Maintenance Tips

• Re-stack sauna stones (every 6–12 months): Use 5–10 cm stones and keep them loosely arranged to maintain strong airflow and prevent overheating of elements.
• Replace cracked or settled stones: Broken stones reduce heat efficiency and can expose heating elements to damage.
• Avoid overpacking stones: Proper spacing ensures even heat distribution and extends element lifespan.
• Use clean water only: Do not use oils, salt, or chemicals—prevents residue buildup and protects heating elements.
• Inspect heating elements regularly: Ensure stones are not pressing directly on coils to avoid premature failure.
• Wipe stainless steel exterior: Remove moisture after each use to prevent corrosion and maintain finish quality.
• Check built-in controls (thermostat & timer): Ensure dials function smoothly and heater shuts off correctly after cycles.
• Maintain proper ventilation & clearance: Keep airflow unobstructed for safe operation and consistent heating performance.
• Deep clean seasonally: Remove dust and inspect internal wiring connections if performance drops.
