How is the HUUM CLIFF Mini installed?
The CLIFF Mini stands on adjustable legs and is fixed to the wall with HUUM's special bracket, with its back against the wall. HUUM strongly recommends a safety rail around the heater, which a sauna builder can make to suit the room.
HUUM's CLIFF manual says the electrical connection must be made by a licensed electrician, with a circuit breaker that disconnects all poles fitted before the sauna control, a heat-resistant power cable (no PVC insulation) and a waterproof junction box no higher than 20" (50 cm) above the floor; the cable enters through the heater's bottom cover. Your electrician sizes the breaker and wire from the manual that ships with the heater and your local code.
HUUM CLIFF Mini safety distances
Keep at least these distances from the HUUM CLIFF Mini to walls, benches and anything that can burn. HUUM measures A from each side of the heater and B across it from wall to wall.
HUUM CLIFF Mini 4 minimum safety distances (CLIFF manual v9, Table 3)
| A |
2.36" (60 mm) |
| B |
15.35" (390 mm) |
-
A: minimum distance from each side of the heater to the wall or anything that can burn; the back of the CLIFF Mini goes against the wall, where HUUM's bracket fixes it
-
B: minimum width between the walls on either side of the heater
- At least 47.3" (1,200 mm) from the top of the heater to the ceiling
HUUM's CLIFF manual gives a minimum sauna room height of 86.6" (2,200 mm), with a regular ceiling height of 86.6–91", allows only one heater per room, and calls for a sauna door that opens outward.
Stacking and caring for the stones
Wash the stones, then stack them loosely between the heating elements of the CLIFF Mini and close together on the outside so no element shows. Packed too tightly, the elements overheat, wear out sooner and heat the room more slowly; a sparsely filled heater is a fire hazard. Take care not to bend the elements. Every rib lifts off with the two prop blocks supplied, which makes stacking easier. HUUM recommends having a specialist lay the stones. Stones crumble with use, so HUUM suggests ceramic tile with dark grout under and around the heater.
