Suggested Usage
Preheat the sauna for 20–30 minutes to reach your preferred temperature. Use the included wooden bucket and scoop to pour water over the hot volcanic stones to create "Löyly" steam, which increases humidity and creates a classic Finnish-style sauna atmosphere. The 8.0 kW stove helps the cabin maintain consistent heat, including in colder outdoor conditions. Always stay hydrated before and after your session.
