2. Heating the sauna

Before turning the sauna heater on, make sure the sauna room is suitable for taking a sauna bath. When heated for the
first time, the sauna heater may emit some odour. If you detect any odour while the sauna heater warms up, disconnect
the sauna heater briefly, and air the room. Then turn the sauna heater back on.
You should turn the sauna heater on roughly an hour before you plan to take a sauna bath, so that the stones have time
to heat up properly and the air warms up evenly in the sauna room.
Pleasant, smooth sauna bath temperature is about 70 °C.
Do not put any objects on the sauna heater. Do not dry clothes on the sauna heater or anywhere in its vicinity.

7. A ventilation valve can be installed here to be kept closed while the sauna is heated and during bathing.
Inlet vent can be positioned in the A zone. Make sure the incoming fresh air will not interfere with (i.e. cool down) the
sauna heater's thermostat near the ceiling.
The B zone serves as the incoming air zone, if the sauna room isn't fitted with forced ventilation. In this case, the exhaust
valve is installed min 1m higher than the inlet valve.
DO NOT ISTALL INLET VALVE WITHIN ZONE C, IF THE SAUNA HEATER'S CONTROL THERMOSTAT IS LOCATED
IN THE SAME ZONE.

2.2. Installing the sensor near a supply air vent

The sauna room air should be exchanged six times in an
hour. The diameter of the supply air pipe should be
between 50 and 100 mm.
A circular air supply vent (360°) must be
installed at least 1000 mm away from the sensor.
An air supply vent with a flow-directing panel
(180°) must be installed at least 500 mm away from
the sensor. Air flow must be directed away from the
sensor.
