Sauna

Alta Vista has a dry sauna, which is accessible from the garage. The circuit breaker to the sauna is clearly marked. Set the temperature dial to no more than 95% to prevent overheating. If overheating did occur, find the re-set button at the bottom of the heater unit in the sauna. There is a small fan which helps prevent overheating.* Make sure to turn it off after use.
Set the time to about 45 min -- it takes about 30 min to heat up the sauna.
DO NOT ENTER WITH SHOES.
DO NOT (TRY TO) USE/GENERATE STEAM. This is a dry sauna.
Please use common-sense cleanliness measures customarily adhered to in saunas.
__________________
* If the sauna does not heat, there may be two causes:
-- check if the circuit breaker is on (by the entry door from the garage to the house)
-- It may have been over-heated during the last use.  This may happen when the temperature setting for prolonged use is 95 degrees or higher.  Find and push a re-set button inside the sauna at the bottom (center) of the heater.
