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

1. General installation requirements
   1.1.Your sauna should be installed by a professional installer.
   1.2.The installer of the sauna must have familiarised themselves thoroughly with the manufacturer’s warranty terms and the installation instructions of the purchased sauna.
   1.3.The electrical components of the sauna may be installed and connected only by a person with the respective certified competence.
   1.4.The wooden parts of the sauna must not be in permanent contact with water or the structures of the room.
   1.5.The exterior surfaces of the sauna must not be directly exposed to excessive humidity.
   1.6.The installation site must have proper grid connection readiness for supplying power to the electrical components of the sauna. Requirements applicable at the installation location (country).

2. On-site requirements – indoor sauna
   2.1.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.
   2.2.Fresh air supply for the sauna room and heater must also be ensured. Be sure to leave an air gapbetween the sauna structures and the boundary structures of the room. This is necessary to avoidformation of excessive condensation between the structures of both the building and the saunathat could damage them and shorten their lifetime. The manufacturer recommends ensuring aminimum distance of 50 mm.
   2.3.The installation surface must be level and stable.

3. On-site requirements – outdoor sauna
   3.1.The outdoor sauna is designed to be installed on a pre-prepared level and stable surface capable of bearing the load.
   3.2.Safety distances – you must leave at least a two-metre clearance around the sauna, unless specified otherwise or provided otherwise by the local requirements for similar buildings.
   3.3.If your sauna is delivered pre-assembled, the installation site must be accessible for heavy machinery.

4. Sauna heater and heating stones
   4.1.Install the sauna heater according to the heater manufacturer’s installation instructions.
   4.2.Install the heating stones according to the heater manufacturer’s instructions. Installation requirements for the heating stones may vary depending on the sauna heater selected. As ageneral rule, the heating elements of the heater must be covered with stones. Pouring waterdirectly on the heating elements will shorten the life of the heater and pose a health risk (hotwater splashes).
   4.3.It is recommended to wash the heating stones with water before installation. This cleans thestones of any possible processing and production residues.
   4.4.Using the heater without the stones is not allowed.

5. Finishing/treating the wooden parts of the sauna with a protective agent
   5.1.Before using the sauna, all wooden surfaces must be treated with a suitable protective agent. The manufacturer recommends using sauna wax or sauna oil (paraffin oil).
   5.2.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 installing the parts but certainlybefore using the sauna.
   5.3.Treating the wood will extend the lifetime of the wood and your sauna, preserving its propertiesand appearance. Treated surfaces repel water and dirt and are easier to clean.

6. Taking the sauna into use
   6.1.Make sure all parts of your sauna are intact and functional after installation and before the first heating.
   6.2.First heating: slowly heat your sauna to a temperature of 100 °C under supervision, keep this temperature for two hours and let the sauna cool down slowly. The sauna must be well ventilatedduring the first heating – it is recommended to leave the door half-open. This is necessary to allow the wood protecting agent to be absorbed into the wood and any residues from production andprocessing to evaporate from the surfaces.
   6.3.Staying in the sauna during the first heating is not allowed – substances evaporating fromsurfaces may cause an unpleasant smell.

7. Using your sauna
   7.1.Use the sauna only for the purpose for which it was manufactured.
   7.2.Pour water only on the heating stones.
   7.3.Use the sauna in moderation – it stimulates circulation, relaxes muscles and cleanses.
   7.4.Rinse yourself with water between sauna sessions.
   7.5.It is recommended to drink mineral water after the sauna to replenish fluids.

8. General sauna maintenance8.1.After each use:
   • Wipe the bench with a damp cloth after.
   • Always remove 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 moreefficiently this way.
   8.2.Once a year or as needed:
   • Wash the horizontal (and, if necessary, vertical) surfaces of your sauna with a special saunadetergent. Use a soft brush or damp cloth and observe the instructions of the detergent.
   • Stronger stains can be removed with fine-grained sandpaper. All treated surfaces must be treatedwith 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, tightenthe fastenings.
   • Have a competent person check the condition of the electrical connections and components.
   • Check the functioning of the door and adjust it, if necessary and possible.
   • Check the condition of the heating stones: when used intensively and especially as they age, theycould emit stone dust that will accumulate on the wooden surface above and behind the heater.Replace the stones, if necessary.
   • Do not use substances or working procedures not suited for washing the sauna.
   • Washing wooden parts with running water is not allowed.

9. Maintenance of an outdoor sauna
   9.1.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.
   9.2.In areas with thick snow-cover, remove snow from the roof of the sauna. Do not allow more than 50 cm of snow on the roof.

10. Wooden materials in the sauna
    10.1. 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).
    10.2. 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.
    10.3. Thermally modified wood emits some scent during the first three heating periods.

11. Repair works
    11.1. 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 colourdifference caused by sanding.

12. The following are not allowed in the sauna:
    12.1. Drying clothes or other textiles. Evaporating humidity may damage the wood; and textiles placed near the sauna heater may pose a fire hazard.
    12.2. Heating to a temperature higher than 115 °C – fire hazard.
    12.3. Placing combustible materials on the sauna heater.

