Note:
The control equipment may be destroyed even if it is
incorrectly connected only once. The warranty will be
voided if the electrical connection is not correct.
Instructions for the electrician
DIN VDE 0100 and Accident Prevention Regulation BGV A2
must be observed for connecting the stove and all electrical
systems. An external all-pole disconnecting device with full
isolation a ccording t o o vervoltage c ategory I II m ust b e i nstalled.
Important:
Mains connection leads must be flexible cables with
polychlorophene sheaths. No connection leads are supplied
with the stove. All the cables installed inside the cabin must
be suitable for an ambient temperature of at least 170°C. heat
resistant silicon cables must be used. The minimum cross-
section of the connection cable and the minimum size of the
sauna cabin are shown in the table (Table 1 page 8). Make the
electrical connection as shown in the connection diagram.
A connection diagram is additionally affixed to the inside of the
duct cover. Fit the cover after making the electrical connection.
Please note that live cables must not be routed visibly on the
internal walls of the cabin for safety reasons. In prefabricated
sauna cabins the wall element with the air supply opening
generally h as e mpty c able c onduits o r a d uct f or r outing t he c able.
If your cabin does not have any cable routing preparations,
we recommend that you install a connection socket (not
supplied) to the outside of the cabin. Drill a hole in the cabin
wall near the cable infeed from the stove and the connection
socket. Thread the cable through the hole to the external
connection socket. All cables must be protected from
damage. This can be achieved using installation ducting/
piping or using wooden covers.

Testing the insulation resistance
The resistance values between the various conductor
terminals and the housing (protective earth) can be measured
using an insulation resistance measuring unit. The total
insulation resistance between the conductor terminals and
housing (protective earth) must definitely be greater than 1
MOhm. Regulation 3 of the DGUV (German Social Accident
Insurance) Resistance value of individual heating coils 15 -
44 Ohm (3.6 kw - 9.0 KW)
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 10 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 affect
the air circulation and will result in the sauna stove and cabin
walls overheating and a fire 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 filling of the stone chambers incorrectly. Turn
the stones at least once per year, remove any stones 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 fill the stone container incorrectly
the unit may cause a fire. Do not use the stove without sauna
stones.
Cleaning and care:
Switch off the stove and allow it to cool before you clean it.
Do not use scouring cleaning products to clean the stove.
