain the same effect. This lower temperature makes the environment more tolerable and allows you to breathe easier.

BENEFITS

• Because infrared rays penetrate the body through conversion, there is a deep heating effect in both the muscle tissues and internal organs without putting too much burden on the heart.
• Our body reacts to the increased heating through the natural cooling process of perspiring. Through the perspiration process, acid and waste residue like toxins, sodium, alcohol, nicotine, cholesterol and the potentially carcinogenic heavy metals are removed from the cells (especially zinc, lead, nickel, cadmium, etc). The pores of our skin open and discharge waste products shedding any old skin cells leaving the skin glowing and clean, with improved tone, elasticity, texture, and color.
• Over the last 25 years, Japanese and Chinese researchers and clinicians have completed extensive research on infrared treatments and have reported many provocative findings. In Japan, there is an “infrared society” composed of medical doctors and physical therapists dedicated to furthering infrared research. Their findings support the health benefits of infrared therapy as a method of healing.

Benefits include, but are not limited to:

• Pain relief from Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Relaxing muscle spasms
• Increases blood circulation
• Cardiovascular conditioning
• Clears rashes, acne
• Reduces cellulite
• Removes toxins and mineral waste
• Reduces stress and fatigue
• Enhances skin tone

DISCLAIMER
The infrared rays emitted by your sauna are reported to offer a wide range of possible therapeutic benefits based on research completed over the last 25 years from all around the world. These benefits are presented for reference purposes only and no implication of infrared saunas creating a cure for or treating any disease is implied nor should it be inferred. If you have a health condition, are taking prescription drugs, or have acute joint injuries, please consult your physician before starting infrared therapy. Persons with surgical implants (metal pins and rods, artificial joints, silicone, or other types of surgical implants) typically do not experience any adverse effects, but should also consult their physician or surgeon before starting infrared therapy.
WARNING: Visually inspect all heaters before assembly to make sure they are not damaged. Any excessive vibrations during transport could cause damage to the heating elements. DO NOT START the sauna if damage is detected! Contact your dealer or manufacturer for troubleshooting and replacement parts.
CAUTION: Exit sauna immediately if you feel dizzy, sleepy, or any discomfort.

In addition, the guide and guide inserts are used to connect the LEFT SIDE WALL PANEL and RIGHT SIDE WALL PANEL to the FRONT WALL PANEL. (see Figure 3)

Wood Guide Inserts on the Floor Panel
The FLOOR HEAT EMITTER PANEL is typically located towards the front of the sauna room. The arrows in Figure 4 below are indicating where the wall panels will be placed up onto the FLOOR PANEL. All models will have the raised ¼ round molding on the top side of the FLOOR PANEL. The floor heater cord should be towards the rear on the right side. (see Figure 4)

Panel Descriptions

For easier installation, please understand and distinguish the differences between each panel.

Floor Panel
When you place the FLOOR PANEL at its designated location, leave enough space so that you are able to move around the FLOOR PANEL in order to install the sauna wall panels. To identify the front of the FLOOR PANEL, see the diagram below. (see Figure 5)

Understanding The Wall Panels
The SIDE WALL PANELS will have a single stationary glass panel in each of them. The REAR WALL PANELS will have 3 heat emitter panels each. Both REAR WALL PANELS will have heater cords coming from the top of each wall panel which will be connected on the roof once the ROOF PANEL is placed on top. The external buckles on the sauna room will connect the REAR WALL PANELS to each other and the REAR WALL PANELS to the LEFT SIDE WALL PANEL and RIGHT SIDE WALL PANEL. The guide and guide inserts will connect the LEFT SIDE WALL PANEL and RIGHT SIDE WALL PANEL to the FRONT WALL PANEL. (see Figure 6 and Figure 7)

Roof Panel
The ROOF PANEL houses the power supply, speakers and reading lamp. Once installed, all the wiring harnesses, plugs, and connections will sit on the exterior side of the roof panel.

Assembly Instructions

Please note that your sauna has been completely assembled and tested at the factory prior to packaging. Please further note that the rear wall panel is intentional warped as part of the overall design. Two adults will be needed to assemble the sauna room.

