Your PrivateSAUNA.

Everything you need to fire up, enjoy, and safely use your barrel sauna. Read through before your first session — it's quick and easy.

🔥

Before you begin: Never leave the sauna heater unattended. Keep children supervised at all times. Stay hydrated — bring water in with you. If you feel dizzy or unwell, exit immediately. The heater automatically shuts off after 1 hour.

Step by Step

How to Start the Heater

1

Locate the Timer Knob

Find the Timer Knob — it's the dial on the bottom right of the heater control panel. This is the knob that powers the unit on and controls how long it runs.

2

Turn to the "1" Position

Turn the Timer Knob to the first notch — the large "1". This starts the heater immediately for a full 1-hour session.

⚠️ ImportantIf you turn past the "1", the sauna is set to a delayed start by hours — it won't immediately heat up. Turn it back to the "1" for an instant start.
3

Listen for the Click

You will hear a loud "CLUMP" or click sound when the dial reaches the on position. This is completely normal — it means the heater is now on and beginning to heat up.

4

Wait to Heat Up

Allow the sauna 20–30 minutes to reach a comfortable temperature before entering. Use this time to grab water, towels, and get ready to relax.

💡 Pro TipSet the left-side Heat Control knob between the midpoint and max for optimal temperature. Adjust to your comfort.

Troubleshooting

🔧

Heater Won't Turn On?

If the sauna heater does not start after following the steps above, it may have tripped its internal safety reset. Here's what to do:

  • Make sure the Timer Knob is set exactly to the large "1" notch — not past it.
  • Locate the Reset Button (Overheat Protector) on the bottom of the heater unit.
  • Press the reset button firmly. You may feel a small click.
  • Return to the top of these instructions and try starting the heater again.
  • If the issue persists, please contact us immediately — don't attempt to open or repair the unit.
