Setup and Installation

Installation of the VEVOR Sauna Heater requires careful attention to electrical and safety guidelines. It is highly recommended that a qualified electrician performs the electrical wiring.

1. Pre-Installation Considerations:

• Ensure your sauna room meets the recommended volume and height requirements (5-9m³, approx. 190cm height).
• Verify that your electrical supply matches the heater's requirements (220-240V).
• Prepare the necessary wiring (3*10 N*mm² wire recommended).
• Ensure adequate ventilation in the sauna room.

2. Mounting the Heater:

1. Measure the distance of the screw holes on the back of the sauna stove.
2. Mark the corresponding positions on the sauna room wall.
3. Install screws on the wall, ensuring they are approximately 35cm (13.8 inches) above the ground.
4. Carefully hang the sauna stove onto the installed screws, ensuring it is securely in place.

3. Electrical Wiring (220-240V):

WARNING: Electrical installation must be performed by a licensed electrician. Ensure power is disconnected at the main breaker before starting any wiring.

• Locate the wiring terminal block inside the heater's control panel.
• Connect the L1 and L2 (live) wires from your power supply to the corresponding L1 and L2 terminals on the heater.
• Connect the ground wire to the ground terminal (marked with a ground symbol).
• Ensure all connections are tight and secure.

4. Loading Sauna Stones:

• Place approximately 18kg (35 lbs) of sauna stones into the stone compartment.
• Ensure the stones are not packed too densely to allow for proper air circulation and heat distribution.
• The stones should cover the heating elements but not obstruct the air vents.
• Note: Sauna stones are not included with the heater.