Choose a good location to assemble the sauna

1. The location must be dry, leveled, and away from any source of water

2. MAIN POWER cord must be easily accessible

3. Two adults are required for installation

4. Wood cabin installation order: Floor Panel → Front Wall Panel with Glass Door → Right Side Wall Panel → Left Side Wall Panel → Rear Wall Panel → Bench Heat Emitter Panel → Bench
   → Roof Panel → Roof Cover

5. Tools Required: Philips Screwdriver and Ladder

Installing the FLOOR PANEL
Place the FLOOR PANEL on the floor. Some models have wood braces that must be installed on the underside of the FLOOR PANEL. Please check to see if such wood braces were packed in the box containing the FLOOR PANEL. If so, mount according to the designated labels located on the underside of the FLOOR PANEL. Once installed, turn the FLOOR PANEL right side up. Make sure the front side of the FLOOR PANEL is facing the correct direction. (see Panel Descriptions)(see Figure 8)

Installing the FRONT WALL PANEL, RIGHT SIDE WALL PANEL, and LEFT SIDE WALL PANEL
Place the FRONT WALL PANEL up and onto the FLOOR PANEL. Align the guide and guide inserts on the FRONT WALL PANEL and the LEFT SIDE WALL PANEL (or RIGHT SIDE WALL PANEL as the order of installing the side wall panels is not important). Once aligned, lift the LEFT SIDE WALL PANEL up and onto the FRONT WALL PANEL. Pull down on the LEFT SIDE WALL PANEL to make sure it is snug and locked into place. Make sure the top of the two wall panels are flush with each other. Do the same for the RIGHT SIDE WALL PANEL (or LEFT SIDE WALL PANEL depending on which side you installed first). (see Figure 9) Please note that the black protection corners used to protect the corners of the glass door can be removed and discarded.

Installing the REAR WALL PANELS
Remove any protection paper/tape from the external buckles. Place the RIGHT REAR WALL PANEL up and onto the FLOOR PANEL. Next, attach the RIGHT REAR WALL PANEL to the RIGHT SIDE WALL PANEL using the buckles to latch together. Now you can place the LEFT REAR WALL PANEL up and onto the FLOOR PANEL. Attach both sides of the LEFT REAR WALL PANEL to the LEFT SIDE WALL PANEL and RIGHT REAR WALL PANEL. (see Figure 10 and Figure 11)

Installing the BENCH HEAT EMITTER PANELs and BENCH

1. Slide down the longer of the two BENCH EMITTER PANELs by lining up its sides with the vertical guides on the RIGHT SIDE WALL PANEL and LEFT REAR WALL PANEL. Make sure it slides all the way down. Next, do the same with the short of the BENCH EMITTER PANEL. Feed the heater cord of the shorter BENCH EMITTER PANEL through the hole in the longer BENCH EMITTER PANEL and connect it into the rear wall outlet. Also, connect the heater cord of the longer BENCH EMITTER PANEL into the rear wall outlet. Then connect the heater cord coming out of the FLOOR PANEL into the rear wall outlet. Please note that you will have one extra outlet that will not be used on your model sauna. (see Figure 12)

2. Now you can install the BENCHES by sliding them over the horizontal bench guides on the rear wall panels. Make sure to install the BENCHES with the smooth and finished sides facing up. You will want to first install the longer of the two BENCHES. You will need to slide it in at an angle as seen in Figure 13. Once the longer BENCH is installed, you can install the shorter BENCH. Make sure both BENCHES fit snug up against the rear wall panels. (see Figure 13)

Installing the ROOF PANEL

1. The side of the ROOF PANEL with the power supply (control box) is the top of the roof panel.
2. The edge nearest the power supply is typically towards the front of the ROOF PANEL. Be careful of the wires coming from the SIDE and REAR WALL PANELS when you set the ROOF PANEL down onto the panels. Feed the wires through the holes in the ROOF PANEL. Feed the control cable and buzzer plug up through the ROOF PANEL.
3. Be careful not to force the ROOF PANEL into place. Make sure that the wires are properly fed through the holes. Furthermore, make sure the ROOF PANEL sits snugly onto all of the wall panels. Pull down on the ROOF PANEL slightly to make sure it is secured in place. (see Figure 14)

