Mounting the Sauna Heater
Using the heater mounting bracket as a guide, drill four 1/8” holes to fasten the bracket on the wall. Attach the bracket with the 1/4” x 1 1/2” screws supplied with the heater. The screws must be threaded through the wall into a framing member or backing board to hold the heater weight.
The heater is reversible. You can choose to locate the heater timer and thermostat controls on either the right or left side for easy operation. To reverse the heater, simply remove the rock guard from the top of the heater, rotate them and reinstall.
Line up the four holes at the bottom of the heater with four lugs on the mounting bracket. Push the heater gently towards the wall, so the lugs of the mounting bracket pass through the four holes in the heater. Fasten the heater to the mounting bracket using the two #8 sheet metal screws provided with the heater.
Heater Rock Placement
The rocks supplied with the heater have been chosen to provide the best heater performance. Use of any type of rock other than those provided will void the heater’s warranty. Never operate the heater without rocks in place.
Rinse the rocks with water before placing them in the heater. Place the larger rocks at the bottom and the smallest at the top. Place the rocks loosely so that air can circulate through the heater. Packing the rocks too tightly may cause the heater high limit switch to trip. The rocks must fully cover the heating elements. Attach the guard with the screws provided.
