It is suggested that you lay out all of the components so that it is easy to identify the pieces once you get started with assembly.
FLOOR ASSEMBLY
Begin assembly by placing the three base frames on the floor (1). Using your
rubber mallet, install the dovetail key into both corners (2). You will need
access to the rear of the sauna, so ensure it is far enough away from a wall
to gain access.
WALL ASSEMBLY
Begin assembling walls by placing salt stone wall with ventilation hole on the
rear base on the right-hand side (3). Place a 90° corner post next to the salt
stone panel (4). Fasten corner post to the wall panel using screws through the
predrilled holes in the corner post (5-6). 
Place a solid wood wall panel next to the corner post (7). Fasten this panel
to the corner post using screws and predrilled holes as done above (5-6). Now
place two more similar panels next to it. Then place a wooden panel with
multiclips into the side on the front right corner (8). Now slide the right
front corner post down over the multiclips on the wall panel (9). Make sure
the corner post is fully locked into place; tap top with rubber mallet if
necessary. 
Now place the remaining three salt stone wall panels on the back wall (10).
Similar to (4-6) above, place the corner post and fasten using the predrilled
holes (11-12). 
Assemble the left wall using wooden panels as (7-9) above. Fasten the first
panel to the corner post using screws through predrilled holes in corner post.
Place two more wooden panels, followed by a wooden panel with multiclips
(13-14). Now place the left corner post by sliding the multiclips over the
clips on the end panel (15). Make sure the corner post is fully locked into
place; tap top with rubber mallet if necessary. 
Finish the wall assembly by inserting a screw through the top on an angle to
connect the middle panel to the adjacent outer panels (16-18). Red lines below
show the direction to install the screws. 
SALT WALL LIGHTS
Screw in a light bar clip roughly 6” in on each end, above and below the salt
blocks (19). Also install one midway between these clips, ensure it is line
with the first clips so the light bar snaps into the clips correctly. Snap the
light bars into the clips, with the cord going in the direction of the nearest
outlet (20). Now the sauna can be carefully slid into the final location to
finish the assembly. 
FRONT GLASS ASSEMBLY
Take the solid piece of glass with and apply the aluminum “U” channel to the
bottom, then place into the groove on the left corner post. (21). Repeat for
the side piece of glass with hinge holes on the right side. Orient the glass
so the holes are towards the middle (22-23).
NOTE: Door can swing either direction, to change swing direction, swap
these two pieces of glass. 
Place the header over the glass panels and insert the dowel pins into the
predrilled holes in the corner posts (24-25). You may need to tap slightly
with the rubber mallet to fully insert the pins into the holes. 
Fasten the header to the corner posts by inserting a screw on an
angle on both ends (26). ROOF ASSEMBLY
Locate the four roof support slats. Measure in 4” and 27” from both ends and
drill a hole using 1/8” drill bit (27).
Screw roof supports top of each wall using holes you drilled in previous step;
ensure the top of the support is flush with the top of the wall (28-30).
Place one of the roof panels that has a notch on three sides onto the roof
support slats (31-32). 
Next to it, place the two panels that have one tongue edge and one groove
edge, and match the edge with the first panel you placed (33). Then carefully
slide the last roof panel into place (34). 
Fasten the roof panels to the roof support slats using screws (35).
BENCH ASSEMBLY
In each inside back corner, measure up 32-1/4” from the floor and make a mark
(36). Place the top of a short bench support brace at the mark, running from
the back corner towards the front (37). Repeat for right side bench support.
Back on the left wall, measure up 14-1/8” and make a mark (38). Place the top
of a long bench support on the mark, running towards the front and fasten into
place (39). 
Place the bench screen mounting slats beneath the front end of the bench
support slats installed above (37) and fasten into place (40). Repeat for
right side wall. On the right wall, measure 13-1/4” from where the top bench
support stopped, towards the front wall. Place the medium bench support
starting at that mark, running towards the front and fasten into place (41).
