7. The Sauna Room
7.1. How to Use the Sauna
Taking a sauna bath is a simple affair without many rules. It's a matter of getting inside the Sauna and
enjoying the sensation. There are just a few established procedures that are wise to follow:
•
Leave your clothes in the dressing room. Make sure you have a clean set of clothes to change
into after taking a sauna.
•
Always take a shower before entering the Sauna.
•
Always use a towel to sit on or lie on inside the Sauna.
•
While in a Sauna Heater operation mode, the humidity of the Sauna Room can be increased by
throwing water on the stones. One to three ladles of water at a time are enough for you to enjoy the
Sauna.
•
The recommended temperature of a Sauna is 70 to 90 degrees Celsius, at most 100 degrees Celsius.
•
In Steamer mode, the recommended temperature of a Sauna is 40 to 50 degrees Celsius.
•
When the heat begins to get uncomfortable, leave the Sauna and cool off by taking another shower,
or taking a quick dip in the pool or simply sitting outside the Sauna.
•
Enjoy a drink if you are feeling thirsty, however, avoid alcoholic drinks.
•
You can repeat the hot and cold cycle as often as you want. Two rounds are enough for average
people.
•
End your sauna with a thorough wash.
•
Thoroughly cool off before putting on clean clothes.
•
Top your sauna with a refreshing drink or by simply taking a rest.
7.2. Temperature of the Sauna Rooma
•
The temperature and humidity inside the Sauna Room can be monitored with a sauna
thermometer and hygrometer, respectively.
•
The effect of temperature and moisture on an individual varies, thus it is difficult to
recommend the ideal bathing temperature. Therefore, a bather can enjoy the sauna according
to his preferred temperature.
•
Ventilation inside the Sauna is important to keep the air fresh and easy to breathe in.
7.3. Drying the Sauna Room After Use
•
Always dry the Sauna after every use.
•
Open the ventilation louver on the ceiling and turn on the heater for a quick drying of the Sauna.
•
Make sure to turn off the heater once the Sauna Room is dried.
7.4. Ventilation of the Sauna Room
•
Sufficient ventilation is extremely important to maintain fresh air inside the Sauna Room.
•
In an hour, the air inside the Sauna Room should change completely five times.
•
If possible, fresh air should flow directly from outside.
•
The stale Sauna Room air should escape through a ventilation louver in the ceiling located as far as
possible from where the heater is placed.
•
Figure 11 shows a typical Sauna Room ventilation example.
