Guidelines - Sonnenkönig FASSSAUNA Bedienungsanleitung

02 - GUIDELINES

Please read and fully understand this manual
before attempting to assemble, operate, or ins-
tall the product.
A sauna barrel is an outdoor barrel-shaped sau-
na and offers one of the best sauna forms. The
barrel shape allows for quick heating as the air
circulates better in the round interior. The design
and rustic curves of a Sonnenkönig Outdoor Sau-
na are an attractive focal point wherever you
place it.
The assembly of a barrel sauna requires careful
preparation. For example, it is advisable to think
about the location and the accompanying foun-
dation before starting the sauna assembly. Ensu-
• Do not enter the sauna on an empty stomach or immediately after eating.
• Enter the sauna unclothed.
• Always take a shower before entering the sauna, not only for hygiene but also to remove the oily film
from your skin.
• Dry off thoroughly before entering the sauna (dry skin sweats better).
• A warm foot bath beforehand acclimates your body and prepares you for the heat.
• The sauna is for relaxation, so keep calm and quiet.
• Place a large bath towel on the seating bench. Remember that warm air rises, so it's hotter on the
upper benches. For sauna beginners, it's advisable to prefer the lower or middle benches.
• To avoid dizziness or fainting, stand up during the last 2 minutes of your session and sit upright. Move
your legs to prevent blood from pooling in your lower body.
• Prioritize your health! Exit the sauna early if you don't feel well.
• A sauna session typically lasts between 8 and 12 minutes but should not exceed 15 minutes.
• In some saunas, it's customary to perform a steam infusion. After a pre-sweating phase (5-10 minu-
tes), the infusion takes place as the „highlight" (6-8 minutes), followed by a possible post-sweating
phase of 1-2 minutes.
• Do not enter or exit the sauna during the infusion.
• It's customary to spend about 2 minutes in the fresh air to cool your respiratory system and replenish
oxygen.
• Always take a shower after leaving the sauna, as well as before using the plunge pool.
• You can only achieve health benefits if the cooling with cold water and fresh air is strong enough.
• A warm foot bath is also recommended after cooling down.
• This helps dissipate any remaining body heat and cools the body. It's also a good preventive measure
against colds. Additionally, the warm foot bath prevents further sweating.
re that the sauna is not placed directly on the
regular ground, as the „wooden legs" of the sau-
na would not withstand it for long. A strip foun-
dation is certainly the most suitable foundation
for the sauna. You can easily pour it yourself with
some DIY knowledge.
Before establishing your sauna oasis, you should
inquire about building permits. In different can-
tons, a building permit may be required. Regula-
tions vary by region, but your local building de-
partment can provide you with the relevant
information. Please also consult your chimney
sweep. All the wood stoves and electric heaters
we offer have the CE certificate and are approved
for use in Europe.
