Features Authentic Traditional Sauna Experience Designed for high-temperature traditional sauna use with sauna stones that retain and gradually release heat throughout the cabin. Large Stone Capacity The KIP's generous stone compartment helps create softer, more consistent heat and allows small amounts of water to be poured over the stones for bursts of steam and humidity. Premium Harvia Construction Durable steel construction and a protective stone guard are designed for long-term sauna use. Harvia uses a dual-wall construction that helps reduce the exterior surface temperature of the heater. Space-Saving Wall-Mounted Design The compact KIP mounts directly to the sauna wall, keeping the floor clear and maximizing usable interior space. Simple Sauna Operation KIP configurations are available with integrated temperature and timer controls, providing straightforward operation without an elaborate control system. UL Listed The U.S. KIP models offered are available with UL certification, making them a strong option for customers who prefer recognized third-party safety certification. Dimensions Approximately: 23.6"H × 16.1"W × 11"D The compact footprint remains essentially consistent across the KIP range. Choosing the Correct Heater Size The correct heater should be selected based on the interior cubic footage of the sauna, insulation, glass area, ceiling height, and overall construction. A larger heater is not automatically better. Proper sizing helps the sauna reach temperature efficiently while maintaining the intended heating characteristics. For GeyserSteam sauna packages, we can recommend the appropriate 4.5 kW, 6 kW, or 8 kW KIP heater based on your sauna configuration. Electrical Installation The Harvia KIP requires a dedicated 240V electrical circuit and hardwired installation. It is not intended to plug into a standard household outlet. Electrical installation must be performed by a certified or licensed electrician. The installing electrician must confirm the appropriate breaker size, conductor size, grounding, disconnect requirements, and all other electrical requirements according to the specific heater model, Harvia installation instructions, and applicable electrical codes. Final electrical requirements should always be verified before installation.
