Loading Of Stones; Ventilation; Construction Of Sauna; Important Additional Instructions - NARVI Combi Installation Und Betriebsanleitung

4. LOADING OF STONES

– Use safety gloves.
– When loading the stones, make sure they do
not bend the resistors or obstruct sufficient
circulation of air.
– Do not load the stones too tightly. Over-filling of
the stone compartment will cause overheating
of the resistors (= shorter service life) and
slower heating up of the sauna.
– Sauna stones must be replaced every 6 months.
– Ceramic stones cannot be used in this heater!
AN UNDER-FILLED STONE COMPARTMENT
WILL CAUSE A FIRE HAZARD!

5. VENTILATION

– The air exchange in the steam room must be
as efficient as possible, in order to guarantee
sufficient oxygen content and availability of
fresh air. The air in the steam roomshould be
changed 3-6 times in an hour.It is recommended
that the ventilation be realised in accordance
with the HVAC designer's plan
– The fresh air is directed through a ca. 100-mm
diameter duct. The outlet duct should be larger
in diameter than the inlet duct. If the ventilation
is mechanical, we recommend placing the inlet
air valve in the ceiling near the heater. Locate
the temperature sensor at a sufficient distance
from the inlet air valve!
– There must be a space of at least 1,000 mm
between the temperature sensor and the fresh
air duct or 500 mm if the duct end can be
turned.
– If the ventilation is natural, we recommend plac-
ing the inlet air valve on the side of the heater or
under it, either in the wall or in the floor.
– It is important to introduce fresh air, so that the
air mixes with the air and the steam.
– The exiting air should be exhausted from near
the floor as far as possible from the incoming air.
– The air exhaust valve may be located under the
sauna benches.
– The exiting air may be directed out of the steam
room through the washroom, for instance under
the door. There must be an approximately
14
100-150-wide slit between the door and the
floor.
– If you provide your sauna with a separate drying
valve, place it in the ceiling of the steam room.
(This valve shall be closed during the use of the
sauna.)

6. CONSTRUCTION OF SAUNA

– The sauna shall be well heat insulated, particu-
larly the ceiling, where most of the steam rises.
Due to the high level of humidity, the heat insu-
lation should be covered with moisture-proof
material, such as aluminium paper. Wood should
always be used for cladding.
– The floor under the sauna heater must be heat
resistant. Hot pieces of the stones might drop
on the floor from the heater and cause fire risk.

7. IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS

– A suitable temperature for the sauna room is
between 60–80 °C.
– Staying in the hot sauna for a longer time,
makes the body temperature rise, which may be
dangerous Do not sleep in sauna.
– You should be careful in the vicinity of the hot
heater, because the stones and metal parts of
the heater may cause burns.
– Only a small amount of water (1-2 dl) should be
thrown onto the heater stones, because the
steaming water is scalding hot.
– This equipment is not to be used by children
or people whose physical and psychological
traits, mental functions, lack of experience or
knowledge may hinder the safe operation of the
equipment, if the person who is responsible for
safety cannot supervise them or instruct them in
the use of the equipment.
– Do not go to the sauna if you are under the
influence of substances causing intoxication.
– Children may not be left unsupervised and they
should be supervised to make sure they do not
play with the equipment.
– Always inspect the steam room before plugging
in the heater.
– The improperly filed stone container is a fire
hazard.
