Throwing Water On Heated Stones; Sauna Water - Sawotec NRC-80NS Bedienungsanleitung

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.
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 (Fig. 5). 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.

1.3.1 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.

1.3.2 Sauna water

Hard or ferrous water may leave layers on the stones and heater elements.
Do not use sea water, humus or chlorinated water as it causes damage to the Combi Heater
and its parts. Use only clean household tap water to be thrown on the stones.