Connecting the plugs on the ROOF PANEL

1. Connect the plugs according to their respective labels. (see Figure 15)
2. Connect the CTRL plug from the power supply box to the CTRL plug from the control panel. Then screw together. (see Figure 16)
3. Connect the buzzer connection. (see Figure 17)

Assembling the RADIO BOX

1. Locate the wood sides for the Radio Housing Box. There is one for the front, side, and bottom. (see Figure 18)
2. Attach “A” on side panel with “A” on bottom panel and insert screws.
3. Attach “B” on front with “B” on side panel and “C” on front panel with “C” on bottom panel and insert screws.
4. Screw the Radio Housing Box to the REAR PANELS. The back opening (the larger opening) on the Radio Housing Box will face the RIGHT REAR PANEL. The front opening (the small opening and where the CD/radio is inserted) on the Radio Housing Box will face the LEFT SIDE PANEL.

Installing the RADIO (radio model subject to change)

1. Locate the RADIO and remove it from any packaging. (see Figure 19)
2. Connect the plug from the RADIO with the plug coming down from the roof and the left/right speaker plugs. (see Figure 20)
3. Connect the antenna plug to the RADIO. (see Figure 21)
4. Insert the RADIO into the RADIO BOX. It is not necessary to mount the RADIO once you slide it into the RADIO WOOD BOX because the radio will just sit in place. (see Figure 22 and Figure 23)

Installing the TEMPERATURE SENSOR and optional accessories (varies by model)
Enter the sauna and remove the protective covering (masking tape) from the TEMPERATURE SENSOR. Situate the TEMPERATURE SENSOR so that it is vertical and pointing downward.(see Figure 24

Note: Some sauna models are shipped with a spare TEMPERATURE SENSOR in case the TEMPERATURE SENSOR is damaged during transit. The manufacturer decides this according to sauna models and packaging.

Putting on the ROOF COVER
Place the ROOF COVER over the top of the sauna. Be cautious when pulling the power cord through the hole in the roof cover. Gently place the ROOF COVER onto the ROOF PANEL. When the edges are aligned, screw the ROOF COVER to the roof panel. (see Figure 25)

Operating the Sauna

NOTE: Before the sauna is turned on, remove plastic protective covering from the CONTROL PANELS. Please check and confirm that the connections to the POWER SUPPLY, HEAT EMITTERS, CD/RADIO, and TEMPERATURE SENSOR are connected properly. The power supply voltage and frequency must match the requested voltage and frequency of the sauna (120VAC 15AMP Dedicated Circuit or 120VAC 20AMP Dedicated Circuit).
Since many materials absorb the infrared rays, minimal clothing is recommended for maximum effect. The infrared sauna emitters are designed to heat you and not necessarily the air inside the sauna. It is not a hot box like a traditional sauna. The temperature gauge is a guide for your safety. It is recommended that you drink water before, during, and after sauna use to prevent dehydration since body fluids will be lost through perspiration. It is not recommended to shower after use since the pores in your skin will be open and could possibly absorb anything in the water.

