710-0107 Panel Built Installation
Rev. 01
NOTE: Two 3/8” holes have been drilled through the frame of the
upper L-bench. With the top of the benches aligned, use a 3/8” drill bit
and drill through the 2 provided holes and through the face of the main
upper bench. Bolt the two benches together using the 5-1/2” carriage
bolts provided (
photo O). Custom designed rooms may have a
different bench configuration.
Backrest Installation
Some sauna models include backrests. Actual installation height will vary,
depending upon the height of the sauna owner/user. Position it so the
backrest is in the mid-back/shoulder blade area... whatever feels most
comfortable. A standard height is 20” from top of bench to top of backrest.
21 Making sure it is level, hold the backrest at your preferred height,
fasten it to the wall through the predrilled holes, using 2” screws
(photo P). Wood plugs are provided to cover the exposed screw head.
22 Repeat step 25 if more than one backrest is included. Typically
one backrest for each upper bench is included.
Exterior Facia Installation
NOTE:
Do not install the facia until your heater is wired since the
electrical access board may need to be removed.
23 The facia can be installed using simple butt-end cuts, or with mitre
cuts. If using butt-end joints, cut the side wall facia the same length as
the side walls (photo Q). Using the provided galvanized finishing nails,
fasten with the top edge of the facia flush with the top edge of the
ceiling panel. The front facia should be cut to overlap the side facia.
Install flush with top of ceiling panel.
Heater Guard Installation
24 Place the heater guard around the heater as described in your
heater instructions. Spacing may vary according to heater kilowatt.
NOTE:
The front rails of the 2-sided heater guard can be cut to desired
length before assembly.
Interior Light Installation
25 The light should be wired by a licensed electrician according to
local codes. The light can be mounted on a wall of your choice. If you
plan to use the corner lampshade, then the light will need to be
installed tightly into a corner, 4” down from the cove molding (photo
R). Otherwise, off to one side of the door is most common.
Sauna Heater Installation
26 The heater should be wired by a licensed electrician according
to the specifications provided with the heater. One of the wall panels
has a removable board to allow for wiring access to the heater (photo
S). This tongue and groove board is located in the trim package. After
the wiring is completed, attach the board with the galvanized nails
provided in the hardware pack.
