4. Setup and Installation
The Mxmoonant 6KW sauna heater features a wall-mounted design to optimize space within your sauna room. Proper installation is critical for safety and performance.
4.1 Pre-Installation Checklist
- Ensure the sauna room size is appropriate for a 6KW heater (170 to 300 cubic feet).
- Verify that the electrical supply meets the heater's requirements (220V).
- Have a licensed electrician available for wiring.
- Acquire 30-40 lbs of suitable sauna stones.
- Confirm adequate clearance around the heater location.
4.2 Installation Steps
- Mains Connection:
Before any electrical work, ensure the main power supply to the sauna room is turned OFF at the circuit breaker. Connect the heater to the 220V electrical supply. This step MUST be performed by a licensed electrician to ensure correct wiring (GND, L1, L2, N connections) and adherence to all local electrical codes.
- Install Heat Shielding (if applicable):
If your sauna room requires additional heat shielding behind the heater, install it according to manufacturer guidelines and local regulations. This protects the wall from excessive heat.
- Mount the Heater on the Wall:
Securely mount the sauna heater to a sturdy wall structure using the provided mounting screws and washers. Ensure the heater is level and firmly attached. The wall-mounted design helps save floor space.

- Piling Sauna Stones:
Carefully place the sauna stones into the stone compartment of the heater. Arrange them loosely to allow for proper air circulation. Do not pack them too tightly. Ensure the stones cover the heating elements but do not obstruct the air vents.
- Set Temperature and Time:
Once installation is complete and verified by a licensed electrician, you can proceed to set the desired temperature and time using the control knobs.

5.2 Initial Use
- Ensure sauna stones are properly placed in the heater.
- Turn on the main power supply to the sauna heater.
- Set the desired temperature using the temperature control knob.
- Set the desired heating time using the time control knob. The heater will begin to warm up.
- Allow the sauna room to reach the set temperature. The heater will cycle on and off to maintain this temperature.
5.3 Creating Steam
Once the sauna stones are hot, you can gently pour small amounts of water over them to create steam. Use a ladle for this purpose. Do not pour large quantities of water at once, as this can cool the stones too quickly or cause water to splash onto the heating elements.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your sauna heater.
- Cleaning:
Ensure the heater is completely cool and disconnected from power before cleaning. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Periodically remove sauna stones and clean out any debris or dust from the stone compartment.
- Stone Inspection:
Inspect sauna stones regularly for signs of crumbling or deterioration. Replace any broken or worn-out stones to maintain efficient heating and prevent damage to the heating elements.
- Electrical Connections:
Periodically have a licensed electrician inspect the electrical connections for tightness and signs of wear.
7. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your sauna heater.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Heater does not turn on. | No power supply, circuit breaker tripped, faulty wiring, timer not set. | Check main power supply. Reset circuit breaker. Verify timer is set. Consult a licensed electrician to check wiring. |
| Heater turns on but does not heat. | Faulty heating element, temperature knob set too low, thermostat issue. | Ensure temperature knob is set to a high enough setting. Inspect heating elements for visible damage (only when cool and power off). Contact customer support or a qualified technician. |
| Sauna room not reaching desired temperature. | Sauna room too large for heater, poor insulation, door/window leaks, insufficient sauna stones, stones packed too tightly. | Verify room volume is within 170-300 cu.ft. Check for air leaks. Ensure 30-40 lbs of stones are used and loosely arranged. |
| Loud cracking or popping noises during operation. | Expansion/contraction of metal, stones settling, incorrect type or amount of stones. | Some noise is normal due to thermal expansion. Ensure correct type and amount of sauna stones are used and they are not packed too tightly. If excessive, consult customer support. |
