Damage to health Spending time in a sauna cabin can lead to serious health risks or
even death for persons with health impairments.
Excessive time spent in a heated sauna cabin can lead to overheat-
ing of the body (hyperthermia), which may cause serious health
problems or even death. Hyperthermia occurs when the core tem-
perature of the body exceeds the norm by a few degrees. Symp-
toms of hyperthermia include fever, dizziness, lethargy,
sleepiness, and fainting. Side effects of hyperthermia include per-
ception disorders, inability to recognize the need to leave the
room, inability to identify imminent danger, harm to the foetus in
the case of pregnant women, inability to physically leave the room
and unconsciousness.
Alcohol, drugs, and medications increase the risk of hyperthermia.
Persons with health impairments who spend time in a sauna
must consult a doctor before entering a sauna cabin.
Warn sauna users by affixing a warning plate. Read the chapter
entitled 4.10 Warning plate, EN-39.
Health risks Floor heating in the sauna cabin results in additional warming of
the legs and can lead to health risks.
Adding essences or other additives for humidification could result
in a health hazard.
Observe the following when using the sauna:
Do not exceed the maximum recommended time in the sauna.
Leave the sauna cabin if your body responds abnormally to the
heat or if you do not feel well.
Avoid alcohol, drugs, and medications when you are using the
sauna.
Operating the unit The sauna heater must not be operated by people who have not
received proper training. There is a high risk of injury if the device
for rotating the rock stores is operated by people who have not re-
ceived proper training.
Children must not play with the unit. Cleaning and maintenance
must not be performed by children.
The crank handle must be kept out of the reach of sauna users
and only brought to the device by trained personnel when the
rock stores are to be rotated.
The rock stores must be immersed to the lowest position on the
device to prevent them from rotating.
Children must be supervised to ensure they do not play with
the unit.
