Specifications and Maintenance: Proper maintenance of sauna stones is crucial due to temperature variations causing them to disintegrate. Stones should be rearranged at least once a year to maintain optimal heating capability and avoid overheating. Damaged stones should be replaced, and debris removed from the heater.

Heating and Usage Procedures: When first operating the heater, it may emit a smell, necessitating good ventilation. A properly insulated sauna should reach the desired temperature of 65–80°C within an hour. Models BC23 and BC35 have a timer and thermostat, while BC23E and BC35E are controlled via a separate unit.

Operating Instructions: To turn the heater on, set the timer switch to the 'on' section. For pre-setting, use the 'pre-setting' section to schedule heating. After use, switch the heater off, but it may be left on briefly to dry the sauna. The thermostat helps maintain the desired temperature, and adjustments can be made based on personal preference.

Water Usage and Safety: Water should be thrown on heated stones to maintain humidity, using a ladle with a maximum volume of 0.2 liters. Excessive water can cause splashing of boiling water. Only clean household water should be used, and specific aromas for sauna water are permissible.

Bathing Instructions: Users should wash before entering the sauna, stay as long as comfortable, and avoid disturbing others. Cooling down and rehydrating after the sauna is advised.

Warnings: Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can be dangerous. Keep children and vulnerable individuals away from the heater. Avoid using the sauna under the influence of substances, and never sleep in a hot sauna. Metal surfaces may corrode in humid climates, and drying clothes in the sauna poses a fire risk.

Troubleshooting: If the heater does not heat, check fuses, connections, and settings. Slow heating may be due to tightly piled stones or insufficient heater output. Quick heating with insufficient stone temperature may indicate excessive heater output. Ensure safety distances and proper ventilation are maintained to prevent overheating and odors.

Specifications and Features: The document provides detailed specifications for sauna heaters, including mechanical timers that produce a ticking sound when functioning normally. It highlights the importance of checking the timer's wiring if it ticks when the heater is off. The document also addresses common noises caused by thermal expansion and cracking stones due to heat.

Procedures and Troubleshooting: Several troubleshooting steps are outlined for issues such as slow heating of the sauna cabin, inadequate stone temperature, and blackening of sauna walls. Recommendations include checking the heater's power, ensuring proper ventilation, and verifying the condition of the sauna stones and fuses. The document emphasizes the importance of maintaining correct safety distances and resetting the overheat protector if necessary.

Sauna Room Structure and Ventilation: The sauna room must be carefully insulated with specific materials like insulation wool and moisture protection. The document provides guidelines for paneling and ventilation, recommending that air in the sauna room should change six times per hour. It also discusses the placement of supply and exhaust air vents to ensure efficient air circulation.

Heater Output and Installation: The heater output is determined by the sauna's volume and the presence of non-insulated walls. The document provides a formula for calculating the required heater output and emphasizes the importance of following installation instructions to prevent fire hazards. Only one electrical heater should be installed per sauna room.

Hygiene and Maintenance: Regular cleaning of the sauna benches, walls, and floor is recommended every six months using a scrubbing brush and sauna detergent. Lime stains on the heater should be removed with a citric acid solution. Bench towels should be used to protect against sweat.

Electrical Connections: Electrical connections must be made by a professional electrician, adhering to current regulations. The document specifies the type of connecting cable required and the conditions under which electrical equipment can be installed in the sauna room.

Safety and Compliance: Safety distances and installation details are provided to ensure compliance with fire safety standards. The document includes diagrams and tables to assist with proper installation and maintenance of sauna heaters.

Installation and Electrical Connections: The sauna heater must be installed by a certified electrician following current regulations. The heater is semi-permanently attached to a splash-proof junction box on the sauna wall, no higher than 500 mm from the floor. Use a rubber cable type H07RN-F for connections, as PVC-insulated cables are not heat-resistant enough. If cables are installed higher than 1000 mm, they must withstand at least 170°C. Electrical devices above 1000 mm must be approved for use at 125°C ambient temperature. The BC sauna heaters have an additional terminal for controlling the electric heating.

