• Allow the sauna to cool completely and ventilate thoroughly.

5.2 Regular Operation

1. Pre-heating: Close the sauna door and turn on the 4.5KW Toule sauna heater using the control panel. Set your desired temperature between 0°C - 90°C (32°F - 195°F). Allow 30-60 minutes for the sauna to reach the set temperature.
