Before Assembling Your Sauna

⚠️ Important: Ensure the Surface is Completely Level

Before starting assembly, it is critical to place your sauna on a flat, stable, and completely level surface (4'4" x 4'9").

Why This Matters:

  • An unlevel sauna may cause misalignment issues, affecting door closure, panel fitment, stability, and decreased functionality.
  • If any issues arise due to an unlevel surface, your warranty will be void.

⚠️ The sauna floor must be level both side-to-side and front-to-back.

  • Use a level to confirm the surface is even before proceeding.
  • Do not proceed with assembly until you confirm the sauna floor is completely level.

Important Notes:

⚠️ Confirm your assembly area is flat, level, and stable before starting.
⚠️ Do not open the door until the sauna is fully assembled to prevent tipping.
⚠️ Be cautious when handling glass and heavy components to prevent damage or injury.

 

Assembly Instructions 

Step 1 - Position the Sauna Floor

  • Prepare a flat, level, and stable (4’4” x 4’9”) surface to set up your sauna. 
  • Position the sauna floor (A) so that the “heater side” is on your right when you are facing the intended location.
  • Use a level to check that the sauna floor is completely level side-to-side and front-to-back.
