H-Series Sauna Heater Installation
Homecraft sauna heaters come fully assembled. Mounting hardware is supplied with the heater.
Please remove the plastic protective coating on the outside of the heater after the sauna heater is
completely installed and always before the initial start-up
Mounting the Sauna heater:
The H-series sauna heaters are to be installed 12'’ from the floor and need to have 42'’ of space
above the heater to the ceiling to meet safety requirements to combustible materials.
1.
Place the heater on the wall and with a marker safely mark where the brackets should go. Ensure
the heater is level and meets the safety requirements to combustibles before securing the
brackets to the wall.
2.
Lay the heater on the floor and remove the bottom plate. Open the appropriate knock-outs in
the electrical box and install a seal-tight connector. Connect the wiring as shown in the wiring
diagram and secure the bottom plate.
3.
Ensure the meets the distance to combustible safety distances4.
The thermostat temperature sensor should be mounted inside the sauna room in line with the
heater 2.5'’ from the ceiling. If the sensor bulb is not positioned correctly, tripping of the high
limit switch will occur.
5.
Ensure that a heater guard is placed around the heater for safety and that the heater guard
maintains the safe distances to the sauna heater.
6.
Fill the heater rock basket with igneous rocks. NOTE: This sauna heater should never be
operated without rocks.
7.
Rock Placement:
To many rocks will suffocate the heat inside of the sauna heater causing the high-limit safety switch
to turn the heater off. Ensure proper airflow around the rocks. Ensure that the sauna rocks are not
packed together too tightly in the rock basket. Cool air is entering the heater at the bottom, being
heated by the elements, and rising through the top of the
heater. If airflow is impeded due to rock placement, superheated air will build up inside the heater
resulting in the Temperature High Limit Switch tripping. When installing rocks, place the first layer of
rocks scattered over the screen leaving approximately 50% of the screen
exposed. Place each additional layer of rocks across the gaps so there will be good airflow. Stack the
rocks loose and high, NOT tight and low. Use all rocks provided.
