Regular business hours are 9-5 EST, M-F.

Read this entire manual through to the end before proceeding with the assembly.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

All electrical wiring must be performed by A QUALIFIED LICENSED ELECTRICIAN. Because of the heat involved in the sauna, it is required

that you use copper wire with 90oC insulation. Do not use aluminum wire to make the connection. Consult with an electrician so you can

determine the requirements for your particular situation. All wiring must conform to all national, state and local codes and regulations and

according to the instructions provided with the heater.

Be sure the surface where you are placing the sauna is at and level. A concrete, tile, vinyl, laminate or similar surface is suitable; placing the

sauna on carpet is not recommended. It is suggested that you lay out all of the components so that it is easy to identify the pieces once you

get started with assembly.

Step 1

Locate the 4 bottom rails, using the 2 longer rails as the back walls and 2 shorter rails as the front walls. Secure them together using 4x70mm

screws.

Step 2

Starting at the left-side corner, begin the wall assembly. Position a 17” wall section on the back rail and connect a 90° corner post using

6x120mm screws through the pre-drilled holes in the post. Next, add a 14” wall section without clips to the left-front rail,

securing it to the post using 6x120mm screws.

Step 3

Continue adding the remaining ve 17” wall sections along the left-back rail, using a rubber mallet to secure

the tongue-and-groove t. Add a 90° corner post to the back corner, again securing to the adjacent panel with

6x120mm screws. Continue adding 17” wall sections along the right-back rail. Note: This manual shows the 17”

wall section with vent hole as the nal section on the rail, but you may locate the vent section anywhere on the

back rails.

Step 4

Install 90° corner posts to the remaining corner, securing it in

place using 6x120mm screws. Once in place, place the remain-

ing 14” wall section without clips on the front right-front rail

and push against the 90° corner post, using the 6x120mm

screws to secure in place. Finally, position the 14” wall sections

with plastic clips against the 14” wall sections without plastic

clips on both front rails. Orient these wall sections so the

tapered side of the clip points upward.

Step 5

Locate a 45° corner posts and orient it so the tapered side of the clip points down. Position the clips on the posts above the clips of the adjacent

wall section. Push the post into the wall section and rmly slide down, tapping into place with a rubber mallet. Verify that each of the 3 clips have

nested snugly into each other. Repeat this process for the other side.

Step 6

Remove the transport strip at the base of the door frame. With the rubber gasket facing outward, align the clips of the door frame to the clips of

the adjacent 45° posts and rmly slide the door frame down, tapping each side into place with a rubber mallet. Verify that all clips have nested

snugly into each other. At the top, middle, and base of the door frame, pre-drill 6 holes (3 on each side) and secure the door frame to the corner

posts using 5x70mm screws.

Step 7

Locate the 6 bench supports. Use the 5x70mm screws to secure the 30”supports so that the top of the support measures 14.5” from the oor.

Repeat for the opposite side. Next, secure the 22” supports so the top of the support measures 31 5/8”from the oor. Repeat for the opposite

side. Finally, secure the 10”vertical bench-cover mounting slat perpendicular to the upper slat, being sure the center of the mounting slat sits at

the edge of the 22” support. Repeat for the opposite side.

Step 8

Position the footrest on the lower bench supports. Note: The footrest is intended to be free-sliding, but you may secure it to the wall sections

if you wish. Now secure the bench cover to the vertical support from behind using 3.5 x 50mm screws. Next, position the bench on the upper

bench supports. There is no need to x the bench in place, but you may secure it to the wall sections if you wish from underneath using 5x70mm

screws. Finally, level the backrest 10”above the upper bench and secure to the wall with 3x40mm screws through the pre-drilled holes.

Step 9

Locate the 5 roof support slats. Starting above the door, secure the supports in place using the 4x70mm screws through the predrilled holes.

Position them so the bottom of the supports measure 3”from the top edge of the wall panels. Lay the roof sections on the supports. There is no

need to secure the roof panels to the supports, but you may if you wish.

Step 10

Secure the hinges to the glass door, being sure the silicon gaskets are on both sides of the glass and that the black spacers are in the hinge holes.

Tighten down the bolts with the provided wrench. Next, install the door handle on the glass door being sure the silicon washers are in the screw

holes. Finally, with a helper holding the door in place, secure the hinges to the doorframe using 3 5x30mm screws per hinge.

NOTE: Gaskets may not be the same color as indicated in the photo.

Step 11

On the side opposite the hinges, run your nger on the doorframe gasket to feel for the pre-drilled magnet hole. Cut away the gasket covering

the hole with a sharp utility knife, and tap the provided door-magnet in place. Next, locate the metal sleeve and position on the door so that it

aligns with the magnet.

Step 12

Locate the roof trim pieces. Starting with the trim piece above the door, begin installing the trim pieces around the upper rim of your sauna us-

ing 3x40mm screws. NOTE: The longer trim pieces will have to be cut to size.

OPERATION

After the sauna has been installed, sweep down the inside to remove any sawdust and wood shavings, and then vacuum com-

pletely. Using a damp cloth and warm water, wipe down the entire sauna including the benches to remove any remaining dirt,

dust and debris. Rinse o the sauna stones and install them in or on the heater in accordance with the heater manufacturer’s

instructions. Improper placement of heater stones can result in lower than desired heat temperatures. The rst time you turn

the heater on, set it to the maximum setting and operate it for about 30 minutes with the door propped open. Then close the

door and allow your sauna to come up to the desired temperature.

Since you most likely will use your sauna as both a “wet sauna”and a “dry sauna”, you should install the sauna stones that have

been included with the heater, following the manufacturer’s instructions. These stones are necessary if water will be sprinkled

on the heater to create the “wet sauna”, and they will produce more consistent heating in the dry mode (without the use of

water). It is common for a stone to occasionally crack during initial heating. If excess amounts of water are used during sauna,

prop door open to let the humidity escape. Not much water is necessary to achieve a “wet sauna”.

The amount of ventilation in the sauna can be adjusted by means of the vent located toward the top of the sau-na. It is impor-

tant to have adequate fresh air owing through the sauna, and this ow can be adjusted with the movable vent cover.

TRADITIONAL STEPS IN TAKING A SAUNA BATH

STEP #1 Set your heater so that the sauna room achieves the desired temperature, usually between 150º F and 170º F.

As a novice, you should begin at the lower end of this range and work your way up to the higher temperatures

over several sauna baths.

STEP #2 Remove all clothing (except maybe your swimsuit), eyeglasses, contact lenses, jewelry, etc. Take a quick shower

with warm water and soap, or a quick dip in your hot tub.

STEP #3 Enter the sauna initially for about 5 to 15 minutes. Bring a towel into the sauna onto which you can sit or lay.

Leave the sauna room once you have begun to perspire freely.

STEP #4 Now you may take a cold plunge in your swimming pool, shower or snow bank. After that, relax and cool down

for another 10 to 20 minutes.

STEP #5 Re-enter the sauna. On this return visit you may wish to sprinkle small amounts of water onto the stones creating

bursts of steam. If the water spills through the heater and onto the oor, you are using too much, although this

will not hurt the heater or the sauna.

STEP #6 After your nal visit to the sauna, relax for at least 20 minutes. Shower with soap and warm water. Finish your

shower with cooler water to close the pores of your skin. Dress only after you have cooled down completely.

NOTE: Whatever your sauna regimen, it is important that you keep yourself hydrated by drinking plenty of water!
