a. Select the highest possible temperature on the sauna control unit.

b. Heat up the sauna heater for half an hour.

Do NOT remain in the sauna cabin during this period.

2. Heatingtheevaporatorforthersttime

a. Select a low temperature and high humidity on the sauna control unit.

b. Heat up the evaporator with half the amount of water (see page 20)

Do NOT remain in the sauna cabin during this period.

c. Switchothesaunacontrolunitafterapprox.15minutes.

d. Allow the evaporator to cool (for approx. half an hour).

e. Empty the water tank (see Filling the evaporator on page 20)

f. Repeat step 2.b.

g. Allow the sauna cabin to ventilate thoroughly after heating for

thersttime.

h. If no smoke or odours form the next time the sauna heater is heated,

you can start to use the sauna.

If smoke or odour is produced again, leave the sauna cabin immedi-

ately and repeat the initial heating up process followed by ventilation.

Instructions for use for the user p. 18/26

A sauna control unit is used to operate the sauna heater. For information on how

to operate the sauna control unit, read the operating instructions for the device

used. Please note that only sauna control units without a remote start function

are permitted for use with the Concept R combi sauna heater.

6. Operation

WARNING!

Risk of re

Combustible objects that are placed on the heater will ignite and cause

res.

●NEVER place combustible objects on the sauna heater.

●MakesurethatNOammableobjectshavebeenplacedonthe

heater before operating it.

6.1. Finnish sauna mode

In Finnish sauna mode, only the heating system operates. Dry heat is produced.

The temperature in the cabin is high (80 to 100 °C). The maximum humidity level

of 10% is low. The temperature in the sauna cabin is regulated by your sauna

control unit.

At the end of the sauna session, you can pour an infusion of water over the

stones. Pour water over the stones using a sauna ladle. The water evaporates

and the humidity in the sauna cabin increases.

With the optional safety shutdown feature (CP-R-SWL), the Concept

R combi sauna heater is also suitable for sauna control units WITH

a remote start function.

When pouring water over the stones, observe the following points:

●Only use tap water. Sea water, hard water and chlorinated water can damage

the sauna heater.

●Only use fragrances and essential oils that are suitable for use in saunas. Follow

the manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging of the scented substance.

●Do not pour the water onto the stones too quickly. Only this way will all the

water evaporate completely.

6.2. Combi mode

Both the heating system and evaporator operate in combi mode. The temperature

in the sauna cabin is lower than in Finnish sauna mode (approx. 40 to 65 °C),

with the relative humidity being considerably higher at 35% to approximately

70%. The maximum permissible relative humidity decreases with increasing

temperature. The temperature and the humidity in the sauna cabin are controlled

by your sauna control unit.
