- If you are unsure about disposal, please contact the manufacturer. Information on proper disposal can be obtained from local waste disposal centres.

Electrical requirements

- Each sauna must be connected to its own electrical circuit. Therefore, do not connect any other electronic devices to the socket to which the sauna is connected. Failure to observe this instruction can lead to interruptions in the electrical circuit or to reduced performance. The wiring must be carried out properly by a specialist in order to avoid hazards and ensure functionality. Ensure that the sauna is installed correctly. If the electrical requirements are not met correctly, this can lead to serious injuries.

- Follow all instructions carefully. Avoid water and other liquids that could pose a risk to the sauna. Choose a dry location for the installation of indoor saunas. Avoid contact of liquids with heating elements as this can lead to electric shocks. If you have any questions, please contact the manufacturer or supplier.

Safety instructions

- Do not dispose of large quantities of sauna stones in household waste, but ask your local waste disposal company about the correct method of disposal.

- Do not place sauna stones between the heating pipes.

- When stacking sauna stones, direct pressure on the heating pipe must be avoided.

- Take care not to stack too many sauna stones on the heater.

- Do not place any other objects on top of the sauna stones so that the ventilation of the sauna is not impaired or blocked.

- Heated sauna bodies and sauna stones can cause severe burns to the skin.

- Children aged 6 and over may only use saunas under the constant supervision of parents or other qualified persons. Children under the age of 6 may not enter or use saunas.

- Excessive moisture can cause electrical appliances to malfunction or damage them.

- Pouring too much water on heated sauna stones can lead to excessive boiling water vapour and cause health problems.

Sauna heating

- When using a sauna heater for the first time, ensure that the sauna is well ventilated as the sauna heater and sauna stones can give off an unpleasant odour when used for the first time.

- The sauna heater has the function of heating the sauna stones and the sauna room to a suitable temperature. The temperature of the sauna room can be brought to an appropriate level in about an hour. An appropriate sauna room temperature is around + 65 °C - 80 °C.

Use and operation of the sauna stones

Before using a sauna, make sure that no objects are stacked, leaned or otherwise stored above, next to or on the sauna. Before switching on the power, make sure that objects that could obstruct the operation of the sauna or damage it are at a safe distance from the sauna.

Sauna room

Attention! Please consult the fire protection authorities about the use of fire walls and insulation. The ventilation openings must not be insulated. Please contact your fire protection authority for information on the use of fire walls and insulation.

Safe handling of glass

1. Carry glass with both hands.

2. NEVER carry glass under your arm or above your head.

3. Always work in pairs to move large panes of glass.

4. Use the correct hand and body position so that you are not in the ‘line of fire’ in the event of breakage.

5 DO NOT stand or walk on broken glass.

6. NEVER break glass into smaller pieces with your foot or hand.

7. Do NOT hold on to broken glass or try to stop falling glass, but keep a safe distance or move to a safe place.

8. Do NOT reach for the glass or catch it by the corner.

9. ALWAYS be aware of your surroundings and the other people around you.

10. Inspect the packaging and glass before unpacking to minimise potential hazards.

11. Make sure that there are no people in the area where the glass is being moved.

Emergency preparation

It is important to be prepared for possible accidents involving glass products. Here are some tips for emergency preparation:

First Aid: Keep basic first aid supplies in the house to respond to injuries caused by broken glass. In particular, you should keep antiseptic agents and bandages for cuts and minor injuries to hand. Sterile gauze bandages, plasters and scissors should also be part of the first aid kit.

Emergency numbers: Keep emergency numbers in an easily accessible place. Hang up the telephone numbers of emergency services, the fire brigade and close family members in a clearly visible place.

Safe handling of stoves in saunas

The manufacturer's standards and regulations and local regulations for installation and operation must be complied with!

THE GENERAL FIRE SAFETY REGULATIONS MUST ALWAYS BE OBSERVED!

Read and observe the following safety regulations:

- Never light a fire with petrol or other substances unsuitable for this purpose

- Keep fire-lighting equipment out of the reach of children

- Never leave children unsupervised around appliances that are lit or otherwise generate a lot of heat

- Do not store flammable materials or liquids in the immediate vicinity of the appliances.

- When handling hot surfaces, hold them by the handles provided or use heat-resistant protective gloves.

- The base of a fireplace, the body of the ash drawer and the separate ash pan become extremely hot during use. Do not touch the unprotected parts during use without heat-resistant protective gloves.

- Ensure that the appliance is securely fastened to its base and never lean against the appliance or the smoke hood/smoke outlet.

- The fireplace is not intended for burning waste. Never burn disposable crockery, plastic, cardboard or similar materials. Burning parts can also form and be carried away by the air and cause fires in the surrounding area.

- Avoid burning splintery types of wood such as fir, birch or alder in your fireplace.

- Always use an appropriate fire. The height of the flames must not exceed the centre between the fireplace and the smoke outlet. Too large a fire and too high temperatures can damage the fireplace and its surroundings.

- Ensure that the necessary fire-fighting equipment is available near the place of use and instruct users on the correct behaviour in a dangerous situation.

- Do not start cooking until the surface of the fuel used has turned to ash and the possible odours have subsided on first use.

- When setting up the stove, pay attention to the amount of smoke produced so that neighbours or your own living space are not affected.

- Do not leave any external electrical devices such as telephones, radios, televisions etc. within a radius of 1.5 metres of a sauna or hot tub. Never attempt to operate an electrical device that is not intended for this purpose in saunas or hot tubs.

Never leave ovens unattended during use and be careful when using them.

CAUTION

Carbon monoxide (CO) is produced by incomplete combustion or defects in poorly maintained wood, oil or gas appliances.

- Carbon monoxide hazard - DEVICES powered by wood, oil or gas can produce carbon monoxide (no odour). Do not use in enclosed spaces (for example: car, tent, caravan), this can lead to death. These appliances may only be used in an area above the ground, with adequate ventilation, without dead spaces where gas leaks & combustion products can be quickly dispersed by the wind.

- Use these appliances only in the position intended for the appliance.

- These appliances may only be serviced by an authorised person.

- Do not use these appliances if they are damaged or show signs of wear.

- Do not move the appliances during operation.

- Ensure that the flue is clear by regularly checking the flue for blockages caused by leaves, branches and animals and removing them if necessary.

IF YOU ARE NOT SURE what to do, contact specialised personnel or your dealer.
