Using The Combi Heater - Sawotec SAVC-90N Installationsanleitung

Small pieces of stone (35mm in diameter) must not be put inside the heater as they can block the
air circulation, which can cause overheating resulting to damage of the heating elements.
NOTE: A damaged heating element due to overheating caused by using the wrong kind of stones
or incorrect loading of stones will not be covered by the factory warranty.

3.2. Using the Combi Heater

CAUTION!
Smoke and odor formation when heating up for the first time
Work materials from the manufacturing process will be present on the new heating elements.
These evaporate when the sauna heater is heated up for the first time. This produces smoke
and an unpleasant odor. Breathing in the fumes or smoke can be harmful to your health.
Perform the following steps when operating the sauna heater for the first time and if the
heating elements for the sauna heater have been changed. In this way you will prevent
damage to health due to the fumes and smoke produced when heating up for the first time.
1. Select the highest possible temperature in the sauna control.
2. Heat up the sauna heater for half an hour. Do NOT stay in the sauna cabin during this
period.
3. Allow the sauna cabin to ventilate thoroughly after heating up for the first time.
4. If no smoke or odor is produced the next time the sauna heater is heated up, you can
start to use the sauna. If smoke or odor is produced again, leave the sauna cabin
immediately and repeat the initial heating up process followed by ventilation.
Before turning on the Combi Heater, make sure that nothing else but stones are placed inside or
•
near the unit. For more safety instructions, please refer to Part Saftey Instuctions at page 4
Bad odor may be detected when using the Combi Heater for the first time. To remove the
smell, ventilate the Sauna Room thoroughly.
It is important that you choose the correct power rating of the Combi Heater that will correspond
•
to your Sauna Room size. Part 6 (Technical Data) of this manual will help you to make the right
choice. A properly selected Combi Heater allows to reach the bathing temperature withinone hour.
If the heater power is too big for the Sauna Room, the room will heat up faster than the stones and
•
will cause the water thrown on the stones to go through the stone compartment too quickly.
On the other hand, if the heater power is too little for the Sauna Room, the water thrown on the
stones will not increase the temperature; instead, it will only cool the stones thus decreasing the
temperature inside the Sauna Room.
Your Sauna Room must have suitable insulation and wall materials. Refer to Part 8 (The Sauna
•
Room) of this manual for guidance. The bathing temperature should preferably be within the range
of +60 - + 90 °C elsius, while the Steamer is switched off.
Always check the sauna room before switching sauna heater on (to be sure that there is no
combustible things within the safety distances of the heater or on the heater). Make sure
that sauna room has been efficiently ventilated. If the output of the heater is proper it will
take about an hour to reach suitable temperature. The temperature in sauna room
should be between +60 - + 90 °C, according to the preference of user. Too powerful heater
will heat sauna room too quickly and the stones won't have enough time to warm. The
water poured on the stones will not evaporate, but flow into the stone holder. An
underpowered heater, on the other hand, would lead to an undesirably long heating period.
