Saunum H-1/6, Instructions For Use And Installation

12

The housing of the device may be cleaned with a cloth dampened with water. Do not use high pressure washers and running water for cleaning! Do not use chemical 

detergents or solvents for cleaning! To remove limescale stains from the sauna climate device, use 10% citric acid solution and rinse with clean water. Excessive dirt 

can unbalance the fan rotor, which in turn leads to an increase in noise when the sauna climate device is operating. Noise can also increase as a result of damaging / 

bending the fan blades.

Make sure that no foreign objects or salt balls are in the fan rotor’s working area. Generally, the fan does not require cleaning more than once a year. 

Only a person authorised by Saunum can clean the fan. Using compressed air to clean the fan can permanently damage the fan rotor! 

The fan bearings are maintenance-free and must be replaced in case of malfunctions.

We recommend to check all electrical connections of the sauna climate device at least once a year. This may be performed by a qualified person.

2.  SAUNA ROOM

The sauna climate device is intended for installation in a properly prepared sauna room. Walls and ceilings must be isolated well, otherwise it will take too much time 

and energy to warm up the room. The power supply cables for the heater and fan of the sauna must be connected through the electrical supply connection box in 

accordance with Table 1 (page 16).

2.1. Ventilation of the sauna room

The air in the sauna room must be changed at least six times per hour. If mechanical air extraction is used, place the air supply above the sauna climate device. 

If natural air extraction is used, place the air supply under or next to the sauna climate device. The air inlet pipe must be 80 to 100 mm in diameter. Install an air 

outlet near the floor, as far from the sauna climate device as possible. The air exhaust pipe should be twice the diameter of the air inlet pipe. If the air extraction 

opening is in the washroom, there must be a gap of at least 100 mm under the steam room door. Extraction ventilation in the sauna room is mandatory. Optional 

venting hole for drying should be installed in the ceiling near the sauna climate device’s opposite wall (closed during heating and bathing). The sauna can also be 

dried by leaving thedoor open after using the sauna. The ventilation system of the sauna should preferably obstruct exhaust air of the sauna from getting into other 

rooms, especially if using the sauna climate device with salt balls.

2.2.  Power of heater

If there is sufficient isolation behind the wall and ceiling, the power of the heater will determine the volume of the sauna. Non-isolated walls (brick, glass block, glass, 

concrete, floor tiles, etc.) increase the power demand of the heater. Add 1.2 m³ to the volume of the sauna for each non-isolated square meter of wall. For example, 

a 10 m³ sauna room with a glass door corresponds to the capacity requirements of a 12 m³ sauna room. If the sauna room has log walls, multiply the volume 

measure by 1.5. The optimal size of the sauna for the Saunum PREMIUM Set H-1 is given in 

Table 1

 (page 16). The height of the sauna is usually 2100...2300 mm. 

When installing the sauna climate device Saunum H-1, the minimum height is 2100 mm.
