Heater Stones; Loading The Stones - Sawotec ARI3-45NB-CNR Bedienungsanleitung

Heater Stones

The main purpose of the stones in the heater unit is to store enough energy to
efficiently vaporize the water thrown on top of the stones to maintain correct
humidity in the sauna room. The stones must be replaced at least once a year
or every 500 hours which ever occurs first. All stone crumbles must be
removed from the heater unit and replaced with new ones as described in the
heater manual. The required amount of stones is also listed in the manual
provided. See page 20 (Technical Data).
NOTE! Never use the heater without stones as it may cause fire. Use only
manufacturers recommended SAWO-stones. Using unsuitable stones may lead
to heating element damage and will void the warranty. Never use ceramic
stones or other artificial stones of any type!
Loading stones into the heater
It is recommended that all stones should be rinsed to remove any stains or
dust that can cause unpleasant odor during the first few times of using the
heater. It is important that the stones are loaded carefully in a way that they
do not block air circulation through the heater. Load the stones to the heater so
that the heating elements are not visible from any angle. Make sure that the
elements don't get bended or touch each other as a result of the loading by
properly installing the heating element spacer. Do not load stones inside the
heating element spacer. Larger stones that won't fit between the heating
elements must not be forced in place instead they must be completely
removed. Small crumble or stone pieces smaller than 35mm in diameter must
not be loaded into the heater because they will block the air circulation and will
cause overheating and possible heating element damage. Use the three
additional heating element separators to make sure that heating elements are
in no contact with each other. Do not place stones inside the heating element
holder, but only around and on top of it. Load the stones to the heater so that
the heating elements are not visible from any angle. If heating elements touch
each others, it will significantly reduce the life span of heating element.(fig.4)
NOTE! Heating element damage due to overheating caused by wrong kind of
stones or stones which were wrongly loaded into the heater is not covered by
the factory warranty.
Before the heater is filled with stones, electrician should test that the heater
works. Testing can be done by turning on the heater for a short time without
any stones and verifying that all heating elements are heating up.

Heating element separator
Hinweis!
Note!
Montage Abstandhalter für Heizelemente wie in Abb.
4 gezeigt. Der Abstandhalter für Heizelemente
verhindert, dass sich die Heizelemente gegenseitig
berühren und verlängert somit deren Lebensdauer.
Install heating element separator as shown in figure
4. The separator prevents heating elements from
touching each other which improves the lifespan of
heating elements.
