Installation instructions

Important.

Do not use any fl oor coverings under the stove if they are made of
infl ammable material such as wood, plastic, etc. Ceramic tiles are ideal for
use in a sauna. The area under the stove may suffer discoloration, even on
non-fl ammable fl ooring or joint material. No compensation will be paid for dis-
coloration or damage to fl ooring or the sauna walls. The distance between the
rear of the stove and the cabin wall depends on the design (wall mounting).
The stove must be connected to the electricity supply before it is mounted on
the wall holder. The sauna stove is designed for cabin sizes up to 9-14m³.
Installing the sauna oven
• Affi x the feet on the rear wall of the oven the screws supplied
(4 screws M5 x 12).
• Fasten the bottom panel to the inner sheath with 4 self-tapping screws
3.9 x 9.5.
• Thread the mains cable into the terminal box through the hole provided for
it.
• After making the electrical connection of the mains cable, close the cover
on the terminal box again (with the spacer on the outside).
• Position the sauna oven in front of the air intake opening. Secure the wall
bracket to the wall of the cabin using the wood screws supplied. Insert the
stone grate (see description entitled "Placing the sauna stones on the stone
grate", section entitled "Cleaning and care").
• For the installation of the sauna oven ensure that the vertical distance
between the top of the sauna oven and the ceiling of the sauna booth is
at least 110 cm and the horizontal (lateral) distance between the oven and
the wall of the booth is at least 7 cm. The distance between the bottom of
the oven and the fl oor depends on the design of the oven (adjustable feet).
However, it should be ensured that the oven is not placed on a fl oor made of
highly infl ammable material (wood, plastic fl ooring, etc.). Ideally ceramic
tiles or the like should be used in the sauna. The distance between the rear
wall of the oven and the wall of the booth also depends on the design (wall
bracket).
• The distance between the oven safety grille or the bench and other
infl ammable materials from the oven must be at least 7 cm. The height of
the safety grille must be equal to the height of the oven at the front.

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 according to overvoltage category III must
be installed.
Important:
Mains connection leads must be fl exible cables with polychlorophene sheaths.
No connection leads are supplied with the stove. All the cables installed inside
the cabin must be capable of withstanding temperatures of at least 140 °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 (page 5 Table 1). A connection diagram is affi xed to the inside of the duct
cover. Please note that for safety reasons live cables are not allowed to be routed
visibly along the internal walls of the cabin. In prefabricated sauna cabins the wall
element with the air supply opening generally has empty cable conduits or a duct
for routing the cable. 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 cover
The sauna heater must not be used without a suitable protective device!
Installation is only allowed to be carried out by a qualifi ed person. Com-
pliance with EN 60335-2-35 and installation and fi re protection measure
requirements applicable at the place of use is mandatory!
Test the insulation resistance
The resistance values between the various conductor terminals and the case
(protective earth) can be measured using an insulation resistance measuring
unit. The total insulation resistance between the conductor terminals and case
(protective earth) must defi nitely be greater than 1 MOhm.Ohm values of the
stoves 33 – 39 Ω Bio-Kombiofen 9 kW.
