"Instructions are usually for other people. This time, make an exception."
Safety is not separate from the sauna experience — it is where it begins.

FINSTEAM - SAFETY FIRSTInstallation Surface and Safety DistancesSafety first should be the starting point of every sauna, whether it is heated by electricity, wood or gas.Correct placement and adequate safety clearances are essential for the safe installation of a FinSteam heater.
Place the heater on a level, stable and load-bearing surface. When installing the heater on a wooden floor or another combustible surface, use a suitable non-combustible protective base. Maintain a minimum clearance of 200 mm between the heater and combustible materials on all sides. This clearance may be reduced to 50 mm by using a suitable fire-protection board or a correctly installed FinSteam NJORD Heat Shield, in accordance with the FinSteam Installation and Safety Guide. Maintain at least 1000 mm of unobstructed clearance above the heater.
Always maintain these minimum clearances and follow the current FinSteam Installation and Safety Guide and applicable local requirements.FinSteam Ventilation BasicsAll installation, safety, and operating instructions can be found in the downloadable guide below.DownloadProvide an adjustable fresh-air inlet with at least 350 cm² of unobstructed free opening area.
