and time to 90 minutes. Record the starting/beginning temperature and the
temperature after 15 minute intervals up to 90 minutes (do not enter the unit
or open the door during this test). If the sauna room goes above 130 degrees
F (usually after about 40 to 50 minutes of preheating with a beginning
temperature above 70 degrees F) at any given time, then we know that the
heat emitters are working successfully. With even one heat emitter not
working correctly, the sauna room will struggle to get above 130 degrees F
within the average allotted time. The next test would be to enter the sauna
room and to cautiously place your hand on the back side of the bench heat
emitter in the center (this would normally be covered by the bench which you
already removed). If you touch the heat emitter panel and it is warm-to-hot,
then it is working correctly. If you are able to place your hand on the back
side of the heat emitter and it feels like there is no heat being produced, then
we know it is not working properly and you will need to contact Customer
Service. You can also check the floor heat emitter by touching the heat
emitter cautiously with your finger. You will need to remove the wood grade
cover to get a true feeling of the heat from the floor heat emitter. Please do
keep in mind that the bench heat emitter and floor heat emitter only keep the
area below the bench warm as heat always rises. The majority of heat is
concentrated above the bench. You can use a towel to drape over your legs
to trap the heat as it rises if your lower extremities feel a draft.
11. Intentional Rear Wall Warp
Solution: The rear wall panel is intentionally warped as part of the sauna
design. This adds strength to the sauna structure once the unit is assembled.
Please try the following in assembling the sauna. With one person inside the
sauna room and pushing on the rear wall panel outward, a second person
should be able to latch the buckles. Make sure that the wall is fitting together
like a puzzle as one wall panel fits into the other. Work your way down from
top to bottom.
12. Too Much Perspiration On The Floor Heater
Solution: Use 2 towels during your sauna session. Fold the first towel
several times and place it on the bench. As you sit on this towel, it will absorb
a majority of your perspiration while adding comfort as you sit on the bench.
Use the second towel to constantly wipe the perspiration from your body to
perspire faster and also to avoid having too much perspiration dripping onto
the floor heater. Never place any towels over the floor heater.
