Electrical & Site Preparation
The 8.0 kW stove requires dedicated 240V/40A service. Lights, controls, and audio require separate 120V/15A service. Electrical preparation is not plug-and-play and must be completed by a licensed electrician under the current manual and local code. Install the sauna on a properly prepared, level, stable base in an approved outdoor location. Verify foundation, anchoring, drainage, ventilation, weather clearance, access, permitting, and electrical requirements before ordering.