• 0C/0F: Press to change the temperature display between 0C/0F

1. Plug the sauna into the outlet receptacle.
2. Press the POWER button once. The POWER light will come on, the TIME DISPLAY will show 90 (minutes), the TEMPERATURE DISPLAY will show 66 (degrees Celsius), and the control panel will flash.
3. Press the up/down arrows under the TIME DISPLAY to adjust the amount of time you want the sauna to remain on. Press the C/F button to choose between Celsius and Fahrenheit. Press the up/down arrows under the TEMPERATURE DISPLAY to adjust the temperature setting. Once you have set these adjustments to the desired settings, press the START/WORK button. If you don’t press the button for 5 seconds, the control panel will stop flashing and the set-up values will be memorized. The WORK and HEAT lights will now be on and the emitters will now be generating heat. You will need to pre-heat the sauna room to the set temperature before entering. Please keep in mind that you will increase the time it takes for the sauna room to reach the set temperature if you enter the sauna room before it has reached the set temperature.
4. During your sauna session, set-up time will count down the minutes one by one. When the time remaining is 5 minutes, the buzzer will make a warning sound for approximately 15 seconds letting you know you only have 5 minutes remaining. At this point, you can let the time run out or adjust the time by pressing the up/down arrows under the TIME DISPLAY. If you do choose to adjust the time, the control panel will flash and the emitters will stop generating heat. Once you set the time to the desired setting, then press the START/WORK button twice and the control panel will stop flashing and heat will began coming from the emitters once again. (Models with Power Supply 2 will not have this feature.)
5. Heating times do vary. Generally, it will take approximately twenty to thirty minutes to preheat the sauna to 50 degrees Celsius / 122 degrees Fahrenheit. When the ambient temperature is low, heating requires additional time. For the first few times of use, you may use 46 degrees Celsius /115 degrees Fahrenheit as a reference starting point for a time period of about 15 minutes (this represents the actual time you are in the sauna at the desired temperature). As you become more comfortable and familiar with the sauna, you can increase the temperature and time period according to personal preference.
6. When the temperature is at the set-up value, the digital control will maintain the set temperature. The WORK light will remain on and the HEAT light will turn off. The emitters will stop generating heat. Once the inside temperature drops approximately 4 degrees, the HEAT light will turn back on and heat will again be generated by the emitters. With the digital control, the inside temperature will always remain around the set-up value.
7. Reading lamps and/or roof lamps and/or color therapy lamps are operated by pressing the respective buttons located towards the center of the control panel. These lamps are offered on some models and are not available on all models.
8. Chromotherapy/Color Therapy Lighting (optional/not available on all models) can be operated as follows. First, you will need to install the battery. Once the battery has been inserted into the remote, you are ready to operate the chromotherapy/color therapy lighting system. Press the READING LIGHT button on the sauna control panel. The white light will come on. While pointing the remote at the ceiling light, you can press any of the colors on the remote and that color will be displayed. You can use the SHADE button on the remote to go through a sequence of colors. If you want to turn the light off during your sauna session, you can press the POWER button on the remote. Please note: You must be inside the sauna room for the remote to work.

Tips for using Your Sauna

1. If you take a hot/warm shower or bath before using your sauna, you may perspire more and experience more comfort.
2. Drink water prior to, during, and after your sauna session to replenish body fluids.
3. To regulate the set temperature inside the sauna to your comfort level, use the movable roof ventilation or leave the door open slightly. The roof ventilation is installed on the sauna and used based on personal preference.
4. Use 2 or 3 towels during your sauna session. Fold one of the towels several times and place it on the bench. This towel will absorb some of your perspiration while adding comfort as you sit on the bench. Place another towel on the floor to absorb perspiration as it falls from your body (only on Ceramic Model Saunas). Be sure not to place any towels over the floor heat emitters. Use a third towel to wipe perspiration from your body from time to time.
5. At the first sign of a cold or flu, increasing your sauna sessions may be beneficial in boosting your immune system and decreasing the reproductive rate of viruses.
6. To help relieve sore and tense muscles, massage the affected areas during your sauna session.
7. To treat your ankles and feet more effectively, you can elevate them and move them close to one of the heat emitters to achieve a deep heating effect.
8. To utilize the sauna’s heat therapy effect, put oil or treatment into your hair and wrap it with a towel. After your sauna session is over, rinse your hair thoroughly. Please follow the product directions for the intended benefits.
9. The peaceful and relaxed state rendered by a sauna session may help you to sleep easier and deeper.
10. To conserve energy consumption, please unplug your sauna when not in use.
11. After the sauna session is over, do not jump into the shower or bath immediately. Because your body was heated up during the sauna session, it will continue to perspire even after the heat emitters are off. Sit in the sauna with the door open slightly and let your body cool down. Once your body has cooled down and you feel comfortable, you can exit the sauna. After about twenty minutes and when your body has completely cooled down, you can take a shower to rinse the perspiration off your body.

