Maintenance Tips

• Re-stack & replace sauna stones (6–12 months): Keep 5–10 cm stones loosely packed to ensure proper airflow and even heat distribution for the built-in element system.
• Avoid overpacking stones: Tight stacking restricts airflow and can cause overheating or reduced heater performance.
• Use clean water only: Do not use oils, salt, or chemicals on stones—this helps prevent residue buildup and protects heating elements.
• Inspect heating elements regularly: Ensure stones are not pressing directly on coils to avoid premature wear or failure.
• Wipe stainless steel exterior: Remove moisture after use to prevent corrosion and maintain a clean finish.
• Check built-in controls (timer & thermostat): Ensure dials function smoothly and heater shuts off automatically after cycles for safe operation.
• Maintain proper ventilation: Good airflow improves heating efficiency and prevents overheating in the sauna room.
• Descale in hard water areas: Periodically remove mineral buildup to maintain optimal heating performance.
