What do I do if my outlet isn’t grounded?Updated a month ago
The shielding that is built into your Hearth® Infrared Sauna Panel, the Bamboo Grounding Mat and optional the SilverLining™ layer of our FireLight® Sauna need to be grounded. This effectively carries the voltage away.
Most modern three-prong outlets are grounded, but if yours is not, contact an electrician. If professional assistance is unavailable, the grounding mat, Glow®, and Hearth® have accessory ground jacks that allow you to run a grounding cable to a grounding fixture.
Our system is made to be easy to use; simply plug the power cord from the panel itself into a properly grounded outlet, and you are set. The grounding cable that came with your sauna plugs into your Hearth® Infrared Sauna Panel as outlined in the owner's manual.
Use your panel with an extension cord! If you have a grounded outlet close enough, a properly rated extension cord, 10amp or better, will work great!
HOW TO GROUND YOUR OUTLET
- ASSESS WITH YOUR ELECTRICIAN: Contact your trusted electrician to come out and look at the socket. There may be a ground run that is not connected, etc.
- RUN A GROUND FROM YOUR BOX: Your electrician can run the proper wiring from your breaker box to your outlet.
- RUN A NEW GROUND: Use a similar to this one and work with a professional to place it. SaunaSpace® does not have a suggestion about the kit to use.
