Maintenance And Care; Special Advice - Monuments Edge Montage- Und Gebrauchsanweisung

To ensure the correct tem-
perature regulation, please be
sure that the stones cover all
heating elements!
It is not permitted to operate the
heater without stones.

Maintenance and care

All sauna heaters are made of a corro-
sion-resistant material. You should main-
tain and care for the device so that you can
enjoy your sauna heater for a long time.
you must make sure that all openings and
radiation plates in the vacuum area are kept
free of obstructions. By drawing in fresh air,
these can easily become blocked with fluff
and dust. This restricts the air convection
of the sauna heater and unauthorized tem-
peratures can occur.
Clean or remove limescale from the device
as required. Please contact your sauna
dealer or the manufacturing factory if you
notice any defects or signs of wear and tear.
If you haven't used your sauna for a while,
make sure that no hand towels, detergents
or other objects have been placed on the
sauna heater or evaporator before starting
the sauna.
Attention! Risk of injuries!
Suitable protective gloves must
be worn when cleaning the outer
shell components.
DIN VDE part 703 must be observed for
installation of the sauna heaters!
This norm, in the latest version valid since Feb-
ruary 2006 with amendments to paragraph
703.412.05, makes the following statement;
quote:
The additional protection must be provided for all of
the sauna's electrical circuits through one or more
residual current devices (RCD) with a differential
measurement current no higher than 30 mA, with
the exception of sauna heaters.
EN 60335-1 DIN VDE part 1 from January 2001
states the following under paragraph 13; quote:
The leakage current may not exceed the follow-
ing values at operating temperature:
- For fixed heaters under protection class I: 0.75
mA or 0.75 mA per kW measurement detection of
the device, depending on which value is higher, with
a maximum value of 5 mA.
If a residual current device (RCD) is installed,
make sure that no other electrical consumers are
protected using this RCD.
According to the current status of technology, it
does not make sense to use vapor-tight heaters
in saunas. In some cases, the magnesium-oxide
filling in the heaters by draw moisture from the air
through the vapor-diffusion silicone seal which
may lead to the RCD triggering in a few cases.
This is a physical process and is not a manufac-
turing error.
In this case, the heater must be heated by a spe-
cialist under supervision, whereby the function
of the RCD is by-passed. After the moisture has
been drawn from the heating rods after approx.
10 mins, the RCD can be incorporated in the elec-
trical circuit again!
If the sauna is not used very often, we recom-
mend heating it approximately every six weeks so
that moisture does not accumulate in the heating
rods.
If the RCD is triggered during initialization, the
electrical installation must be checked once
again.
The electrical fitter is responsible for correct con-
nection of the heaters and liability by the manu-
facturer is therefore excluded!
