How to use the Sauna

alcohol in the sauna.

2.2 Climate of the Sauna Room
The climate inside the Sauna Room can be monitored with a dedicated sauna thermometer
and hygrometer. The impact of temperature and moisture on an individual varies greatly.
Hence it is impossible to recommend certain values as ideal bathing condition. The climate
is right as long as the bather feels comfortable. Ventilation is important to maintain fresh
and easy to breathe air.
In Sauna Heater operation mode you may increase humidity of the sauna room by
throwing water on the stones of the heater. The recommended temperature in the sauna is
65 to 85º C, at most 100º C. In Steam Generator mode, the recommended temperature in
the sauna room is 40 to 50º C.
Sauna bathing refreshes your body and is known to benefit your health by muscle
relaxation, soothes and alleviates tension. You may want to mediate inside a quiet sauna.
2.3 Drying the Sauna Room after use
If the steamer has been used, the Sauna Room needs to dry up. Open the ventilation louver
on the ceiling and turn on the heater to allow a faster drying process. Make sure to turn off
the heater upon completion of drying.
