For safety reasons, the Hot Tub temperature cannot exceed 104F or 40C. 2. Please open the cover and remove it safely. 3. Press the “1” and “2” buttons to turn on the jets. 3. The jets will turn off automatically after about a 20 min cycle. You can turn them back on if you wish. 4. Please put the cover back on once you are done using any of the 2 tubs. Sauna and Indoor Fireplace Instructions: * both are wood burning; we provide some logs, fire-starters and a lighter. 1. Start by clearing the firebox if there is any ash, then load it with firewood (about 3-5 logs) placing smaller kindling on the bottom and larger logs on top. Leave the firebox in the sauna slightly open to allow airflow. 2. Light the fire using paper or fire starters, and leave the wood burning stove door open a few inches initially to allow fire to establish and air to circulate. 3. Once fire has established, close the wood burning stove door. 4. Maintain desired temperature by adding more logs, as needed. 5. Safe sauna temperature should be between 70-90C, which normally takes about an hour. 6. Use the provided seat towels for hygienic reasons and to prevent potential sap damage to your clothing. 7. For a wet sauna, add some water or snow on top of the rocks. 8. Once done, let the logs burn out on their own, making sure that the stove door is closed. Do not pour water inside the stove.
