Setup u Installazzjoni

Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician and in compliance with all applicable local and national building and electrical codes.

1. Choosing the Installation Location:

The heater is designed for wall-mounting. Select a sturdy wall capable of supporting the heater's weight.
Observe minimum safety distances to walls, ceiling, and benches as specified in the installation diagram (refer to separate installation guide for detailed diagrams).
Ensure the location allows for proper air circulation around the heater.

2. Mounting the Heater:

Secure the mounting bracket to the wall at the recommended height using appropriate fasteners.
Carefully lift the heater and hang it onto the mounting bracket. Ensure it is securely seated.

3. Konnessjoni Elettrika:

TWISSIJA: Disconnect power at the main circuit breaker before making any electrical connections.
Connect the heater to a dedicated circuit with appropriate voltage u amperage as specified in the technical data section.
Żgura ertjar xieraq.
All wiring must be heat-resistant and suitable for sauna conditions.

4. Stone Placement:

Proper stone placement is critical for safe and efficient operation. Use only genuine Harvia sauna stones.

Wash the sauna stones thoroughly to remove any dust or debris before placing them.
Arrange the stones loosely in the stone compartment, allowing air to circulate between them. Do not pack them too tightly.
Place smaller stones at the bottom and larger stones on top.
Ensure that the heating elements are completely covered by stones but not obstructed.
Do not use ceramic stones or other artificial stones, as they may damage the heater.

Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

The Harvia KIP80B features a built-in control panel for easy operation.

1. L-Ewwel Bidu:

After installation and stone placement, turn on the power at the main circuit breaker.
The first heating cycle may produce a slight odor from the protective coating on the heating elements. Ensure good ventilation during this period.

2. Using the Built-in Controls:

The control panel typically includes a thermostat dial and a timer dial.

Dial tat-termostat: Rotate to set the desired sauna temperature. Start with a moderate setting and adjust as preferred.
Dial tat-Tajmer:
- Set the desired operating time (e.g., 1-4 hours). The heater will turn off automatically after the set time.
- Some models may include a pre-set function, allowing you to set a delay for the heater to turn on. Consult the specific control panel markings for details.

3. Adding Water to Stones:

Once the stones are hot, you may gently ladle small amounts of clean tap water onto them to create steam (löyly).
Do not pour large quantities of water at once, as this can cool the stones too quickly and potentially damage the heater.
Never use chlorinated pool water or water containing fragrances or chemicals, as these can damage the heater and release harmful fumes.

Manutenzjoni

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your Harvia sauna heater.

1. Tindif:

Ensure the heater is completely cool and disconnected from power before cleaning.

2. Sauna Stone Maintenance:

Inspect the sauna stones at least once a year, or more frequently with heavy use.
Remove all stones and discard any that are crumbling, cracked, or significantly smaller due to thermal stress.
Rearrange the remaining good stones, placing smaller ones at the bottom and larger ones on top, ensuring good air circulation. Replace with new Harvia sauna stones as needed.
Replacing stones regularly helps maintain heating efficiency and prevents damage to the heating elements.
