How to Set Harvia Xenio Sauna Thermostat Timer Beyond 1 Hour | CX-35, CX-45, CX-170

Описание: ⏱️ How to Set Harvia Xenio Sauna Thermostat to Run Longer Than One Hour

In this video, we show you how to set up a Harvia Xenio sauna thermostat to run longer than the default one-hour limit. This is a common question we get from clients at Sip Saunas, especially after a new sauna install.

If your sauna is shutting off after one hour, this is not a malfunction — it’s a factory safety setting designed to comply with electrical and building codes. With the correct setup, the Xenio controller can be configured for extended run times where permitted.

⚠️ Important Safety Note
Always follow the Harvia manual, local electrical codes, and manufacturer safety guidelines. Extended run times should only be enabled where allowed and appropriate for the installation. When in doubt, consult a licensed electrician or sauna professional.
