The controls are on the heater, with an illuminated dial for on, off, time, and temperature, plus a preset that starts it up to 8 hours later. Sauna stones are sold separately, so add the 1 box it needs on the page. A bucket and ladle set is optional. Bigger sauna? The Harvia The Wall SWS80 sauna heater covers up to 423 cubic feet.

FAQ
What size sauna is a 6kW wall heater right for?
The SWS60 is rated for rooms from 141 to 282 cubic feet per its specification table, making it the smaller-room option in the series. If your sauna measures larger than 282 cubic feet, look at the 8kW models in The Wall collection instead.
Do I need to buy a separate control?
No – the controls are built into the heater. Illuminated switches provide on/off, time, and temperature adjustment, with a preset function for up to 8 hours. Built-in overheat protection and a built-in stone protector round out the safety features, so nothing extra needs to be wired to run it.
How do the sauna stones work with this heater?
The design puts the rocks in direct contact with the heating elements, and stones are required for operation. Add the stone box shown under Required Stones when you order on this page so it ships with the heater. Harvia recommends an extra box as well, since each natural stone is unique in shape and size.
What are the electrical specs?
The specification table lists 240V single-phase power at 25 amps for this 6kW model. A licensed electrician should perform the installation following the installation and operation manual linked on this page and your local electrical codes, which have the final say on wiring for your sauna.
Can I get it in black instead of stainless steel?
Yes – this listing shows the stainless steel housing, and the Color option on this page lets you choose Black or Stainless Steel when ordering. Either finish comes with the same stainless steel heating elements, the sleek minimalist Scandinavian look, and left- or right-handed installation flexibility.
What warranty and paperwork come with it?
The heater ships with its installation and operation manual and is covered by a 2-year full warranty for consumer use plus a 5-year service warranty, per the Includes tab. The complete Harvia warranty document is linked at the top of the page beside the Authorized Dealer badge.
