3. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Using the Heater and the Steamer
EN
When the device is connected to the power supply and the main switch ( further information » System
components ) is switched on, the control unit is in standby mode and ready for use. I/O buttons'
background lights glow on the control panel. (Device = power unit / Harvia XE-heater)
Heater and/or Steamer On:
Heater and steamer are switched on and off independently.
Start the heater by pressing the heater I/O button on the control panel.
Start the steamer by pressing the steamer I/O button on the control panel.
When the heater and/or steamer starts, the display will show previously set values for five seconds. The
shown values (temperature/humidity/on-time) differ depending on which devices are started.
When the desired temperature and/or humidity has been reached in the sauna room, the heating
elements are automatically turned off. To maintain the desired temperature and/or humidity, the control
unit will automatically turn the heating elements on and off in periods. If the heater efficiency is suitable
and the sauna has been built correctly, the sauna takes no more than an hour to warm up.
Heater and/or Steamer Off:
The heater and/or steamer turn off and the control unit switches to standby mode when:
• the I/O button is pressed
• the on time has elapsed or
• an error occurs.
If the water container runs empty, the steamer will be turned off, the water level warning light will
blink, and the display will show the text "OFF". If the water level sensor develops a failure, the steamer's
overheat protector will engage, the water level warning light will blink, and the display will show the text
"OFF" ( further information » Error Messages).
NOTE! It is essential to check that the control unit has cut off power from the heater after
the on time has elapsed, the dehumidification has ended or the heater has been switched off
manually.
Changing the Settings:
The settings menu structure and changing the settings is shown in figures 3a and 3b. The programmed
temperature and humidity values and all values of additional settings are stored in memory and will
also apply when the devices are switched on next time.
Note! The humidity value determines the maximum temperature in the sauna. The sum
of temperature and humidity values can be 140 at maximum (temperature 60 °C +
humidity 80 rH). This is due to safety reasons. If the steamer is activated and you try to
set the temperature too high, the humidity value will blink in the display.
