FAQs
Is a heater included with the E8G?
The E8G is heater-ready. Choose a compatible electric sauna heater (commonly 6–8 kW) and follow the heater’s electrical specifications. We’re happy to help you select the right model.
What electrical is required?
Electrical requirements depend on the heater you select. Most 6–8 kW heaters require a dedicated 240 V circuit installed by a licensed electrician, per local code and the heater manual.
How long does assembly take?
With two people and common tools, most customers complete assembly in about a day. Pre-cut staves, cradles, roof kit, and clear instructions simplify the process.
How do I maintain the wood?
Apply the included paraffin oil to benches and backrests before first use and re-oil as needed. Exterior wood can be left to patina naturally or treated periodically with an appropriate outdoor oil/finish.
Pro Tip: Treat benches and backrests with the included paraffin oil before first use. It enhances the wood tone, makes cleaning easier, and helps extend the life of your seating surfaces.
