2.3. Sauna heater stones

Quality stones meet the following requirements:
- Sauna stones should withstand heat and heat variation caused by vaporisation of the water thrown on the stones.
- Stones should be rinsed before use in order to avoid odour and dust.
- Sauna stones should have an uneven surface to supply a larger surface for the water to evaporate from.
- Sauna stones should be large enough, measuring about 60–100 mm to allow good ventilation between the stones.
This extends the useful life of the heating elements.
- Sauna stones should be piled sparsely in order to enhance ventilation between the stones. Do not bend the heating
elements together or against the frame.
- Rearrange the stones regularly (at least once a year) and replace small and broken stones with new, larger stones.
- Stones are piled so that they cover the heating elements. Do not, however, pile a large heap of stones on the heating
elements. For a sufficient amount of stones refer to Table 2 on page 8. Any small stones in the package of stones
must not be piled on the sauna heater.
- The warranty does not cover defects resulting from poor ventilation caused by small and tightly packed stones.
- Structural clay tiles are not allowed. They may cause damage to the sauna heater that will not be covered
by the warranty.
- Do not use soapstone as sauna rocks. Any damages resulting from this will not be covered by the stove warranty.
- Do not use lava stone as sauna rocks. Any damages resulting from this will not be covered by the stove warranty.
- DO NOT USE THE HEATER WITHOUT STONES.

2.4. 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 you can turn the sauna heater on again.
The sauna heater is turned on from the control panel that has controls for the heating temperature and time.
The heating of a sauna should be started 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.
Do not put any objects on the sauna heater. Do not dry clothes on the sauna heater or anywhere in its vicinity.

2.5. If the sauna heater will not heat up

If the sauna heater will not heat up, please check that:
- the power is on;
- the main fuses of the sauna heater are intact;
- is there any error messages on the control panel. In case of an error message on the control
panel, please refer to the control panel instructions.
