Operating Instructions
Your Harvia Spirit sauna heater is designed for quick heating and ease of use. Follow these steps to operate your sauna:
- Power On: Ensure the main power supply to the sauna heater is active.
- Setting Temperature: Use the Harvia Xenio control unit to set your desired sauna temperature. The heater heats up very quickly.
- Generating Steam: Once the stones are hot, you can generate steam by carefully pouring a small amount of water over the sauna stones using a ladle. The large surface area of the stones allows for efficient steam production.
- Safety Feature: The heater includes an integrated safety function that automatically shuts off power if an object (e.g., a towel) is placed on top of the heater, preventing overheating and potential fire hazards.
- Remote Operation (with Wi-Fi): If you have the Harvia Xenio Wi-Fi Remote Control, you can control the sauna remotely via a compatible application on your smartphone. This allows you to pre-heat your sauna before you arrive home.
