Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the device.
This device complies with the requirements of:
Mondex pursues an active policy of product development and improvement. For this reason, Mondex
reserves the right to make changes relating to the design and technical specification of their products
without prior notice.
1. General safety information
Electrical connections can only be done by an electrician authorized to installation according
to the current regulations.
The MONDEX electric heater is suitable for use in a family sauna, one (1) heater/sauna room.
Preserve the installation and operating instructions for future reference.
Always check the adequacy of fire protection distances!
Failure to observe the wiring instructions may result in a fire risk!
Always remember to check the sauna room before turning the heater on!
Always check whether the controller has switched off the power after the set time period!
Due to the risk of fire do not use the sauna as a drying room for clothes or laundry.
Be careful with the hot heater as the stones and metal parts become very hot and can
cause burns.
Steam from the heater is burning hot and may cause burns.
It is recommended to supervise children, disabled and ill persons that are using the sauna.
Benches and floors may be slippery, therefore move in the sauna with caution.
Do not go to a hot sauna under the influence of narcotic substances (alcohol, drugs,
narcotics, etc.)
The heater’s improperly filled area for stones is a fire hazard.
Covering causes a fire risk.
For safe use of sauna, please read these safety instructions first!

Stacking of the stones
Note! Use regular olivine diabase, peridotite or olivine heater stones of less than 10 cm ø in the PIPE
heater. It is recommended to use protective gloves when stacking the stones. The heater stones should
be stacked so that the resistors are not touching each other. The resistors should never be bended so
that they would touch the metal structures of the stove.
The heater’s area for stones should be entirely filled with stones, including the internal parts of the
resistor column. The stones should be stacked in layers starting from the bottom of the heater.
Continue filling the area step-by-step in this manner until all of the stones have been placed.
When stacking the stones, please do not batter on the heater’s metal surfaces so to avoid damage.
Dents caused by the user are not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty or other product liability.
1) The package includes the heater (E-type also an external control
unit) and its user manual. Heater stones are not included.
2) Inspect the heater visually and if you notice any discrepancies,
please contact the store from where you purchased the heater or
info@mondex.fi
3) The sauna’s floor surface should be properly protected before
starting the installation.
4) The electrician connects the wires before the heater is installed
to its place. During the heater’s installation observe the safety
distances between the heater and combustible material as in
Table 4.4. (see pg 7) as well as the heater’s power rating according
to Table 4.1 (see pg 6).
5) The heater should be installed on the floor and its feet should be
adjusted so that the heater is upright.

5. General instructions for the Pipe-heater users
6. Consider the following when using the heater
First heating
During the first heating resistors can emit fumes, therefore you should see to it that the room’s
ventilation and air conditioning are functional. NOTE! See also the first time use of type E on p. 14!
Sauna room
Always remember to check the sauna room before turning the heater on! Always make sure that the
timer has switched off the power after the set time period!
Temperature control
The desired temperature can be set either by a mechanical thermostat (see page 10 types C) or
through the control panel (see page 14 E types). The actual heating time is affected by the sauna’s
dimensions, structure and thermal insulation. The temperature in the sauna room can be maintained
at the desired level with a thermostat. Should the temperature of the sauna room, for any reason,
become dangerously high, the automatic temperature overheat protector will turn off power from the
heater. Always find out the cause of overheating. Power can be turned on again by pressing the over-
heat protector reset button (see page 10 types C and page 14 types E).
Heating time
Heating the sauna too long consumes energy and does not improve the steam’s properties. The best
steam is achieved by keeping the sauna’s heating time relatively short, namely 30-60 min. according
to the size of the sauna and the heater’s power. Size of the sauna, glass doors, windows, or materials
used may increase the heating time.
Water thrown on heater
We recommend using hand-warm water. The water used for throwing on heater should be household
water. Smoother steam can be achieved by throwing the water to the heater sides / lower stones. If you
want tougher and more aggressive steams pour plenty of hot water all at once on the heater.
Attention!
The electrical connections may only be done by an electrician authorized to installation according to
the current regulations. The Pipe electric heater is suitable for use in a family sauna, one (1) heater
per sauna room. Preserve the installation and operating instructions for future reference.
Installation cable
Use rubber cable H07RN-F as a connecting cable.
Additional connection options
Control of electric heating with the heater: The electric heating control cable is brought directly to
the heater’s junction box and then further to the heater’s terminal block with a rubber cable that is as
strong as the connecting cable.
NOTE! Failure to observe the wiring instructions may result in a fire risk!
NOTE! Remove all plastic foil before starting to use the heater!

Sauna room structure
Sauna and especially its roof should have good thermal insulation, as the steam tends to escape
through the roof. Due to moisture we recommend using aluminium foil. The heater is dimensioned
according to the sauna space.
In addition to the conventional sauna structure (wool insulation, foil, timber), the power consumption
is also affected by the following. If the sauna has walls made of uninsulated stone, tile or concrete
surfaces or timber, the heater power should be slightly increased.
Power consumption increases for every uninsulated square meter the same amount as if increas-
ing space by 1.2 m3 and on timber surfaces by 1.5 m3. Also the glass surfaces (glass walls, doors and
uninsulated stone surfaces) are calculated as 1.2 m3 per square meter. Choose a higher-powered
heater in borderline cases.
The sauna needs efficient ventilation in order to achieve good oxygen levels and fresh air. Air in the
sauna room has to change 6 times/h. We recommend to place the valved fresh air tube above the
heater. The exhaust valve should be installed as far away from the heater as possible and close to
the floor limit. It is also possible to lead the exhaust air to the washroom from under the door. In this
case there must be at least 50 mm of space under the sauna door and the washroom should have an
exhaust valve.
For more information, see the construction guidelines and building regulations.
Installation and Operating Instructions Pipe

The time switch (4+8 h) operates as the heater’s main switch. After the desired time the time switch
automatically turns the power off from the heater. If you wish the heater to warm up after a set time,
you can set the timer to start the warm-up after 1-8 hours. The maximum warm-up time is 4 hours.
For example:
If you want to go to the sauna as soon as possible, set the time switch between 1 - 4. The heater
switches on immediately and begins to warm up. The desired temperature can be set by turning the
thermostat.
For, example, if you want to go to the sauna after three hours, set the timer to 2 on the time switch 1-8.
The timer starts and the power will be turned on and the heater will start to warm up after two hours.
When power has been turned on, the heater will remain on for up to 4 hours. After this power will be
turned off automatically. If desired, power can be switched off earlier by turning the time switch to zero (0).
Always make sure that the time switch has turned power off after the set time period!

Additional connection options
Wiring a signal light outside the sauna room
For example the cable H07RN-F should be used as connection cable and its cross-sectional area
should be the same as the connecting cable’s.
Control of electric heating with the heater
The electric heating control cable should be brought directly to the heater’s junction box and then fur-
ther to the heater’s terminal block with a rubber cable strong as the connecting cable.
