turned the power on, and poured maybe 2 liters of water on the rocks, heard the steam
but the sauna wont heat up after 15minss.
What am I doing it worng? I am a foreigner
You might have timer on, i.e. it starts heating after sime time, maybe 3h47min. In our sauna the timer works so that when I increase the time, it goes up to 3h and after that it adds delay before heating.
Try turning time down, you should hear relay click or very small hum when it starts to heat up. In 10 minutes you should feel some heat, but full heating can take 30-60 min.
I have similar stove here. Its ”always ready” one which means it can be kept preheated for a long time, but the preheating option has to be selected.
If it is preheated it will heat up in like 10-15 minutes, and if its not it can take somewhere between 1 and 2 hours.
And about the correct amount of water, just one scoop from the bucket is enough, you can throw more scoops if its not hot enough yet. Of course first you should definitely wait until the stove is hot enough.
1. Clean your sauna first, it looks dirty.
2. Turn the stove on.
3. Go make coffee, watch some tv or play some games for about an hour.
4. Go see if sauna has heated up to about 80c
5. If not, repeat 3 and 4.
6. When sauna is about 80c, take off your clothes and go sit on the top bench. Use laddle to throw some some water on the rocks, about 1dl at the time. Repeat this how often you want to get löyly.
7. When it starts to feel like it’s right time, go outside and roll in snow.
8. Repeat part 6 and 7 as many times you want.
9. Towards the end, wash yourself , wrap a towel around your naked body and go outside to look at the stars with beer bottle on your hand. Omenalimonadi soda is also good choise.
10. When leaving sauna rinse the benches and close the door so heat doesn’t escape, this is dry the sauna so it is clean for the next time.
11. Turn off the stove.
12. Put some sausages in the oven for the evenings after sauna snack.
Ok here is how it works:
1. Push the I/O button.
2. Push arrow (SET) button as long as green (Päälläoloaika) light is blinking and set time to 2 hours
with +/- buttons.
3. Push arrow (SET) button again as long as red (Lämpötila) light is blinking and set the temperature to
70 degrees with +/- buttons.
4. Push arrow (SET) once more and sauna is ready after 30 minutes.
I wonder if you have somehow managed to set it on a timer where it will start heating after that time has elapsed. The 3:47 could meant be that it will turn on after 3h and 47 minutes.
Check out the chapter 4 starting on page 20 (English version).
You can set the temperature there, so it will heat up for that temperature. So set it eg for 89 degrees. When it is on, the unit will display the current temperature. It should reach the set value in 30-60 minutes.
It also has two timers. Preset timer waits set time until the heating starts. Power-on time is the time it is on. It will automatically switch off after time has elapsed, unless turned off manually.
You wait for the stones to heat up, don’t throw any water yet. When the stones are warm, the sauna is ready, the water is thrown when you want to increase the heat; when the water suddendly gets hot from the stones it becomes steam, the steam majes sauna warm
I think the image of 104 is the temperature. Push the button right to it, and try sauna half hour later what happens
