Electric heater fire safety
The heater is made of metal, and is therefore non-combustible. When installed in accordance with the instructions, the heater will not cause a fire hazard in the sauna. However, objects that fall or are left on the heater may catch fire.
Objects that fall or are left on the heater may catch fire.
Prevention
- Never dry your laundry in the sauna.
- Remember to always check the sauna before turning the heater on.
- Make sure that your smoke detectors are always in a working condition.
If an accident occurs and you detect it immediately
- Extinguish the fire with a dry powder extinguisher suitable for electrical fires.
- If a suitable extinguisher is not available, first disconnect power from the heater using the electrical panel of the house or apartment, then put out the fire with water. Please note that there are one to three fuses/breakers on the electrical panel, depending on the heater model and electricity system.
- A fire blanket rarely helps, as the fire receives air from under the heater.
- In any case, do not put yourself in danger.
If an accident occurs and the fire cannot be controlled
- Call the emergency number 112.
- Exit the building and help others exit as well.
- Close all doors and windows as you exit.
