{"product_id":"harvia-forte-af-electric-sauna-heater","title":"Harvia Forte AF Always-Ready Electric Sauna Heater with Digital Control, 4.4 to 9.8kW, Stainless Steel, 240V","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Harvia Forte AF is a heat-storing electric sauna heater built to be ready whenever you are. A large, insulated stone chamber stays hot on standby under a closed lid, so when you lift the cover and switch to full power, Harvia says a well-insulated room reaches bathing temperature in about 5 to 15 minutes. It suits households that use the sauna several times a week at varying times, in rooms of roughly 177 to 530 cubic feet on 240V single-phase power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn standby (LO) the heater keeps the stone chamber warm using standby heat; Harvia puts daily standby energy use at about 4 to 6 kWh. Press the operating button for full power (HI) for one hour at a time while you bathe. The stone temperature can be set between 428 and 500°F at the control panel, and an ECO mode lets you hold a very low temperature without switching the heater off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eControl and safety features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Forte uses a separate, splash-proof digital control panel, which also makes it well suited to being built into a bench. The heater switches off automatically if the cover is left open, and the control panel has a keypad lock. The cover has a silicone gasket and a spring-loaded hinge that holds it open or closed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications (Harvia)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModels:\u003c\/strong\u003e Forte AF45 (HAFU4502401), AF65 (HAFU6502401), AF100 (HAFU100241)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.4kW, 6.5kW or 9.8kW\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoom volume:\u003c\/strong\u003e AF45 177 to 283 cu ft, AF65 247 to 424 cu ft, AF100 353 to 530 cu ft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElectrical:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240V, single-phase, 60 Hz; AF45 18.3A, 12 AWG; AF65 27.0A, 8 AWG; AF100 40.8A, 6 AWG copper supply wire (min. 90°C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControl:\u003c\/strong\u003e separate splash-proof digital control panel with keypad lock, ECO mode and standby mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStone temperature setting:\u003c\/strong\u003e 428 to 500°F (220 to 260°C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 34.65\" H x 19.69\" W x 20.87\" D (880 x 500 x 530 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNet weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 73.9 lb without stones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStone capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e about 220 lb (100 kg) of 4 to 6 in (10 to 15 cm) stones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation:\u003c\/strong\u003e floor-standing on adjustable feet, can be embedded in a bench\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClearances:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 in to non-combustible surfaces at the front, sides and back; minimum room height 6.56 ft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtection class:\u003c\/strong\u003e IPX4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e ETL (per Harvia)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you need to know before buying\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Forte is hardwired at 240V single-phase.
