Maintenance Tips

• Re-stack & replace sauna stones (6–12 months): Use 5–10 cm stones and keep them loosely packed to maintain airflow and consistent heat.
• Avoid overpacking stones: Proper spacing is critical—this model relies on optimized air circulation for steady temperature performance.
• Use clean water only: Do not add oils, salt, or chemicals; they can damage heating elements and cause buildup.
• Inspect heating elements periodically: Extra-long elements are designed for durability—keep them free from direct pressure for longer lifespan.
• Clean stainless steel exterior: Wipe down regularly to prevent moisture corrosion and maintain the modern finish.
• Maintain proper ventilation & clearances: Follow minimum safety distances (~3 inches sides/front) to prevent overheating and ensure efficient operation.
• Check controls & timer function: Built-in illuminated controls should operate smoothly for consistent heating cycles.
• Descale if needed (hard water areas): Prevent mineral buildup that can reduce heating efficiency over time.