GLASS HANDLING,STORAGE AND THE ABC’S OF CLEANING HANDLING AND STORAGE

1. Taking precautions is generally always cheaper than correcting mistakes later.
2. It is recommended to remove stickers and spacers from the glasses as soon aspossible.
3. It is recommended to use suction cups to lift large glasses.
4. When storing both tempered and non-tempered glass for a long time, thesupporting edge of the glass must rest on a dry and softened surface (e.g., plastic, cardboard, rubber) – the edges of the glass must not be supported directly on thefloor or the ground.
5. When storing several glasses at the same time, there must be spacers betweenthe tempered glasses. Non-tempered glasses of the same size can be supportedagainst each other, in the case of non-tempered glasses of different sizes, pieces ofcardboard must be placed in between.
6. Glasses must be stored in a dry and well-ventilated room away from direct sunlight.
7. The storage conditions are important, because if water gets between the glasses(for example, as precipitation from above or evaporating from the bottom), soda startsto separate from the inside of the glasses, as a result of which they form on thesurface of the glass white spots that cannot be removed. Such glasses belong todisposal.
8. The corners are the weakest point of the glass, so they must be protected withspecial attention. The glass must also be protected from the dangerous effects of the
   external factors listed below.

DANGEROUS EXTERNAL FACTORS FOR GLASS

Construction| First, any glass must be protected on the construction site, where chemical and mechanical factors can permanently damage the glass surface. In the case of glasses in the vicinity, constant air exchange is maintained, the glasses can be covered with a polyethylene film. If there is no air exchange, and the glasses are covered with polyethylene film break due to thermal stress.
---|---
Stickers and spacers| The adhesive on stickers and caps hardens under the influence of solar radiation. If the adhesive contains basic (pH=7.1-14) particles, the result may be a matting of the glass. If the adhesive contains acidic (pH=O-6.9) particles that are not visible on the glass damage, but the damage has been caused by the normal aging process of the glass.
Silicones| Chemically and sandblasted frosted glasses must not contact silicones with containing substances, because this way the surface of the glass becomes transparent and needs replacement.
Wall mixes| During of normal hardening, masonry mixtures often release alkaline (pH=7.1-14) particles that can damage and dull the surface of the glass. Petrified mixture removing it from the glass results in scratching the glass surface.
Concrete splashes| Washing off fresh concrete with plenty of clean water can damage the glass save. On the other hand, removing the dried concrete will scratch the surface of the glass and means replacing the glass.
Acid wash| Hydrochloric acid is used to clean brick and concrete surfaces, which can damage reflective surface coatings and glass missile silicones. Acid washing must be carried out before glazing.
Welding and cutting sparks| If these sparks fall on the surface of the glass, the surface of the glass is permanently damaged and needs to be replaced. Therefore, welding and cutting work is important avoid near glass.
Storage of other materials opposite the glass| Different materials against the glass can scratch the surface of the glass — especially glasses with a reflective coating are sensitive in this regard.
Metal constructions| Aging details of constructions secrete oxides (tin, copper, iron, zinc), which can get on the glass surface with both rain and washing water. Oxides can permanently damage the surface of the glass and the glass must be replaced.
Large temperature fluctuations| As a result of excessively large temperature differences, a large internal stress occurs on the glass, as a result of which the glass cracks, i.e. a thermal break occurs. Thermal breakage occurs when the temperature difference on the surfaceof untempered glass is approx. 40-50°C. To prevent thermalbreakage, it is recommended to temper the glass, becausetempered glass can withstand temperature differences of approx.
150-200°C.
Organic mastics| They can secrete emollients, oils and solvents, which stick very strongly with a glass surface. Organic mastics do not have to beharmful to the glass in direct contact with the glass – it is enough ifwater with residues flows over one glass on the surface of otherglasses.
Running water| If water flows over cement, concrete, plaster before reaching thesurface of the glass, organic coatings or mastics, residues remainon the surface of the glass. Scraps and glass a chemical reactioncan occur between the surfaces, damaging the glass surface.
Hard water| The minerals in the water settle on the surface of the glass andstick to it strongly. Leaving the dried residues of minerals untreated, their later removal turned out to be impossible and the glass mustbe replaced.
Air pollution| Air pollution can contain various chemicals, especially in the case of(acid) rain adhere strongly to the glass surface. Leaving air pollution
unremoved can create a chemical reaction on the surface of theglass to produce matte spots.

GLASS CLEANING

1. Glass should not be cleaned in direct sunlight.
2. The glass cleaning intervals directly depend on the environment surrounding the glassand the degree of soiling of the glass.
3. Glass cleaning includes washing, rinsing and drying.
   3.1 Glass cleaning starts with removing abrasive particles such as dust with clean water.
   3.2 Then use a soft cloth, towel or sponge to apply the cleaning agent to the glass usingcircular motions and applying medium pressure.
   3.2.1 When cleaning satin glasses (i.e., frosted glasses), it must be remembered that evenif only one spot on the glass is dirty, the entire surface of the glass must be cleaned (toavoid halo formation). Do not use when cleaning frosted glasses excess pressure.
   3.3. Rinse with plenty of clean water.
   3.4. Use a clean, soft cloth, towel or sponge to dry the glass.
   3.5. After cleaning the glass, it is also important to remove the residues of water andcleaning agents from the slats, seals and frames in order to prevent damage to these parts.

REMOVAL OF DIFFERENT STAINS FROM GLASSES

1. Grease stains, oils, fats and various sealants – stains can be removedwith a cleaning agent that contains a small amount of alcohol. After using the cleaningagent, be sure to rinse the glass clean with plenty of water.
2. Paints, cement, concrete mix – stains must be removed from the glass as soon aspossible, i.e., before they dry, with plenty of clean water.
3. For small and difficult-to-remove dirt residues, a razor blade can be used with extremecaution, keeping it at a right angle to the glass.
4. The stains cannot be removed by sandblasting from frosted and satin glasses,because the surface of the glasses is permanently damaged and needs to be replaced.
