Installation Requirements

"Instructions are usually for other people. This time, make an exception."

Safety is not separate from the sauna experience — it is where it begins.

Different heaters have different requirements, but none of them are designed to be installed using guesswork, wishful thinking and a strong belief that everything will somehow work out.

and Safety Guide
Who Is FinSteam For? To put it in the most clichéd way – everyone.

But especially for those who have been told that an electric or wood-burning sauna heater simply is not an option. And for those who believe a great sauna should not be tied to a power supply, a chimney – or even one permanent location.

FinSteam gives you the freedom to rethink where a sauna belongs. In your backyard, by the beach, at the edge of a forest, on a mountainside, on a rooftop terrace or travelling with you in a caravan or mobile sauna.
Sometimes the perfect place for a sauna is simply wherever you want it to be.

and Safety Guide

Follow All Installation and Safety Instructions Safety is not part of the sauna experience. It is what makes the experience possible. For safe and proper operation, the FinSteam gas sauna heater must always be installed and used strictly in accordance with the official installation, operating and safety instructions provided by FinSteam.

All specified requirements concerning ventilation, safety distances, gas connections, installation location and use must be followed. Never modify the heater or deviate from the approved installation method.
If any part of the installation or safety requirements is unclear, contact FinSteam Technical Support or your Authorized Distributor before installing or using the heater.

FINSTEAM - SAFETY FIRST Installation Surface and Safety Distances Safety 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.
