SECTION 6: THEORY of OPERATION
This heater is always ready and is designed to keep the rocks in the rock chamber hot at all times using a “Continuous Power” setting of 100 Watts, 200 Watts or 300 Watts. This amount of energy is stored and accumulates in the rocks while the lid is closed.
First time use or with rocks cold:
With the lid closed, turn the system on by pressing the Reset button on the control. Next press the upper “>” right arrow until the 60 minute indicator glows. The sauna heater will be close to operational temperatures in 1 hour. Refer to Diagram 4 for Control Discription.
Normal Use:
Rocks are hot and lid is closed. Open the lid to allow the energy to transfer into the room. Leave room and return in
Sprinkle the water on as desired to personal preferences of temperature and humidity. Wait a few seconds and add another ladle of water on rocks. The humidity in the air will rise and make the room feel hot. Continue to add water as desired. The room temperature will also rise. If air becomes uncomfortable, close the lid and this will remove the heat source.
This heater is designed to have the lid open for a maximum of 60 minutes for any sauna bath.
The steam is very hot and forceful. Please stay clear of opening while sprinkling water on the rocks.
After sauna bath, the lid should be closed to allow the Continuous Power to replenish the rock temperatures.
Tips: Continuous Power settings vs. time to replenish rock temperatures: Use sauna 4 - 5 times a week, set on 300 W
Use sauna 2 - 3 times a week, set on 200 W Use sauna 1 time a week, set on 100 W
Turn on Boost Power if lid will be open longer than 30 minutes during 1 session. This will keep rocks hot to create steam.
Note: Sauna temperatures are typically measured one foot from the ceiling. The Saunatonttu is designed to operate between 130 and 150 degrees F, although it can achieve higher temperatures if allowed to heat with the lid open for an hour.

installed in a sauna room.
A guardrail or fence is
required around the
