Harvia KIP Electric Sauna Heater | Dundalk Leisurecraft Wall Heater

The Harvia KIP Electric Sauna Heater is a traditional Finnish wall-mounted sauna heater designed with an integrated control panel built directly into its base. Engineered and manufactured in the heart of Finnish sauna culture, the KIP delivers rapid thermal warm-up times and classic löyly steam in a clean, space-efficient form factor. Its compact wall-hung design preserves floor space and bench legroom inside barrel saunas and modular cabin layouts without sacrificing heating power or stone volume.

Constructed with an attractive, corrosion-resistant stainless steel exterior casing and durable interior components, the Harvia KIP features a deep rock compartment that holds up to 44 lbs (20 kg) of natural sauna stones. This stone capacity ensures optimal convective heat transfer, allowing you to pour water directly over the rocks to generate traditional Finnish steam humidity while keeping the heater's outer body comparatively cool. With an integrated 1-hour operating timer, an 8-hour preset delay timer, and an adjustable base thermostat dial, the Harvia KIP provides dependable, hassle-free operation without requiring external digital wall pads or complex Wi-Fi setups.

Important Shipping Notice: When purchased together with any Dundalk Leisurecraft sauna cabin or barrel, this heater ships free inside the sauna's freight crate. If this heater is purchased singularly as an individual unit without a sauna, a flat $350 freight shipping fee will be applied at checkout to cover dedicated carrier handling and cross-border transport.

Troubleshooting & User Manual

Installation Instructions

• Sauna Stone Placement: Wash sauna stones thoroughly with clean water before loading to remove surface dust. Place larger stones loosely at the bottom and between heating elements, layering smaller stones at the top. Never wedge stones tightly between elements, as restricted airflow causes element overheating and premature failure.

• Annual Stone Inspection: Remove all stones once per year (or every 100 hours of heavy use). Discard brittle, crumbling, or cracked stones, vacuum accumulated mineral sediment from the stone tray, and replace stones to maintain unobstructed airflow.

• Water Ladling Guidelines: Pour clean, fresh tap water or sauna aromatics over the hot stones using a wooden ladle. Do not use chlorinated pool water, salt water, or sulfurous water, as harsh chemicals corrode heating elements and void warranty protection. Never throw an entire bucket of water over the stones at once.

• Exterior Casing Wipe-Down: Allow the heater to cool completely before cleaning. Wipe exterior stainless steel panels with a soft, damp cloth and mild dish soap to remove water droplet marks. Do not use abrasive scouring pads, steel wool, or bleach.

• Pre-Session Safety Check: Before turning on the timer dial, verify that no towels, clothes, buckets, or combustible objects have been left on or near the heater guard.

• Warranty Coverage: The Harvia KIP Electric Sauna Heater carries a 3-year limited residential warranty matching Leisurecraft supplier terms (covering factory structural and manufacturing defects).

• Warranty Exclusions: Heating elements, internal electrical wear items, and sauna stones are considered consumable items and are excluded from standard warranty coverage. Cosmetic discoloration resulting from mineral deposits or excessive water pouring is not covered.

• Licensed Electrician Requirement: All 240V hardwired electrical connections must be installed by a certified, licensed electrical contractor. Proof of licensed professional installation is strictly required to submit any warranty claim on electrical components.

• Order Modifications & Cancellations: Orders canceled within 14 days of placement are processed free of charge. Cancellations requested after 14 days or once the unit enters packaging and dispatch are subject to a $350 administrative/order adjustment fee.

• Return Policy: Due to specialized carrier handling, freight units are generally non-returnable. In the event an authorized factory return is approved, the customer is responsible for 100% of return freight shipping costs back to the facility plus a 20% restocking fee. Units must be returned completely uninstalled, unused, and in their original packaging.

• Transit Damage & Missing Items: Inspect the package upon arrival. Note any visible box scuffs, dents, or tears on the delivery receipt and report damaged or missing parts within 30 days of delivery for complimentary replacement parts.

• Sauna Bundle vs. Standalone Shipping:

  • Free Shipping with Sauna Purchase: When ordered alongside any Dundalk Leisurecraft sauna cabin or barrel kit, this heater is bundled directly into the main sauna crate and ships with 100% free freight.

  • Standalone Purchase ($350 Flat Freight): If purchased individually without a sauna structure, a mandatory flat $350 freight shipping fee is applied at checkout to cover dealer packaging, cross-border freight transit, and carrier surcharges.

• Service Area: Standard shipping applies across the Contiguous United States. Deliveries to Alaska, Hawaii, islands, and remote/limited-access areas require a custom freight quote prior to dispatch.

• Delivery Method: Small freight deliveries are made directly to the curbside or exterior threshold of your property via commercial ground/freight carrier.

• Address Modifications: Address adjustments requested after the product has shipped incur a $350 carrier reconsignment fee.

• Delivery Refusal: Any unapproved shipment refusal at delivery is subject to a 15% restocking fee plus round-trip transit charges.
