Position the sauna stones on the stone grid
Sauna stones are a natural product. We recommend that you clean the
stones with clean water before placing them on the stove. Do not use
stones unless they are designed for use in a sauna. Use a maximum
of 12 kg of stones. Important. Position the stones loosely and remove
any stones that are too small. If the stones are packed too tightly they
will a
ff
ect the air circulation and will result in the sauna stove and cabin
walls overheating and a
fi
re risk. Do not use the stove without stones.
Only use stones that are marked as sauna stones in shops. Warranty
claims will not be accepted if stones other than those designed for use
in saunas are used or for claims resulting from
fi
lling of the stone cham-
bers incorrectly. Turn the stones at least once per year, remove any sto-
nes that are too small and remove all stone dust and stone splinters. We
recommend that you replace the stones every two years.
Important.
If you cover the stove and
fi
ll the stone container incorrectly the unit may
cause a
fi
re. Do not use the stove without sauna stones.
Cleaning and care
Switch o
ff
the stove and allow it to cool before you clean it.
Do not use scouring cleaning products to clean the stove.
Liquids
The sauna stove is suitable for sauna liquids.
Please read the following carefully:
• Only use water that meets the quality requirements for domestic water.
• Water that contains high levels of lime or iron will leave residue on the
stones and metal in the water tank.
• To prevent scalds caused by rising steam whilst pouring liquid over the
stones, liquids should always be poured from the side using a ladle.
• Dripping water may cause permanent marks on the cabin
fl
oor.
• Pour small amounts of liquid on to the stones; if you pour too much
liquid on to them you may su
ff
er scalds.
• Use as much liquid as you are comfortable with, but do not exceed a
volume of 15 g/m³ of cabin volume.
• The liquid should be poured straight on to the stones in the stove and
must be spread evenly over all the stones.
• If you use liquid concentrates (for example essential oils), follow the
instructions for use provided by the manufacturer.
• Using excessive concentrations of these products may result in ex-
plosions.
• Do not use mixtures of alcoholic drinks or other additives not recom-
mended for use in saunas as they pose a risk of
fi
re, explosion and
may be harmful.
• The warranty will be voided if you fail to follow these instructions.
Important
Liquids may cause marks on metal surfaces and sauna stones. Sauna
liquids with citrus fragrance may cause rust patches as a result of their
acid content. In this case you should only use products in the diluted
form speci
fi
ed by the manufacturer.
Troubleshooting
The stove will not heat up
• Have you activated all the necessary switches?
• Has the fuse in the domestic installation tripped?
• Have you set the temperature controller correctly?
• Have you pre-set the time switch?
• RCCB trips – see the section entitled “Testing the insulation resistan-
ce”
The stove causes “cracking noises”
• The housing parts and heating elements expand when the stove is
heating up or operating. The heating elements may move the sauna
stones and cause noises. Cracking noises are normal and are not
grounds for complaint.
• Sauna stones split and cause an odor
• Use only sauna stones recommended by the manufacturer.
• Sauna stones are too old; replace them.
The cabin does not get hot enough
• The sauna stove is too small
• Excessive temperature loss from the sauna cabin, for example due to
poor or lack of sealing.
• Incorrect display on the sauna thermometer. Mount the thermometer
higher and at a distance of approx. 3 cm from the sauna wall.
• Have a defective heating element (heating element does not glow)
checked and measured by an electrician.
