Safety tips

---

• Proper Ventilation: Ensure the sauna is well-ventilated before lighting the stove.
• Use Dry Wood: For the best results, always use dry, seasoned wood to fuel the fire.
• Safety Around the Stove: The sides of the stove can become extremely hot and may cause burns. Always keep a safe distance, especially with children nearby. Never touch the stove while it's in use.
• Never Leave Unattended: Never leave the stove burning unattended. Always monitor the fire until it has fully burned down.

 In the unlikely event of a fire in the barrel sauna, it’s important to act quickly and safely. Please follow these steps:

• Stay Calm: Keep calm and assess the situation.
• Alert Others: Immediately notify everyone in the sauna and any nearby guests to evacuate the area.
• Evacuate the Sauna: Leave the sauna promptly, making sure everyone is safe.
• Close the Sauna Door: If it’s safe to do so, close the sauna door behind you to help contain the fire. Do not open the door unless necessary.

If the fire is small and manageable, and you feel confident to tackle it, follow the steps below to safely use a fire extinguisher:

• P.A.S.S. Method: Remember the acronym P.A.S.S. to properly operate the fire extinguisher:
   
  • Pull the pin: Pull the safety pin from the handle to unlock the extinguisher.
  • Aim the nozzle: Aim the nozzle or hose at the base of the fire.
  • Squeeze the handle: Squeeze the handle of the extinguisher to release the contents.
  • Sweep from side to side: Sweep the nozzle from side to side, covering the entire base of the fire.
• Do Not Get Too Close: Stand at a safe distance (around 6-8 feet) and aim at the base of the flames. If the fire does not start to subside, retreat to a safe location and call emergency services.
   

• If the Fire Grows Out of Control: If the fire cannot be controlled or extinguished quickly, evacuate the area and immediately call emergency services (911 or your local fire department). Provide them with your location and a description of the situation.

• Do Not Re-enter Immediately: Wait for confirmation from the fire department or authorities before re-entering the sauna. The structure and heating elements may still be unsafe.
• Inspect the Area: Ensure the sauna is completely safe and the fire is fully out before considering repairs or any further use.

The Sauna is equipped with a carbon monoxide (CO) detector to ensure a safe and comfortable experience. If the CO detector goes off, please follow these steps immediately:

• Leave the sauna right away. Do not ignore the alarm or try to determine the cause while inside. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can be harmful if inhaled.

• If you're with others, ensure that everyone leaves the sauna immediately. Do not return to the sauna until it has been confirmed safe.

• If it’s safe to do so, open the sauna door to allow fresh air to flow in and help clear the area of any carbon monoxide.

• Contact Ukee Sauna Rentals staff right away to report the alarm. We will guide you through the next steps and address the issue.

• Do not re-enter the sauna until instructed by Ukee Sauna Rentals staff or emergency personnel. The sauna will need to be properly inspected and ventilated before use.

• After evacuating the sauna, make sure to get to a well-ventilated area and breathe fresh air. If anyone feels unwell or experiences symptoms like dizziness, nausea, or headache, seek medical attention immediately.

• If necessary, or if you feel the situation is unsafe, call emergency services (911 or your local emergency number) for assistance.
