12. Is the amount of stones correct (up to the brim of the stone chamber with only one half of a stone
size above it in the middle)?
13. Are the stones laid “too carefully”? (Stones should not be packed too tight but strewn “carelessly”
to leave enough air gaps).
14. Are the stones of good quality and right size (longer side 5 to 10 cm (2-4”), not too flat, peridotite
stones recommended)?
Sauna does not get hot enough
15. Is the sauna new or the wood structures wet (for example, a new log sauna will not heat up to
80
o
C (176°F) until about 12 months after completion)?
16. Is the heater being used correctly (see steps 9 to 11)?
17. Is the heater capacity correct (see the brochure for advice)?
18. See steps 7, 10, 12, 13 and 14.
The sauna gets hot fast but the stones do not
19. Too many stones (see steps 12 and 13).
20. Is the heater too efficient for steam room capacity (see selection guide)? Keep the vent open to
let excessive heat escape to allow the stones to heat up in the process. In this way, the time
required for heating is slightly longer.
21. Is the heating method correct (see instructions)?
Water does not get hot enough
22.
See steps 10 and 17.
23. Black “dandruff” gathers under the heater
x
Stones may be eroded.
x
The material consists of metal flakes that have come off the heater. If so, the heater has been
heated red-hot too intensely – metal peels off and the heater is damaged prematurely.
25. Smell of sulphur in the sauna
The stones contain sulphur as a result of explosion or the rock material contains natural sulphur.
