Instructions

Warm-Up Procedure

  • drink at least 250ml of water 30mins prior to beginning your sauna
  • do not be hungry or over fed at the time of the sauna
  • have a non-glass water bottle
  • have one towel for inside the sauna to sit/lay on
  • have another towel for drying after your last shower

Start-Up Procedure

  • plug the extension cord into the outlet at the rear of the sauna
  • verify operation of the powered GFCI receptacle – press the test button and then reset button to ensure safe operating of the circuit.
  • plug in the male end of the extension cord into the functioning outlet.
  • enter the sauna to turn on the heater. The control switch is located near the floor on the right side of the short bench.
  • use the spray bottle to wet the cement board and mist the rocks.
  • allow the heater to warm up for ~30 minutes

Shut-Down Procedure

  • ensure the heater control switch is in the ‘off’ possition
  • wipe off excess moisture from the bench tops and back rest
  • remove excess water from the floor with a towell or squeegee
  • unplug the extension cord from the sauna
  • open the rear window to provide air circulation to dry out remaining humidity
  • lock the door

Operation Tips

  • high humidity is essential for an effective sauna experience. The steam acts as a conducter of the heat energy to fill the room with heat
  • the cement board should be kept damp/wet so there is a constant supply of steam.
  • water can be poured on the rocks when you can no longer hear the existing water boiling off, usually every 10-15 minutes
  • although unpleasant at first – the element of the cold shower offers scientific and metaphyiscal benefits
  • the sauna and rocks hold heat well, shut off the heater at the first notice that it feels too hot as the temperature will increase after shutting off the heater
