Garden-Series Model G6

1. Installation requirements

The base or foundation for the Sauna must be leveled and stable. The Sauna must be at least 3 inches higher than the surrounding ground. All base beams must have a support under them. Weight of the sauna: 2645 lbs.

Diagram: A top-down view of the sauna base with dimensions is provided. Key dimensions include the overall length of 7'-7 3/8" and width of 6'-7 5/8". Specific support beam dimensions and placement are indicated, along with locations for a drain pipe and main power pipe.

Recommendation: Place the Sauna on concrete blocks or strips with compressed gravel underneath. Using geotextile under the Sauna prevents grass and weed growth. Placing the Sauna on a terrace or pavement is also possible, but the Sauna should still be elevated above the surface.

2. Transport

The Sauna is packed in a protective OSB box. Do not disassemble the OSB box until after lifting the sauna into its final location. The total weight of the sauna with the OSB box is 2976 lbs.

Diagrams:

• Lifting from above with crane: Illustrates using lifting straps (min. length 12m) attached to the top of the sauna structure.
• Lifting from below with forklift: Shows forklift placement. Forks should be at least 2/3 of the way through when lifting from the short side. For lifting from the long side, forks must go all the way through the designated notches.

3. Protective OSB box disassembling

Dismantle the protective OSB box before final assembly. OSB boards are fastened with small screws covered with round stickers. The stickers are painted black and prevent paint from getting into screw heads, making screws easier to find.

Disassembling steps:

1. Remove stickers from the boards.
2. Unscrew the boards with a power screwdriver.
3. Remove the OSB boards and stack them on a level surface.
4. Ensure that the supports of the boards do not come loose and fall down when loosening the screws.

Diagram: A visual representation of the OSB box with screws indicated by red dots. Loose material (gutter, rainwater pipe, base boards) is shown packaged on the roof. Screws are noted as being under round stickers around the perimeter and on all sides.

Post-disassembly steps:

• Once all boards are removed, start dismantling the board supports at the top and bottom of the sauna.
• The sauna has a wooden frame at the top not attached to the sauna itself.
• The lower part of the boards is supported with timber, fastened with longer screws.
• After removing board supports and the roof frame, the final assembly can begin.

Diagram: Shows the sauna structure after OSB removal, with instructions to remove the timber frame from the roof (if not fixed onto the sauna) and packing timber fixed to the base beams with screws.

Important Notes (PS!):

• Be aware of the risk of falling objects when unpacking.
• Screw markings on drawings are indicative.
• Dispose of packaging material according to local requirements.

Base boards installation

Baseboards are decorative and pre-cut to the correct length with pre-drilled holes. Ensure the correct board is used on the correct side. Attach each baseboard to the base beams using 4x50mm black woodscrews.

Diagram: Shows the sauna with labels indicating where to attach the gutter, drop outlet, downpipe, outlet, and base boards using specified screws and rivets.

Interior floor grid adjustment

For heater installation, ensure the heater rests directly on the ground, not on the grids. This can be achieved by cutting a hole in the grids to match the heater's size or by rotating the grids 90 degrees for a proper fit and to maintain effective airflow around the heater.

Rainwater system installation

1. Secure gutter brackets to the wall using 5x70 woodscrews (2 per bracket), distributing gaps equally between five brackets.
2. Mount brackets with a slight downward angle towards the drain outlet.
3. Mark the underside of the gutter for the downpipe location and cut an opening with a hacksaw.
4. Position the gutter on the brackets and push down until it clicks.
5. Place the drop outlet over the hole and secure its edges with pliers if necessary.
6. Install downpipe brackets using 5x70 screws (two each) on the centerline of the drop outlet and at the elbow outlet.
7. Insert the downpipe into the drop outlet and fasten the pipe to the wall with brackets.
8. Use rivets to attach the pipe ends to the outlets.

Diagrams: Illustrate gutter inclination, bracket placement, cutting the gutter opening, and securing the downpipe.

5. Instructions for adjusting sauna door

Adjusting the hinge

1. Remove hinge covers from the inside of the sauna to access the bolts.
2. Slightly unscrew the bolts on both hinges to loosen the door leaf.
3. Adjust the door leaf position within the frame.
4. Tighten the bolts when the gaps between the door glass and frame are equal and parallel.

6. Sauna electrical connections

Saunas are prewired for LED lights, speakers, and ventilator. All electrical connections must be made by a certified electrician.

Electrical connections:

• Two electrical boxes (120 VAC and 240 VAC) are located behind the wooden door on the side of the sauna. The door can be unlocked with the provided small key.
• The top electrical panel (120 VAC) is for LED lights, and the lower panel (240 VAC) is for the heater control unit + ventilator. Access doors to electrical boxes can be opened with a flat head screwdriver.
• To access electrical connections, unscrew metal covers using a TX20 screwdriver.
• Distribution terminal blocks are found behind the metal covers for connecting power supply cables. Powering lights/vent: 120V max. 1kW/9A (three 16AWG, 600V wires). Powering heater: 240V max. 11kW/46A (four 10AWG, 600V wires). All cables must be for external use only.
• Three conduit pipes underneath the sauna are for running power cables.
• Cables enter the 240 VAC box through bottom holes (Figure 2, POWER). 120 VAC box cables enter through the side (Figure 2, POWER).
• Wires connect to distribution terminal blocks and are tightened with screws (Figure 2, Nr.8).

Wiring details for terminal blocks:

• 240 VAC box: L1 - 120 VAC live wire, L2 - 120 VAC live wire, N - neutral wire, PE – ground wire.
• 120 VAC box: L1 - 120 VAC live wire, N - neutral wire, PE – ground wire.

The 240 VAC electrical cabinet has space for mounting the heater control unit box (Figure 2, Heater Control Box). All cables for the control unit are labeled (Heater power, Heater vent, Temp. sensor, Controller, Door sensor). Follow the heater manufacturer's installation manuals.

Preparations are made for controller installation inside or outside the sauna. A string is threaded through conduit to a 120VAC electrical box (Figure 2, Controller & Controller box). Two options for installing the heater control unit:

1. 9.1. Inside the sauna: Before installing the controller, ensure it meets steam room installation requirements. A cavity wall box is located behind wall panels and connected to the 120VAC electrical box via conduit. Drill a 2.5-inch hole through the wall panel as indicated in Figure 4. Use the string in the cavity box to pull the controller cable through the conduit. Always follow the manufacturer's installation manual for cable selection.
2. 9.2. Outside the sauna: The sauna has an external controller box. Behind this box is a conduit connected to the 120 VAC electrical box. Drill a 2.5-inch hole in the back wall of the controller box (Figure 3). Run the controller cable through the conduit into the electrical box, following the manufacturer's instructions. The door sensor cable (2x0.75) is pre-placed through the door threshold. The door sensor must be installed flush with the door threshold, and the magnet glued underneath the door frame.

Temperature sensor installation: Inside the wall is a rigid pipe leading to the 120 VAC electrical box. Drill a hole (at least 2 inches deep, but not more than 3 inches) in the heater side of the wall for the temperature sensor. The location is shown in Figure 5. Measurements are taken from the window frame and ceiling. Pull the suitable cable through the hole and pipe. Follow heater manufacturer installation manuals.

Diagrams: Figure 3 shows a drill hole for accessing conduit and running wires. Figure 4 illustrates drilling a hole for the controller cable. Figure 5 indicates the pipe location for the temperature sensor.