Safety Instructions

1. Read and follow all instructions carefully before using the sauna.
2. When installing and using the electrical equipment, safety precautions should always be followed.
3. To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to use the sauna unless they are closely supervised at all times by an adult.
4. Do not use the sauna immediately following strenuous exercises. Wait at least 30 minutes to allow the body to cool down completely.
5. Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should contact their physician prior to using the sauna. Excessive temperature has a high potential for causing fetal damage during pregnancy.
6. Hyperthermia Danger: the normal body temperature can’t rise above 39°C (103°F). Symptoms of excessive hyperthermia include dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness, and fainting. The effects of excessive hyperthermia may include failure to perceive heat, physical inability to exit sauna, unawareness of impending hazard, unconsciousness and fetal damage in pregnant women. Hyperthermia could make your body’s core temperature rise. Setting desired temperature to an excessively high temperature is not recommended.
7. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medications prior to or during the sauna session may lead to unconsciousness and/or other harmful physical injuries .
8. Persons suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician prior to using the sauna.
9. Persons using medications should consult a physician before using the sauna. Some medications may induce drowsiness while others may affect the heart rate, blood pressure, and/or blood circulation.
10. Exercise care before and after sauna use.
11. Never sleep inside the sauna.
12. Do not use any type of cleaning agents on the interior of the sauna. Only wipe down with a cloth and water.
13. Do not stack or store any object on top or inside the sauna.
14. If the power supply cord becomes damaged, it must be replaced immediately by the manufacturer or its agent. If you find the power cord is too hot or that the electrical equipment may be experiencing technical problems, please contact the manufacturer or its agent immediately to avoid hazardous conditions.
15. Do not use the sauna during an electrical storm to avoid risk of shock.
16. Do not continuously switch the power on and off as it will compromise the life of the electrical components.
17. Your hands must be dry and free of moisture before plugging and unplugging cords and wiring harnesses from the power supply and circuit boards. Never operate the sauna with wet hands or wet feet to avoid risk of electric shock. Never touch the metal prongs of the plug.
18. Do not attempt to make any repairs yourself. If a problem occurs with the sauna, please contact seller, distributor, or the manufacturer to avoid safety risks. Unauthorized repair attempts will void manufacturer’s warranty.
19. Please make sure the outlet power supply meets the specifications required. Failure to meet the requirements may cause safety risks.
20. Some sauna models are equipped with reading and roof lamps. Because the lamp temperature will become very hot once powered on, do not attempt to touch the lamp to avoid being burned. Do not attempt to touch it for at least 20 minutes after it has been powered off.
21. Do not pour water or any other liquids on the infrared emitters. Do not bump, hit, or break the heating elements as it may cause an electrical short and pose a safety risk.
22. Do not make any modifications to the sauna, the sauna structure, or the sauna components.
23. Prior to each sauna session, the sauna room is to be inspected for correct operation. If for any reason your sauna room does not seem to be operating properly, discontinue use and contact the manufacturer.

Safeguards For Your Sauna

1. Do not install the sauna near water, near a bathtub, near a shower, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.
2. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleansers inside the sauna. Unplug the sauna from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use plain water and a soft cloth for cleaning.
3. The power supply cord should be routed so that it is not walked on or pinched by any object that may be placed against it.
4. When replacement parts are required, be sure they meet the specified requirements of the manufacturer. Unauthorized substitutes may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazardous conditions. After any repairs, please ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that your sauna is working properly.
5. Do not use any wall receptacle adapter or extension cord between the sauna cord and wall receptacle.