Place the ventilation cover over the hole in the wall panel and fasten into
place (42). 
Place a long bench onto the lower bench support braces and another on the
upper braces (43-44). Tilt up so its leaning against the back wall. (44-45).
Place the bench screen in front of the screen mounting slats and fasten (45-46
).
Locate the shorter upper bench panel and bench end trim. Fasten the trim to
the end of the bench that will be facing the glass wall panel (47). Place the
post bench attachment in the corner on the end you installed the end trim and
fasten into place (48). Place the post over the bench attachment and tighten
the set screw (49). 
Place the bench on the bench support (41, 50) and fasten into the long upper
bench (50-51). Slide the rubber boot onto the base of the bench support post
(52). 
BACKREST INSTALLATION
From the top of the long bench measure up 11”, this will be the placement for
the bottom of the long backrest. Place the bottom of the long backrest at the
11” mark and fasten into place (53,54). Repeat for the short back rest.
ROOF TRIM INSTALLATION
Place the roof trim pieces on the front and left-hand sides (55). Front left
corner should have 45° mitered corner when placed correctly (56). Fasten to
roof my installing screws down through top of trim (57). 
DOOR INSTALLATION
Place the hinge on the outside of the sauna, and then the plate on the inside
and fasten together (58-59). Complete for both hinges. 
Measure 1-3/4” over from the solid glass panel on the gasket and make a cut
(60). Measure over another 3/8” of an inch and cut again, remove the piece of
gasket and install the magnet catch (61). Have someone hold the door and
attach using hinges and process used above (59, 62). Once door is fastened
with both hinges, close the door and ensure the catch aligns with the magnet
(63). Slide the metal catch on the door as required to align with magnet.
When installing the door handle, the metal part is out the outside of the
sauna and the wooden on the inside. Place a plastic spacer between the metal
and the glass, and then another between the wood and the glass. Place the
screw through the hole in the wood and loosely screw it into the metal piece
(64). Place spacers on the bottom as done for the top and loosely fasten this
as well (65). Finish tightening screws so door handle is tight and straight
vertically. 
FINAL THINGS
- Once assembly is complete, sweep and vacuum the inside of the sauna. Wipe down the entire interior with a damp cloth to remove any remaining dirt, dust and debris. Do not use any cleaning supplies, unless they are specifically for sauna use.
- The salt stones will attract moisture, which will cause the formation of salt crystals. Clean the salt crystals regularly with a damp cloth, do not sure cleaning supplies on the salt stones.
HEATER – Please see heater manual.
TRADITIONAL SAUNA USE
- Congratulations! You are ready to enjoy your sauna! You may use your sauna in a wet or dry fashion. A dry sauna means you do not sprinkle any water onto the stones, while wet means you increase the humidity of the room by sprinkling water on the stones. Please note that not much water is needed to achieve a wet sauna experience. The sauna as we know it originates in Finland. The typical sauna experience follows the steps below, but you may enjoy your sauna in any way you like!
- Set your heater so your sauna achieves the desired temperature. This is typically160-185+°F. Please note, novice sauna users should begin at the lower end of that range and increase their high temperature over time.
- Take a quick shower or a quick dip in a hot tub or pool.
- Step into the sauna and enjoy for 5-15 minutes, bringing a towel to sit or lay on. Leave the sauna once you are perspiring freely.
- Take a plunge in a pool, shower, snowbank, lake – anything that will cool you down! After that, relax and cool down for 10-20minutes.
- Step into the sauna again. During this visit, you may wish to sprinkle small amounts of water onto the stones to create bursts of steam. If water spills through the heater to the floor, you are using too much water, though this will not hurt the heater or the sauna.
- Continue repeating this process. After your final visit to your sauna, relax for at least 20 minutes. Shower with warm water initially, finishing with cool water to close your skin pores.
- Prepare to feel refreshed for the day or to have an amazing night’s sleep! Whatever your sauna routine, it is imperative that you STAY HYDRATED!
