Digital control centre
With the control centre the user can set the steamer function, temperature, starting time, bathing time,
etc. An electrician installs the control centre outside the sauna room either as surface mounting or as
flush mounting. The user can set the time easily, or it may be left for the installer to set. For additional
information on the control centre, see page 7 2.6 – Operation of the sauna heater controls.
2.2.

Sauna room

The walls and ceiling of a sauna room should be thermally well insulated. All surfaces that store heat,
such as tiled and plastered surfaces must be insulated. It is recommended to use wooden panel cladding
inside the sauna room. If there are heat storing elements in the sauna room, such as decorative stone,
glass etc., note that these elements may extend the pre-heating period even though the sauna room is
otherwise well insulated (see page 17, 3.1 Preparing for sauna heater installation ).

Recommended sauna room ventilation

For additional information on recommended sauna room ventilation, see page 20, 3.3 – Recommended
sauna room ventilation.

Heating the sauna

Before turning the sauna heater on, make sure the sauna room is suitable for taking a sauna bath. When
heated for the first time, the sauna heater may emit some odour. If you detect any odour while the sauna
heater warms up, disconnect the sauna heater briefly, and air the room. Then turn the sauna heater back
on.
Sauna heater with a separate control centre, see page 7, 2.6 - Operation of the sauna heater controls.
You should turn the sauna heater on roughly an hour before you plan to take a sauna bath, so that the
stones have time to heat up properly and the air warms up evenly in the sauna room.
Do not put any objects on the sauna heater. Do not dry clothes on the sauna heater or anywhere
in its vicinity.
2.5.

Sauna heater stones

Quality stones meet the following requirements:
1. Sauna stones should withstand heat and heat variation caused by vaporisation of the water thrown on
the stones.
2. Stones should be rinsed before use in order to avoid odour and dust.
3. Sauna stones should have an uneven surface to supply a larger surface for the water to evaporate from.
4. Sauna stones should be large enough, measuring about 50–80 mm to allow good ventilation between
the stones. This extends the useful life of the heating elements.