Troubleshooting Guide

• No Heat Coming From Some Of The Heat Emitters
  • Solution: Check to make sure all the heat emitter cords are properly connected, including the cord to the heat emitter underneath the bench (if applicable). Go to the roof, and also check that the heat emitter cords are properly connected to the cords on the roof and that those cords are properly plugged into the power supply.
  • Solution: If some of the heat emitters are working, then the ones which are not working may have been damaged. Do not continue to operate. Contact the manufacturer for replacement parts.
  • Solution: If the heat emitters are not working but the control panel displays the time and temperature (temperature is displaying “32” F / “0” C, then the temperature sensor may not be plugged in properly or it may be damaged. Turn the control panel off and then go to the roof of the sauna and locate the red and black wires near the air vent towards the rear of the sauna. After you have located the red and black wires labeled “TEMP SENSOR”, disconnect the connection. Connect the spare temperature sensor. For testing purposes, insert the “TEMP SENSOR” (you just connected) down the vent on the roof so that it is now inside the sauna. Then go to the control panel and press the power button. If the heat emitters now have heat, then the “TEMP SENSOR” was the cause of the problem. You may have to wait about five minutes to confirm if the heat emitters are generating heat. Remove the original temperature sensor from its hole and replace it with the spare one.
• Control Panel Malfunctioning
  • Solution: The control panel will turn on, but will not turn off. Go to the roof and locate the connection labeled “CTRL”. This was connected when the roof was placed on top of the sauna room. Disconnect the connection, check to make sure none of the pins are bent or pushed in, and reconnect making sure it is snug and tight. Test the control panel to determine is the problem has been resolved. If the problem continues, contact the manufacture for additional troubleshooting.
  • Solution: The control panel will not turn off, the power/work/or heat lights do not come on, or the temperature and timer buttons do not work means the control panel may have been damaged and will need to be replaced. Contact the manufacturer for additional troubleshooting.
• Sauna Shows Signs Of No Power
  • Solution: There could be one of a few problems causing this. First, check to see if the cord from the power supply is plugged into the wall outlet. Also check your main circuit breaker to confirm that it has not tripped. Check the power supply on the roof of the sauna to make sure there are no signs of malfunctioning, such as a high temperature, burning odor, or strange sounds. Also, check to make sure none of the power cords are damaged. If the power supply is malfunctioning or power cords are damaged, then unplug the sauna immediately and contact the manufacturer.
  • Solution: If your sauna is plugged in and you have no power at the control panel, then the power supply may need to be reset. Go to the roof of the sauna and locate the power supply. Press the RESET button to reset the power supply. The RESET button is on the same side of the power supply as all the heater cord connections. Attempt to turn the sauna on at the control panel. Contact the manufacturer for any additional troubleshooting.
  • Solution: There could be damage to the temperature sensor. If your sauna arrived with a spare temperature sensor, turn the control panel off and go to the roof of the sauna and locate the red and black wire near the air vent towards the rear of the sauna. After you have located the red and black wires labeled “TEMP SENSOR”, disconnect them. Connect the spare temperature sensor. For testing purposes, insert the “TEMP SENSOR” (you just connected) down the vent on the roof so that it is now inside the sauna. Then go to the control panel and press the power button. If the heat emitters now heat, then the temperature sensor was the cause of the problem. You may have to wait about five minutes to confirm if the heat emitters are generating heat. Remove the original temperature sensor from its hole and replace it with the spare one.
  • Solution: Check the wiring harnesses coming from the power supply located on the roof of the sauna. Make sure the wiring harness labeled “CTRL” is connected to the power supply at one end and connected to another wiring harness labeled “CTRL” at the other end. If this wiring harness is not properly connected, then the sauna will show signs of having no power. Disconnect the “CTRL” harness connection, check to make sure none of the pins are bent or pushed in, and reconnect making sure it is snug and tight. Test the control panel to determine is the problem has been resolved. If the problem continues, contact the manufacture for additional troubleshooting.
  • Solution: If your sauna is plugged in at all times and you recently had a power outage and the sauna has not been on since the power outage, you may have experienced a power surge which may have damaged the power supply/control box located on the roof of the sauna room. Contact the manufacturer for additional troubleshooting.
• CD Player Will Not Work (Optional/Not Available On All Sauna Models)
  Solution: Check to make sure the lock screws on top of the radio have been removed. The CD player will not work if the screws are not removed.
