Maintenance <br /> R.r:cfIv.aon <br /> nll'fUOpRS. <br /> Maintaining Your Sauna After Installation <br /> Exterior Wood Treatment <br /> Your sauna is designed for outdoor use and the wood (cedar and thermowood) we use is naturally <br /> resistant to the elements. Nonetheless, over time your sauna will naturally weather and the color and <br /> appearance of the wood will change. To help preserve the lifespan of your sauna, it is optional to treat <br /> the exterior (only) with a stain and seal product. There are many products on the market, so we don't <br /> recommend a specific, but Behr is a reputable brand and makes good products. Look for a product that <br /> offers UV protection and mildew resistance. Stain-and-seal products usually last about 5-7 years after <br /> which time you would have to reapply a new coat. <br /> Roofing and Waterproofing <br /> Without a roof installed, it is normal to experience water leaking through the roof boards. The <br /> interlocking staves do not form a watertight seal. We recommend installing our asphalt roof shingles if <br /> you purchased them, or sourcing your own roofing materials locally. Some customers have installed <br /> metal roofs or cedar shingles which work. For additional protection, install a roofing underlay beneath <br /> your shingles. <br /> It's normal for some water to seep into your sauna, especially on windy days if rain is blowing onto the <br /> side walls of your sauna. This will not harm your sauna or diminish its lifespan. After a heavy rainfall, <br /> we recommend you run the heater for a 1-hour cycle to dry out the room. Running the heater a few <br /> times a week during the wetter months will help prevent mold or mildew from developing. <br /> Interior Maintenance and Cleaning <br /> Treating your benches with paraffin oil reduces the amount of sweat and dirt absorbed into the <br /> benches, which will increase their life span. We recommend treating new benches before using them <br /> and repeating the treatment once or twice a year when cleaning the sauna. Paraffin oil is colorless and <br /> odorless, but will give the wood a slightly darker 'wet' look after its applied. Wood surfaces must be <br /> completely dry before you apply an oil treatment. <br /> Under normal conditions, washing the interior of the sauna every 3 to 4 months will maintain <br /> cleanliness. We recommend using the Harvla Sauna Cleanser or another suitable cleaning solution for <br /> wood. Behr also makes a wood cleaning product. Refrain from using ammonia or harsh chemicals. <br /> Clean the wood with a sponge or soft bristle brush and your cleaning solution. Always brush with the <br /> grain of the wood. If dirt is embedded in the benches, you can sand thews down lightly. Rinse the sauna <br /> thoroughly with water with a hose to remove all the cleaning product. Run the heater for 1 to 2 hours to <br /> dry out the room and then leave the door open to air out the sauna. <br /> For stainless steel surfaces on your heater, we recommend Harvia's sauna heater cleanser, which <br /> removes limescale stains. <br /> Re-stack your sauna rocks every 6 months as the rocks will break down over time in high heat. Ensure <br /> that the rocks do not shift and cause cause the heater coils to bend into one another. We recommend <br /> replacing your sauna rocks every 12-1 S months. <br /> Redwood C) idoors - <br /> i/ <br /> Gp EManel Sauna Assembly&.Owner's Manual <br />
