Golden Toledo 6 Person Indoor Hybrid Sauna
The Golden Designs Toledo GDI-8360-01 is a six-person indoor hybrid sauna combining full-spectrum infrared technology with an 8 kW Harvia electric sauna heater. Clients may choose infrared radiant heat or traditional high-temperature, water-over-stones sauna heat within the same cabin.
The infrared and traditional heating systems are independently operated and cannot be used simultaneously.

The Toledo contains two separate heating systems:
- A full-spectrum infrared system for direct radiant warmth
- An 8 kW Harvia electric heater for traditional high-temperature sauna use
The selected mode determines how the cabin operates. Infrared heating uses carbon panels and near-infrared elements without sauna stones or steam. Traditional heating warms the room and stone mass, allowing water to be applied to the stones in accordance with Harvia instructions.
Important Operating Limitation
- Infrared and traditional modes must not operate simultaneously
- The user must select one heating mode per session
- Controls and electrical interlocks must not be modified
- Unauthorized modifications may create a safety hazard and void the warranty
- Total infrared emitters: 13
- FAR infrared panels: Five
- FAR infrared technology: PureTech™ carbon panels
- Near-infrared elements: Eight
- Manufacturer classification: Full spectrum
- EMF designation: Near Zero EMF
- Traditional steam production: Not applicable in infrared mode
- Water must never be applied to infrared emitters
- Near-zero EMF designation applies to the five PureTech™ carbon panels
- No zero-EMF claim is made
- Published measurements may vary by seller documentation
- EMF output can vary by distance, heater location, operating state, wiring, measuring instrument, and test method
- The near-zero designation should not automatically be applied to the near-infrared elements, controls, audio equipment, lighting, wiring, or Harvia heater
- Heater manufacturer: Harvia
- Heater type: Electric traditional sauna heater
- Nominal output: 8 kW
- Standard control: Built-in controls
- Optional control: Separate digital control with Wi-Fi

The exact Harvia heater and digital controller model must be confirmed on the final invoice because the seller offers more than one control configuration.