Control Unit and Sensor Installation: The control unit comes with detailed instructions for wall mounting. The temperature sensor should be installed on the sauna wall above the heater, 100 mm below the ceiling, on the lateral center line of the heater. Ensure the air supply vent does not cool the temperature sensor.

Replacing Heating Elements: Heating elements can be replaced without detaching the heater from the wall. Steps include switching off fuses, emptying stones, removing knobs, unfastening the front panel, and cables, and then replacing the elements.

Overheat Protector Reset: If the sauna room temperature becomes dangerously high, the overheat protector will cut off the heater's power. It can be reset after cooling down, but the cause of the fault must be identified first. The reset button is located inside the heater's connection box and should only be reset by authorized personnel.

Stone Placement and Maintenance: Proper stone placement is crucial for efficient heater operation. Use angular, split stones with a diameter of 5-10 cm. Avoid lightweight, porous ceramic stones. Stones should be placed loosely to allow air circulation and should not rest on heating elements. Stones should be rearranged at least once a year to maintain optimal heating capacity.

Heating and Usage: During the first heating, the sauna may emit odors, which can be removed by proper ventilation. The sauna should reach the desired temperature in about an hour if the heater's power is appropriate. The BC23 and BC35 models have a timer and thermostat for setting operation time and temperature. Models BC23E and BC35E require a separate control unit.

Temperature and Steam Control: The thermostat maintains the sauna temperature. Start with the maximum setting and adjust as needed. Pour water on hot stones to achieve the desired humidity level.

Specifications and Procedures: The sauna oven can be set to turn on immediately or be pre-programmed to start heating after a set period. The timer can be set for up to 8 hours in advance, and the oven will remain on for approximately four hours once activated. To manually turn off the oven, set the timer switch to zero. It is recommended to leave the oven on for a short period after use to dry the wooden parts of the sauna. The thermostat is used to maintain the desired temperature in the sauna. It is advised to start at the maximum setting and adjust as needed.

Water and Humidity Management: To maintain appropriate humidity, water should be poured over the heated stones. The maximum amount of water per pour should not exceed 2 deciliters to prevent boiling water from splashing. Only use water that meets domestic quality standards and approved essences for aromatizing the steam.

Recommendations for Sauna Use: Begin with a wash, enjoy the sauna as long as comfortable, and avoid disturbing others. Cool down the skin as needed and wash after the sauna session. Rehydrate with water or a soft drink.

Warnings: Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can be dangerous. Keep children and vulnerable individuals away from the hot oven. Do not use the sauna under the influence of narcotics or sleep in a hot sauna. Ensure proper ventilation and avoid drying clothes in the sauna to prevent fire hazards.

Troubleshooting: If the oven does not heat, check the fuses, connection cables, and thermostat settings. Ensure the sauna stones are properly arranged to allow airflow and check the ventilation system.

Specifications and Recommendations: Stones should be stacked in a way that supports each other without putting weight on the resistances. Avoid forming a high pile of stones on the stove. No objects should be placed inside the stove's stone space or near it to ensure proper air flow.

Maintenance: Due to temperature variations, sauna stones crumble over time. Rearrange stones at least once a year or more frequently if used often. Remove crumbled stones to maintain optimal heating capacity and prevent overheating.

Heating the Sauna: When first used, the heater and stones emit an odor. Ventilate the sauna room adequately to eliminate it. If the heater's capacity matches the sauna room, it takes about an hour to reach the optimal temperature of +65°C to +80°C.

Stove Operation: Before turning on the stove, ensure no objects are placed on or near it. Models BC23 and BC35 have a timer and thermostat for setting operation time and desired temperature. Models BC23E and BC35E are controlled by a separate panel.

Water Properties: Water used should meet quality requirements: low mold and iron concentration, and not chlorinated or seawater.

Instructions for Use: Start with a shower, stay as long as comfortable, and relax. Do not disturb others with loud talking or excessive water on stones. Cool down after the sauna and drink water to restore fluid balance.

Warnings: Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can be dangerous. Keep children away from the hot stove. Consult a doctor about health risks related to sauna use. Do not use the sauna under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Troubleshooting: Ensure all service operations are performed by qualified personnel. If the stove does not heat, check the fuses.
