Sauna Assembly
· Ensure sauna foundation is sturdy and level. If the foundation is not, the
sauna could tilt, shift or fall leading to injury. Step 1. Connect the Four
Floor Risers Fasten the four floor risers together using the predrilled holes
as a guide. (1-2)
Image 1
Image 2
Step 2. Position Wall Support Rails
Align each wall support so that the angled cuts make a corner. Each wall
support has a predrilled hole. Fasten the front, back, and sides together (3 &
4) and lay the assembly squarely on top of the floor risers with the groove
facing up (5). The rails should overlap both sides of the riser by
approximately 1″ (6). Secure the assembly to the floor risers using three
screws evenly spaced on each wall support rail (7 & 8).

Step 3. Position wall panels A & B Position wall panel A in the groove of the
left rail and push it flush against the back rail. Having a helper hold wall
panel A, placewall panel B in the groove of the back rail (9 & 10). Push the
flat edge against wall panel A. Align the two panels so they are flush and
fasten them together using the 2″ screws through the predrilled holes (11).

Step 8. Bench Installation Note: You may choose to install all the benches and
backrests after the sauna is completed, but you may find it easier to install
with the extra space and light afforded at this step.
Mount the Bench on the pre-placed bench supports. Fasten it in place using the
pre-drilled holes on the sides, top, and bottom of the bench, firmly attaching
it to the bench supports and to the wall of the sauna (20 & 21).

Image 21
Measure the desired height at which you want to install the back rest (suggested: 8-12″ above the bench, centered on the wall). Use 2″ screws and pre-drilled holes to attach the Back Rest to Wall Panel F (22).

Step 9. LED Backrest Installation
The LED lighting comes installed on the back of the Back Rest. Find the cord
coming from the light switch and bore a 5/8″ hole in wall panel C to insert
the light cord through so it comes through to the outside of the sauna
(23-25).

Use provided screws to position Power Supply where it is most convenient for you on the outside of wall panel C (26). Optional: Secure excess wire with zip tie or some other fastener as desired. Plug the cord into the power supply (27). Plug the power supply into any wall outlet, and flip the switch mounted on the back of the bench to operate the LED light.

Step 10. Assemble and Position Roof Support Rails
Align each roof support rail so the angled cuts join together to make a
90-degree angle placing the longer supports on the sides and the shorter
supports on the front and back. Fasten them together using 2″ screws through
the predrilled holes (28 & 29). This is the same assembly you performed in
Step 2. Place the assembly on top of the wall panels so that the wall panels
fit snugly into the groove. When in place, secure the assembly to the walls
using three 2″ screws on each rail (29 & 30).

Step 11. Position Roof Panels
Position the two roof panels on top of the roof support rails with the predrilled holes facing up (31-32). The roof panels connect via tongue and groove fit. Align the connected roof panels on the rails so that approximately 1″ of the support rails extend past each side of the roof panels. Once evenly spaced, secure the panels with 2″ screws through the predrilled holes (33). Install the provided trim pieces with the 1″ trim nails to cover the raw edges of the roof panels (34).

Step 13. Finishing Touches
After the sauna has been installed, sweep down the inside to remove any
sawdust and wood shavings, and then vacuum completely. Using a damp cloth with
warm water, wipe down the entire sauna including the benches to remove any
remaining dirt, dust and debris.
Step 14. Heater Installation
· Turn off power to heater at breaker before beginning installation or performing maintenance on the heater. Failure to turn off the power will lead to electrocution and even death.
· Improper installation of heater mounting bracket could cause the heater to
fall leading to burns and other injuries.
· Before placing or adjusting stones, ensure heater is back to room
temperature. Failure to do so may cause burns.
Please consult your heater manual for all heater installation information.

Turn over matched pieces so the long section is face down. Ensure the boards
are flush in the top corner for optimal fitment (42). Attach the two pieces
together using the two predrilled holes and remaining screws from your sauna
hardware kit (43). It is recommended to keep pressure on the two square boards
during fastening for easier assembly. See below for finished heater fence
(44). To install heater fence into sauna, use the four predrilled holes and
screws
from sauna hardware kit (45-46). Place fence around heater and fasten into
side and front wall panels (47).

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 that you like!
· Set your heater so your sauna achieves the desired temperature. This is
typically 150 -170+ degrees 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 10-20 minutes. · 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!
