Specifications

What's Included

The standard HIVE delivery set includes the electric heater, four adjustable legs, air tunnel and heater installation/operation manual. HUUM states that the air tunnel is included as standard on HIVE Mini models from 2025 onward.

Required separately: Compatible HUUM UKU control system, 150 kg of suitable stones and heat-resistant power cable. Confirm current package contents for the exact unit before installation.

Installation

• Measure the sauna room and confirm it falls within HUUM’s 177–318 cu. ft. range, applying any adjustment required for uninsulated stone, tile or glass surfaces.
• Have a licensed electrician verify the required 240 V, 2~ service, 30 A breaker, minimum 10 AWG conductors, grounding and applicable electrical code. BathingBrands lists “240V/1PH,” while HUUM’s US specifications specify 240 V, 2~; use the current manual and electrician’s determination.
• Place the heater on a stable, level supporting floor and use the adjustable legs as directed.
• Install a compatible UKU control and sensor according to their manufacturer instructions.
• Maintain all model-specific safety clearances. Keep the heater and air tunnel unobstructed.
• Load the stones carefully to protect heating elements and allow airflow. Do not power the heater without stones.

Operation and Usage

Operate the HIVE Mini 6 through a compatible HUUM UKU control after electrical installation and stone loading are complete. Allow the room to preheat. For traditional steam, carefully add small amounts of clean water to the stones only, following HUUM’s instructions.

• Keep towels, clothing, oils and other combustible items away from the heater.
• Supervise children and keep everyone clear of the heater’s hot surfaces.
• Switch off and arrange inspection if the heater, controls, wiring or stones are damaged or operation becomes abnormal.
• Sauna bathing involves heat exposure and dehydration risk. Avoid alcohol, hydrate appropriately and leave the sauna if you feel unwell. Consult a healthcare professional if a condition or medication may affect heat tolerance.
