HEALTH & SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Review all instructions and warnings before operating your sauna. A sauna is not a toy. Serious injury may result from negligence, intentional misuse, and failure to follow safety instructions.
2. Hyperthermia Danger: Hyperthermia occurs when the body absorbs more heat than it can dissipate. Hyperthermia is a medical emergency and requires immediate treatment to prevent disability or death. It is very important not to allow your body’s core temperature to rise above 103ºF. Symptoms of hyperthermia include dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness, and fainting. The effects of hyperthermia may include failure to perceive heat, failure to recognize the need to e xit the sauna, unawareness of the impending health hazard, physical inability to exit the sauna, and unconsciousness.
3. If you are feeling uncomfortable, faint, or dizzy – exit the sauna immediately.
4. Do not exceed recommended time and temperature guidelines.
5. Do not touch or interfere with the temperature sensor on the control panel.
6. Do not touch or spray water on the heater elements.

12. Children over the age of 6 should always be supervised by an adult.

SAUNA ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Begin assembly by determining an appropriate location for your sauna – see ASSEMBLY TIPS & WARNINGS (Page 3) for details. Place the FLOOR PANEL on the floor in this location. NOTE: On your model, the FLOOR HEATER is now pre-installed in the floor (NOT SHOWN)

2. Place the RIGHT SIDE WALL PANEL on the FLOOR PANEL, lining up the SIDE PANEL against the floor trim piece on the backside of the floor.

3. Place the FRONT RIGHT WALL PANEL on the FLOOR in the same manner and insert the INNER WALL CONNECTORS into the three corresponding holes on the RIGHT SIDE PANEL, then push down to lock panels together.

4. Place the BACK WALL PANEL on the FLOOR against the floor trim, as shown, and make sure it fits snugly against the RIGHT SIDE WALL PANEL with the trim overlapping the wall, then engage buckles from bottom to top.

5. Place the LEFT SIDE WALL PANEL on the FLOOR in the same manner and buckle it to the BACK WALL PANEL.

6. Install the BENCH SUPPORT HEATER PANEL between the side walls by sliding it into the two trim pieces on each wall.
   NOTE: There will be a notch on top of the BENCH SUPPORT for the white MOOD LIGHTING wire, so it doesn’t get pinched.
   Make sure the wire goes into the notch.
   TIP: Move the front of the LEFT SIDE WALL out a little to make it easier to get the BENCH SUPPORT HEATER PANEL and BENCH SEAT (Step 8) in place. Move the wall into place once the bench is in.

7. Connect the black floor heater plug and the bench heater plug into the black plugs from the front

8. Connect the white MOOD LIGHTING bench plugs. Make sure they click together tightly. Place the BENCH SEAT on the BACK WALL PANEL. Use two 2” (50mm) SCREWS to attach the bench through the pre-drilled holes.

9. Lift the ROOF above the sauna and place on top of the walls, feeding the control panel and heater cables through the corresponding holes. Align METAL PINS on top of the FRONT RIGHT WALL PANEL and LEFT SIDE WALL with holes in the ROOF (see below) to get the ROOF positioned properly.

10. A. Once the ROOF is in place, use two 1-1/2” (40mm) SCREWS to secure the roof to the back wall in the marked holes as shown below.10B. Secure the ROOF and the FLOOR, from the interior, with four 1-1/2” (40mm) SCREWS using the pre-drilled holes located inside, two at the top and two at the bottom (hole locations are indicated by the arrows below). Make sure the walls are tight against the ROOF and the FLOOR when attaching. This step is very important to ensure the walls are stable and the glass panel and door will align properly.

11. Attach the DOOR HANDLE to the GLASS DOOR by using two 1-1/2” (40mm) SCREWS as shown.

12. A. Slide the SIDE WALL GLASS into the slot on the LEFT SIDE WALL and the FLOOR. Attach to the
    FLOOR using one 3/4” (20mm) SCREW and a BLACK PLASTIC WASHER through the glass. 12B. Attach the SIDE WALL GLASS to the ROOF using one 3/4” (20mm) SCREW and a BLACK PLASTIC WASHER through the glass. Snap METAL CAPS onto the two plastic washers that were just installed.
    Attach the GLASS DOOR HINGES to frame using six 1” (25mm) SCREWS. Use the pre- drilled holes in the frame, so the door will align properly.

13. A. Connect the heater cable plugs, control panel wires, and mood lighting on the roof to the corresponding wire connections coming up through the walls and the control panel roof hole. Make sure all wires are connected tightly.13B. Feed the main power cable through the hole in the ROOF and plug it securely into the receptacle on the back of the POWER SUPPLY BOX. Place the ROOF COVER on top of the ROOF and secure it with 12-14 3/4” (20MM) SCREWS.

14. Remove the back cover of the OXYGEN IONIZER. Unwrap and install the fragrance patch, then reattach the back cover. Attach the OXYGEN IONIZER in the designated position with two 5/8” (16mm) SCREWS. Plug the power cable into the OXYGEN IONIZER.

15. Attach the DOUBLE TOWEL HOOK with two 5/8” (16mm) SCREWS. Note: Attaching the hook is optional, but if you do, consider the position carefully before driving any screws into the sauna interior.

16. Plug the main power cable into a dedicated outlet. Note: No other appliances should share the same outlet or circuit with this sauna.

SAUNA USE DISCLAIMER

Saunas are powerful devices and monitoring your progress by a professional that is trained in sauna use is always advisable. Variables of sauna therapy such as health of the user, condition of user, duration of sauna therapy, proper hydration, and electrolyte and mineral balance must be properly considered and heeded before proceeding with sauna therapy.

Consult your licensed health care provider to see if our saunas are right for you. Blue Wave Products and/or its partners, associates, etc. are not liable for the use of Blue Wave’s products nor any incidental or consequential damages.

ENJOYING YOUR SAUNA

1. Prior to initial use, wipe down all interior surfaces of the sauna with a damp cloth.
2. Turn on the sauna and set the temperature to 104ºF for one hour to burn off any factory dust.
3. Always drink plenty of water before, during, and after your sauna session to stay properly hydrated.

6. Perspiration will begin within 15 to 25 minutes after entering the sauna.
7. Limit the use of lotions or oils on your body while using your sauna. These products can block your pores and limit perspiration, decreasing the effectiveness of your sauna session.
8. For spot treatment of a particular area, position that body part closer to the heater, allowing for deeper heating in that area.
9. During your sauna session, place towels on the bench seats and on the floor to absorb perspiration and maintain the cleanliness of your sauna.
10. Towel off excess perspiration during your sauna session to help your body perspire more freely.
11. Open the ceiling vent or the front door to allow fresh air into your sauna.
12. Allow your body to cool down following your sauna session, then rinse the perspiration off your body in a warm shower.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

1. Always unplug the sauna and allow it to cool down before performing any cleaning or maintenance.
2. Use furniture polish or furniture oil when cleaning the sauna exterior.
3. The sauna interior surfaces should only be wiped down with a damp cloth. Do NOT use chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents on the unfinished interior wood.
4. As with all natural wood products, variations in the color and the grain as well as irregularities such as knots and fine cracks may be present. These characteristics are a part of the natural beauty of the wood and should not be considered defective.
