Installation Information
The Golden Designs Kaarina must be installed on a level, solid surface such as a concrete pad or a reinforced deck capable of supporting 1,500+ lbs. This unit requires dual electrical service: a 240V/40A dedicated circuit for the heater and a separate 120V/15A circuit for the control panel, lighting, and audio system. For safety and to maintain the manufacturer's warranty, all electrical installation must be performed by a certified electrician. The unit ships in 10 boxes on a pallet; assembly typically requires three adults and basic tools.
Suggested Usage
Preheat the sauna for 30–45 minutes to reach your preferred temperature. Use the included wooden bucket and scoop to pour water over the hot volcanic stones, creating traditional Finnish-style steam to increase humidity and intensify the sauna experience. The two-tier bench system allows users to find their preferred temperature zone—sit on the top bench for stronger heat or the lower bench for a milder experience.
