HEATING of THE SAuNA
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 ele-
ments.These evaporate when the sauna heater is heated up for the first time. This pro-
duces 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.
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 prop-
er it will take about an hour to reach suitable temperature. Temperature in sauna room
should be between +60 - +90 °C. Temperature is individual in every sauna room depend-
ing on e.g. heater model, size of heater room, air ventilation and bathers preference.
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.
Throwing water on heated stones
Throwing water on the heated stones increases the moisture level in the sauna.
The amount of water thrown with a small ladle on the stones determines the moisture
content of the air. The bather's skin starts to sweat and breathing becomes easy. Make
sure not to throw water on the hot stones if other bathers sitting next to the heater as hot
water may splash from the stones.
Sauna water
Use only clean household tap water to be thrown on the stones. Hard water causes a
white deposit on the stones and heater surface. The heat accumulating property of the
stones decreases when using hard water. If the water is ferrous a rusty layer covers
heating elements and the heater parts which leads to corrosion. Do not use sea water
humus or chlorinated water as it causes damage to the Combi Heater and it's parts.
