Carefully remove the heater from its packaging. Inspect for any damage that may have occurred during transit. Retain packaging materials for potential future transport or warranty claims.

4.2 Plasing

Position the heater in the sauna room according to the manufacturer's recommended clearances from walls, benches, and other combustible materials. Ensure the floor beneath the heater is level and capable of supporting its weight. The height-adjustable feet allow for minor leveling adjustments.

4.3 Elektriese aansluiting

Refer to the wiring diagram provided with the heater and ensure all connections comply with local electrical codes and the heater's power requirements.

4.4 Sauna Stone Placement

Place the sauna stones (optionally included) into the stone compartment of the heater. Arrange the stones loosely to allow for good air circulation, which is crucial for efficient heating and element longevity. Do not pack stones too tightly. Ensure heating elements are fully covered but not excessively burdened.

5. Bedryfsinstruksies

5.1 Control Unit (Optional)

The Sentiotec Qube heater requires an external control unit for operation (Sentiotec sauna controls are optionally available). Refer to the instruction manual of your specific control unit for detailed operating procedures. Typically, the control unit allows you to set the desired temperature and operating time.

5.2 Heating the Sauna

1. Ensure the sauna room is empty and the door is closed.
2. Turn on the heater via the control unit and set the desired temperature.
3. Allow 30-60 minutes for the sauna to reach the set temperature, depending on room size and insulation.

5.3 Adding Water (Löyly)

Once the stones are hot, you may gently pour small amounts of water onto them to create steam (löyly). Use a sauna ladle and only clean tap water. Do not pour large quantities of water at once, as this can cool the elements too rapidly or cause water to splash out.

5.4 Na gebruik

Turn off the heater using the control unit. Allow the heater and sauna room to cool down completely before cleaning or covering.

6. Onderhoud

6.1 Cleaning the Heater

Ensure the heater is completely cool and disconnected from power before cleaning. Wipe the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. The removable connection box facilitates access for internal cleaning if necessary, but this should only be done by qualified personnel.

6.2 Inspecting Heating Elements

Periodically inspect the heating elements for signs of damage or excessive mineral buildup. Damaged elements should be replaced by a qualified technician. Ensure stones are always properly placed to protect the elements.

6.3 Replacing Sauna Stones

Sauna stones should be replaced every 1-2 years, or more frequently with heavy use. Over time, stones can crumble or lose their heat retention properties. Remove old stones, clean the stone compartment, and replace with new, suitable sauna stones, arranging them loosely.
