Post-assembly checks
Six post-assembly checks to confirm everything works before your first session — test fire-up, controller, lighting, vents, door, and document for warranty.
Once your sauna is fully assembled and the electrical work is done:
- First fire-up procedure (Section 8.1). This is a controlled first heating that releases initial smells from the heater elements and stones.
- Test the controller. Set a temperature, set a timer, verify the heater turns on and off as scheduled.
- Test the lighting. Use the wireless remote to turn the LED lights on, off, and adjust brightness.
- Test the airflow vents. Open and close each vent to confirm smooth operation.
- Test the door. Open and close several times. Verify smooth latch and seal.
- Take photos of your installation for your records. Useful if you need to file a warranty claim later.
Once everything checks out, you're ready for your first session. See Section 9.1 for guidance on your first sauna session.
