Installation

• Confirm that the sauna room falls within the 354–918 cu. ft. manufacturer range and follow the manual's adjustment guidance for glass, tile or other surfaces.
• Have a licensed electrician confirm the 240 V single-phase, 60 Hz service, circuit protection, conductor size, grounding and local-code requirements for this exact installation.
• Position the heater vertically on the floor and maintain every clearance shown in the current Harvia manual.
• Install a compatible external controller and its sensor as directed; do not energize the heater without the required control system.
• Load suitable 10–15 cm sauna stones loosely to preserve airflow. Never operate the heater without stones.

Operation and Usage

Operate the heater only through a compatible external control installed and configured according to the Harvia instructions. Allow the sauna to preheat, then apply clean water sparingly to the hot stones for steam. Do not pour water on controls or electrical components.

• Keep towels and other combustible materials clear of the heater and maintain the manual's safety clearances.
• Supervise children and avoid contact with hot surfaces.
• Switch off and arrange service if the heater, controller or wiring is damaged or behaves abnormally.
• Sauna bathing involves heat exposure and dehydration risk. Avoid alcohol and leave the sauna if you feel unwell.
